Hey, uh, I’ve only got about £200 until the 27th, I’m already like £2k in credit card debt bc benefits aren’t really enough to survive on when disabled and I’m dealing with chronic illness exacerbations that make it very difficult to cook. Basically, I need money for food. ko-fi.com/ligaratus

So, I lost my only raincoat. I live in the UK. I def. can’t afford a new one, especially not full-length — I can’t easily use umbrellas bc I walk with a stick and have a fucked up nerve in my left arm. If people could help w/ buying a raincoat, it’d be great, thank you: ko-fi.com/ligaratus

This isn’t getting much traction and honestly, I am getting a little desperate. I don’t have family support and I’ve reached the limit of financial assistance I can get for disability and being unable to work.

I'm a disabled refugee living on a meagre income. Please help me raise money for gender-affirming surgery, it's due in July and I'm very close to the goal #MutualAid #HelpSky gofund.me/60b2a007a

This is your periodic reminder that word of mouth moves more books than any formal advertising! I invite you to rec something you've recently enjoyed -- preference for the stuff that's *not* already extremely well-known and talked about everywhere.

This is still a thing — plz donate if you can!!

I’ve been having additional trouble walking for the past two or so months; this means extra expenses — grocery delivery, taxis or buses even for short distances, etc. and I could really use help with £££ for May! Anything helps, thank you all for helping out now and previously 💙 ko-fi.com/ligaratus

While I’m here and thinking about SFF writing, I do think most of the conversation around how worldbuilding is “bad” and “mostly unnecessary” are missing the point; and defenders of worldbuilding are also missing the point. The issue is writing without thinking about what exactly you’re saying.

"Gleepglorps stole me nan" is instant Turkey City-level

still a thing — not got the spoons to do a proper fundraiser run, but I really really need help with daily expenses.

Oh, and I’m still technically in the red for council rent, as I’m paying in arrears after losing about 3 weeks’ worth of Housing Benefit when they switched me from irESA to UC. I just don’t have the savings or the resources to pay 2 month’s rent at once, even if only the one time.

Tatyana Thompson said when she became pregnant with her son, her pain from sickle cell intensified. She was repeatedly in the hospital with a sharp pain, which she compared to being cut by a knife. After experimental treatment requiring bone marrow from her brother, she is pain-free. #BlackSky 🌱🙏🏾

I try to limit how often I ask for £££ help but — on disability/estranged from family/cost of living crisis ongoing. I can’t afford to both heat my flat AND do laundry right now. Anything helps! If you can’t donate, plz boost 💙💙 ko-fi.com/ligaratus

If you buy one of Gretchen Felker-Martin's books and/or sign up for her Patreon in the next 24 hours and reply to this post with a screenshot of the receipt, I'll draw a sketch of my cat Onion committing crimes on your behalf! (The drawing might not be good, but her book will be excellent, win-win!)

ko-fi.com/dreamingnoct... Hiiiii Getting very desperate and worried and kind need a miracle at this point ~ This meeds to be met in a few days Any help is greatly appreciated!!

One thought that keeps coming up in my brain is: Do non-lesbians recognize that the refrain "we just want to focus on female friendship" reads as such a lesbophobic dog whistle? Like, girls who love girls can still be friends. Heck, any relationship (even romantic ones) can include friendship

Despair is a tool of the oppressor. You are allowed to be upset, but we have ways to fight back and be Really Fucking Annoying to the assholes at the root of the issue. itch could have done better by the devs caught in the crossfire but focus on the real enemy yellat.money bsky.app/profile/void...

happy pride month!! your friendly neighborhood butch is opening commissions to help stay on top of bills and get a new tablet! if you're interested in getting some art from me, take a look at my form here! :)

Present tense is fine. People must cope.

Please consider helping my friend! His benefits are being stopped and he needs our support. www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-co...

Please help out Silvaria if you can spare it <3

So, I got a dead tree paperback copy of the Annotated King in Yellow, the paperback edition of the gorgeous limited edition Arc Dream Press put out in the late 2010s, I think. 100% worth getting, the annotations are v. useful and the design and typesetting is AMAZING

Updated TBD's author blog: www.thebitterdrop.com/blog/2025-st... tl;dr: the serial is not abandoned, updates will be resuming soon. some retcons coming.

ko-fi.com/silvaria_ser... reposting bc my paypal embed got into the previous post

i'm so serious when i say that trans women need fucking money--especially Black trans women. Evelynn is my friend and needs this real bad

I think I've unretired from the discourse and I am worried that I do not regret my actions

this is a very good analysis of a common unquestioned default ontology of transmasculinity and I am so, so relieved that over the past few years, I have had fewer and fewer reasons to feel like the only out online transmasc who didn't think that you need a Y chromosome to be a "real" misogynist.

My dentist just called and we booked the first of the appointments to get my teeth fixed. So if you are motivated to throw something my way...

… is this why I've been getting reblogs on a post I've long since hidden on my main blog (because I dislike having a Tumblr backlog people can deliberately snoop on, at least when I'm having paranoid jags — I still stand by what I said in that post, even if these days I'd phrase things differently)

wait, I can talk about what I'm reading on here and nobody can stop me yay this is going to be my catch-all "what I'm reading" thread

Do you live near Toronto, and want a roommate? DM me! Do you live in Canada, and wanna give me money & keep me afloat? DM me for my eTransfer email address! Do you wanna do that, but you live outside Canada? PayPal me! Are you unable to do any of that? Reskeet this! Please. I’ll die if I’m homeless.

I don't know how to feel about the fact that it was Discourse that brought me back to posting on social media.

I guess I'm theoretically back on social media, but I don't have anything to contribute, since I've not had any time for anything beyond law school since August.

I might start using this more again, when I resume updating; currently focusing on further education (UK college) and other stuff, but I've been working on The Bitter Drop in the background when I have the spare time. I've definitely not given up on it!

oh right, The Bitter Drop updated; unfortunately due to failure to plan ahead, no semi-public sex occurs but discourse about diplomats and Western antisemitism does https://thebitterdrop.com/story/sparrows/001/05/

bsky has kindly decided to stop loading any images on my profile page view and i can’t figure out if that’s my fault or not

i write fantasy that answers the question on everyone’s lips, “what if War and Peace was narrated by a schizo Soviet Jewish cruiser what turns into a mantis/swan chimera when stressed”; there’s lifestyle D/s, gay sex & all the reverence towards English exhibited by BotNS. https://thebitterdrop.com

RE: last reskeet, vain enough that i can't choose a "favourite" photo easily and also decided not enough make-up was visible in the first one i picked

Reskeet with a favorite photo of yourself

local camp gay gets bored, puts on half a face trying out low-effort but more effort than black eyeliner and dark blue lipstick looks for when i want to wear make-up but can’t be arsed to do foundation or eyeshadow

okay having unironic flashbacks to when Twitter was the new hot thing but hadn't been discovered by people who weren't Extremely Online in the pre-social-media way
