Shay is a skunk fur on the internet

Queer as in here to stay, not pray me away. Writer, philosopher, Columbo is awesome, play video games with me, thinker, navel-gazer, folk magic practitioner, and way too much more.


That work is dirty and physical labor, but it could be far worse and it starts pretty good money wise. My bus commute is terrible though, until I am trusted with a vehicle. Also, I've run out of funds after buying work clothes/boots, so I need to ask for help again, hopefully for the last time.

First of all, there are some of you who have helped me out in the past, and thank you for that. I wouldn't have made it here without you. I hopefully can make rent (I think if I understand the pay schedule and things correctly, I should be able to cut it just barely), so hopefully this will be the last time I need to request aid from people willing to give it in this time of change and troubles.

I still have some time before I get a paycheck (a few weeks), and need bus fare, cat food and litter, and incidental things (bread, soap, etc.) that I can't wait on my paycheck for, so if you can help me out in the meantime, I would be more than grateful.

Anything extra will go towards my portion of rent (which I hope I can hit this month).

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it, I truly do. I seriously hope I can get stable again, even if it means using my physical skills for a change rather than my creative and soft/office ones.

I have one month to find employment of some kind other wise we'll all have to move out. This fucking sucks y'all, I really hate every single part of this because I also don't have money to move, no where to move, and no one to move in with.

I'm doing my best, but it isn't enough. I'm asking for help and there isn't enough. I'm hopeful, but not optimistic. I honestly don't know what will happen in this coming 30 days, but I hope it's a fucking miracle.

If you know of a job, please let me know. I'm looking for any remote work and have significant experience in customer/audience facing roles. I'll at least give it an application and good try no matter what. I just don't want to have to leave my found family. None of want that but it's the option we'll have to take more shortly than I want.

If you want to help in the meantime with a donation, I'll include those below:

Thank you for those of you who have helped already or have reached out to me directly or in person. I really do need all the support I can get right now. Everything has really become heavy and difficult for me. The continued rejections despite my hours of effort are really wearing me down, so I appreciate you looking out for me, praying for me, doing a ritual with me in mind, or just sending a kind word.

Thanks again for reading. I know it's tough right now and there are too many to help. I thank you for taking the time to read at all or to share. <3 It means more than I can say.

I don't have much time left here in the state at this rate. No income, no offers, this is the final month I can keep this going with my roommate's help. Next month... we have to leave the state probably. If anyone can help, anyone with my rent and bills that are coming up... I don't know what I'd do, but I'll figure something out. I'm trying my best to not freak out and continue trying to get work, and I've received nothing but final interviews and no offers.

I'm at the end of my rope, so any help is good. I know things are hard everywhere right now too, so sharing is caring. I will literally have no home soon, so I don't know what I'm going to do for my cat. I don't have money to move and can't pack/store anything.

Frankly, it's really beginning to worry me beyond mere worry. I can't sleep well and food has no flavor, everything is really gray to me right now. I wish I had more positive news from my front, esp. here, but I have to ask, I have to try to survive using every means I have available.

Thanks for reading, and thinking of me at the very least. I need any help possible, so even that might help me out.

I haven't streamed the other days for various reasons, but I am going to be castin' the tournament from my character's POV for Day 3 early morning! Riichi Mahjong has played 3 matches thus far and has racked up a 2nd, 4th, and a 1st. Hopefully, we'll continue the positive trend!

I'm also going to need to be somewhat quiet since the tourney is happening at very early in the morning here and my roomies might be sleeping. In any case, you can follow my stream here: https://twitch.tv/shay_the_skunk . If you have an account and allow notifications for it, you'll receive a notification when I go live. At least, supposedly!

In any case, I'll be having a fun time with 3 matches within 6 hours of time on a Sunday morning, maybe you'll enjoy it too? Commentary, mahjong, and maybe some other nonsense on the side (social games, blunderville, chatting about nothing in particular, Book of Hours, some Pokémon, Minecraft, who knows, the list is endless).

Come on and watch! No camera for this particular engagement.

Let us hope Riichi Mahjong can make it all the way, or at least be part of some entertaining matches!

We ended up taking middle of the pack almost exactly. Although, we were slightly negative due to our overall point score. We could've really used the Yakuman I had a chance on last hand (All concealed pons) even if it was ron, it would've been immense with like 7 han minimum.

I also had a little 3 dragons opportunity and also a Baiman today. So, it was a fun tournament for those like me who are looking for them deep dark mystical hands.

I wish I could've stayed up and continued playing fun matches, but I just needed to pass out after. The EU schedule is not a good one for me :P although the players were incredibly nice and good spirited overall. I think most were there to /play/ if you know what I am saying. Some folks were chatty, and I think I'd be a chattier person too if I didn't have to place so many mind cycles on the game itself.

I enjoyed streaming it even though I couldn't commentate effectively outside of what I was trying to do. Any road, I'll be streaming more mahjong more often I think, it's a game I don't get tired of. I get tired of Minecraft from time to time, but I seem to only get salty with Mahjong, which is different.

Being salty can be removed with time and endured I think. Being tired of something makes it infinitely more difficult to keep up with. Minecraft is fun and all, but sometimes I gotta put it down for a hot minute. Mahjong, sometimes I end up wanting to play it more despite myself. Truly a game with no positive benefits to anyone whatsoever.
