blogging again about books and (eventually) tv and film, here’s the first installment!! melissaboles.com/blog/emily-s...

yes that payment was overdue but I sort of needed that money for GROCERIES fuck

losing my job in november (for having adhd!!) destroyed all the financial gain I’d been making and now i can’t even get a simple personal loan. just $1000 would change everything but noooo

it is very nice to be going to work at a job again and also my new job has a lower hourly rate than my last job so I am already somehow $500 short of my bills and I just got paid. anyone need any editing, proofreading, writing, or citation work done?

i have been BITCHING about #AnimalControl not returning yet and it turns out season four has already aired three episodes?! i’m a big dummy lmao

i would cut off my hand for a warm chocolate chip cookie

it is insanely difficult to find a good hot apple cider in this city. we are in WASHINGTON. there are apples EVERYWHERE

i’m supposed to make a $400 payment in two days and i don’t have it. i am looking for work - if you need social media support, editing, proofreading, audio or video editing, data entry, or anything similar, i am available!

thought I was going to finally get some good sleep and then got a 2 am email that i was denied unemployment benefits for last week because i missed an appointment and it was the final hit. the last six weeks have been excruciating and exhausting and i feel positively broken

my eyes are so tired and I am like half functional but I am writing??? so we are powering through

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

did i sleep at all last night? i truly have no idea

holding my life together with silly putty and super glue and it is dicey i gotta say

the way i would die for a $1000 personal loan right now

The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

This message hits hard.

i do not know what to do when someone hits on me. it’s something that didnt really happen in high school because of my body type and now when it happens i feel like a bumbling idiot.

you guys my sister is fucking incredible. she is amazing at her job. she bakes. she has her life together. she is so much of the reason i have survived this last year and i can’t buy her a Christmas present. i can’t afford food so presents are out of the question and i’m SO MAD.

i’m working a seasonal gig at a Christmas market and my biggest fear was running into one of my coworkers from the job i’m on unpaid leave from. it just happened and it was 100% fine. as usual, my brain overthought the hell out of it.

truly an amazing experience to apply for a job, get a response, and then immediately discover it is a scam. incredible.

still looking for seasonal and temporary gigs or even something longer!

i was SO CLOSE to feeling like i could breathe again financially and now i’m out of food and out of money and i just wanna

i am $180 short for my rent thanks to this mess going on with my job, so if anyone needs a writer or editor, data entry support, audio or video editing, transcription, or even someone to place phone calls for you between now and December 4, i am available for work!

asked for an accommodation for my ADHD and was put on unpaid leave until the accommodation gets “figured out.” if anyone needs a writer, editor, or social media consultant, or needs help with any kind of project (data entry, returning calls, etc.), i am suddenly avail.

does anyone know how to hug yourself as tight as humanly possible because things are not great right now and it’s the only thing i can think of that will make me feel better but i cannot order it on the internet
