I got one step closer to resolving our DMV issues today. The next steps cost more money though!

We need $60-300 for the immediate DMV matters (I cannot elaborate too much on it here for opsec).

We also need food money and repair money for the car ($20) and the bus's engine (depends).

We need a towing dolly to pull our car around ($400-2000)

Finally, if you know anyone with land we can park on for a while in eastern PA or NJ or NY state, please let us know.

Hey folks. The car insurance and loan vultures are circling again for their respective pounds of flesh. Please help me keep them at bay while I get ready for a month or two of training for my new job. It's $220 insurance, $280 car loan, $500 or so total just for those. I also have other expenses including food to cover and once again my accounts are well into the red.

Any amount spare helps, it all adds up.

Good news: I got a job! No more mutual aid needed!

Bad news: April Fool. Though I did get offered a job, it's going to be MONTHS before it reaches the point where I am paid and don't need #mutualaid.

So... can anyone spot me any amount from like $5 to $1000?
I have so many uses right now for such funds, chiefly relating to food and the further improvement of the #Vulpibus into something @Kuniti_shino and I can live, work and transform my vessel into a kitsune form in (and make freedom of form genetic tech for all)...

No that part's not an April Fool, I'm just fucking determined.

Gah, we're wearing out our drill bits trying to mount this water tank under the Vulpibus! We need better drillbits that can chew through 9mm thick steel chassis beams like they are plastic or wood.

We really need somewhere more out of the way to park our school bus conversion project in progress in NJ, PA or NY.

Somewhere that doesn't cost money. We'll happily help any hosts with whatever we can do part time.

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.

We had an emergency last night while cooking with our induction hob, when our battery box nearly caught fire as the interlink cables' connectors overheated and melted their insulation and burned into the tops of a couple of the batteries (not through to the inside though). I disconnected the batteries before the nasty smoke could turn to outright flames.

We finished our cooking on a camp fire.

We now have some new copper welding cable lugs on the 2AWG cables and power is back on.

We need some #Mutualaid to keep us out of overdraft trouble.

EDIT: goal MET IN ONE GO by one VERY generous donor!
Next goal coming up!

Our #roadsafety need for a #tyrechange on the #Vulpibus is getting critical. The #tyres the bus came with are from 2012, worn and developing cracks. They are #inflated to the 115psi they are supposed to have, but a #blowout is becoming a matter of when, not if. Since we would rather not end up stranded in a ditch, this is an ASAP #urgent call out for #mutualaid. It's gonna be about $1200 because at least the front 2 tyres have to be new. The back 4 can be used, though getting new is obviously better.

We need to build stability, a dollar a month at a time.

I am also now making a start on building my bed frame! Stud wall timber and wood from old pallets! Really deep countersinking!
Long chamfers!
Planing!
Sawing!
Drilling!
Screwdriving!
Interlocking slats!
Steps in the end of the bathroom wall!
Etcetera!

Thanks very much for all the help we've already received, and the patience you have shown us. We hope our progress is gratifying, even though it takes a while.

Let's get those #solarpanels wired in today, and meanwhile, let's dig us out of a locked overdraft once again! Can we do $500 today? #mutualaid is very essential right now, and heavily appreciated as we build our home, our workspace, our rescue and escape vehicle, our self sufficiency and more all in one.

You're awesome people and I've heard from you how sone of you are just giving back after years of needing aid yourselves. We'll be giving back and so much more with the Vulpibus complete and our gene editing tech built. I hope to do you all proud.

Today we have side #solar panel 2/10, 16/24 overall, mounted on the #Vulpibus. We also worked out (mentally at least) the design for the bedroom and bathroom wall. We bought some reflective strips for vehicular safety, 2 guage wire connectors, more bolts and screws and more drill and screwdriver bits (they break often when working on thick steel with unknown overlaps behind it) today. To get more done, we need some #fedihelp #mutualaid #funding to cover the cost of hinges, screws and wood, as well as getting much needed tyres fitted and covering numerous bills.

This week so far: $100/$2000

It's a new week and our #mutualaid target is $2000.
I am going to need it for:
#carloan $280
#creditcard bills $50
#tyres for the Vulpibus $1200
#insulation for the Vulpibus (ongoing bit by bit)
#food
#batteries for the #solar power setup $400 min.

There are more things I could list but it depends what pops up and when. Please only donate what you can spare. Lots of love!

Wise, ACH, IBAN, Zelle and more accepted, DM for how.

Today I
* stressed over a failed $51 payment and spent a while on hold trying to find out what to do about it (more #mutualaid would definitely help here)
* made more progress on the solar panel bumper (drilled holes in the wood pieces and fastened most of them together, except for the top side expansion piece that has to be cut lengthways and is taking much effort so I am cutting it a bit at a time),
* fixed my saw's (missing screw to hold on its handle) problem with a coach bolt and nut,
* made a start on chopping up the motor housing for the swing arm motor I removed from the front of the bus yesterday,
* dismantled a higgledy-piggledy ladder for its wood and screws,
* and enjoyed some nice sandwiches.

Working on another solar panel bumper made of wood from old pallets. It's raining really heavy outside so I'm working in what little space I have.

We're on the lookout for a place we can park the #Vulpibus for a few months in eastern PA or NJ, if anyone has a school bus sized parking spot (ON OR OFF ROAD) they can spare for that length of time WITHOUT IRKING THE ZONING OFFICERS, please let us know by DM ASAP. #MUTUALAID #homelessness #buslife #livinginabus #busconversion #project #WIP

What if I just built a bus to live out of and had a little walk up window for a traveling store like Beedle from #loz

Come, wary travelers, have a hot coffee and check my wares.

Yesterday I clip, strip and crimped two massive manual on-off switches to the batteries in my '06 F-450 retired Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV for short) (still deciding on a name)

This is to protect against a parasitic load I can't track. Now I don't have to pull the clamps off the terminals each time it sits

I also pumped up the tires, fired her up and ran her around the block twice

It was a very good day

(Do not rig-explain to me, tnx)
