it's the same response i get when i talk about gender and sex stuff too. "oh, thank fuck someone is talking about this." that's the good stuff it's an unfortunate fact about twitter that to reach these people i also have to reach people who will not be helped at all

ideally the tweets would somehow only be shown to people it would help and not people who are like trying to get money for medical bills or whatever and just absolutely don't need to hear about my problems. that's not how twitter works tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

probably i wouldn't be getting ratio'd right now if i'd said "a lot of money" instead of $100k but the specific amount was important to the story imo. it was an obscene amount of money and that's why it was paralyzing

like i didn't get into this in the thread but the $100k trivialized my attempts at making money by comparison. i've made on the order of a few thousand dollars tutoring and coaching which is the work i'm most proud of. that is *two orders of magnitude* less. fucking nuts

and yeah, once again, it is extremely fucked up that there are people for whom even $1k or $10k of this money would be completely life-changing. there are way more than $100k worth of these people and i don't know how to pick between them and this is the situation we're in

it sucks. it just sucks. i don't have anything remotely useful to say about how much it sucks

tbh as someone who is literally trying to get money for surgery and who is not in your position (neither financially nor with relationship with parents) your poasts were legit helpful
