do you remember the time?

Hello, fellow Tumblians (it sounds nice). I’m going to give a spiel about my experience and move into the real point of this post. 

As an introvert, I shied away from doing a lot of the necessary things I needed to do when growing up. Instead of sticking with the brick and mortar type of schooling, I ended up doing online schooling (though, that didn’t entirely have to do with my being an introvert as it did with a series of unfortunate, traumatizing events). 

With online schooling and being a physical hermit, I didn’t get out as much as I should have. I stayed inside and I wrote–being a creative writer was always the thing I clung to as I grew up. I went on to get a Bachelors in Technical Communications with an Emphasis in Writing. After I did this, I proceeded to job hunt with little success. Fast forwarding in time: I went on to get a Masters in English and Creative Writing (also through an online program). 

During my graduate experience, I did an online internship with Study Breaks Magazine (link to my work: https://studybreaks.com/author/terrica-singletary-southern-new-hampshire-university/) and it was an enjoyable experience. Anyone looking to learn the ropes of publication should give it a go. Anyhow, after graduating, I got a part-time job with Brainfuse–whom I’ve been working for since April 2017. I even got a job with GameSkinny (link to my work: https://www.gameskinny.com/gs/tmsingle/) earlier this year, along with another remote job at Textbroker International. So far, I’ve been enjoying my work. It does not pay as much as I would like, but it’s still a start, especially with my experience not being as extensive as it could be.

Now, let me get into the reason why I’m still doing remote work. In June 2016, my mother suffered a Hemorrhagic stroke, or what they told us a “bleeding stroke”. She went into the hospital on Father’s Day that Sunday, had an infection that Monday, got pneumonia in her lungs from the infection, and suffered heart damage. It gets even more dramatic, because just as we thought she was out of the woods, she suffered from Transient ischemic attack (TIA)–which is a medical way of saying she had mini strokes. She had mini strokes throughout a section of her brain, if I recall the doctor’s (who turned out to be an intern) phrasing. This last stroke attack basically restarted her brain and temporarily took her vision in her right eye. 

She came out of the hospital on July 12th (my birthday, which was a nice gift); however, she came out vastly different than when she went in. She went from being able to handle her business and the family’s business to barely being able to handle her business. As I’m close to my mom (she’s my best friend), you can imagine how traumatized I was throughout the situation. My mom, who wasn’t the perfect image of health, now has to deal with being on blood pressure medicine, no peripheral vision in her right eye, and struggling with basic thought at times. She’s certainly better off than she could be, but I still want more for her. 

With my dad being a retired veteran dealing with PTSD, which leads into its own stressful issues, my days are pretty much full with him and my mom. So, remote work is the best I’ve got right now. I’m searching for a better job and hoping to find one that will give me the financial relief I need.

Now, the reason I have made this post is because of my mom. Bills are always a struggle and a stressor. As she does deal with difficulty in keeping her blood pressure low, I want to make her life as stress-less as I can. So, I started a Ko-fi in hopes of raising a little money to gift her with. She deserves it. She’s been in my corner since day one. She’s so supportive of my writing. She seriously believes in me, which is insane to me since I barely believe in myself. I want to be able to gift her with a breath of fresh air. So, it’s my hope that, through Ko-fi and Tumblr, I can raise a little money to give her. 

I’m not trying to pay her bills for the rest of her life, but if I can give her a month of relief, that would be something. Until I can get a job that will support myself and her, I am hoping to get a little funding to help her out. 

So, if you’re able to donate anything at all ($1 would be a $1 more than I have right now), I would be appreciative. The Ko-fi link is up above, my Paypal is through the email of [email protected], and my Cash App is $TMSingletary712. If you’d like a short story or poem or something of that nature in return, let me know. I need to flex my creative writing juices. 

On another note, I really think I might try to do a daily drabble from a writing prompt to post in my news feed on my Ko-fi. @spidrei

Rule says women must wear heels. No flats.

Kristen Stewart takes off her heels in front of all the cameras and walks barefoot.

Last week India passed a blatantly anti-Muslim law that seeks to naturalise millions of immigrants, except if they are Muslims.

In August of this year, India revoked the autonomous status of the Kashmir region, putting a communication blackout on the state. Kashmir has entered the fifth month of no internet and heaviest militarisation of any region in the world.

India is a secular, socialist republic. This bill is anti-constitutional and against the principles on which the country was founded

Naturally, there have been protests across the country. At the forefront of the protests are students from India's public universities.

Police opened fire on peaceful protestors in Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi, and Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh.

Ever since then, the ruling fascist Hindu nationalist political party, the BJP, has been doctoring videos and sending fake news all over the internet, discrediting protestors and labelling them as terrorists

I am perfectly happy working 8 hrs a day because I don’t have to:

grow my own food

find my own clean water

heat my house

Ok, first of all assume the worst and assume she needs the max amount of tampons possible for all days. Now lets count it up.

7 days? Better be safe and make it 10.

3 tampons a day at worst? Better be safe and make it 5.

So that gives us 50 tampons. Ok. Double it.

And that’s how you get 100.
