Among the many reasons I am clawing my life back from Google.
I'm not fond of sharing stuff from bluesky to try and raise awareness for some petitions and political activism stuff in the hopes it'll result in a more hopeful future. But if I dont who will?
Anyways here...
we now have a separate canadian storefront page to minimize confusion and better serve our lovely canadian customers!! 🥳
Maya Kern's online store for skirts, enamel pins, journals and more! For shoes, masks, and other products visit my Threadless shop.
Hey everyone.
In the light of the recent news that Voltage is bringing back Astoria (and potentially other Lovestruck series), I'm going to start reducing my presence here. This means that starting from this week, I'm going to stop sharing updates about my remakes on my Tumblr blog until further notice.
If you still want to recieve updates on my Love & Legends and Villainous Nights remakes, as well as any future remakes I work on, I encourage everyone to join my Discord server using the invite link below to stay up to date.
Check out the Lovestruck Remix community on Discord – hang out with 75 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
And also, please make sure to not post the links to my remakes or my discord to Voltage's social media channels. This will reduce the chances of my remakes getting taken down.
Thanks for your understanding. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an ask.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
Not to fearmonger or excite anyone unecessarily, but we would like to:
1) inform everyone about this tweet
2) firmly remind everyone about Voltage management's extremely aggressive attitude towards its community regarding the sharing of ANY of its assets.
If you care or respect any of the archivers or ren'py recreators out there who have and are still working thanklessly to bring you free, continued access to this invaluable corner of queer content, please exercise caution when publicising access to such spaces from now on.
This can range from actions such as NOT creating new, infinite-duration invites to project servers and leaving them in public random corners of the internet, or DM/emailing Voltage's official channels about our existence.
Recreating Lovestruck Voltage's Love & Legends with new art
Love & Legends (Recreation) is live!
Available on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android!
This is an unofficial recreation of Love & Legends from Lovestruck Voltage featuring unique art and GUI.
After a lightning strike, you're teleported to a fantasy world of knights, elves, fairies… and evil queens. And turns out you look just like the evil queen, the one killed three years prior. People in the world either want you in a dungeon or to restart war as their despotic overlord and you have to learn to navigate the world, chosing someone to stay by your side.
It's a visual novel/dating sim with seven unique routes, each with their first season fully available. The main character is a bisexual woman from Chicago with two female and five male love interests.
This has been such a fun project these past 2.5 months and I hope people will enjoy it, even if you haven't read the originals. I'll be updating things as we go for the next seasons and new characters.
Help a Jewish Community Buy Back Its Own Damn Synagogue!
Firsty, thank you for reading this, and I hope you’ll get through it and give us the honor of a donation, firstly, and a reblog, secondly. Maybe even a note to any friends you have outside of tumblr!
If you don’t care about the history, skip to the bold at the end!
This is Temple Emanu-El, in Helena, Montana. At the time it was built, it was the only synagogue between Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Portland, Oregon. It was built with the hard work of the Jewish community that had come west to seek their fortune and stability, having heard that people were more willing to do business with Jews in the West, a place where social strictures were slightly relaxed. This turned out to be true, and the community thrived.
This picture resolves small on tumblr, but you can see the love and care they put into it. It’s modeled after the great synagogues of Europe, with heavy stonework, onion domes, and intricate stained glass. The president of the congregation cried at its opening and dedication.
As the years went on, the West became more settled, and for a series of socio-political reasons of which my History of the American West major ass is well aware but are ultimately unimportant to the issue at hand, Jewish communities left much of the interior west for metropolitan areas. By the 1930s, the Jewish community was so small that they could not justify the large and lavish worship center.
They sold it to the city for one dollar.
The promise made to them was that it would be used for the public good. The state readied the former temple for its new function as offices for Social and Rehabilitation Services, sandblasting of the Hebrew inscription, “Gate to the Eternal,” above the entry and removing the star-studded, painted domes.. The copper was stripped from the building and likely reused to re-clad the State Capitol’s dome at about the same time.
That lasted all of 40 years, when the State of Montana decided to let it sit idle and decay, so they could justify the sale of the building, sold for a pittance to the public good, to the Helena Catholic Diocese for $83,000 (this is an opinion of mine, though it is not an uneducated one, and I do firmly believe it. I do not, however, represent that they allowed it to fall into disrepair to justify the sale as objective fact.)
This is the building now
In a twist of fate, the diocese can no longer afford to maintain the building. They are selling it, and the Jewish community of Helena is trying to buy it.
The Montana Jewish Project is being far far far nicer and more politic about this than I would be, but in fairness, they actually how to get Nice Goyim to donate, and I don’t, so. The Diocese is spinning this as selling the building for much less than its worth, which may be true, but if you bought it for $83,000, that would be $280,000 now.
They are selling it for $925,000. And we have to have 70% of the purchase price by February 28th. Easy terms, right?
Here’s where you come in! If the idea of Montana’s Jews getting back the building that was sold to the Diocese in spite of the original agreement appeals to you, you can and should donate to their capital campaign. They even have an option for your donation where if we don’t get Emanu-El back, your money will be returned to you instead of being used for other MJP protects and repairs.
This place won’t just be used for the Jewish community, though I think that would be enough. They want it to be used as a museum and center for the community as well, to teach about Jewish life in Montana, with Jewish cooking classes, and social programs, and teaching non-Jews about Jewish customs and culture.
I just want to get the cross off the top.
Donate here
AND WE’RE LIVE!
I just wanted to say thank you for every single person who has worked hard on this. AND every single person who is willing to make a purchase. Just as a reminder we are a CHARITY fanzine so 100% of proceeds will be going to the Indian Residential Schools Survivor Society.
We will be shipping INTERNATIONALLY!

