Hey there!

We're a disabled, queer + trans plural system trying to survive poverty. The last year has been very hard, with the loss of a family member, the sickness and loss of our elderly kitty, and rising costs of living. (Especially groceries.) Writing is one of our favorite things, so we have opened commissions to try and survive the current US hellscape!

Our current suggested donations:

100 word minimum (any dono), 1k word minimum ($15-$25), 2k word minimum (over $25). Sadly we do need to cap it at ~3k words because disability is literally a pain, but we'll do our very best to give you something lovely, and if we're super excited for a prompt it may go over! You may also ask for more than one prompt to reach 3k.

What we're willing to do:

Our strongest suit is queer (especially m/m) pairings. (Please no OCs.) Our favorite tropes are ETL, hurt/comfort, fix-its, canon divergence, fluff, angst/pining, and "trapped in a cave/elevator/closet". The fandoms we are most excited to write for are KPDH, Supernatural, Hazbin, Teen Wolf, various MCU things, Arrowverse, and Stranger Things, but we're happy to write for any series on our AO3 works list! Smut is welcome, kink is welcome, we're just not as experienced with writing it.

YKINMKATO:

We're not comfortable writing extreme underage + much older adult, noncon (dubcon is negotiable!), explicit gore, animal abuse, or major character death, but you're absolutely welcome to ask for darker or "problematic" themes/pairings in general.

We're also offering to beta read for a donation.

Examples of our writing are here!

Feel free to message us on bluesky, or here, if you/someone you know is interested. Thank you for looking!

June fundraising, not great news.

We're disabled, trans + queer, and struggling. The gov cut our benefits yet again despite an appeal. This makes it impossible to for us to afford cat supplies, phone + internet, and OTC supplies like Tylenol and sanitary products.

We also have debt from last year. Our mother died, leaving us with debt, and our oldest kitty had a brief illness before passing. Our younger girls both got sick shortly after. Donations help cover those CareCredit payments. We had to spend to get meds for our oldest girl, which set us back this month.

We're trying to raise $282 ASAP, but by the 20th at latest. We're currently at $50/282, with 9 days to go to raise the rest!

Our kofi link is here in case anyone feels generous. Literally every dollar helps. Thank you so much for any help or sharing!

Ten days left to go. We lost our appeal, so our benefits got cut even more. :/ Gonna try and appeal AGAIN and get a lawyer involved, but until we get this figured out, we're kinda fucked in a major, scary way.

Thank you for any sharing and help.

Sending love to everyone who is just... tired. Life is a lot, and sometimes the answer to it all is to just be still and silent for a while. Give yourself space and grace.

Whether it’s decision fatigue, anxiety fatigue, information fatigue, routine fatigue, getting life back together fatigue, career fatigue, social fatigue, financial fatigue, or physical fatigue: take a moment to breathe and recharge. You deserve it.

"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane

[maxknightley]

one has you making posts like "okay but if the author UNDERSTOOD the POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS of the story they were telling, and leaned into it, it would actually be a really interesting exploration of..."

the other has you pacing your bedroom at one in the morning going "why. why would you ever in a million years do it like that. genuinely what possible thought process was involved. was the writer possessed by a fucking ghost or something."

June fundraising time. 😩

We're disabled, trans + queer, and struggling. The gov cut our check by over $300, possibly over $400 by the end of the month if we don't win our appeal. This makes it impossible to for us to afford anything beyond rent. We have to afford cat food + litter, phone + internet, and OTC supplies like Tylenol and sanitary products.

We also have debt from last year, with our mother dying, our oldest cat dying, and several health crises in a short window of time. Donations help cover those CareCredit payments.

if you build “community” around hating other people, just know that the second you step out of line—regardless of your moral uprightness or the hypocrisy on their part—you’re the next person they’re going to tear to pieces.

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

post so nice had to reblog it twice and force it down everyone's throats

[fleshengine]

At minimum about 4.5 thousand people liked this without reblogging it.

We gotta fix that.

Progress.

Onwards!

I can't access the full paper, but their conclusion is right there in the abstract:

While transgender women exhibited higher lean mass than cisgender women, their physical fitness was comparable. Current evidence is mostly low certainty and has heterogenous quality but does not support theories of inherent athletic advantages for transgender women over cisgender.

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

this is actually really helpful and affirming thanks

ALMOST THERE.

We're disabled and the gov cut our check by over $300-- this basically makes it impossible to for us to afford anything beyond rent. No cat supplies, phone, internet, OTC meds, any extra for rising costs of food, and we've no reliable offline resources.

We still have to cover a CareCredit payment, from when our rescue kitten was sick. We need $56 by the 25th to fully get us through May. Our kofi link is here in case anyone feels generous. Sharing is also very helpful!

Thank you so much to the folks who have helped us thus far. <3
