Topic: summary of my life and future plans for this account:
If anyone in the community may have it in their golden hearts to help a pokegirl losing her home at nearly 40 because of a landlord who discriminated against me because of my disabilities, my donation tags for both Venmo and cashapp are “meuwmeuwlady.”
Thought I had been put through far more than beyond enough trauma and suffering already in life, but what is happening now is another of the biggest yet.
If anyone has interest in anything below, I always match to lowest fair price at buy it now. Always have. So please don’t intentionally low ball when I already at my lowest suffering point already. We just trying to afford storage and gas now after already having to throw so much of the home out completely. Only family I have is my mom, but she allows her husband to abuse me in her home, so I have nowhere to go until a new hud space opens up which could take months/ years.
As for plans for this account: I always wanted it to be an account to do giveaways for. That is what makes me most happy in life, online and out and about. This past year has been such a source of exacerbated abuse and trauma that I couldn’t keep up. Furthermore I had seen a few threads that made me further reflect on the purpose of this account, which purpose I never wanted to be for strictly following and immediately unfollowing when one doesn’t win my giveaway. It was about wanting/ building genuine connection and meeting people you enjoy talking to more than once.
Along the way there was a lot of unexpected bullying in the first 2 years of this account, which I definitely feel affected that goal. Again I never cared about follower counts, especially if this account had only 100 people doing so, I would even moreso feel that more fortunate of getting to chat with a small amount of individuals every so much more often🥰💖
So in ending, I’ve got the most I’ve ever had on my plate in life plus all to do with this account, and everything else I’m enduring right now. I don’t feel my life is fulfilling without getting to do for others, which is honestly psychologically challenging me right now even if just that I won’t be able to get to pick up meals for people in my building that I’ve always enjoyed getting to do so for because of all mentioned at the beginning of this post.
Anyway, thank you for reading as you’ve most appreciatively taken your time to read and care about my thoughts/ situation/ and or considered donating, or not, either way💖
Below is all for sale we still trying to sell asap to help us toward where we going as soon as we can figure it out.✨🌈🙇🏻♀️🙏🏼💖
Please RT if you either know anyone possibly interested in any slabs below, or if someone either could be, or use a friend equally, a few kind words, anything. My heart is infinite in caring, as much as I can, even in this worst of times, as best I can.💖💖

Alright guys here we go… I never wanted to make this public, but after attempting to resolve this privately, I feel the need to share my experience.
I hit a ~$15–20K Pirate Crew Luffy card in a rip & ship break. I paid nearly $200 for overnight shipping + insurance. What happened next is incredibly disappointing….🧵
The card was shipped with bulk cards pressed against it in a bubble mailer rather than being individually secured in a box.
It arrived with a significant crease/damage that materially impacted its value. Fortunately, I was able to document the card and packaging with photos/video.
The seller has acknowledged that the damage occurred in transit and directed me toward an insurance claim.
However, they have also maintained that their website policy makes them not responsible for cards damaged in transit.
My issue isn't that something went wrong during shipping. I understand that shipping carries inherent risk.
That's precisely why I paid nearly $200 for expedited shipping/handling and insurance.
My issue is the level of protection used for a card worth five figures.
I was incredibly excited to receive this card and decide whether to keep it, sell it, or potentially grade it. That decision was taken away from me because the card arrived damaged.
What's been most frustrating is not just the financial loss, but the difficulty I've had getting the seller to meaningfully acknowledge the circumstances and work toward a more immediate resolution.
I want to be very clear: this is not about attacking anyone personally. I have genuine appreciation for the fact that they pulled the card for me, and I would have preferred to resolve everything privately.
But I also believe buyers deserve to know how situations like this are handled when something goes wrong.
I have the original photos/video, the packaging documentation, and the complete message history. I'm sharing this so people can see the facts and make their own judgment.
I still hope this can ultimately be resolved fairly. I don't want a public fight—I want accountability and a reasonable resolution.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Been a while since I’ve found a good collection but going to go pick these up tomorrow!! Hopefully it goes well!
