Shit, is she getting paid? How do I sign up?

I browse by subscribed, so I don't see a lot of stuff. But off the top of my head? Stamets, King, Mickey7, probably others I don't recall.

Pretty sure OP switched instances some time back if you're wondering why you see her stuff.

If I was getting paid I wouldn't have needed to beg for money a few weeks ago just to try and remain homeless. If I was getting paid I wouldn't be so worried about getting holiday gifts for my friends or myself. Getting paid... fuckin' lol

It's kinda funny to be honest. So many people get so worked up the second that they start seeing someone post because, to them, they cannot fathom someone posting that much to social media without an actual incentive whether that be monetary or anything else.

Imagine some people just wanting to engage with folks and see the platform grow. Or making a community to suit their niche interests for funzies. Or suffer from crippling emotional regulation disorders and loneliness, seeking to make a connection, any connection, because likes are an opiate when the alternative is silence.
