I think the four pieces I edited by incarcerated queer journalist B Speaks may be the thing I'm proudest of this year. Speaks is an incredible writer, with an ability to take you into the world of the GA prison, and its trans and queer inmates, that takes my breath away.
In August, we got a bit of extra money from a generous donor, and I used it to expand into coverage of trans life in American prisons.
This piece, by incarcerated journalist B Speaks, describes the chaos Georgia's forced detransition regime, currently halted by the courts, wreaked in one prison.

That audition carries your seal of approval as you click "send."
Of course it stings when you're not cast. It's a "rejection" of the work that you've proudly crafted.
Fact is, it's "selection." Not "rejection." Intended, vilified rejection and simply not being selected are two different things. ❤️

RAM production is limited to a handful of manufacturers: Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung. They have a long standing record of setting prices (including illegally, they were prosecuted for it back when we had laws).
The way they do that is limiting the available stock of RAM chips in the market.

Update on this: the opportunity is, barring anything happening, locked in now, so this is even more essential to making sure that I can make it to it comfortably. We're still at 42% or so, just shy of $1700 dollars total. Keep the good word going, please, even if you can't donate.
I've got an opportunity lined up that should keep me solvent once it starts, but it won't be until about mid-late January, and I'm essentially at the last of my savings now. The $4000 I'm asking for here (ko-fi.com/sjhdoesgames) should be enough to keep me covered until that time. (2/3)
