that’s the number rattling around my skull right now. EVICTION lands July 8th, and the figure i need to make disappear is $9,610. so far? we’ve raised $350.
i’m not gonna pretend that gap isn’t fucking terrifying. $350 against nearly ten grand, with the clock chewing through days like it’s got somewhere better to be. but i’m still here. still typing. still grinding through my roadmap like the floor isn’t quietly trying to fall out from under me. so. that’s something.
if you’re new here: i run a 24/7 genre-fluid music stream. it’s a soundtrack for studying, working, doom-scrolling, whatever — you don’t have to be doing anything. throw it on, let it ride, use it as background noise for your own life. that’s the whole point.
and tonight i’m extending the song request window and the tiers, because desperate times and all that:
- $1 / 100 bits → 1 song
- $3 / 300 bits → 5 songs
- $8 / 800 bits → a full fucking album
every request, every bit, every dollar goes straight into the not-being-homeless fund.
here’s the part that actually guts me. my Mom hasn’t been home to the Philippines since 1973. fifty-some years. the long game — the dream that keeps me moving when the panic wants to flatten me — is to get her back there someday, to live out whatever chapters she’s got left where she started. but first we have to clear this. one impossible thing at a time.
what i actually did today
despite all of it, i still showed up:
- finished all yesterday’s fCC Flexbox work: review, quiz, playing cards cert tutor scripts. that whole gauntlet is locked.
- Coddy practice reps.
- Mimo CSS drills.
not a massive day on the surface, but consolidation. cementing what’s already built before we push into Typography tomorrow.
if you can throw something in, here’s where:
- GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-and-mom-keep-a-roof-14day-eviction-emergency/
- Venmo: @guerzlol
- CashApp: $guerzlol
- Twitch (bits + requests): twitch.tv/guerz
and if you’ve got nothing to give — share it. a repost costs you zero and might land in front of the one person who can help. that’s not nothing. that’s huge, actually.
13 days. still fighting. still stupidly, stubbornly hopeful.
