despite it all, we thrive together

I have a down payment on a new car but I'm looking at $12,000-13,000 in loans to get a car that will fit my wheelchair (and has a back up camera) (I am not looking for advice on car shopping)

I need a car to get to work, school, medical appointments, and run errands. many of the places I need to go are not accessible by bus and even if they were doing things like hauling a load of groceries on a bus in a wheelchair is difficult (not looking for advice). I have been without a car for 3 months waiting on a decision from the warranty and people are getting really fatigued from giving me rides all the time. I don't think I can convince people to give me rides forever, it has become increasingly difficult to get them even when asking in large mutual aid chats. I do not have the money to uber all the time even if they weren't awful about wheelchairs.

I could really use some help covering some of the costs for a new car

there isn't really any substantial evidence that caffeine is addictive. there's evidence that you can develop a physical dependence on it but there are lots of things you can develop a physical dependence on. neuropathy medications aren't addicting just because you get withdrawals if you stop them.

but I'm hearing there's a NSFW-friendly ko-fi alternative built on atproto that's actively in the works, and being vetted by lawyers right now. as torrent-princess (OP) says, you should be able to swap out payment processors while keeping your account intact. this matters since even if stripe removes support, you'll still have a shop and all of your links intact. (ATproto is an infrastructure that bsky is built on, but is far bigger than bsky with far more opportunities.)

additionally, the Free Speech Coalition is working on a credit union specifically for adult work (including kink art) - here's the link so you can add your interest & support. Since this will be built by sex workers, there'll be far less risk of being debanked for spurious and puritanical reasons.

on a domain TLD level, there's an initiative here for a .furry domain built from the ground up by seasoned furries; it's unclear whether they'll support NSFW, but it's yet another promising turn of events for a group that's been similarly affected by censorship.

Hey gang, i need help real bad.Seriously, life is like really tough for me rigt now. So,pretty much, some doushe bag ran into me in a drunk driving incident and now im having some real bad money problems.

This is all cuz i was out getting some drinks with my fwb & and it was night time and real dark & shit so when i tried to merge (thought nobody was there) some idiot was right there,apparently.

Thankfully i got out real easy cuz only the driver of the other car and my buddy got hurt since he was givin me crazy car head & smashed his head on my wheel & got a concussion i think.

The other drive is still in a coma & his psycho ass wife keeps bitching at me bout how i gotta pay for everuthing which i think might be illegal from the harassment act

It was real ugly and basically im traumatized by The blood & shit & that guys banshee ass wife who isnt even pretty by the way has kind of traumatised me.

Pretty much, im not really insured so i got to pay for everything from my pockets,which, is very close to empty.

My booze is running out to which is pretty bad & shitty cuz i gotta drink to deal with the pain snce i dont even vibe with therapist bull shit.

Pretty much, even if i had the money to numb my pain with DIY/tradional medicine i cant even drive w/o keeping a breathalyzer in my car now which im prety sure is rigged as fucked since even if i only drank a litle bit it still fails.

Pretty much,i need at least $1500 to pay up for the my treatment, gettig my ride sexy again,and rent cuz  my land lord keeps skull fuckign my ass cuz i dont have a reliable gig rn so he wont even give me another month extension to pay.

Situation urgent.I know life is like a box of chocolates & shit but please help so i can keep being fckin awesome!!!

Pic of my truck.Mechanic said its gonna cost a fortune to fix.thank fuck this wasnt my house lol i would be in lots of trouble

The process of getting a hEDS diagnosis can be beyond confusing. The nature of hEDS as a diagnosis of exclusion means that there are many steps to ensuring that a problem is actually hEDS and not another disorder that looks similar.

When people are navigating this diagnostic process without the guidance of doctors that are familiar with the hEDS diagnostic process they often end up missing other causes of their symptoms. It's not uncommon for disorders like lupus or even other types of EDS like cEDS and clEDS to go undiagnosed in this process. Some of the disorders that can look like hEDS can be lethal without (and sometimes even with) the right interventions so it's important to get an accurate diagnosis.

I created this chart as a way to simplify the steps for a hEDS diagnosis. This chart is definitely imperfect as it's hard to capture all of the nuances in ruling out hEDS differential diagnoses but I hope this helps make the process easier to follow.
