Life is hectic on many levels, but I am so grateful to navigate all of this with my wonderful fiancee @twenty20sight.com I'm glad we've got each other's back, no matter how big, small, joyful, or hard, things are. I love you, Twenty!

The recent weeks have been hectic and exhausting. I have submitted targeted job applications but had little to no time or energy to do more. Still no idea of when/if I will get the money I am owed by a former client. If you know anyone who could use my skills, an intro would be much appreciated 💜

Layoffs are happening in many industries and roles, but seeing how so many businesses are getting rid of marketing teams reinforces my decision to pivot away from i. I'm still a damn good marketer but I'm done arguing about why fucking AI won't do your marketing on its own (also fuck gen AI).

Well, career pivot, here I come. Just put a dent into my savings to enroll in a Medical Billing and Coding certificate program. It feels like the right choice, but ouch my bank account.

So.... I'm still looking for new clients and/or part-time work, but I made the decision to spend some of my savings on a professional certificate for a career pivot (which has been brewing for over 2 years). I really hope this helps with securing better and more regular income.

There's actually a lot of queer stuff in medieval literature, including Christian religious medieval literature, which becomes evident as soon as you start looking for it.

The lady interviewing the cat is Michelladonna, a comedian who has a social media show called Shop Cats in which she goes around the city profiling bodega cats and she’s hilarious and the show is fucking adorable www.instagram.com/shopcats?igs...

Here's a picture of Christina Koch using hardware I designed the electronics for and wrote the firmware of

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II. She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet. Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space. And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me "LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts .... This one is worth it. First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important. #ArtemisII

Astronaut Victor Glover, pilot of the #ArtemisII, and his family. They must be so friggin proud.. www.nasa.gov/learning-res...

Hey team, I am LIVE! We're back to the chaos with @sylverthorne.bsky.social, @ladystorytelling.com and Andi - come hang out! www.twitch.tv/twenty20sight #TeamTwenty

As the Integrity crew splashed down TO THE MINUTE of their estimated arrival and hit the BULLSEYE, this is a reminder that Katherine Johnson was an absolute genius. My God. #NASA #ArtemisII

Creative grievances against AI art aren’t just “AI Art Bad”. It’s the social, personal, political, and aesthetic costs of substituting human creativity with algorithms trained on stolen work - while imposing these tools and content on us without consent.

I fucking hate French bureaucracy. I am so so so done with their BS.

There's a lot going on right now, including still actively searching for part-time work/new clients, and considering switching careers (requiring a new certification). The digital shop is open with eBooks, guides, readings. Donations and/or signal boosting appreciated. ko-fi.com/cosmicspider

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

I never thought I would live in a home with so many people in. I certainly didn't expect the whole family to adopt me (and Kenzi). This baffles me but I'm so grateful. I went no contact with my biological family but my found and chosen families have been wonderful no matter the shit we go through.

I said it on LinkedIn and I'll say it here. Elisabeth is one of the very best level designers I've ever worked with. She's superb at feedback and collaborating. She's kind and funny. She's fantastic and I wish I a had a pile of money to hire her myself.

Omg! Animorphs is getting a modern TV series! I grew up on these books, and they were also weirdly integral to my own internal coming out experience. Also KA Applegate is a beloved YA author who is NOT transphobia and has a trans daughter :) www.polygon.com/animorphs-tv...

I’m Aysha, a writer and narrative designer looking for full time and contract work! I’ve worked on Life is Strange, Pathologic, Hiveswap, and Magic the Gathering, to name a few. Hire me while the industry still exists!

Okay, team. @ladystorytelling.com and I are having to make a trip this next week to LA, which isn't cheap. If you want to help with our fuel fund for both caffeine and gasoline, you can find my donation links on my Linktree, as well as links to merch and more! Anything helps. 🥰 t20sgaming.com/links

Started playing ReCore Definitive Edition and Batora: Lost Haven, and I'm enjoying both! Fun play and I'm curious about the two different environments.

Our European Service Module solar arrays in orbit🌞 With these solar wings extended, Europe is now powering Artemis II ⚡

Today’s Artemis II launch marks a major step forward in space exploration. I have had the privilege of spending time with this crew and seeing their discipline and commitment up close. As they begin this mission, I am wishing them a safe journey and a safe return home.

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

Disabled Trans people deserve joy and liberation. Here’s our Executive Director @mghaigh.bsky.social on finding joy amidst grief on #TDOV: “Disabled Trans people deserve to dream, support one another, and imagine a world where we are free, so I try to make as much space for joy as for grief.”

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

With the work uncertainty and challenges, I'd be open to learn new skills, but I have a hard time figuring out what would 1) not require thousands of bucks, 2) not involve gen AI, 3) not to be replaced with AI, and 4) something I might get work for.

Trans lives matter. Every day of the year.

It’s actually not okay to pay someone with a PhD $2500 to teach a college course

my debut, a queer, small press ya fantasy came out earlier this month, and I'm just so proud of it. I'm never going to make lists, but I published an entire book! Little me would be so happy. I did it for her, and for the teens who would rather fight dragons (or be a dragon!) than deal with homework
