to sum up my current situation: the current administration changed the hourly requirements for EBT/Snap food assistance, which has resulted in our account being canceled and having to reapply. in the event we get rejected, this effectively cuts our food budget to nil.

to that end, I'm currently planning for possible eventualities as a result of this. we'll need to start pulling in more money, and that might necessitate me, Dai, or both of us, getting 'day jobs' instead of our current situation.

I'm also looking into other self-employment options, including possibly becoming a full-time streamer or restarting my youtube channel with a patreon or what have you.

it's all very uncertain right now, so I ask patience while I figure out how I'm going to survive.

@hystericempress It's disorderly as hell and full of chaff, but I do also have a very very very messy unsorted file of online job leads tucked away in Evernote. It's a last resort, but it's there if you need it.
