“average Person Eats 3 Spiders A Year” Factoid Actualy Just Statistical Error. Average Person Eats

Hello everyone. I'm absolutely terrified to open up about this, but I am having surgery on my thyroid to remove a goiter that has become very large / given me problems eating and breathing in general. My ocd is going crazy and catastrophizing;, I have been neglecting my health for five years until I experienced some symptoms that terrified me. My dr. Advised me that I will need two types of surgeons, one an ENT and one a thoracic surgeon. I am going to make a formal fundraiser very soon, but I was informed by my Dr. That the overall cost of this surgery (plus recovery) will be around 700,000 pesos- almost 13,000 usd. That is. My wages of three whole years. I am from the global south, in the philippines, and my wages are far smaller compared to my peers in the global north. My insurance is trying to cover around 40,000-80,000 pesos, I am unsure yet. Right now, I am unable to work all three of my jobs because I needed to do a ton of tests and resting, my new meds making me extremely drowsy as I was also diagnosed with type II diabetes and hypertension (?). I still am the only person in my family who can work- my mother is completely unable to move independently due to nerve damage from sepsis, she is legally blind and a full time wheelchair user. my father is very very immunocompromised due to heart disease and kidney failure, and my younger sister is autistic, with a low frustration threshold. Since Early April, I have had no income as I was in and out of the hospital; thanks to everyone's generous donations for my teeth that I am now allocating for this surgery instead, insurance, and my lovely friend Mango's large donation, I have been able to eat well, and cover about 12%-15% of my upcoming surgery's fund. Am trying to build up more breathing room for my gofundme, as it is common practice for philippine hospitals to prevent patients from leaving without having paid in full. I am humbly begging for everyone to please help me, Because I have not been working and will be unable to work for a couple of weeks. this is the most terrifying thing I have ever gone through, and I have been ignoring it for the past 5 years ♡ if you are blessed with disposable income and a generous heart, please send it my way! It means the whole world to me.

Kid Ruggie to try some new brushes

[Alt under the cut]

After being on the street, a little Ruggie returns home and is blessed with some homemade doughnuts/donuts :)

These last few weeks I haven't been feeling well, my motor activities have been affected again and I can’t see the colors well and everything in general, I don’t think it's the best drawing to present but really wanted to draw this baby, I wanted it to be in my everyday baby's section, I thought of Ruggie with this reference

i made a list while i was hiking apparently

Hey yall, i'm currently very broke and do not have enough money to pay my bills (around $120) this month alongside our food (our rice cooker also broke) so i'm adding more slots to my commission. Though please check my work queue before you order and please understand that it will take a while for me to do them. My fulltime job doesnt pay me enough to cover the costs...

Pls help me spread this! I will update if i have the funds I need, which should be $300!
