I was a month away from not being able to afford rent and you all came through for me. It means the world. Thankfully I've found employment now. It's not much, but it will do. Unfortunately I also got a notice that my building is under new management. Which almost certainly means rent will increase.

Final push. I now have enough to pay rent, electric and internet. Thank you all SO much for helping. I'm truly grateful for everyone's generosity. This is my final push for the campaign before I close it. The only goal is helping me afford groceries this month. Thanks again 💖 gofund.me/9a3b3b934

The turnout for my gofundme has been successful enough in the first day that the site automatically increased my fundraising goal. I'm so grateful to everyone that donated. Thank you all so much. Every bit helps. Everything past my initial goal will go towards other necessities. gofund.me/8c90eca77

I've put this off for FAR too long. I finally have to ask for help By October 1st/3rd I will lose my housing. I've been unemployed for over 2 months and I won't be able to pay my bills. I'm looking for work, it's still not enough. At long last, I MUST ask for help. gofund.me/12865d5be

People (strange people) seem to get upset at trans women for "infantilizing" themselves online. I think this lacks a basic understanding that trans women DIDN'T GET TO BE GIRLS! Please, stop being a party-pooper and let them have their childhood. They will grow out of it. I promise.

WARNING: This thought is half-baked. Watching Jeremy's video about online music courses made me think about why artists that normally share their knowledge would ever gatekeep it. It's natural to revel in the knowledge of our shared craft. What makes one hide it behind a paywall? Capitalism.

"FF7 is better than FF8!" "FF9 is better than all of them!" They're all about taking down corruption, capitalism, and fascism from within while championing love and empathy. I love my children equally.

I felt judged when it came to the Harry Potter books (and eventually franchise). I was told by teachers in 5th and 6th grade that I was "missing out" when I didn't want to read the books. Every single synopsis sounded like books I had already read and their judgement made me feel insane.

24hr or "next day" turnaround on mixing+mastering gigs is a fun test. It really forces you to streamline how you work and focus on what's important. Also AAAH! OMG IT SOUNDS LIKE SHIT! PLEASE GIVE ME 8 MORE HOURS!

Not that any of this is new, but I feel like I'm seeing an explosion of "cooking on a budget" content. The main difference now is that it's coming from dozens of independent creators all at once. Literally everyone is struggling. It's a depressing affair.

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.

I hope I leave something for the next generations. Even just a few people. I hope it helps enough for them to pass something on to the next person The greatest thing you'll ever know is how to love and be loved in return, but the greatest thing you'll ever learn is to teach and teach others to learn

I remember when Milwaukee was free of the Fiserv Stadium tax. We were jumping for joy. Local businesses that had to add that tax to their sales were elated to tell their customers their prices went down. Yes, even 1% Imagine assuming that -1% tax on the people would ever be disagreeable.
