TRANS FOLKS, and others who need to hear this:

You're seen. You're loved. You have people out there you've never met, willing to fight for you and to help you get through today, this month, this year, this term.

Tell the ones you love that you love them today -- especially if they're trans.

🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Hey @citruscon.bsky.social folks! What game shows would YOU like to see at CitrusCon 2026? Any previous productions need another go-round? Maybe "Who Wants to be a Fujillionaire"? Throw some ideas my way and you might be surprised when the schedule comes out!

If you wait for the right time to do something difficult, you may be waiting forever. Worse, you may deceive yourself with excuses to wait. Avoid being reckless, but do not wait for another day when today is waiting for you.

I just started getting SNAP benefits this month, and they will soon dry up. If this isn't fixed soon, I'll have to extend my fundraiser again and hope people aren't sick of me yet.

AP has the better headline. Since most readers don’t get beyond the headlines (especially on social media), they highlight the cause of the starvation upfront: the Trump regime.

If you are a gay man like I am, and you spend your time as a single gay man playing a fun procedurally generated space simulator, you too may be No Man's Guy.

The brighter a solitary light shines, the starker the shadow it casts. Encourage the light you see in others, to join your own, and watch the shadows retreat from your radiant glory.

New vet bill is paid so we have what should be the total (may be extra if we need more antibiotics or stitch removal)

Please don't feel you have to help

Guide price is £3 but you don't have to give that much - it's just there to stop people feeling they have to give a lot

As for what I can offer in return: I've been a technical writer and editor, and can edit grammar and syntax like no one's business. Once I get my voice back and you want to hang out with your friends and play a private game. Of if your work needs a team-building exercise.

I would like everyone to know that while my ass is hanging out of the blanket like I’m trying to put a twin size blanket on a king size bed, Willow is Very Very Comfortable for her afternoon nap.

Hi. Sinus infection + allergic rhinitis • sore throat that makes me sound like Bea Arthur going through puberty again = I can’t run tours. I gotta do math but it looks like I’m gonna be short on damn near every bill. Fuck. I hate this.

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

Kahless tells us that even if you are confident that you can do anything, know that you can't do everything. Choose your battles wisely, concentrate on what matters most, and whatever you make of life, make it count.

7:30am to 10:15 shift done.

I smell like threeve and I can taste the color eleventeen decemberween.

Yeah.

Dusty @hellodusty.bsky.social · 24d

She's taken 5 years off my life today.
When asked how she would pay them back, she mewed and rubbed up against my leg.
Acceptable response.
Taken after the fact, resuming her perch and maybe plotting another escape? God I hope not. I was sick with worry and now I'm sick with relief.

She’s home.
Thank god.

Willow is missing.
My baby is gone.
Last time I saw her was 8 this evening.
I'm broken and if I can't find her I will stay that way.

I'll probably mute some accounts on here just to try and keep exposure to certain things to a minimum - not that I don't care, I just don't have the capacity to process much more than what is happening to me alone in any given point in time right now.

Suddenly emotions are getting the best of me, to the point that I'm randomly crying at some points but then completely emotionally numb at others. It's scary and with so much at stake this is like the last thing that needs to happen right now.

Please bear with me.

voter reg fixed yay

Dusty @hellodusty.bsky.social · 27d

US Election Day is NOVEMBER 4TH.
In many states you have to be registered 30 days prior to that (or OCTOBER 5TH).

vote.org = check voter reg, reg if needed, find polling place and voting options

vote411.org = get info on your local candidates/issues up for vote.

Everything You Need to Vote - Vote.org

vote.org

Dusty @hellodusty.bsky.social · 27d

hey so uh
I got purged from voter rolls in Ohio because I moved. The total move was about 3 miles away. Less than a 15 minute drive.

Yeah it's an "off year" whatever that means but STILL. NOW is the critical time to check your voter reg in the US and go over your options for voting.
