Nature is crazy.

If you cut a worm in half,
it will regenerate into two
new worms. One will forgive
you, and the other will
seek revenge.

Harmony has gone for her specialist appointment and they are scheduling her imaging urgently regarding her heart. Things are changing rapidly and we could really use the extra support right now.

We are at $257 out of $2000, we had several large donations yesterday which really really helped. We are much closer to paying rent, but we have so far yet to go. Please consider even a small one-time donation, every donation counts. 🙏 💙 ko-fi.com/goddesszenith #DisabledSky #HelpSky

A dire illustration communicating an emergency, the need for rent ($2000) and how much is currently donated ($257). The text reads:
"We are currently experiencing an EMERGENCY: A, my former partner, decided to move out and leave behind a disabled native trans person and my pregnant partner with no support. I just got a job but it won't be enough to cover all expenses. Right now we are raising $2000 for rent. Just rent. No food, no payments on any utilities. Just... rent. If rent goes overdue x3, we go homeless. Given my disabilities, I will die if I go homeless. We have no other support. PLEASE HELP US!"

I hate how media makes Santa Muerte devotees look like "crazed cultists". Santa Muerte devotees are just regular everyday people, and I haven't seen any go on hate crusades against queer people.

A pinned post from our Tumblr: Info

Account contains venting and talking about plurality. Please only follow if you're plural/accepting of plurals. The system collectively uses they/them pronouns, and there currently aren't any emojis to signify who's fronting since it's been difficult to tell. Note that one of the members (C) can be a tad bit hostile as he is a persecutor/protector.

I can see this working with chronic illness too.

I saw something recently that said a strategy for adhd is you just need to commit to doing 30%. The full scope of 100% of a project is just too overwhelming. So just start with some thumbnails or sketches for now and then commit to another 30% another day or week. Any progress IS progress

#OtD 14 Oct 1977 anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was "pied" by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. She then began praying and burst into tears. Following a boycott, she lost her job as brand ambassador for Florida orange juice. More LGBT+ history here: workingclasshistory.com/tag/lgbtq/

I struggle with roman numerals too. I played solitaire as a kid (had no idea what I was doing) so I can tell the difference between the symbols.

My partner who is pregnant with our child is having complications related to the pregnancy. I am likely going to have to take time off work, and I can't afford things as is, let alone with less hours.

If you have considered supporting me, now is the time.
