 Posted about being trans on Threads and got over 300 hate comments, most of which I can't see to respond, delete, or block, because oddly Threads doesn't let you see most comments on your posts. 
 I need a cheap used car, I recently had mine repossessed. Anyone want to help? 
 Could y'all go follow me on TikTok? I'm trying to make a career of it. And yep I'm serious. I need 5000+ of you. My life is messed up and I need the TikTok money. Thanks everyone.

 Anyone willing to donate an M1 or M2 MacBook Air to me so I can continue editing photos. My 2015 MacBook Pro just isn't cutting it anymore, the battery doesn't charge anymore, the screen coating has worn off and it keeps freezing up. Thank you for your consideration. 
 This girl, my fiancée's twin sister, could really use the help. Insurance didn't cover everything and she still has ongoing medical expenses. She's still unable to work, and is living with her disabled Mom. This #GoFundMe campaign never caught on, even amongst family for some reason. He fathers attitude is that she's an adult and needs to take care of herself and hasn't done anything at all to help her.

 I guess I missed Post shutting down. It was never really my thing, but I tried. 
 Anyone feel like giving a girl that's been going through a difficult time a boost. It's been just over a year since my fiancée's twin sister was in a car crash that paralyzed her. She had a few initial donations, but only one since then. Sam has a lot of medical expenses she's been unable to pay and ongoing expenses related to her injury. She's been unable to work so and things have been strained. Please help me meet or exceed their initial fundraising goal! #GoFundMe

 Growing up we always had dogs, my parents always had dogs after I moved away. For the last 22 years my parents really got into Weimaraners, breading them, showing them, and field trials. At times they had up to 7 dogs in the house. Over the last 7 years the heard thinned out and in the last year the last 3 passed away. Blue was the last to go not too long ago, so on top of everything else my parents are facing I worry how they face the day to day without at least one dog. 
 I know I have a wallet set up but I can't tell if I can receive zaps or not. How can I tell? 
 Honestly I have no idea.

 I was never welcomed to Nostr, weird. 
 I've tried a few different Nostr apps and a few different wallets and settled on one wallet but now all the apps say I use a different wallet so where are Zaps going to go if I ever get any? 
 It's so hard finding people to follow here. I'm not finding discovery as easy as on other platforms. Any tips? 
 I bought 22 shares of FFIE and have regretted it ever since. 
 I need a new phone, the battery on my Pixel 5 won't hold a charge. 
 I keep feeling like I'm searching for something but I don't know what. Either I'm lost or I'm missing something. 
 I really fucking wish I had just one friend. Someone that had my back, someone to text, call, meet for coffee, stay up with and talk all night, hold me while I cried.
I've been that for so many. I'm always the strong one, the one there for others, when is it my turn? When do I get to be weak and sad and have someone be there for me like I've been there for so many others? 
 Today was one of the worst days of my life. I'm devastated. I will not be elaborating, but my life will be changing drastically and not in a good way. 
 How do #GoFundMe campaigns fair on Nostr?  
 I'd like to be out of debt please. Giving up my car is demoralizing, but it's the only thing I can do right now. Bought it right after I bought my house and now I don't have either. 
 I've felt less and less myself the longer I've been off HRT and lately I've been feeling completely lost. 
 I didn't make the GoFundMe  the family did, and they chose to share what they did. Sorry there isn't pictures of her after the accident all banged up. She still needs help. She can't go to follow up appointments because her doctor won't see her after insurance cut off covering her.  People keep saying medical GoFundMe campaigns get funded so easily, not this one apparently. nostr:note15n66wgsue802l9259l6usy89d9w7cgzyv55f8tahvpn25rhfgm9sggy65y

 Love how people on TikTok say they are making a passive income being paid for posting on Nostr. Where is my passive income? 
 I can't get any Nostr apps to sent me notifications. Is that expected behavior?

 Help me buy a house for my fiancée, she deserves it. 
 Been on here for months and still find Nostr difficult to figure out. 
 I see the chaos, not so much the beauty. 
 probably works as designed but I don't understand  
 I often lay in bed at night, like right now, thinking about people from my past. People that played larger parts and bit parts in my life but obviously left an impact on me because I'm thinking of them now. But here's the thing I also wonder how often has someone or has anyone done this thinking about me. Have I left any impact on anyone in the last 50 years that they lay in bed thinking about me sometimes? 
 Ok, with a prompt pushing me to think about this, I'd like to own/co-own a record store coffee shop with a small stage for intimate live music, poetry readings, sharing of passions. And maybe a multi use space for art displays, or classes, or co-working. A space and business that helps foster community and is a true third place. 
 Definitely need new brakes on my car. Definitely don't have the money. Definitely need help. 

Here I am asking for mutual aid again before I can't drive my car.

