For those considering LiberaPay, a few things that might affect a decision.
1. It's based in France, so withdrawing money costs $3.51 per transaction plus any additional fees your own bank may charge.
2. It's donations only, no contracts or expectation of goods.
3. It supports both the Euro and the US Dollar
4. It's up to you to figure out taxes.
5. The fees will still be assessed to the customer of 2.9% + .35 which at least suggests THAT part of Patreon is honest. >.<
Grindelwald opinions (tldr: it’s bad)
@melgillman yesssss. I would have been actually interested in seeing hot queer morally complicated Grindelwald, but I am 500% not interested in seeing "Yet Another Goddamn Jonny Depp Vehicle." it's a *really* bad look for the HP franchise.
@ThatDamnCat I'm not, but hi! *waves back*
@noelle yes! yes yes yes! one of the many reasons I love Elementary. :D
cw sexual assault, more quotes from the shit bucket of a WaPo article /3
@guerrillarain@witches.town jesus fuckballs, IT'S NOT THAT GODDAMN HARD. uuugggggghhhhhhhh disgusting people are DISGUSTING and should be shot into the sun with a cannon. all of 'em. poor poor pitiful ordinary guys who just want to accidentally stick a hand up your shirt or make oral sex jokes at work or oops send naked pics but just in good friendly fun! *loads up cannon*
storygame ideas, lengthy ramble
@zebratron2084 @Vedia_Lupae @ElectricKeet oh my gosh yes, yes this sounds famtastic (typo but I like it so it stays)! I want to but really shouldn't volunteer to write the stories down. I certainly can't volunteer to draw the comic-pictures that need to go with it. but yes, I am five thousand percent up for this!

Here we go. In lieu of #OneDollarPatreon , what with their recent fee changes, I've set up with LiberaPay - https://liberapay.com/WelshPixie . :) #TipYourFriends

awoo.space patreon talk
we are prolly gonna pursue a different avenue of $ management than patreon
i wish drip would hurry up and become a viable competitor
we do have a liberapay! thanks again to whoever is putting 5 cents a week in, it's super cool you're doing that imo
if you want to stop using patreon but still want to support us, send me a message and we'll figure something out
volunteering was very dull today--only four birds in the ward, a squirrel in the nursery with an injured leg, and the usual long-term critters and passel of waiting-to-be-released assorted birds (mostly owls and gulls). I ended up carting loads of gravel out of the small mammal enclosure and then said "argh my back" and skipped out early.
on the other hand I saw a red-breasted sapsucker there! off in the trees, not in the ward, heh. it's much easier to spot birds with all the leaves down...
