WA unemployment benefits warning, please boost
WARNING:
the state of washington can, and will, legally, suddenly revoke your unemployment benefits then retroactively charge you for them, leaving you not just without income, but also in SERIOUS debt
when it happened to my boyfriend i thought it was an isolated issue, but then it happened to a friend too, and it keeps happening, so please please be careful and try to have something to fall back on other than unemployment money
Seeing as it's #InternationalPronounsDay, I'd like to remind you that singular they/them are genderless pronouns by definition. These do not refer exclusively to any nonbinary gender identities, and do not belong to nonbinary people.
They/them can be used for anyone and everyone.
If you don't know what someone's preferred pronouns are, using they/them is always a gramatically correct choice, because these words refer simply to "this one person"
Donations Needed for Seattle Activist Bail Fund!
The Northwest Community Bail Fund has been covering bail for any demonstrators arrested while expressing their first amendment rights to speech and protest.
https://www.nwcombailfund.org/
The Seattle PD have started kettling and mass-arresting as a tactic to try to end the demonstrations- that and increasing bail costs have caused the fund to dwindle.
They need donations now more than ever!

dragon.style trans celebrations (food, money requests)
Apparently our main instance was kicked off on Cake For Trans Friends Day! https://dragon.style/@anthracite/105035830885142520
For those not familiar, Cake For Trans Friends Day is a day where people give cake to trans friends who like cake - and as this is a very trans instance, our admin suggested that broke trans folks who would like some cake post under the #CakeForTransDragons hashtag so less broke dragon stylists could give them cake.
...so, yes, our Paypal is https://paypal.me/packbat if anyone has income and would like us to figure out a way to get ourselves cake.
And in the meantime, please accept these dessert emoji in lieu of us having the funds to spare to give cakes to y'all. Because we all deserve cake who like cake. 🍰 🎂 🍡 🍮

re: thinking about death in the quarantimes (~-)
But of course I'd be thinking like this, right? Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of my sister's first husband, all those years ago. Tomorrow's the anniversary of the death of my best friend from high school nine years ago, while he was staying under my roof. Today isn't really a calm spot in that emotional maelstrom, it's just bouncing between the two.
Christ I wish my brain wouldn't be so cyclical about this. Every year there's emotional landmines left in the days people passed away.
I don't want there to be any more of them.
thinking about death in the quarantimes (~-)
The thing that gets me the most sometimes is knowing that it's pretty statistically likely that someone I know will die before this pandemic is over. Who? I have no idea. I don't have that many relatives I'm close with at this point, I could take that without too much emotional cratering - all the ones I had strong ties with are already gone, except my parents. If one of my friends dies though, I'll be goddamned devastated. Especially if it's in the fall/winter, when I don't really have any emotional resources left to weather anything major happening.
