I'm black and struggling, and the job market is not friendly to black people currently and hasn't been since 2024 Note: the link was posted in the past, so there are old donations.

Hello, we're in a tough spot. Everyone in the house has had their hours cut, and we do not have a car and have been paying for ubers to get to work and whatnot. It costs A LOT of money to get to work, and we cannot afford to keep our power on, nor our gas or plumbing.

I try not to make this about ethnicity, but things have been difficult as a black American in the US. My applications are thrown out no matter what I do unless I don't disclose I'm black.

Showing my face as proof I am black. :')

Okay now that anything that didn't have graphics is out of the way, time to make a post about this properly

I really really don't want to be opening comms up the way I am but right now with things as they are I don't really have any other options.

Rent is due tomorrow and I have 90$ out of the 800 i need just for that, and I need 50$ to pay my phone bill so I can continue my job search unimpeded.

I was at least able to pay my storage unit, so I'm not at immediate risk of losing all my belongings on top of everything else, but I'd really rather not lose the place I only recently secured, and just barely at that. But I don't really have it in me to keep busting out designs that are 50/50 on whether they can move or not (which is a statement without judgement, it's just a reality of making adopts), especially not now so.

My only real choice left is to reopen comms and exclusively focus on those for the month of August?

I've reopened slots for everything except for Adopt sprite edits, just cuz I also don't have it in me to reformat that particular commissions form right now.

I do also want to emphasize that while I'll be focusing exclusively on commissions in August, I will be handling the majority of commissions already in the queue first and foremost

Linked everything that i've reopened below, as well a discount code for any adopts tagged clearout

i need a place to crash and shower before work and I'm stupendously between paychecks so. once more scooting this around

At this point I don't know what else to do. I don't get paid again until the 17th assuming i get paid on time instead of late
