We were paid 19/h doing barista work working 30-39 hours (never allowed to hit 40 because they would have to give us more rights blah blah stuff) had to live in a tiny illegal room for rent and was barely surviving. After we saved up a little bit of money we moved into a van and now we’re in EU.

Mind you, not flashily, not rich, not even making it. Had to get so much help friends and family and especially our significant other just to get here by the skin of our teeth and now that we’re here we’re struggling to even stay due to visa issues. So fucn scared to go back we literally cry almost nightly every day our last chance to stay here slips away only because we just need 1500€ euro more… hhh when will this stress end?

Because our ssn was stolen many of times, our credit score was low even after we fought off all the charges and couldn’t get an apartment without a garentour. Moved to Spain and never needed a garentour or social check in basic necessities, hell we could go for a loan and the only thing judged is our reasoning. Slowly waiting for permanent residency and citizenship :)

We’re a 1, we can see, smell taste and even move the apple around along with an entire environment around it.

What we can’t do very well is thinking with words, though that has slowly been changing the past few years where we can think a little bit with words, however it’s mostly thoughts as emotions, objects and feelings of action.

Instead of thinking “I need to walk to the kitchen for water” we just think of ourselves physically getting up and getting the water with the sense of urgency and need. BuT when speaking/writing the way we do that is by remembering the visual words and hope they’re spelled out physically and what emotions/visuals connect with. Ie a physical apple in our mind have connections to the physical feelings of saying “Apple” [c.Eng], “manzana” [c.Esp], “りんご” [c.Jp] then each of those would have connections to spellings, grammatical connections, factoids, etc kinda like a language web.

But yeah anywho idk if anyone else thinks like that but it makes learning different languages hard, having to learn Spanish rn is like a full time job and after this we’re learning German, Dutch and then some other languages for the challenge/fun.

Hi, we use accessible features (os wide captions for VCs and videos without CC to help with hearing issues/audio processing disability) and haven’t had issues with that. Tho from what we’ve heard, screen readers are trash no matter what OS you use. :P Haven’t had much of an issue otherwise.

Nice, now we just gotta build it 😎 lol Fr tho this project is really cool and would be super fun to work on once we have money to do so

Been wanting to do something similar in a small pelican case for my friend and us. Couldn’t figure out what to do for phone signal though which stumped us.

Last lived there in 2019, can confirm it was still eerie quiet and car centric as always 5 years ago aswell

 

Page 1 — “Always drew on paper only, our friend gave me inspiration on drawing in MS Paint and Lily mentioned I should try making a comic like her. I dont know how though ^^;”

This comic is written and drawn by one of our headmates, Jack, whom is very anti-social and nonverbal. Wanted to share his comic (got permission) because he heard our friends excitedly love his comics and thought some people would love to see them too. If y'all got any comments we’ll pass it along to him! :> -Basil/Olive
