Unfortunately, I do love it when the FMC slaps the scary dragon shifter across the face, and it excites him. #booksky

yeah, I think most of them have bleu cheese, which I *don't* like, but you can find like feta or something, too. but I don't hate the pimento (that's the red bit) olives

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

Considering a stream tonight to replace the ones I missed over the weekend, but we'll see. The kids are off today but have school tmrw so it would be an early morning... ugh.

hi yes $403 to go until NONFICTION!? I love an essay, and essays from queer writers on a breadth of topics no less!!

however

I'm here to beg 8 of you to let me have a good time—because if we get 300 backers @mruthrobinson.bsky.social will play alien: isolation while Ash and I watch and laugh 😂💜

OTHERSIDE - Kickstarter is LIVE! @othersidespec.bsky.social · 2d

We’re $436 away from unlocking nonfiction! That means we’ll open to submissions of everything from moving personal essays to excavations of queer SFF history to incisive literary criticism.

PLUS we’re only 8 backers from our final backer goal—help us get there!

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.

reposting with an updated total! I'm at $200/$850 to cover travel costs to see my grandmother laid to rest.

I could make this work for just myself with another $200~ (even if I'd love to have my entire family with me)

I would need this covered by tmrw if I wanna make this happen ❤️

🌒 Mx Mary Moon 🌘 @mxmarymoon.bsky.social · 4d

if I could crowdfund like about $850 right now, I could do the funniest thing and show up to the goddamn funeral with my entire family.

(I'd need to rent a car and get a hotel room for a few days)
