My friend Sunyata, a queer disabled Black femme from NYC, has had their gofundme up for *2 years*, before the pandemic even, and it’s still unfulfilled.
This week, I’m asking you to get Sunyata up to $5350/$20,000. That’s $600 more that will go toward desperately needed mental health treatment, which longterm will support their career as a poet and artist.
From them: “Fundraisers that haven’t met their goal often get less donations. Please please please don’t let mine fall by the wayside. It’s already been two years. After I finish this degree program, I hope to be accepted into Brown University so I can be in a position to help other Black trans folks. Our liberation is bound together.”

If you’d prefer to give not thru gofundme, Sunyata also has zelle, paypal, venmo, and cashapp:
Zelle: blackqueerbpd@gmail.com
Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sunyatax
Venmo: @/liberationforall
Cashapp: $vsunnymoon
PS Remember to NEVER tip GoFundMe, because they already take a cut of all donations.
A thought:
The selkie myth, but applied to wyverns. The shawl is their wings, and if you can find where they've hidden it when they come down to the ground, then you have the wyvern as yours until they find where you've hidden their wings.
Probably best not to be around when they find it, a wyvern can do a lot more damage than a seal.

animal care begpost
We took in a very pregnant feral cat during the massive PNW heatwave and she needs to get looked at to make sure she and her kittens are doing okay, since she hasn't given birth yet. We've got an appointment at the animal clinic but it'll be at least $150 to see her and get images taken and I'm currently still unemployed.
If you can help, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Ever wondered how long it'd take to travel between two given locations in Roman times?
You can specify the season, and modes of transport, and whether your priority is fastest, cheapest, or shortest. It'll calculate viable routes likely to have been an option then, and their cost for people and various goods.
"Don't look at it as a deception," the king implored, "Look at it as an effort to protect you!"
The princess momentarily forgot her efforts to control her newly developed wings, eyes ablaze, "You told me the dragon was trying to steal me away!"
"Well, it is!"
"She's my mother! You. Stole. Me. From. Her!"
"I'm your real parent! I raised you!"
"You didn't give her the choice," the princess howled as she leapt defiantly from her balcony.
it is time

encounter with a ghost (?) long ago
So I had completely forgotten that this happened, but Mom remembers it vividly. When I was 4 or 5, one of the relatives, a great aunt, died and we traveled to go to the funeral. Everyone else who would be attending already had lodgings, so we were offered the house of the deceased to sleep in.
That night, Mom dreamed there was an old lady demanding to know what she was doing there and who she was. Mom being who she is, and of a rather rational bent, assumed on waking that it was just her subconscious playing tricks on her since she was spending the night in an unfamiliar home and the funeral was on her mind.
Except I hadn't slept well either, and told Mom that I dreamed about an old lady demanding to know what I was doing there in her house and who I was.
The only memory I have of the whole affair (outside of the funeral itself, of which I remember only that I was uncomfortable) was that her house had a secret passage to the attic hidden in the closet, and another door behind a fridge downstairs to get to the cellar. Potential ghosts? Meh. 5-year-old me was far more interested in the possibilities of hidden doors and staircases.
