Finances in crisis, Ko-fi link
Thank you for reading this, friend.
Unfortunately due to dental needs for my husband, as well as taxes coming up, we are going to be in quite a bit of debt. Thanks to my husband's hard work, we have some money coming in, but we keep going further into debt because of things we can't control.
If you're not too strapped for funds, yourself, we could use the help. We are thousands of dollars in debt, but anything to give us some breathing room for monthly bills would be wonderful.
Thank you so much for being here, and for caring, whether you can donate or not. You really do rock.

dear literally anyone who is doing journalism right now,
if you use an ai generated image as the centerpiece for your article i will:
there are also thousands of images you can use for free that aren't being fed through a plagiarism engine. i should know, i've used these myself for my old articles on medium.

use (freee!!!!) royalty free work, pay an artist, or just don't include an image at all. full stop. stop clowning around.
After getting into a fight on Bluesky after someone told a poster to "go back to Mastodon," and explaining how Mastodon works, I now have several people who want me to teach them how to use Mastodon.
I feel like there's more features than I know about, so I'm asking for help. What's your favorite feature on Mastodon? How do you use it? Any thoughts are great, you don't have to go in-depth if you don't want to do so.
@bunny_jane i got really confused at this reply for like thirty seconds before i realized the joke you were making
@Siph excellent thank you
My favorite Ren Faire story:
I knew a guy who kept a Starfleet insignia pinned to the inside of his garb. A few times per season, some folks would come to the Faire cosplaying as a Star Trek landing party, investigating a “primitive” world.
He would take them aside, show his insignia, and identify himself as a Starfleet officer on a cultural research mission. He’d call them out for breaking the Prime Directive and ruining his research. Then he’d demand to know what ship they’re from, and threaten to get them court martialed if they didn’t change into something less conspicuous.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility, and I want to highlight two organisations doing such good work for families in the UK, Gendered Intelligence : https://genderedintelligence.co.uk/donations and Mermaids: https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/?form=donate
Donating to either/both would be a great idea today.
Trans people can't be as visible as they want (onhere and elsewhere) because of cispatriarchy, homonationalism and other manifestations of white supremacy, so I guess I'm posting for the queers I rarely or no longer see. Love to everyone who doesn't feel comfortable with visibility because of hostility, neglect, and gaslighting Ilu have a great day (racists eat shit)
