As an alternative for a #transcrowdfund, feel free to invest a little in this mini-EP I've constructed to promote the development of a game I'm composing for:
https://headachecentral.bandcamp.com/album/songs-of-mortis
Mortis Chronicles is a game I've been hired for a while back, but since the budget's stuck in Russia and probably will never come I could use alternative means of support.
Since I'm still home and might be for a while, I could really use a #transcrowdfund from those generous enough.
Burned out and deeply tired from everything that's been going on.

This issue has been fixed thanks to a very helpful friend who works at bandcamp and was able to escalate the issue. It turns out that one of my songs was tagged with a thing that, out of context, flagged my account as questionable, and I had no way of knowing this or being warned that it’d happen.
“Content moderation gone wrong.” They’re going to figure out how to make it up to me and also hopefully this leads to a process change.
Basically I had a song that was tagged as “alt-right” because it was critical of Trump and his followers. This led to my entire account being tagged as “alt-right” and therefore delisted as being a nazi.
Which is REALLY FUCKING IRONIC on many axes.
Since when do alt-right people self-describe as that, anyway?
This is why content moderation needs to be done by humans, not by algorithms, and why those moderation decisions need to be validated and continuously verified.
Don’t destroy someone’s livelihood because you think you’re doing the right thing without making sure!
Since I'm turning 30 years old on the 23rd of September, you're all free to donate so I can get some nice things for then.

musicians have all the right ideas:
- cables and connectors are all big and chonky
- things are built to last more then like 5 years at most
- innovation is actually cool and interesting new features for stuff instead of just cramming as many processors and microphones into something as you can justify so it can spy on you more
- if something is popular they keep making it exactly the same for decades and decades

Today, I found Valerie's voice again within me. She appeared to have integrated into me for support and comfort.
I don't blame her, she already lost a prodigal son in law in May, now she has to lose a prodigal daughter the same way 2 months later.
While we all know that leaving them behind is for the best, it certainly doesn't feel that way, and it won't for a long time.

For Pride/Wrath month, I did a commission for @AliceGrimaude as a giantess multi, with Helel and myself as guest heads on her shoulders, and Chelsea as a face on her crotch sporting a massive cocktongue with its own cocktongue. Sitting on a throne of skulls, on a mountain of blood.
re: Why gatekeeping is abusive
I would not have been able to come to terms with being non-binary, if such an inclusive space had not been afforded to me. In fact, if I had remained in truscum spaces, like I used to be in 2-3 years ago, I would have never even considered being nonbinary.
Talking to nonbinary folks, who have both figured out their gender or are still exploring were what helped me realize my own nonbinary identity.
So yeah, I see no positives from gatekeeping a vulnerable space, outside of filtering out fascists, of course.
