Just $700 left to raise rent for December. Unfortunately the best way to do that is to post about it every 3-6 hours and keep the fundraising request moving. Sorry. Thank you for helping keep us and the cats housed. https://t.co/PXwNukUWEl

Every single thing in our lives has become consumed by trying to scrape together rent and live on a $0 income with a full-time term load. We are $1k short rent. We simply do not know what will happen after Dec 1. Please help us avoid homelessness. https://t.co/PXwNukVutT

It's the end of term in just 7 days and it's transparently obvious that the federal government cannot force Union to pay us money they already spent. Please help us stay housed through Jan as we try to figure out legal options to remain housed. https://t.co/PXwNukUWEl

Hello, I am not dead. People asking where I've been & what's going on: this is what has been going on. Aleksei and I have not yet been able to secure rent for December nor get released for a transfer to a new school. This entire situation is devastating. https://t.co/C2HTB1ICEz

It's pretty cold living in a house without central heating even though it's only in the 50F range overnight. I am supposed to make bread today, and my hands are just constantly clammy pins and needles. Though the gas stove is now my hearth I guess.

Wow I should not read anything on this website that is not the specific accounts of people who don't post elsewhere, not sure any % of twitter is good for me in my present limited capacities.

A gentle reminder that if you don't want to do anything "special" with your day off of work, you're allowed to call off plans, watch youtube compilations of your favorite TV show, and eat whatever is in your house. It doesn't have to have a deep reason. But it's okay if it does.

I should post an engagement bait content and sneak my rent fund into the thread, but I've kinda forgotten how to do that and I'm not resourced enough to post something that will get me lots of replies from people I don't know.

Trying to get more eyes on urgent crowdfunding for Dec rent. Still almost $800 short rent. TLDR: my school stole my & my husband's financial aid in July. Every $ counts. Grateful for your help. 💙.

Posting about this an annoying amount because I presume you haven't seen it yet unless the algorithm wants you to. We are not yet able to pay December rent and are struggling to get out shit together to do so. Pleas help if you can. Just under $900 to go.

This is a very short summary of what I read last night about how my student loans were spent illegally. https://t.co/lNzFr2So2s Please keep circulating. We need just under $900 to remain housing secure through the end of the year.

The U.S. Department of Education has terminated federal student aid to Cincinnati, Ohio-based Union Institute & University and fined the school $4.3 million, charging in a 14-page "emergency action"...

I read the Department of Ed report about what happened to my federal loans and all I can say is, wow, we are super fucked over. I can't begin to explain how scary it is to realize I may never see this term's financial aid.

Twitter is very broken huh? Tried to post this hours ago. I have an active account at Bluesky at this user name. That's also where Aleksei is. If you need me, DMs are no longer reliable, you can send me an email with your discord handle to have real time conversations.

Other shit like "oh my friends disappeared in a warzone" (yes, that one) and "I still don't have adequate pain care" (yes, still fighting insurance) and "oh the dissertations are about ready to be proposed" (yes in spite of everything) is just beyond me to talk about right now.

Eight months after the I-Team exposed money problems at Union Institute, the Walnut Hills school could be expelled from federal student aid programs.

I'm so tired of not knowing what to do. I'm so tired of knowing this can't go on and having no choices. This was supposed to be a coasting semester to get my feet back underneath me. I feel like I'll never get my feet under me ever again.
