i've lost my job a couple of months ago and have been struggling to find anything else to replace it, and now, whatever money i had saved is quickly going down the drain - it's reached a point where i don't have enough to afford bus tickets to take me to the job interviews i have managed to schedule.

i don't really have anyone else that can help me with this situation, and it's really taking a toll on me. all i want is to be able to find a job and stand on my own feet, but now i can barely attempt to do that.

so i ask you to please donate to my ko-fi if you can, or just spread this post around! any amount you could give would be a huge help to me

All summer and fall, beavers gather up branches with the leaves they actually eat, and store it in the deep end of the Pond, where the cold water and limited oxygen keep the leaves fresh all winter, so when it's negative 20 outside, a beaver can take a dip out of it's lodge, grab some refrigerated leaves in the (relatively) warmer water and go back to it's cozy little nap hole while everything else is out there suffering and eating bark or the like.
