Good morning. To anyone who wands to bring those 'get a job' comments. I used to work freelance. I liked my job and was moving toward being a self published and traditional author. An undiagnosed chronic illness and early onset arthritis threw a wrench in that plan in 2016. The fatigue especially was shocking for me and only got worse over the years. The the pandemic hit and my father had a severe stroke. Before that he was the healthiest person and workaholic. When that happened I was on the verge of going to train to get a traditional job to help cover the expenses of being ill and allow me better resources as I wrote. My mother begged me to stay home and look after my father just as I was about to start the training. I was hesitant at first because of personal reasons. But I ended up dropping the training and taking care of my dad. Then freelance sites started changing policies that made it harder for people to work on them. I lost my top earning site. Then in late 2021 I got a severe case of Covid. I masked, but still got sick (stay masked, everyone). As time went on my health nose dived even worse and I realized I had Long Covid. It destroyed my ability to write fiction and made reading a painful chore. As a writer I couldn't do my job for clients anymore and had to cancel jobs. I was also too weak to even seek outside work. So I was near bed bound and unable to keep a job. In 2025 I tried to work again. During the interview processed I fell to the ground and was unable to get up right away. I also got an infection. So I had to tell the interviewer what happened and drop my application. Worse, I was actually a lock. I would have gotten the job. Also in 2024 because of folks not making within our household I fell severely ill and got both severe adult asthma and GERD. I never had either of these before and the doctor couldn't explain it. Better yet I was diagnosed a few weeks before my birthday. I still try to apply to work from time to time, but I never get picked and any energy I have is very temporary. In 2026 my infection returned and it's reacted my kidneys. I fundraised for the first round of treatment. But once those results come in, I will have to raise funds for the next treatment and antibiotics. My life is surrounded by my illness. Did you know I had planned to release a YA book series. I even had the covers done back in the 2010's. But illness threw those plans assunder and I can only look back at those covers and wonder what could have been. So don't assume I never tried or enjoy being unemployed. I am literally too weak to work. Thanks for reading all this. If you want to support a chronically ill writer who's unable to write much, please check my pinned. Take care.

I am about to RANT. I am sitting in bed at noon unshowered because my chronic illnessed and kidney infection have made me too tired. I hope to have enough energy to stand in the shower soon. And to come on my Poketwit account to say a quick hi to my peeps and see Yushi have to discuss yet another ungracious individual and new negative community drama, makes my blood boil. Donations are given voluntarily. Throne is not a get rich scheme. People genuine give what they want or can. I have never gotten a single item off throne in years. None. I have never stepped out ranting that I am owed a dime. I am battling life threatening things without a job or good health. Yet I hold onto hope and gattitude and too many of you in way better situations are on here acting like people owe you a game console. I am so serious, have some shame or common sense. I want to throttle people like you through the screen. Let me stop and try to summon the energy to bathe. I'm done.

okay this is probably the only time I will address this type of situation but yesterday I received multiple messages of hate through my strawpage. if you’re sending messages of hate that’s directed towards me and can’t even say it to my face then obviously I’m just going to ignore them and I’m DEFINITELY not going to post them. so basically just don’t waste the time and effort to send them. I’m a real human being behind your phone screen. I have emotions, feelings, and shed tears just like you do. instead of using the guise of anonymity to hate, channel that into something more positive and productive for your own sake. my mental health has been in the trenches lately and having to be paranoid about who sends hurtful messages to me does not help. please just block me or mute me if you have a problem with me, thanks.

Situation Summary: ◼️ Ange is at 36%, which means only 4 donations of $5 are needed to reach the goal and complete the task. ◼️ Kaitlynn is only $55 away from being fully funded. ◼️ Toti is at 82%, we need 8 donations of $5 for her to reach 90% and complete the task. If we set our minds to it, we can achieve it. Remember that those who help with the tasks will be added to the next checklist ‼️