Woah 😳
I can’t draw to save my life but I love trying to draw temple art when I’m feeling stressed and thought I’d share this because I need praise from random strangers on the internet. /Credit to snuffysbox\
so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
The full picture is even more heart breaking after you open the uncropped version. Just a heads-up, it's rough
“The Roman Catholic Parish in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan was just grafitted.”
Nah let’s post it. Let’s feel it. Don’t look away.
I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.
Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.
Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.
Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.
They were CHILDREN.
They were murdered in cold blood.
You’re a postgrad student who’s just gotten a job at the swanky Café Milan – but things here are not quite as they seem. Team up with your chosen love interest to figure out what’s really going on.
Fated is the newest game from VOW Games and our most ambitious game to date. We hope this will be one of many projects to come from this team, and we’d love your help to see that happen. Start by playing the game at the link here!
You can enjoy Fated completely free, as we made it for the fun of participating in the Otome Game Jam 2021. But if you’d like to show your appreciation you can tip us here.
I have a request. There are some stressful things going on in life at the moment and it's looking like my family and I will be taking some major financial hits.
If you played Crème de la Crème or Blood Money and enjoyed them, please consider rating and reviewing on whatever platform you use! It boosts visibility on storefronts massively, and hopefully improves sales, which literally help pay the bills.
I feel weird about asking but if you do want to support with honest ratings or reviews that would be absolutely amazing.
Thank you!
I posted this thinking I was shouting into a void but I am incredibly touched and moved by people signal boosting this. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️
Hello, and I’m sorry. I’ve never done anything like this before, and I hope I never have to again. I don’t enjoy having to ask for help. But this isn’t for my own sake- it’s for my mother’s and my two young half siblings.
After months of seeking for answers, being misdiagnosed and dismissed by doctors and just being mistreated by medical staff, my mother has finally recieved a proper diagnosis. Stage 4 lung cancer.
It began with a back ache months ago. She went to the doctors and got multiple scans done- they found tumors. She was told they were likely cancerous. They performed a biopsy, and it came back negative. We were hopeful then that it wasn’t cancer, but then she got pneumonia and a lung infection, sending her again to the hospital. It was that time where she had another biopsy performed, and the official diagnoses came in. It was cancer, and it was already at stage 4. It took around 5 months for this diagnosis, and in that time her condition progressed further.
It is at this point according to doctors, incurable. However, our hope is that she can fight it long enough to be there for her youngest children, 1 and 2 years old respectively. We hope that she can overcome the odds and stick around for a few more years, so that they can remember her. Either way, we’d like to keep her comfortable for however long she continues to be with us.
So if you feel inclined, I’d like to ask you to consider donating to my mother’s gofundme. I understand that money is very tight right now, so if you can’t- I fully understand and appreciate you taking your time to read this. If you feel inclined to share this post as well, I’d also appreciate that. Thank you.
My daughter-n-law has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and doctors are sa… Deborah Saulter needs your support for Joanna Peterson - s
I’d like to thank everyone.
From the full extent in which my heart is capable, I want to sincerely thank you all. For the donations, the spreading of the word, all of it. Thank you.
My mother has been failed by almost everyone in her life. Parents, education system, romantic partners, and most recently the medical care system. However, the outpouring kindness sent to my mother through this has absolutely strengthened her. Thank you for showing my mother the love and human ability for empathy and kindness that she has always deserved to see.
An update on her condition though- she’s began radiation. It’s a painful and draining process, but one that she is powering through. She has been able to keep her lively humor and spark, jokingly saying one of the devices used in her treatment is ‘Straight out of Pokémon’. I don’t know what she really meant by that, but that’s a very in character thing for her to say.
Again, thank you all so much.
Hi, if you care about us Autistic folks then please boost this

“The confrontation between logging company Teal-Jones and forest defenders in court is the result of the ongoing failure of the provincial government to follow through on their promise and deliver solutions to protect globally rare and endangered old-growth forest like the spectacularly intact Fairy Creek rainforest in Pacheedaht territory,” said Sierra Club BC campaigner Jens Wieting in a statement Thursday.
The Fairy Creek rainforest is the last intact watershed in the San Juan river system, representing an ancient and irreplaceable ecosystem, and if Teal-Jones is successful in logging it, trees hundreds to thousands of years old will be turned to sawdust…
[ Similar destruction in the nearby Caycuse watershed, where old-growth trees have been logged by Teal-Jones, photographed by TJ Watts. ]
Although this injunction has been granted, the defenders of Fairy Creek are not backing down, and are asking you to join the fight however you can.
Getting boots on the ground is of the utmost importance right now, and Fairy Creek Blockade are asking anyone who can to join them on the front lines, but for those who can’t physically join the blockade, donating is incredibly important and helpful as well.
You can also help by writing to + phoning decision makers and voicing your horror and disgust at the situation, some key individuals are:
B.C. Premier John Horgan: (250) - 387 - 1715 / [email protected]
Minister of Forests Katrine Conroy: (250) - 387 - 6240 / [email protected]
Minister of Enviro. George Heyman: (250) - 387 - 1187 / [email protected]
And Teal-Jones themselves, which can be reached at: (604) - 587 - 8700
Please take action for B.C.’s last old-growth forests, because we won’t have another chance to save them.

KhalsaAid
Khalsa Aid is fucking amazing. They're who you want to donate to, period.
This is one of the few cases where I advocate donating to organisations rather than individuals, because right now, in India, the breakdown of medical infrastructure is so bad that money won't help you. The effort is being carried out now by volunteers who are coordinating resources.
Khalsa Aid is a very old and proven and beloved organisation with absolutely no ties to the hindu government. In fact they have extensive ties to the still-ongoing farmer's protests. They are effective, established, trusted, and sound.
