Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to promote myself, and it is all.

I have managed to give away 116 free copies of my novel. Now I have 29 more to give away by the 28th (five days). I’ll be honest, that’s a tall order when I’ve pretty much tapped out my limited network for the previous 115. That is why I need your help.

I need readers. That is the long and short of it. If you could reblog this, spread the word, or even send this link to someone you know who might like it I would be so eternally grateful. 29 is all I need and 29 is all I am asking for.

If you have already taken a copy that’s great and you are the wonderful. If you have actually read it, you are the best. If you left a review you are better than all the rest.

I honestly can’t say if I stand a chance of winning, but I will at least
make them take a moment to consider me, so help me achieve that goal!

Emergency Cat Help

thecatspit:

Hey guys! My name is Jesse, and I need help rehoming cats from a hoarding situation in Turlock, CA before I move out-of-state at the end of May 2016.

FUNDRAISER LINK

The cats are well-socialized and mostly healthy (there are some with age-related dental problems and some that have urinary tract issues, and because of the area they all have fleas). Most are spayed/neutered. They range in age from 6 months to 12 years old. Details and photos of individual cats can be found HERE, though some information is out-of-date.

Who is hoarding the cats?

An older woman. She can’t physically or financially care for them, but also hasn’t taken my advice about adopting them out via PetFinder or other sites.

Why can’t the local shelter or rescue organizations help?

Because the stray and feral cat problem here is so serious that none of them have space. Here are some things I’ve been told when calling around:

  • “We only pick up ferals and animals that are dying.” – Animal Control
  • “We euthanize all kittens under 4 weeks old because no one’s available to foster them.” – Animal Control
  • “We’re not taking cats that are black, brown, or gray because they’re not adoptable enough.” – a rescue
  • “We’ve adopted out less than a dozen cats in the last year.” – a rescue with cats on display in a major pet store

I also don’t have a car or local friends who can drive, so I’m very limited in terms of where I can look for help. The best I’ve been able to do is get most of the cats spayed/neutered. Unfortunately I’m low-income, and so even if I find places that have openings, surrendering cats is a problem because there’s a fee for that.

How can I help?

  • signal boost this post
  • contact me about adopting a cat
  • contact me about fostering a cat
  • donate money for travel costs or surrender fees in case I find rescues with openings

Opening Commissions

transmutable:

SKETCHES: $5
BASIC COLOR: $10
MORE THAN TWO CHARACTERS: +$5

Commissions are all done in traditional art with markers since it’s my strength, but I can do digital if that’s your preference since I have a relatively cheap tablet.

Examples of some of my work are here. Or in my “sean arts” tag, but I tend to post shitty sketches as well as things that I put a lot of effort into. The pictures in the link will the quality I promise to people who commission me. Reasoning for opening commissions is below if you want my sob story. My contact information if you would like a commission is heirofamalfoy@gmail.com, where we can discuss details and how to make payments; if you aren’t comfortable with e-mail, you can also direct message me on here or send me an ask.

I’m trying to raise at least $1,600, but if I hit my goal, I will definitely keep going since I need as much as I can get right now. I haven’t talked about it a lot on Tumblr, but I’m currently in a pretty bad place for work. I have a job, but currently I am working for an attorney who is emotionally abusive. I won’t go into all the details on here, but things are a mess. People have tried to report her in the past, but things are sketchy enough in this firm, and she knows the law well enough that she’s perfectly capable of covering her tracks. Nothing ever gets done. She never changes. She has fired people who have tried to call her out on her bullshit. She lets her boyfriend (who is on payroll despite being legally banned from the building for physically assaulting an employee) intimidate us. He handles our payroll and those who have pissed her off have had their times altered or lost money. I’m supposed to get 6 sick days a year, but have yet to get paid for the few I’ve taken this year simply because she has decided she hates me and I’m not even sure what I did to make it that way. She throws more and more work on my shoulders, claiming I look “bored” and talking about how lazy I am to my fellow employees on a regular basis, despite my running an entire department in the firm on my own and helping out on a regular occasion in two other departments to help them keep afloat because of how short staffed we are because people keep leaving.

Normally I would just quit and live on savings while job hunting, but my wife is pregnant, and our savings is going to go towards her being able to take time off after the baby is born in September since she doesn’t get paid maternity leave. I’ve tried just keeping pushing forward, but it’s taken a toll on both my mental and physical health at this point, and I just can’t do it for much longer. I’ve been applying to jobs like crazy for months, gotten a couple of interviews that just have yet to go anywhere for whatever reason, and many people can’t work around my 8-5 schedule to meet for interviews so I’m losing out on a lot of potential employment opportunities.

I am going to continue to look for work, but if I can do so AND quit this job, it will just make things so much easier, not to mention take a real weight off my shoulders. I need to be able to do this for my well being and I’m just not in a place where I can right now.

If you can’t afford to commission, that’s fine, but my follower count is pretty low, so reblogs would be just as appreciated. Please spread the word and help me get out of this shit job for the sake of myself and for my family, since they’ve been negatively impacted by all of this too in the long run.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate any help you can offer.
