"Why do old people always have the brightness so high and the text so big on their phones? 🙄" Because aging causes vision loss.

"Why do old people struggle to do [insert 'basic' task like using remotes, doing things on electronic devices, cooking food, etc]? 🙄" Because aging causes cognitive function loss.

Remaking for February, same sitch, new Month.

I'm Casi, I'm a disabled enby who is the sole caregiver for my elderly disabled mother. We are Homeless, and staying in a hotel because it is the safest option for us. There are literally no shelters anywhere accessible, we have no family that could put us up, and the county sheriffs will arrest you if they find you on the streets or camping in the desert. We dont even have a car to live in. We have no transportation and no other options.

Mom has chronic bronchitis and severe arthritis and has difficulty breathing and walking, I have chronic pain and autoimmune issues.

Currently Moms SSI is our only stable income, and it only goes so far, I do sell my art and am looking for stable work but, so far not much luck on either front really.

The room costs $72 a night, $557 a week.

Literally anything that anyone could spare to help us is so incredibly appreciated, even $1 helps, a reblog especially helps because the more people who see this the more likely someone who can afford to help us will see it.

Right now we've got the room paid for until the 7th, and moms second check comes in tonight, which should cover another week. I'll update on the 7th when I know how far Moms second check will cover.

I went in to pay for the room and the entire hotel has been booked by some vacationers and by the grace of god they were able to shift things around to let us keep our room but for some reason the computer would only let us book one night?????

They told me to come back in tomorrow and hopefully whoever's in the office will have better luck with the computer or maybe some people will have canceled their reservations or something but I have no fucking clue what to do if we have to get out.

Any other hotel in town will give us 15 days and then we're booted and who knows if this place will have any vacancies then?

Went in at 7am.

Gia, who has told me multiple times that shes not gonna put us out was the one at the desk. Thank God. She went over an above to help us keep a roof over our heads.

Long, Long story short.

We werent able to keep the room we've had BUT she was able to find us an open room at the more expensive hotel [remember they're weird sister hotels with different prices but one office] for tonight and get us a Reservation back over at the less expensive hotel from tomorrow to Friday.

I had to pay an arm and a leg for this room tonight but less than a night at another place + cab fare back and forth wouldve been and I've got us secured for the week.

Moved us from point A to point B for today and gotta move us back tomorrow but at least we're not out in the elements.

I want that specifically so people can make it a meme to post pictures of themselves showing me stuff. Like memes off their phone.

Or maybe things that they are proud of but don't have anyone else to show them to. Like your school graduation papers, this cool knitting project you finally finished, your baby who's never going to see their grandparents.

And I also want a clause that they will absolutely fucking never put those anti-homeless things of any kind on my damn bench. So if there's ever someone who's got nobody else to keep them company, they can at least spend the night with me.

Which led to this really lovely moment at the statue unveiling when during the speeches Woolf's Great-grandnephew clambered into the statue's lap

See a Cybertruck pulled over on the shoulder of the road? You might wanna call the highway patrol and let them know, ask them to check it out! Call the non-emergency police line, and see if they can do a wellness-check!

There could be somebody trapped inside the vehicle, due to the "if one thing breaks, the whole thing breaks and/or locks up" feature. It could spontaneously burst into flames, too! I've heard of cyber trucks doing that!

I don’t care that “they’re nazi incels who gave Elroy money and deserve whatever happens to them” or whatever the new line is. Nobody deserves this. Nobody.

Referred to as “the Dusseldorf patient” to protect his privacy, researchers said he is the fifth confirmed case of an HIV cure. Although the details of his successful treatment were first announced at a conference in 2019, researchers could not confirm he had been officially cured at that time.

I want to live in the universe where we get to say
