Re:
‘You should make art for the love of it, not for the money.’
Is a good idea in theory but not good advice in practice. Especially when aimed at working class artists. An artist has the same 24 hrs in a day that any worker has & it isn’t flawed to want compensation for your time.

Welp. Today is the day. Hopefully the first major step in to be able to be a human again.
If anyone has any tips for having after surgery patience with your healing journey I'd love them.

If you have anything you can spare (or even just the opportunity to share this!) please do! Let's give these two magical beings some of the magic they give the world 💚🌱
The doctor took a look at my test results and… ordered $1200.00 more tests 😬Thank you VERY much for helping two trans guys escape medical hell! Lou is in the doctors right now and we would not be here without you. If you can help us out, you give us the opportunity to pay it forward one day 😭

I swear I will be back, social media. Just prepping for surgery in two days and the weight of it all finally hit me that I'm going to be different after this. And it's fine. But it isn't and it's ok and I want this but I'm overwhelmed by who I may be afterwards.
But it'll be ok. I hope.

I woke up so fucking anxious man. I need December to both get here and stay far away. I just want this whole ordeal over but I don't want it at all.
Just tired of being in pain but scared of the next step.
It'll be ok I think. But still it's all scary.

Today I have officially made it 20 years past my original self-expiration date. I didn't think I'd make it past my teens and yet here I am. I don't have it all figured out but I hope little Bard is proud of who we became.
Happy birthday, kid. We did it 💚

Every $1 donation provides 4 or 5 meals from food banks. Even a donation of $5 right now can feed up to two dozen people. No, we shouldn’t have to do this. But we can.
Remember that while food banks welcome donations of food, they prefer $$$$$$$. They have deals with grocery stores and suppliers. You can only buy one dollar's worth of food for one dollar, but they can buy several dollars' worth. So don't, like, buy food to donate it, just give 'em the dough.

Here’s my note tracking Az’ fever one evening after his doctor, dentist, & pharmacist refused to update his script to the correct antibiotics.
He had a fever of 38c & rising. The dr’s office ignored us, the pharmacist refused to act without the dr. We couldn’t afford ER intake fees.
Great stuff.

AZ and Lou have gone through so much. This kills me and it kills me more that it feels unending. If you can please spread the word. We're all struggling but together we can make differences for each other.
I adore these humans and I know you would too. They don't deserve this. They deserve better 💚

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks
Discord says 70,000 users may have had their government IDs leaked in breach
The ID pics had been submitted as part of age-related appeals.
