My work has disabled all extensions on all browsers and now I have to deal with ads again. I want to throw everything into the sea.

The person who said "pick your battles" didn't realize how many battles there would be

Bruce Springsteen's Protest Song is here. youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

Live over at twitch.com/thejessbeast doing some coworking for the evening. Come be chill.

Hey fronds, look forward to a co-working stream with me tonight (~7pm EST) over on my twitch: twitch.com/thejessbeast

I am solvent again. Thank you to everyone who supported me during this last week of UTTER PANIC.

Thank fuck, I'm solvent again. Issues with checking and overpaying /should/ be solved. May even get to go to a special showing of /The Princess Bride/ (we'll see). THANK YOU ALL!

Transcendence. 2024, ink on paper.

Thank you to everyone who donated and stopped by my Twitch stream on Sunday. Your generosity astounds me and fills my heart with an adoration for helping me. It's been so hard for me to ask for help and it always stuns me when people help. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.

The Cardiff Lions do an annual Drag Rugby charity match for children’s charities and it’s as beautiful as you imagined

Going Live at Twitch today! General Chatting and maybe a few video games! www.twitch.tv/thejessbeast

Bank of America continues to fuck with my finances. I still need help with funds until this Thursday. Please donate when you can. ko-fi.com/thejessbeast...

Was able to pay several pending bills with y'all generosity. Thank you so much!

Holy shit the Seattle Kraken pride jersey goes so fucking hard

The entire goal was privately covered 😭. I forget, often, that my friends actually like me. So often our mean voices win and thank you for proving me writing with joy today.

Heyo fronds, I'm strapped for finances right now and actually have *negative* money. If anyone can contribute funds to my ko-fi, that'd be great! ko-fi.com/thejessbeast...

Who has her sweetass @drawfeeshow.com commission as coverart for her Kindle now? Ah, KOReader is the fucking best.

Been sick since Sunday.

Finally got a Rogue from X-Men white swoop.

unironically a good idea

Made friends with the cats, YaYa and Taj, at the Xmas party last night.

I would also like to plug my favorite Christmas tradition, the Lobster Nativity, which asks: what if every participant in Jesus’ birth were a lobster? Mary? Lobster. Wise Men? Lobsters. Sheep? Lobsters. Camel? Lobster. Everyone is a lobster and nothing hurts lobsternativityscene.com

still my favorite christmas post

I am in the Land of Mountains and Snow.

Blesséd Yule to all my friends! May the old year be cleaned out for the new!1

Can only go home in style for the holidays, @superyakishop.bsky.social

Brain's so mush from last week's work rush that my friend was asking if she should get these two cats and instead I wrote her an essay about how good she is at poetry. I swear I have reading comprehension. 🤣

This is a GOOD NA Sour.

My eldest niece is getting to the age where I can finally talk to her seriously about why I won't buy her TERF Wizard shit anymore. For the littlest one, I'm still telling her that she already has stuff & I'm going to get her better books Auntie likes better (she's 7) - age appropriate language!

Easy flowchart for y'all: Is the creator alive? Then no, you cannot separate them from their work. Stop giving the spiteful, hateful, myopic wizard world woman your money, in any medium or IP. Your nostalgia is being weaponized.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

Been knitting hats for family for Xmas (as I can get them done in 1.5 - 2 days) and started one for myself only to realize that it's very much for my Mom (light blue hat pictured). Sometimes a hat calls to a person!

Sometimes I forget to miss my Dad every day. And fuck that hurts. It's eight years, because I can't goddamn count I keep thinking it's nine. Here's a collection of pictures that /almost/ gets to him. I think the spoons one really does it.

Created this for @wagnarok.bsky.social about a family butter knife that may or may not be cursed.

This is such a powerful image

the thing about online queer discourse is unless you dig into things it's hard to tell if someone is speaking from a place of nuance and decades of lived experience or whether you're reading the untested absolutes of the most 15-year-old alive

here's an updated guide on how to remove all of the AI from Firefox

@eustaciavye77.bsky.social Perfect for you and Fulmir decaffedepresso.threadless.com/designs/gnom...

Let's see if one of my alumni newsletter uses this photo for my MFA graduation announcement...

Only SOME of the files were restored. Thankfully we can manually recreate them, it's just gonna take hours.

Oh, thank fuck -- everything got restored. No idea how it happened in the first place though. Let's blame the fact that Mercury is in retrograde, because it's easier than actually trying to figure out the fucking reason. Space rocks did all of this -- totes space rocks.

What I attempted to do: Make a shortcut to a shared folder on OneDrive. What I did: Deleted all the data in the folder. HOW, ONEDRIVE, HOW?

My work desk is now set deeper from the wall and MY GLOB being able to rest my elbows comfortably on the desk is already making my life easier. I love the carpentry team so much.
