paypal is unstuck · 10:46pm Feb 22nd, 2021
we are unsure how to respond.
for one, we're aghast that an actual human being somewhere in a paypal office took enough pity on us to actually do something. we're incredibly overwhelmed at the response and generosity of people that were stuck in limbo so long--even more so at the people who put in the insane amount of additional effort to jump through hoops required for not using the monolith that is paypal. even more so to the people who have told us to hang in there, on the off chance that things might actually get better some day.
now we don't know what to do. we are very scared and we don't want to waste any of the money people donated to us.
so we're going to hunker down for a while and freak out. we're going to get our pc repaired, if possible, for as cheap as we can. we're going to refund anyone who sent us a request, and post further updates as warranted with regards to the status of our pc.
presently we still do not have a bed or any furniture. our shoes are from five years ago and our clothes are from ten. but we would like to make sure every step of the way we are not doing something stupid. it turns out writing about ponos and fixating on our own misery are some of our only talents.
our ko-fi still exists, but i will not link it here on the off chance that another display of overwhelming generosity somehow implodes the internet again. i think there is probably a link somewhere. or you can message us directly. or go help someone else in need because we already got a lot of help and now we can actually use some of it.
will write more when we are done freaking out. currently still freaking out~
Huh. Seems that they were only freaked out about the number and/or size of the donations, as opposed to somebody snitching on you. Still one of the slower turnarounds.
Very glad things are turning around for you. Please keep us updated.
I'm very happy to hear that.
Woohoo!
I've joined your Patreon at the $1.50 tier. I'm glad things are getting better :)
I am so happy to hear that
That is great news!
Ah~ Panic when it goes well, panic when it goes wrong, I feel bittersweet joy for you.
Take care of yourself please.
Sometimes you have to panic before you can process.
That's a relief! I would've thought that they'd just sit on the money like Smaug on a golden hobbit. As odd as it sounds, I'm glad that you're freaking out about something good happening for a change.
