Life is a fucking nightmare, my mother is threatening to evict me July 1st if I don’t have a job by then, she flatout denied my mental illness and called me an entitled bitch, and she’s canceling my phone plan to boot
To those wondering, yes, I am putting a resume together and job-hunting, but my homophobic, transphobic, ableist mother is going to start charging me rent and potentially all my utilities which is Great.
She’s made my life hell before, as other e-begging posts of mine can testify to, but this is by far the worst. My grandmother died on Friday, June 11th, with me present as they took her off life support and as of making this post I’ve been in mourning. Unfortunately, my mother feels this is entitled and that “real adults don’t get this depressed,” as if a family death only affects mentally ill people and those unfit to live in her opinion. That she herself is the root source of a great degree of my trauma feels like a horrible sort of ironic.
I’m doing what I can but I need to be able to potentially fend her off for the month of July if I can’t secure an interview and a job by the 1st.
Anything helps.

As of right now I’m trying to get $600 to handle July rent, my medication I need to stay functional, and a phone plan.

Some good progress made via a very lovely friend, but there’s still a lot of ground left to cover

WOOOOAHHHH, WE’RE HALFWAY THERE! Not yet living on a prayer thank fuck. I have, thankfully, secured a small grace period because my Mother wants to ship me to Florida with no warning to watch the dog. Were I able, I’d tell her to piss off, but that aspect of my life has not yet arrived.

Thank you so much for the recent donations!! There’s only a small leg left to go and then I can rest a little easier ;v;
Ideally I can land a job soon, so keep your fingers crossed!

Researchers at King’s College London found that the drug Tideglusib stimulates the stem cells contained in the pulp of teeth so that they generate new dentine – the mineralised material under the enamel.
Teeth already have the capability of regenerating dentine if the pulp inside the tooth becomes exposed through a trauma or infection, but can only naturally make a very thin layer, and not enough to fill the deep cavities caused by tooth decay.
But Tideglusib switches off an enzyme called GSK-3 which prevents dentine from carrying on forming.
Scientists showed it is possible to soak a small biodegradable sponge with the drug and insert it into a cavity, where it triggers the growth of dentine and repairs the damage within six weeks.
The tiny sponges are made out of collagen so they melt away over time, leaving only the repaired tooth.
That is by far the coolest thing I’ve heard this year.
