the thing about steampunk spaceflight is that you can investigate all these little things and solve all these little problems but inevitably everything is going to come together disastrously. The whole is worse than the sum of its parts. You can design a really cool steampunk space station--I have definitely tried at times--but it all falls apart when you try to launch it into space.

The British Interplanetary Society's 1930s plan for a moon rocket feels very steampunk to me, even though there is no steam engine, and there are a fair degree of electrical appliances and radio and things.

had a full blown panic attack at work today and broke down crying on the floor and it might cost me my job and it definitely fucked my body up cause my blood pressure and pulse have been close to dangerously high all day. never done this before but really need some money to make sure i can make bills this month since i'm probably going to have to go to the doctor now. if you can help it would mean the world, if not please help me get more eyes on this.

got info from the doctors office and now know how much the appointment will cost and so now we technically have a goal:

home from the er. did not have a heart attack but have been prescribed blood pressure medication and anxiety medication. both of which are gonna cut into money meant for bills this month so again anything helps even just more eyes on the post. thank you all so much.

still at only $6 and just got the er bills. please help if you can, may still be getting fired too, job won't tell us one way or the other.

up to $17, thank you so much.

now up to $67/~$2000

$187/$2000

back from the doctor. bp is still high but not ~as~ high. they doubled the blood pressure meds and halved the anxiety meds. have to keep a bp log and go back in a week. this vist was $200, the next will be $120. thank you all so much for helping us through this. it's been scary but knowing there are kind souls out there who are willing to help, either monetarily or just by spreading the word has truly helped us stay calm during all this.

going back to the doctor for followup tomorrow which will determine if we are allowed to go back to work or if we need more observation. also waiting for paperwork in the mail to fill out and run around to get all our doctors to fill out so a third party compnay that we don't work for decides if our time out is a "valid reason for leave of absence" which will determine if we are allowed to keep our job.🙃

$272/$2120 thank you all so much. we're running out of ways to say it, but truly thank you.

been stalled for a few days and had to cover part of the utilities cause mom has been out of work on medical leave too. anything helps and thanks so much to anyone who already gave anything, means the world.

finally cleared to go back to work but our next 2 paychecks are going to be close to zero and now utilities are due. we know we are asking for a lot, but please, if you can donate to help. if not spreading this around also helps!

Did you know that soda machines at restaurants and movie theaters spy on you? That most common new cars now record your sexual preferences and send it to the manufacturer (and also data about anyone who also gets in your car, walks by your car, and maybe happens to be within visual range of your car)? That grocery stores are trying to force customers to download an app to scan barcodes on shelves instead of putting up prices, so the app can scan the phone, decide how much that customer should be squeezed for, and adjust the price? That more and more innocent people are being sent to jail for crimes committed hundreds of miles away because an AI facial recognition algorithm spit their faces out and the cops didn't bother to do the most basic of checks?