 Trying to buy drugs when you just posted about being two months behind on your car payments, and ... 
 Realizing I can't do something isn't saying I was trying to do something. I can't even go to a doctor right now let alone anything else.  
 I'm behind two months on car payments. Anyone want to help me catch up? 
 I'd like to be a more feminine trans woman, but finding feminine clothing that fits me is near impossible. This is my curse, doomed to be a fem lesbian trapped as a masc presenting lesbian. 
 I feel like my whole identity has become taking care of my fiancée's every need. 
 I drove my fiancée to her boyfriend's place and waited in the car while she dropped off cookies and he ate her out. How was your night? 
 Dropping off my fiancée at her boyfriend's place tonight. I wish I had something to do or someone to do me. 
 Trying to go Adobe free. I was a Creative Cloud subscriber for years, but Adobe didn't give me the cheaper option when going to quit this time so I actually quit. I've used Lightroom to edit photos for years and now I don't know what I'm going to use to edit and keep track of all my photos. #photography  
 My fiancée is a freak and I can't get enough of it. 
 We resigned our lease for another year at a $90 increase. That's a $400 increase over the last three years. I assure you there was no $400 a month wage increase in the same timeframe we've just had to do with less. There are lots of apartments currently available or being built in our area but most of the units are "affordable" and we don't qualify. The whole situation is depressing. 
 I really can't figure out how to actually use this to find people to talk to. I've been here and I'm trying but nothing, nada, zilch. 
 I'd like to collect enough Zaps to pay off my debt and buy my fiancée a house.  https://media3.giphy.com/media/bKnEnd65zqxfq/giphy.gif 
 I miss Plebstr 
 I'm seeing to many TikTok videos of people saying they joined Nostr and instantly started making loads of money just for posting and it started immediately. Lies? Because I've been here for months and haven't made anything. #zaps  
 I can confidently say that Uma Thurman and her youngest daughter shared a plate of Panda Express this morning. 
 Why though does Freefrom barely ever work for me anymore? 
 Taking a look around but liking Openvibe so far. 
 I'm pretty sure I broke my zaps 
 This #gofundme is for my Fiancée's twin sister who was paralyzed in a car crash a year ago. It's been quite the struggle for her mentally, physically, and financially. Her GoFundMe never really took off and she could still really use the help. Thanks for caring, sharing, and possibly donating.

 I don't even know where it would go if someone zapped me, one of three places or nowhere are all equally likely. 
 I guess this is working now. 
 Still in need of donations for my Fiancée's sister. She was paralyzed in a car accident last year and is really struggling because of it. Financially it's been a huge hit, she hasn't been able to work, her surgeon won't see her anymore because insurance didn't cover everything and she owes a lot as well as ongoing need of medical supplies. #gofundme #mutualaid

 ok who should I follow, it's boring here. 
 “Great post 👍” 
 Is this a Thread? 
 Looks like the Freefrom app doesn't work anymore  
 Venmo stole money from me and suspended my account. Confirmed with them today they are just keeping my money. Only reason given is security reasons, no explanation at all. 
 Really wish this didn't happen because I really need that money.

 Changed my lightning address, hope I did it right.  
 Just got my Venmo account suspended after trying to transfer money to my bank account, something I've done hundreds of not thousands of times. I got an email saying it was suspended for suspicious activity. I have no idea if I'm going to get that money or if it's just disappeared. I need that money

 I'm being sued by a collection agency. The joys of being poor and broke and unemployed. I'm claiming bankruptcy anyway, but damn this sucks. 
 Please, someone, anyone, give me an alternative, I don't want to work at Tesla. I have one interview left and will probably get the job. I want the job because it's a job and I've been out of work for so long, but I don't want to work at Tesla. 
 Managed to land a job interview at Tesla. It's a job, not an endorsement. 
 I wish I had money to buy my girlfriend a Christmas present. 
 It's been 6 years since I had a Christmas present  
 Are my Zaps working? I need a Bitcoin or a dozen. For science. 
 I need Bitcoin to buy a house. Please donate. 
 How do I know if my Zaps work or not? 
 I think I may have setup two wallets, is that possible? And will they conflict? it's so confusing. 
 This is all confusing as hell 
 Since I can't use Wallet of Satoshi anymore I don't know if I've set things up right to receive Zaps using another wallet. 
 I'm worse than poor 
 Search and onboarding are our two biggest hurdles and areas that need some of the most improvemen... 
 I still don't know how this works. And nostr seems to just be all people talking about nostr 
 If anyone wanted to Zap me enough to get a new used car I wouldn't complain. 
 So from my understanding I don't have enough Sats to setup another wallet or self custodial wallet because you need a lot of Sats to do that. It's so confusing. Mutiny needs over 100,000 just to set up. WTF 

nostr:note14fx5j004w3ucwlrjjjprl8wz9uc2wkh6y4epnrnqw3398svudcmsmgmuwp  
 Doesn't work on my phone. 
 I guess I have to get rid of Wallet of Satoshi. I hope this new one works. Send me enough Zaps to pay my rent and we'll find out. Please.

 The thing most talked about on Nostr? Nostr. 
 I'm constantly glad I don't have a gallbladder any longer. Best organ removal ever. 
 Zaps represent the only fundamentally new innovation in social media.

Everything else is a distr...
