  1. CW: CW: Trans Joy | Financial Need | Mutual Aid Ask | Systemic Frustration

    This is weird.

    It's weird because I'm feeling better, and that means that I have the spoons to ASK for something. And moreover, this is an ask that, despite my own unwillingness to validate my own needs, is WORTH asking.

    THE PROBLEM

    I have $15 in my bank account.

    Tonight at midnight, my boyfriend performs as a DJ for the FIRST TIME EVER in front of a live audience. People tell me "don't worry; he'll DJ again," but as there is no objective moment in history where he will EVER perform again FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, my intellect is incapable of seeing "he'll DJ again" as anything other than a platitude. Akin to telling someone their loved one died "for a reason."

    Cool. Fuck whoever came up with the reason then, you know? :P

    I just know for a fact that I have performed alone when I believed that I had friends. And while when your self-esteem is fine these two things facts do not, in combination destroy you, I can't imagine anyone finds it a blast to not have anyone there at your back when it'd be coolest of all to have them there.

    My boyfriend is performing in Erie, PA. It is two hours away from me, and so my only way to get there (both at this point or at any other point under present conditions) is to rent a vehicle via Zipcar, which permits me to borrow a vehicle for a reasonable amount of time for only $150.

    Zipcar includes gas via a paycard in the driver's visor, so there would be no additional charges there. Furthermore, since it functions more like a subscription service than a car rental service, there are no fucking surprise "$600 we-picked-up-this-one-dog-hair-for-ya" fees as with Budget, who I continue to hate despite their having refunded me that fee.

    I don't have a key to get back into the place where I am staying, though, so I'd have to rent the car until at least 7–8am for approx. $170, despite the fact that I won't be driving for the final few hours of that rental period. Effectively, I would require the car from 10pm tonight, when I use it to drive to Erie, until 8am tomorrow morning, when I can re-enter the space where I am able to stay.

    THE ASK

    $200 would be a fucking miracle to me tonight. I could literally make tonight a dream come true, and I could have an experience with an intimate and dearly beloved partner that no one, not even me, will EVER be able to share with them again.

    $160 could potentially get me there and back, and it would be the absolute minimum I'd need in my bank account to OK the trip for myself. It would be a risk, but one potentially well-worth taking.

    Anything less would not make this trip any less prohibitive to someone with my ability to have any control over my own fate. But it would make my life ever so slightly easier when--the day after tomorrow--I return to my doctor's office for new meds to replace the ones I've been without for weeks.

    THANK YOU

    I truly don't expect to go see my boyfriend tonight. For weeks now, I've accepted the fact that I do not get to do things like these that other people take for granted. I just, finally--and just for a little bit--maybe have the spoons to beg someone to make things different tonight.

    This is tonight, so GFM is bad for this:

    • Chime Sign: $EllisArcwolf

    The "Chime Sign" is only usable internally by folks who have a Chime bank account, but it's the fastest and most direct transfer method to my primary account.

    THE FUTURE

    January 6th. The license. Dear gods, I resent the fact of having been made to wait and to suffer this long for it so much, and whether or not I get the license, I cannot imagine when I will ever see the PA State Board as anything but cruel and apathetic to the plight of any REAL human being. Which is a sad thing to think about the board in charge of THERAPISTS for a state, but I can't help what I think about a board that has ONLY EVER shown me that's exactly who they are.

    When Pinocchio claims to be a real boy, and his nose only grows longer and more artificially cylindrical in response, I feel like I'd be a fool if I believed him anyway. And until not that recently, I absolutely would have despite all evidence to the contrary because I have never ONCE found that my ability to be kind to others has magically and generously extended to include me.

  2. Fuck #Chime. They want an image of my ID? I've got high DPI scans, but they want a webcam photo that keeps failing.

    Only tried to sign up because my wife wanted me to as a way to replace the Google Wallet/Gpay functionality that Google dry-fucked and burnt down.

    I officially reached the limit of my inconvenience after 2 failed attempts to photograph the back of my ID...

  3. CW: CW: Financial Stress / Medical Marijuana (Employment Law) / Banking / Good News

    I entered this Monday with hope and joy, but with financial concerns. After all, I was still overdrawn by -$400, and a new and exciting thing hit my account this weekend.

    You see, as many of you know, while I was living in the horrible situation that I had found myself in during the two years I lived in Iowa, I had a THC medical card and I used THC pretty regularly to keep myself from having a crisis every single day. Upon leaving Iowa, my plan had been to quit THC, and so far that plan has stuck.

    Unfortunately, it appears I'll need a medical card in Pennsylvania anyway. Legal protections against discrimination in employment due to the use of medical marijuana exist in Pennsylvania, but only for Pennsylvania account holders. To ensure that no drug test impedes my approach towards employment, I had to pay $153 for a doctor's appointment to get evaluated for a THC card here.

    And that sucks. I didn't want that. I need it to make sure nothing stops me from working, but I hate it and I wish I could've saved that money.

    There is a silver lining. This morning, I met Chime. Chime is a neobank for people struggling and trying to rebuild their credit—and wow, do I need address that issue soon. I was able to open an account with them, and that means that all GoFundMe funds will be immediately accessible to me as of tomorrow.

    I was broke. And now, thanks to you, and to Chime, I have $80 in my pocket. Enough to get around and get things done for at least a few days. Thank you!

    The Capital One account is still overdrawn, but now that's a problem that can wait for me to be ready to address it. After I have a sign-on bonus in my pocket that will render -$400 into a mild inconvenience and not an existential threat.

    I am relieved. And now I make phone calls. Because it's not over yet! But we are getting closer. Seven-to-ten business days? This is officially Day One. Tomorrow, it'll be six-to-nine business days, and that fucking rocks.

    Gods, what a fucking relief to get a break from that overdraft. It's all I needed. Just a little more time. And a little more help from you will take me that rest of the way. 💙

  11. US fintech firm Chime set its IPO price at $27 per share, valuing the company at $11.6 billion, ahead of its Nasdaq debut, raising $700 million and signaling renewed momentum in fintech listings.

  12. Brian Eno addresses Microsoft – where his iconic Windows 95 start-up chime first met the ears of millions:

    We now live in an age where corporations like Microsoft often command more influence than governments. I believe that with such a power comes an absolute ethical responsibility. Accordingly, I call on Microsoft to suspend all services that support any operations that contribute to violations of international law.

  13. Orbital's 'Chime' was released on FFRR on this day (12 March) in 1990. A few years back, we caught up with the Hartnoll brothers to chat about the musical road that led to their debut single. #orbital #chime

  14. I honestly only ever used Chime to talk to partners at #AWS, so its demise will simplify my life in a small way. It is interesting if unsurprising that #Amazon's announcement recommends Zoom or Slack as alternatives for bereft #Chime users, but does not mention Microsoft Teams at all… techcrunch.com/2025/02/20/amaz

  15. 🚨 Amazon will end support for its videoconferencing tool Chime by February 20, 2026! 🚫 Instead, Zoom will become the standard app for internal meetings. 📅 A major shift in Amazon's collaboration strategy. #Amazon #Chime #Zoom #TechNews #BusinessUpdates
