trying hard not to think about the very big bad things that might be ahead, in relation to my brother, but Im trying hard not to think about it right now

currently trying to write back to an email that makes my heart hurt... and yelling at the sky that I'm getting charged an extra $5 to buy more "stamps" so I can reply

also lmao my brother let me know that he has to pay for a subscription to even be able to access the "store" on his tablet, so he can buy apps and things and even have access to the things that he has already bought

(need us to send anything more your way? )

gfdhjghkj I don't want it to seem like I'm making this plurk to ask for money

s'awright! o7

I'm just so frustrated with the fact that I'm finally getting to connect with my borther for pretty much the first time in our lives, but I'm going broke over it

but yeah, hhhhhh about subscriptions. :<
's not fair for y'all.

yesterday I was scrambling to put more minutes on my inmate phone card while I was in the middle of talking to him

there was $18 on there and I knew I was going to chew through that real fast lmao

everyone is just so frustrated, and we're trying to not complain about it to my brother because him feeling like a burden was a huge part of his depression in the first place

he found out that my retired father had to go out and get a part-time night shift job, and that caused him to sink for a bit

he's signed up for counseling, but one session was canceled because of the facility getting locked down because of violence outside the courthouse, the next one was canceled because of some medical emergency with his counselor, and the next one was canceled because they FORGOT TO PUT HIM ON THE LIST

even though he submitted a request and got the message back that it was accepted

so it has been like a month since he's seen his counselor

just aaaaaagh

omg that emote

I love it. XD
It works well on so many occasions!

what is it from??

gravity falls!

omg that must have been from an episode I missed

or it's a casualty from my bad memory

uggh I just found my note of how he's so sad that he saves up to buy these apps on his tablet that look like they're going to be fun... and finds out that they're just reskinned card games, or money grabs where they just used good-looking assets to build an app that isn't even really a game

after having paid his stupid subscription fee to even be able to look at the store

paid $7 for a game that advertised itself as a driving simulator where you drive around the city hitting zombies for points... but it turns out that it's on a set track where you can only steer left and right, the zombies are all just stationary objects, and there's only one level. it never ends.

you just go around and around, hitting models of zombies that just stand there forever. for no challenge or end point. it's just an infinite loop.

$7!!

oh good so the shitty shilling mobile games do hits prisons as well

for sure. and for way more than they would normally charge, and I don't think they have the option of trying to get a refund

:|

Ugh. That's so infuriating and a difficulty none of you need in your lives

Ugggggh the prison system is really just.... so many levels of bullshit
