I haven't talked much about what's been going on with me for the last, like, year here, because it is complicated and lousy. One thing that's been going on is that I am desperately trying to find a job. I have sent out a triple-digit number of job applications at this point, I've had several first-round interviews, and I've even had a couple of first-round interviews from which things may still come, but leads would still be welcome. I can physically do an office job, but not retail or anything that requires a lot of standing and lifting; if you think you have a lead, I can show you my resume, or just apply directly.
But there's a thing for which I need money. I have to move. As in, the lease on this apartment is up, and I need to be out by the end of the 31st. After that, I'll be sleeping on a friend's couch until I am employed.
(Please note, Ruth and Fox and the cat have somewhere to go and are safe. This affects me and about sixty percent of our stuff. It's complicated, as I said. No, we are not divorcing and have not broken up.)
I have hired movers, who will be here the 27th, and I am going to get them to take the stuff to a storage unit. I have not yet gotten the storage unit, because I do not have the money. I didn't really have the money for the deposit on the movers, but I had to nail down a time slot or there'd be no hope of getting out of here on time.
With everything-- storage unit deposit and first month, mover's fee plus tips for the actual workers, parking permit for the moving truck, moving supplies, etc., etc.-- I... need about four thousand dollars that I don't have. I should be able to manage the storage unit after it's set up, since it'll only be a couple hundred a month.
I feel really weird about asking, but, well, my paypal is rushthatspeaks at gmail dot com, and I would appreciate any assistance you all are able to give. I have never asked for this kind of thing before, and I sincerely hope never to do so again.
Some of you are also on Discord with me, and so will see this more than once, for which I am sorry.

Thank you for being there and reading my blog all these years, and I hope you'll keep doing so; it's really been more than I have ever expected.
