new fundraiser promo post, everything after this is just a copy-paste of the previous one

im a 28 y/o british trans man whos been entirely unable to access nhs trans healthcare for the whole time ive been in need of it, just over 10 years. being trans for me has been a long ordeal of waiting lists, discharges without explanation, paying massive amounts out of pocket to get my hrt privately, supply chain disruptions, and a period of forced detransition.

this has been going on long enough that it had disasterous consequences for my highschool education and ive been neet ever since, with all attempts at self employment eventually failing thanks to my poor health. a decade of mishandled debilitating dysphoria and unreliable and expensive trans healthcare, as well as countless other instances of medical negligence surrounding my mental health and physical symptoms has left me incredibly ill, disabled, and in poverty. its just been breaking point after breaking point and ive been left at complete rock bottom. im seriously struggling to cope with it anymore.

i desperately need my extremely overdue top surgery and i have no way of saving for it on my own

I am really into covers, and I think these are the most beautiful covers of all time. if I owned these books I would put them in a glass box on a shelf and show them to all my guests and they would never, ever be read.

and not that it's a competition, but second place goes to all the Michael Whelan Dragonriders of Pern covers.

I like preschool lunch time because it means I get to observe the Preschool Agora. or 3-4 year olds having conversations amongst each other in a large group. such as today they discussed who's been a baby before (conclusion: "even people we don't know") and who the first people were on earth ("let me guess," said one, "me.")

when I was a teenager and a young adult I really didn't understand a lot of things about racism particularly anti-black racism. so I read books written by black people about it. I recommend this method to anyone who is tempted to make their lack of understanding the responsibility of the group that they do not understand

So I recently digitised an old Video8 tape that was included in a camcorder bundle I bought a few years ago. There were a few minutes of family home video, which was to be expected, but after that? It's b-roll footage of the inside of an Australian grocery store (a Tuckerbag Supermarket), some time in the late 90s. It's almost exclusively of the fresh fruit and vegetables section. And it goes for 45 MINUTES.

I have no clue why someone would have done this. They never present anything to camera and there is no narration. It's on a Video8 tape, so definitely not broadcast quality. The one time the person recording does speak (addressing a store worker who was posed for the camera), they sound like an adult man. They never show the outside of the store. The shots are mostly just slow pans of fruit and vegetables, all handheld.

Was it for someone's school project of some kind? Was it footage for a poor quality ad? Did the guy run the store? Were they just a fan of fresh fruit and vegetables? It's a mystery.

In the meantime, I don't know what to do with the store footage. Would anyone want to see it? Do I archive it somewhere? I have no clue what to do with this.

Here you go, I've uploaded the full video to the Internet Archive.

I just realised that at 15:30, a woman asks the person recording if they have "a fetish for veggies or something", which they decline, but do not elaborate as to why they are recording. Fascinating stuff.
