Thank you as ever.

3 days to get the rest of rent, I am at 930/1700, my roommate is in the hospital to try and get ahead of potential sepsis, I don't have backup plans: if I miss rent it could be homelessness again.

Still zeroed out and have 5 days to find 1700 for rent. I have other needs too but rent is immediately urgent

0/1700 rent, anything extra will go to food, medication, laundry, ex's car if we get past survival

As a trans person, whenever you go in public you constantly feel the wraith of becoming the subject of national outrage hanging over your shoulder, just for existing visibly.

I got very ill just after I made rent and it took until just now (the day I am properly out of food and left over money) to recover.

0/1700 rent, 0/400 ex's car, 0/100 me eating TODAY I have nothing left I can make this is not a drill.

American speakers are blissfully unaware, but UK speakers and etymologists often instinctively discover the original roots of "burgle" (sometimes just as an accidental joke), because when we break it down we know the word as

hamb + urgler (hamburgler)

and not

hamb + burgler (hambburgler?)

06.02.2026 16:42 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Their solution, as it often happened, was to add another letter, and so that produced the word "burgle" in modern English

06.02.2026 16:42 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Later during the Norman invasion, the French and Flemish got confused by the word "urgle" and its similarly to the French word "urge" since having urges does not mean you are going to urgle something.

06.02.2026 16:42 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Also related to urger is a derivative verb "urgl" in Middle English, which then became "urgle", meaning "to snatch; to take away"

Thus we get the word "hamburgler" as a name for someone who urgles hambs

A painted protest sign with a black background and white text that says "How many atrocities has ICE committed?"

The word 'committed' is in red, and there is red paint smeared across the sign, evoking the bloody (and often not bloody) violence of ICE's actions

As always, thank you for the thread.

No hours at work this month it seems (okay, no, I get 3), so I am fully reliant on others.

1200/1700 and it will probably go down tomorrow without grocery help. Still also need 400 for my ex, plus laundry, transit, etc...

Feeling better but had to get groceries after ordering in for a couple days, so it's ugly. 250/1700 rent, usual 400 and 600 to cover ASAP too, and transit to get my coats repaired. Rent deadline is Feb 1, roommate (600) now has a deadline (Jan 17th).
