Mildly touchy recent topic

Fuckkk, Spud was being forced to withdraw cold turkey due to not being able to afford nicotine therapy and barely having money for food.

@StudChud@aussie.zone When you see this if you can get to one of the places you can get some food for Mickey https://secondchanceanimalrescue.com.au/resources/outreach-program/scar-pet-food-pantry/

There are food banks around that might have relaxed eligibility

And there might be bulk billed consults or reduced cost/free nicotine therapy

Ps. Sorry if this is none of my business

You're free to speak about it, you can also disagree if you feel differently about anything.

I thought she was working and studying too?

[–] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

I remember her saying she doesn't have a job right now. I hope she is doing okay

Probably. Ugh I might be sticking my nose in.

I hope both are okay
