something I remember every Samhain, from an old book I love
On the day of the dead when the year too dies
Must the youngest open the oldest hills
Through the door of the birds, where the breeze breaks.
There fire shall fly from the raven boy,
And the silver eyes that see the wind
And the light shall have the harp of gold.
brazilpol, request for help for friends that need it
This is a long shot, but if anyone here knows how to seek expedited immigration or asylum from Brazil into the EU, that information is urgently needed by friends of mine.
Capsule version: they have credible fear or persecution and harm under Bolsonaro, and any information that can get them out of harms way as they try to flee would be incredibly valuable right now.
Hey @ElectricKeet - You've heard of Alphabet Soup, now get ready for....
times new ramen
(Not my joke but I had to spread it)
financial problems, req for help
quickly approaching 2 months no income (aside from donations which have helped me stay afloat so far)
I'm quickly approaching the point where I'll need to fundraise for being able to continue driving (necessary for finding jobs among other things) for another month if I cannot find a job by sometime next month.
So... i actually don't know what else to say, but please help if you can.
I'm also considering a paypal pool instead of this...
Idea: A first-person shooter multiplayer mode that mimics/pokes fun at the "good old days" of high-ping and low-ping bastards. The player with the worst kill-death ratio is treated as high-ping and harder to hit since they're lag-warping and rubber-banding everywhere, but they aren't hindered when shooting at other people.
the parents trip (pronouns, trans)
Back from the parents place. Didn't go as badly as I was afraid, didn't go as well as I hoped. They understand things better, but they're still asking for me to be patient with them for pronouns. It's been a year now since I asked them to start using they.
Me: "I'll be as patient as I can."
