Sometimes people tell us to "get a job" as if it's that simple.

There are multitudinous good reasons why we:
1. Consider our work for Vulpine Labs and the local community more important than any run of the mill "job".
2. Cannot seriously be expected to attain traditional employment.
3. Shun traditional models of pay in favour of Mutual Aid.

And we won't let capitalism grind us down.

Today, Atha:
Reset the mouse traps in the bus
Cleared snow off the bus and car (altitude does not care for your "seasons", mere mortals)
Got a new phone from a good friend
Set up an LELink LeafSpy OBD2 device to help diagnose and fix the car
Did some reading at the library to get back in the mood for learning Python

And Inara:
Did trans HRT injections
Did some cleaning and tidying
Took the car to do a slow charge session
Did some phone setup
Will likely cook food for us and a homeless friend, and do some VR.

If you want to fling us some currency to keep the mardy old system at bay and fill up the bus's thirsty diesel tank, feel free to send to

The horrors persist, but so do we.

Someone who lives in a makeshift forest shelter wants to join us in the bus soon.

The Vulpibus now has an air conditioning unit fitted. We have installed a longer 4G antenna.
We almost had somewhere to go and park a while, but the landowner backed out. Again. And the convoy we are trying to form is moving along.

So the bus is still in need of a diesel refueling, and the current prices make that a matter of about $400. Links below.

We would really love to convert this bus to an EV but that is going to need a much more generous level of help than most folks here can provide.

There are also many debts to deal with, including car loan and insurance, and bureaucratic needs that have fees to pay. Capitalism is ruthless the most when it is legally enforced and you still don't have the means.

If you want to help out with any specific thing, please let us know. Otherwise donations are put to the most pressing need.

Tonight @Kuniti_shino needs to raise $20-$30 to cover EV charging so mizu can go get the SNAP/EBT card from an annoyingly distant county office (counties in this area are pooling services in adjacent counties sometimes).
The Vulpibus also needs fuel, around $180 worth.
The most recent money went to groceries, props for the rest of the solar panels, electronics parts cleaner fluid for the bus engine connections and a sillcock key for ease of water access in towns and cities.

Please send funds to:
PAYPAL https://paypal.me/inaraclocks
or KO-FI https://ko-fi.com/inamruzui as these put the money in the right place for use with EVGo and connected charging networks like Chargepoint.
If you want to donate via other means, please ask, we do have other options.

We have now banded together with other vehicle dwellers to begin to construct our first convoy. It's happening, with your help!

#MUTUALAID $0/450 #URGENT #EMERGENCYMUTUALAID #URGENTMUTUALAID #PASTDUE

Help a #trans #nonbinary #pansexual #salmacian #otherkin #kitsune to deal with life in this bullshit society a little longer.
Athamanatha is struggling to cover past-due #urgent car loan, credit card, car insurance and overdraft payments. These debts need to be caught up with to reduce the burden of fees and make it possible to afford food and #vulpibus fuel.

Please help hir to get on top of the problem! It is hard to think properly when under constant stress and fear of losing your #schoolie #skoolie vehicle which is also your home and/or losing your only runabout car to something as banal and bullshit as debt collectors or the cops spotting a lapse in insurance.

$450 would be a great start to take care of some of the immediate needs. Can we raise that today?

Hey @fedihelp and other #mutualaid beans, we (@Kuniti_shino & me) are in need of #fedihelp to cover our bills!

Since we became basically #homeless and living in an unready #skoolie project which is stuck in #DMVhell (anyone who works in the DMV, especially NJ or PA, please be in touch) we've been practically #unemployable on top of already having very eclectic CVs/resumés which algorithms and AIs hate.

We're doing all we can to make #Vulpibus #busconversion more complete for our #basicneeds & for @vulpinelabs for gene editing sys design & helping other #trans, #lgbtq #queer etc folks by sharing resources, providing a mobile rescue/safe space.

We have a small #EV for runabout which we got on finance before we lost jobs & apartment. Now every month we have car loan and insurance to pay. Vulpibus is paid off but its insurance is another matter.

Food & hardware keep putting us in the red.

Any help very appreciated.

The Unemployable Ninja

A in the modern world struggles to find his place, leading to a darkly humorous and violent quest for purpose in a society that doesn't need him. When ancient skills clash with modern jobs, chaos ensues. 🥷💥

*whelp* I guess this is what I get for getting my hopes up about that automotive locksmith job. I got passed over, after 3 interviews and a ride along. This was the closest I got to getting a job in a year now, it's hard to keep trying when this just keeps happening.

This was for the automotive locksmith job that I got fantastic advice from @deviantollam, that helped me get to the final stage of the process, but couldn't get me past that.

I'm just running out of energy to keep trying in my job search. Shit, I can't even get a interview at a local fucking grocery store, let alone trying to go back to Best Buy where I was previously. Hell, the temp/staffing agencies can't even place me. We need another income, and I just don't know what to do anymore.

I'm almost certain a part of my feeling unemployable is due to being trans, in the social climate that is Oklahoma, and the politicization of my existence, but like I just can't just say that's the only hurdle. There is obviously something else wrong with me or what I'm doing, I just don't even know what else at this point.

Just feeling so defeated. I need something to come through for me.

All well, Happy Pride 2024 to me.
