Everything’s fine, Chat. We found him, and we brought him home.

Hey friends, I hope you're all doing as well as 2020 allows.

I'm afraid I have to ask for help. @goblins and I are in dire straits (dire gays?) and we need to put the begging bowl out again.

For those who don't know us well, we are a poor, disabled trans couple. Rune started a degree-level course back in September, in an attempt to improve our situation, and in the UK that means getting student loans to cover the cost of the course and for living expenses. Previously, we had been on benefits.

We knew that we were going to lose some of benefit income, but we didn't realise that it would be the vast majority of it. As of November, over £1000 per month has been cut, leaving us around £150 per month. The student loans (which will have to be paid back) should cover most of the shortfall, but we'd already had to spend a large chunk on books, equipment and travel.

The result is that, while we were able to cover everything for November, we have no money for living costs in December. We're trying to raise £1000 to cover what we've lost and are currently about a quarter of the way to that goal.

I know this is a tough time for a lot of people with the pandemic and an expensive time of year at the best of times, but if you could boost this toot and maybe donate what you can afford, we would really appreciate it.

You can also contact Rune for art commissions and I'm currently looking for freelance games journalism work. All of Rune's commission info is on their profile. We can be reached by DM.

Thanks for reading all this! xxx

tl;dr: Please help us keep a roof over our heads and food in our tummies this holiday season!

The local birds have apparently decided today is the day to VERY LOUDLY clean out our gutters looking for food.

The people of Guatemala, rightly enraged over the fact that their government passed a budget driven by austerity, failing to provide promised funds for peace commissions after three major government bodies responsible for reconciliation after the atrocities of their decades-long civil war, removing funding for malnutrition and plague relief, and increasing lawmakers' stipends - burned Congress.

*patriotic kobold music*

being a kobold is about listening to your heart and trusting that you can cook popcorn with firecrackers

it's accepting that you don't ONE HUNDRED percent know that you're not going to wind up in the mirror universe until you launch yourself at the glass

it's giving an inspiring speech without having any idea why or who you're talking to

I played exactly one pickup tabletop game at a game store, ever

a guy got mad at me for using NSEW directions on a map in a fantasy setting because “they’d have different names for it” so I scribbled some shit and handed him a map that had the directions:

Morth
South (pronounced “sooth”)
Squeast
Thwest

he gave me the world’s dirtiest look and 5 minutes later when I described something as being “about ten bmiles morth by morthsqueast of here” he left the table and walked out of the shop

I never saw him again
