A reminder:

YOU didn’t fail your parents.

Your parents held rigid expectations and never adjusted them even when it was clear they didn’t fit you.

Children grow in all directions. It’s not your fault if your parents weren’t prepared to grow with you.

I remember Dawning Realization Month for the NFT people too. Think this is going to take much longer because of how wrapped up the whole economy is in this, but it really feels like it's happening.
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

However.
If you're a big tea drinker like I am, my favorite tea company has 20% off of some of my very favorite oolongs, today.

El is one of my dearest friends and really really needs our help.
URGENT request: I’m raising $925 for Dec. rent. Having a disability that varies in severity makes some months harder than others, and I’m still financially behind.

If someone could help me with $5 to kick off funding, that would mean a lot! 💜

I post for all the retired musical theatre girlies who have to take three breaths to every one of Cynthia's on those looong notes in No Good Deed but don't let that stop them from pretending they sound the same in the acoustic wonderland of the shower.

I found one that will work and can get here Saturday. I need $110 to replace it. If anyone can help, I would *really* appreciate it (my bad back especially would!). I can't work without a desk, since they switched us all to desktop PCs instead of laptops.

Hey y'all, if you can please help my friend Amy replace her computer desk. She has to have it to work and, especially with a sweet little baby to provide for, she really can't miss work.

okay so why should you read my novel? here's a few things that might catch your interest.

one, probably the biggest thing, is that it's my take on the fantasy scenario "What if only girls could use magic and you, a 'boy', discover that you too can use magic?"

That's what kicked all this off.

They have ALL THE DOGS rn. The Oregon Humane Society site is just 😍😍😍😍😍.

Cc: @idaolson.bsky.social I know you are all full up right now but thought you'd want to see these babies (figurative babies some are senior dogs).
There are currently TWENTY THREE Great Pyr mixes at the Oregon Humane Society available for adoption, rescued from a huge neglect case out in Polk County. If you’ve ever wanted a LORG fren for your family, you can’t do much better than Pyrs.

I feel like everyone should be able to show and share themselves however they like and if beauty filters bring them joy then that's cool.

But also I'm sad about it because if you're not someone I get to see in person a lot I really just wanted to see your face not your favorite filter.

Hubby @kundalinisteve.bsky.social and I have collected donations to a charity fund for those in need at the holidays.

Reach out if you need a little extra money via PayPal to get by.
It's not enough for rent or a car payment, but it's enough for groceries and smaller gaps.

Dude, give me UBI and I'll work any dang job you want. The thing that makes drudge jobs suck so very very much for me has never been the quality of the work but the fact that while I am working that full time plus job I am *still not making enough to live* so it's a drudge job+a precarious life.
Always grinds my gears when people say "No one would work drudge jobs if there was a UBI"

But even staying completely capitalist, I disagree. If I received a baseline living-wage UBI, and then I was offered REWARDS for drudge jobs, I'd take it! I want to save up for treats and travel and hobbies!
