Little Cherokee Seeds is a program where mothers and babies spend all day with first language Cherokee speakers, speaking nothing but Cherokee, so that the babies become a new generation of native speakers. They're also teaching traditional skills and mothering practices to the mothers to pass on.

This is so so important for the survival of the language. These babies are on track to being fluent first language speakers, and they will be able to keep the language going for another lifetime.

So good news! I got the overdraft covered. I got $70 in donations ($50 of which I haven't received yet but will go to cover my much smaller overdraft when it hits), but I ended up getting my mom's permission to take out two payday loans to cover it. I took out a third that didn't fund instantly, but that one isn't due until June 26th, and I'll use it to cover some of the PayPal 4 In 4 payments we have to tackle for Lena's glasses and other stuff.

A friend of mine is going to help more on the 10th, but I had to borrow $1000 against my mom's bank account to cover some bills because after the loan payments came out we didn't have enough to cover those bills. They're paid, but my mom is going to overdraft on the 3rd, so I need to come up with $1000 this weekend to cover as much as I can of that before the rest of the loans come out.

I went to CRC today (10/31/23) and I don't qualify for their program, so now it is all down to what I can get with the social worker I'm working with. But I'm going to need to leave this room and get another room at some point so they can clean it, plus I really need access to a microwave.

If I can raise $600 I can get five days and get a discounted rate for extra days. I'm currently $650 overdrawn, though some of that will go away tomorrow when I get my first disability payment. I need to cover some of the overdraft, and I've got the room until November 2nd for the moment, so anything at all would be a huge help.

So I checked out of my room this morning, and the car is absolutely stuffed with all my stuff, my mom & kidlet's stuff, and the cat stuff. I have to get another room, and I'd love to get it for five days, if at all possible, so I can get a good rate when I renew by the day afterward.

i tried incentivizing donations to my friend's aid fund by promising dakimakura designs for a few of my more beloved ocs, but after a couple weeks of repeated boosting Johnny (@cryptidcaper) is still no closer to their goal. so i think: "how can I reach more people? what will really incentivise donations? what's the most well-travelled thing i've made?"

i hope i've found the answer to these questions.

if you want to see this fella - from my well-loved "gno worries" patch - lovingly illustrated in a series of sultry and playful poses, all you have to do is help my guy Johnny reach their goal by 10/22/2023, either by donating yourself or spreading the word!

and it doesn't stop at just the finished drawings; if completed, each design will be available on my redbubble shop for you to own as stickers, prints, and more! i'm also browsing around for ways to make them available on pillowcases - standard pillows, not body pillows, cus he's small - so that may also be an option in the future.

The first thing I’d do is make the characters actually be adults.  Still young, but adults, in the mid to late 20s range.  Mystery Inc. is a private detective type business that they run together.  In this universe, the supernatural/ghosts/etc are real, but not necessarily common, so when they take on a case, the culprit might be a person disguised as a monster, or it might actually be a real ghost.  The stakes can be higher; sometimes a bad guy is legitimately trying to kill them.  Sometimes the mystery they’re trying to solve is a murder.  Sometimes they actually get hurt on their cases.

Fred: the core of Fred’s character should be that he’s incredibly kind.  Like, give a stranger the shirt off his back kind.  The “Fred can’t talk to potential clients because he might take a case for free and we need to eat” kind.  He’s an honest and good person and sometimes gets himself into trouble because he assumes other people are too.  While he’s not very good at reading people or noticing ulterior motives, he’s brilliant when it comes to mechanical or engineering type stuff, so he’s the one who keeps the mystery machine running, builds their gadgets, and of course, designs the traps.

Daphne: she comes from old money, and her parents absolutely despise her life choices, to the point where they haven’t officially disowned her, but they have basically cut her off, so she doesn’t actually have access to any family money.  Growing up wealthy has granted her a variety of skills, including speaking multiple languages, horseback riding, and fencing.  She’s very into fashion and jewelry (even if she can’t afford it anymore) and has extensive knowledge of both that can occasionally provide a vital clue in a case. And even though her parents have cut her off, Daphne still has a wide network of contacts she can ask for favors sometimes, because she’s personable, and people tend to like her.  Daphne is also very emotionally intelligent, and is usually the one who can spot when someone is lying to them.

Side note - I ship Fred and Daphne, so I think I would start them off as an established couple for this universe.  Dating, engaged, married, I don’t care.  They are stupidly in love, ride or die for each other.  There’s no will they, won’t they, no worries about cheating.  They are in a healthy, happy, loving relationship, and no one (not even Daphne’s disapproving parents) are going to mess that up for them.

Velma: she is the forensics nerd who sometimes gets super excited about the wrong thing at the wrong time (”He was mummified in seconds? That’s so cool!” “Velma!  His wife is standing right there!” “Oh.  Sorry.”).  She’s not purposely insensitive, she just gets laser focused on her work and forgets to filter herself sometimes.  She’s also the one who can get so fixated on solving whatever mystery they’re working on, she’s willing to bend or maybe break laws.  Is breaking and entering really so bad?  Not if it gets them answers.

Shaggy: he is still the comic relief, but he’s the comic relief by being the only person in the group that actually has common sense.  He manages the business’s finances, he’s the only one who knows how to cook, and the others tease him for being a coward sometimes, but Shaggy maintains that if a ghost with an axe is coming for you, running is the only sensible option.  He should also have a range of random knowledge that sounds useless, but sometimes saves the day (ex ventriloquism, origami, the history of spoons, etc).
