Hey y'all, I just got hit hard with an emergency payment and I really need some mutual aid to help with my electric bill this month. I don't mean to be annoying about it, even AFTER getting my recent payment from work but I could use the assistance.

Did I just order the Huntri/x happy meal? Yes. Yes I did. No one can stop me. I'm allowed a little treat for lunch.

Got to read an ARC of this book and it was so good I had to stop because I NEED to read it on paper and hold it in my hands. Lovely world building, an excellent cast, and prose that actually made me sit back and consider how to have that impact in my own writing. Cannot wait to get my copy!!

🏳️‍⚧️ TRANS RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️

This is /extremely/ not a need, but since it's TDOV: If someone wants to send me $9 so I don't have to spend my own money finding out if this coffee place tomorrow is good, it'd be really funny ko-fi.com/kobanya

A quick video about trans day of visibility. www.tiktok.com/@gnomedic/vi...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! I will never be silenced for existing, no one can take my happiness and joy. 🏳️‍⚧️⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

This is nuts. The only reason to do this is the cruelty and the racism. It will actively harm the U.S. economy. We're not talking about undocumented migrant workers here. These are legal PERMANENT residents.

Finished reading my 10th book this year! It was also #10 in a series. My wife and I have been reading this series for what... 2 years now? It's been an absolute joy, full of adventure. Thanks @arassivad.bsky.social for sharing this special series with me. 💝

I’m going to keep bringing this up until the bill is defeated this bill would ban every book that mentions trans people from schools if your state currently has anti-book ban laws, this would negate them this is censorship this is overreach this is erasure this is an early step of genocide

H.R. 7661 isn't on the legislative calendar yet, but could be as early as April 13. Let's use this time to prepare for the next stage in the fight. Bring some folks in your community together. Make some posters. Work on a letter to the editor. Find your voice & use it.

Great time at the San Francisco Stationery Fest on Friday! I was good & stayed in budget! Made many new friends and saw old ones. 🧡✌️ Thank you to everyone who joined us at the @cozystationeryclub meetup! And a special thanks to KuboandLucy for giving us SF stickers to share with attendees! 🧡

“Rowling has made it abundantly clear that she thinks attacking transgender people via the legal system is a worthwhile cause and a good use of her vast personal fortune…there’s no way to watch this show without supporting Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting…”

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

Made it home at 7am. Left at 5pm. e.e; Crashed when I got home. Now I'm rested, cleaning up, decompressing, and listening to The Chicks with my wife as the cats sleep nearby. All is right in my bubble. I'll deal with the real world tomorrow. Let me have this high for just a little longer. <3

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

So sorry to be reposting this. I have a bunch of games currently open on Startplaying to help out with bills. There is a new Kofi goal as now rent is due this week. I'm trying my best yall but any help would be appreciated. #mutualaid ko-fi.com/dndjordanlea...

I'm finally back with more Pokémon Diamond, so let's head to Canalave City for our next gym badge! www.twitch.tv/KyleWithAnN

SF Stationery Fest! Wild time at the airport, but smooth sailing. Already connect with friends, too! So good to see everyone! Be sure to say hi! 🧡✌️ #stationery #planner #journal #hobonichi #sfstationeryfest

Heading to the San Francisco Stationery Fest! And WOWZA Ohare sucks right now. If you're traveling, do give yourself a ton of extra time. Standard security check was wildly long (thankfully had tsa precheck). At 3:30am. I've never seen it so busy before at this hour.

Don't know what else to say other than if you still fuck with JK Rowling and Harry Potter, you don't deserve to have me in your life. That goes doubly if you feign not understanding why.

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

Reposting this yall. I’m so sorry to keep doing so. I’ve been flaring pretty badly the past couple of days which has not helped this at all. Trying to get these bills paid. Any help is appreciated. ko-fi.com/dndjordanlea... #mutualaid

YEAR OF THE MER Mega-Thread since we're a couple weeks out and I kind of feel like throwing up. Book 1 of 2 is out on April 7! Available in the US and CAN from Saga: bookshop.org/p/books/year... And in the UK and wherever else they distribute in English from Titan: titanbooks.com/72438-year-o...

Today's a great day to support a trans person. It's me. A trans person. <3

Been debating whether or not to ask for help on this, but honestly I'm going to need it. Waiting on a new CPAP machine which allows me breathe while I sleep at night, but it costs hundreds of dollars I don't have. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. <3 ko-fi.com/gnomedic/goa...

The most insidious thing about today's Epic news isn't just the 1000 layoffs, or that it's attached to Fortnite--- This is your reminder that Fortnite's population heavily: is kids. Epic is essentially blaming kids for today's news. Kids aren't feeding the Fortnite machine enough.

I have not gotten my "whoops forgot to remind you about the B&N Preorder sale" email yet but we can assume that this is INDEED THE LAST B&N PREORDER SALE for Year of the Mer (Book 1) if you haven't done the thing through your local indie yet. Code: PREORDER25 www.barnesandnoble.com/w/year-of-th...

Still thinking about Project Hail Mary (book). So fucking good.

Things are grim out there so take a deep cleansing breath and watch 60 seconds of bear cubs gambolling around adorably.

It's so funny to me when an entertainment company says "Man up." "Man up and accept shitty art!" "Man up and pay $100 for a game!" I...don't have to? www.pcgamer.com/games/action...

Also my wife brought me a 151 booster pack and I got a Blastoise ex card ;-; and then she got pizza. And we spent the night reading on the couch together. I'm so afraid of and for the world right now, but it's little moments like this that remind me how amazing life is.
