WELP, not only have I not worked since March 13 I also get to be the test case on how my family will be celebrating birthdays while sheltering in place (woohoo for being the first one in my fam to have a COVID quarantine era birthday [-_-]) and I WON’T be able to go see Hamilton with my sister for my birthday as planned (she got me tickets for the day after my bday for xmas) here’s: 

RAQUEL’S LOVE LANGUAGE IS GIFTS PLEASE HELP MAKE HER BIRTHDAY ON MAY 4TH LESS SHITTY WHILE SHE’S UNEMPLOYED AND SHELTERING-IN-PLACE MASTER LIST:

Broke and unemployed like me? No problem! 

  • Like West Wing fanfiction? Read and review any of my fics if one of them tickles your fancy! (I also have 1 finished Downton Abbey, 1 finished and 1 WIP PotC fics)
    • I had a friend that did this for my birthday last year and it made my whole damn week ^_^
  • or drop by my ask box and give me movie/TV/book/music recs! don’t worry about unintentionally recommending something I’ve already seen/read/heard, if that happens just consider your rec a conversation starter!

NOT broke or unemployed etc.? Consider any of the following:

  • Just want to donate so that I can pay some bills? Here’s my Venmo, my CashApp, and PayPal:
    • Venmo: @ lemonlyman
    • CashApp $InfantaRaquel
    • PayPal
  • here’s my Amazon wishlist
  • Buy yourself or your friends/fam a little something something from my RedBubble shop
  • Want to get me something but want to support small businesses and not Amazon? If we’ve been mutuals for a long time you can just ask me for my address and order something for me if not you can Venmo me (or use the other previously linked apps) and tell me where you want me to order from with what you sent (a small business in your area or mine) and if there’s something specific you wanted to get me or if you just want me to pick whatever.
  • Get me a ticket to stream from the Frida Cinema, a local non-profit arthouse cinema that I love and used to visit whenever I could and needs financial support that I can’t give it rn. Kino Marquee has been streaming films for $12 and the money goes to the COVID impacted art house cinema that’s “screening” it, in this case the Frida. To do this you can send me the $12 via PayPal/CashApp/Venmo with a note saying that it’s for the Frida and then I’ll pick a film to stream from the Frida’s selection ^_^
  • Make a donation to a non-profit in my name! Here are some to choose from:
    • HIAS - the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. HIAS has been around for over 130 years and started out by helping Jewish refugees, now they help refugees from all sorts of backgrounds around the world. Currently refugees are particularly vulnerable due to the pandemic and HIAS has been helping by advocating for the rights of immigrants/refugees and they’ve been trying to find ways to continue to provide aid safely.
    • Any trustworthy non-profit that’s aiding Indigenous communities affected by COVID-19
    • Any trustworthy non-profit that is providing food assistance for those impacted by COVID shelter-in-place orders
      • with HIAS if we’ve been mutuals for a while you can ask for my email (if you’re donating on someone’s behalf/in honor of someone HIAS sends a thing via email to the honoree) or with all three of those options you can just drop by my ask box and say “hey, I chose to donate to this org!”, it’ll 10/10 make my day just to know that I prompted someone to help if they are able to do so financially 

Love you all and stay safe, bbs!
