Help Sterling keep the lights on, organized by Sterling Bell-Senteney

Hi everyone, My name is Sterling (as some of you know) and 2023 has been ful… Sterling Bell-Senteney needs your support for Help Sterling

Hi all, I hate to shake my little tin can again after having just done so a couple of months ago, but I'm at the end of my rope and at the end of my funds. Full explanation is on the link, short version is that I'm going to have more month at the end of my money come January, and I'm trying to swallow my pride and ask for help before it's an actual emergency.

I do still have my Poshmark closet up mostly plus-size lady type clothes and some other odds and ends (and am going to be posting some more things there after this weekend) and my Ko-Fi shop is open (hoop-knit dice/deck bags and Tarot/Oracle Dice readings) funds from both of those also go towards my bills, but Poshmark fees are insane and Ko-Fi doesn't cover postage the way Poshmark does (for the bags not the readings obvs)

I mean, canon hasn't gotten anything right yet, why would I possibly think canonizing my ship would be their first win?

[notacyborg]

No. Canon would fuck it up, just give me that sweet sweet fic

A friend of a friend used to live next door to an NHL player and said that they tended to pass the house to fellow players when they got traded or left the area, so she just lived next to a rotating cast of professional hockey players and I can't get this out of my head:

Cliff buys Ilya's house off him when Ilya moves to Ottawa -- mostly furnished, because Cliff needs pretty much everything (bad breakup, she kicked him out and somehow got his condo out of it) and what is money to Ilya Fucking Rozanov? As he settles in, Cliff starts to notice little...curiosities. The smart TV is still logged into Roz's YouTube account and the guy watches a LOT of Shane Hollander highlight compilations? And interviews? And shirtless ads? But whatever maybe it's chirping material. But also there's a ton of ginger ale in the fridge and Cliff has literally never seen Roz -- or, like, anyone -- drink the stuff. Well, he's heard Hollander does. He keeps finding more and more random but extremely telling clues like a fucking Hollanov scavenger hunt and by the time Ilya and Shane get outed, Cliff isn't even surprised, he's just glad his best friend isn't a stalker.

I might have written two paragraphs and that might be all there will ever be.

[storm-of-feathers]

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming

[lgbtlaughs]

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?

When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.

Sometimes fiction doesn’t have a moral to the story. Sometimes fiction points at something and goes “Ever thought about THAT???” And you look at what it’s pointing at for a bit.
