Updated post for August!

Thank you to everyone that helped out with the July goal! Rent was paid in time to avoid eviction!

Until I'm able to find a job $1,209 is the total gap between our income and our monthly rent and utilities.

This amount does not include food, toiletries, or medical expenses. We’d appreciate any help with these but the goal is to prioritize the roof over our heads and the utilities. Our only source of income depends on remaining housed.

Please help however you can every amount helps.

why?

everything he loved as a kid is white

his baba is white, mimi is white, his stuffed lion is white, his baba's shirt that he likes to cling to is white, smiles are white, the rice porridge his baba makes for him when hes sick is white

...

I probably should have posted this here earlier considering that it was made back in June.

pure vanilla just wants to heal his lover 💙

Unused weird route sprites it seems (was looking through the chapter 5 files)

and speaking of unused, here's this chapter's Unused text as well in case you haven't seen it:

Day 3840 - 19 July 2026

But Mexican-american food is "regional cuisine that often began developing in what used to be part of Mexico/Mexican territory and continued to develop after the borders changed."

Some of it isn't "striving to recreate the flavors of home." Sure, maybe like, Mexican food in Chicago is about that. But I'm from Arizona. My family is from Tucson by way of (Tucson being annexed) and then Sonora & Chihuahua. We're not trying to recreate anything — because Tucson is still in the Sonoran desert.

This is a map of the Sonoran desert region:

I've helpfully marked Tucson.

Just to be clear, it takes an hour and 20 minutes nowadays to drive to the Mexican side of Nogales. You could walk the journey in a little over 27 hours. So obviously less than a week on horseback.

What I'm saying here is that the "diaspora" is maybe implying that Mexican-american cuisine largely developed with huge geographical distances or lack of access to Mexican cultivars or something but like.

Here's a map of New Spain in 1819:

Here's a map of the War:

I'm just saying that a lot of Mexican-American food is literally just food and culinary traditions that Mexicans were eating in northern parts of Mexico/New Spain.

It might shock people to learn, but there were Mexicans living in Mexico. And parts of Mexico are now the United States. And those Mexicans, if they stayed, are now Mexican Americans, and our culinary traditions have undergone normal growth and innovations over time. Mexico-mexicans also had normal innovations and growth in their regional cuisines as well! That's just how time and increased access with faster transport works. I have met a lot of people from Mexico who seem to think the second they're in San Diego instead of Tijuana, that the food is no longer authentic Mexican food and...it is baffling to me. It's an invisible line in the sand.

The border is not actually an impenetrable wall. The food doesn't become inauthentic at border patrol checkpoints. Those didn't even exist not that long ago.

Local dentist saw a shadow on an x-ray for an unrelated visit and found bacteria eating away at my tooth and skull thats been happening for years. It hasn't been spotted until now because I wasn't showing any of the associated symptoms.

I need multiple surgeries to get the remains of the front tooth broken into pieces and removed, the bacteria scrubbed off, a bone graft applied to my skull, an implant installed and of course a new crown manufactured and screwed in.

They urged me to do it as soon as possible or else it will get worse.

If u could please donate / share ill be endlessly grateful ❤️
