the Weld ❤️‍🔥 moving soon edition @fidgetcetera@plural.cafe

hi all!

so, we're finally fucking moving by the end of this month (aaaaaaa)

we get some income from doing freelance contract projects for software dev and accessibility work, and we have some savings, but, like. extra income is always welcomed, especially when steadier through things like patreon, because we're disabled and the inability to work consistently is always looming over us, plus just, moving costs, medical costs, groceries, all of the things.

so like, short version, we'll be scraping by okay but like if you want to help out or spread this around, we'd appreciate it

https://weld.eerie.garden/support.html has all the ways you can support us, like patreon and paypal, with a wishlist. enter offer code 69!

we do digital glitch art, with commission info at https://weld.eerie.garden/art/commissions.html

we release music rarely and you can download it for free at https://red-onyx-music.xyz/the_weld_system.html and consider tipping above if you like

do we know anyone who wants a paid wordpress/elementor builder/woocommerce/klaviyo job, needing done ASAP? there's Issues with the klaviyo api, and they're at a loss with the issue. you can reply/dm with a contact email and we'll pass it along to them for more details

have you ever been given norethindrone as an alternative to progesterone, and how was it, have you gotten to compare it, what did it actually do for you?

we were on norethindrone when we started, off it for a while, and we just started progesterone, but we honestly haven't figured out much of what norethindrone was doing for us, if much, and we're curious abt other ppl's experiences

is there a good android app for like. reminders of meds based on when you last took other meds or when you announce going to bed, instead of on a rigorous schedule?

our sleep schedule is kinda fluid and like. we have a set of "morning" meds that sometimes we'll be taking at like 16:00 or 20:00

and then another that's spaced out from that, and another spaced out from that. is it possible to just say "I've taken my meds, now remind me in 2 hours to take a fiber supplement" or whatever?

if you or someone you know wants to pay someone to do some front-end web design, especially something nice mainly done in HTML and CSS with as little javascript as possible, we could use some work! we have a small portfolio at https://weld.eerie.garden/portfolio

we also do glitch art commissions, info at https://weld.eerie.garden/art/commissions.html

and if you just wanna support us without making it a Work thing, weld.eerie.garden/support.html is there too

continued update:

we have, like, some amount of freelance web design income, but not much - we can scrape together what we need to help out. if anyone could take in a disabled system, ideally either near the chicago area (we'd prefer to end up there) or somewhere nearish to atlanta (currently in the area as is), we'd appreciate it.

our parents that we're stuck with are going to be moving to a new house through the month of May, and we will be pulled into helping with this in ways we cannot physically handle, and we already know they're not considering us and our wheelchair and fucked leg at all, given they're picking out entirely multi-story homes.

if you wanna help us out with income, https://weld.eerie.garden/support is the way to go, and recurrent donation methods, mainly Patreon, go a long way towards making us sure we're kinda stable.

so, an update, we're getting hit with a lot of pressure to get a job and move out, and we really can't stay at our parents'.

monetary support still welcome (https://weld.eerie.garden/support), but also, if anyone in the atlanta metro area (or, within a reasonable driving distance of that, or longer if you're willing to help us get the Hell out of this state, we don't have a car ourselves) has space for a disabled queer plural system to stay, that'd be great. we don't have much income, and don't expect to be able to help out much with rent, but. we have some savings if it comes to it.

we're, you know, in the works of trying to find some work and/or get on disability, but there's a strong chance we either don't find anything remote we can do, or if we do, we'll burn out fast or otherwise not hold onto it for long, and that we don't qualify for SSI.

our music:
https://red-onyx-music.xyz/the_weld_system.html
it's public domain and free to use. if you like it, we'd love if you'd pay what you can (and seriously, only that much) at http://paypal.me/fidgetcetera

we don't recommend our bandcamp, just use our netlabel's page 💚💜🤍🖤🧡💖💙
we have not taken commissions for our music but we... could?

our glitch art:
https://weld.eerie.garden/art/glitch
we do take commissions, starting at $30 for existing images and $45 for pieces done from scratch!

hiya! so we've had things unpinned and this has been less focal for a bit, mostly because our entire life has been a Thing lately and the stress of internalized ableism and classism was not a good addition at the time.

if you'd like to support us, links to our patreon, paypal, cashapp, and a wishlist are on https://weld.eerie.garden/support

currently we're stuck living with our abusive parents again, who we previously planned to cut contact with, and we will be stuck with them for... an unknown amount of time.

the house is very inaccessible, being a three story place while we use a cane and wheelchair for chronic leg pain, and we have no bedroom so we're sleeping on an air mattress in the living room. we don't really currently have a great way out of this situation.

the most direct thing is that if we have enough income to actually support ourselves, there's the potential to move out, but otherwise it's all kinda
-big shrug- rn. but even in the short term, maintaining financial independence for things like keeping up our own phone plan, getting meds, buying groceries for ourselves when our parents are dismissive of our needs, and ordering food when we can't cook, are really useful.

please, though, do make sure your own oxygen mask (that is to say, ability to survive) is affixed before helping us out at all. thanks, y'all.
