my partner gives me $100 out of their own paycheck each week for necessities and even then i often end up going over that amount just buying food because everything is so damn expensive now. i have little to no room for anything like clothes, toiletries, medicine, cleaning supplies, etc. its literally not enough and as you can imagine things being so tight right now is kinda stressful for both of us. so if theres anything you can do to help a broke and unemployable trans woman and her nonbinary partner this pride it would be greatly appreciated
sorry i know everyone is tired of me constantly e-begging but they messaged me at like 4 am telling me they couldnt sleep bc they were so stressed about money. please help us.
Over the last couple of years, I wrote three disconnected stories intended to draw a line under my relationship with Transformers.
The first of these was Till All Will Be One, a no-holds-barred balls-to-the-walls deep-in-the-paint crossover fanfiction attempting to encapsulate 40 years of Transformers lore in a single story. I’m not able to talk about that one that much just yet, because its release venue, Ask Vector Prime, is still ongoing.
The second story was Toy Review: Kingdom Rattrap, an autobiographical short story intended to cover Transformers from a real-world perspective—the ways in which Transformers fandom and collecting make me feel strange and alien. Due to the personal nature of the piece, I only shared it in print form, so again, I haven’t been able to talk about it much.
The third story, End of the Earth, was my attempt to capture and communicate what the hell compels me about Transformers at all, on a storytelling level. It’s my pitch for what a Transformers film should feel like, in my opinion, the sorts of themes it should be concerned with. I wanted it to be tightly-written and above all accessible, assuming no prior knowledge. It was the first time in literally years that I’d finished a piece of writing I’d be happy showing to basically anyone.
In fact, it had been fully four years since I last released a prose story: the pilot chapter for Mobius Motorway, which I’d intended to follow with a set of three short stories; I wrote one and never published it. That feels like the last time I got to sit down and write a commentary. Revolutionary and nothing but humans on earth were five years ago.
But I’ve been busy! I’ve gotten better! So now it’s time!
The spotlights rush around an icy stage! All the characters dance and pirouette on their skates! Optimus Prime is doing donuts! Have you fastened your seatbelt? Commentaries are BACK!
You can read it here!
If you're interested in How The Sausage Gets Made, this commentary represents an exhaustive effort to explain how I wrote this novella—what influenced it, what problems I ran into, and what I was trying to say. Generally I think that from a reader perspective, good art speaks for itself, but from a writer's perspective, I find it really helpful when other writers attempt to demystify their process, so this is me doing that. There's some interesting stuff in there that I've been dying to share. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how your interpretation of the story may have differed from what I was consciously putting into it.

i think the most upsetting thing about american-flavor puritanism is how fucking patronizing it is. it's 2026 but the whole world still has to deal with a cultural hegemony grown from the gnarled vestiges of victorian-era paternalism. tax-paying adults with passports and the right to vote are treated like wayward children because of the antiquated idea that authorities must protect the weak minds of the unwashed masses from depravity and corruption. the average american can send a fellow citizen to the chair, but they can't piss in a ditch without being declared an outlaw. american entertainment media is saturated with sex, but you can't talk about it online without getting your account suspended. it's such blatant censorship at a universal scale, but because sexual content is framed as inherently dangerous, this restriction on basic adult autonomy, this blanket denial of moral and intellectual adulthood, can be reframed as protection, an expression of care, a moral duty. "won't someone think of the children!" I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN!
thank god that the video game that features slow motion animations of graphic gunshot wounds and is rated 18+ has a profanity filter in single player offline mode. thank you for protecting this 33 year old mind from the corrupting influence that is a horse named apple slut

Hi my name is Jill Morrow I am Alyson Mandigo's mother. On December 13 All… Jill Morrow needs your support for Standing with Alyson on He
unfortunately, about 3 hours ago i received the news that austyn is brain dead and that they likely will not be able to function at all so life support will be removed likely within a week. any and all donations will go towards medical costs as originally intended as well as likely funeral costs. please continue to share and donate.
I close my eyes. I enter my Mathemagical Mind Palace. I see the object before me. I'm working out the differential equations. The derivative of the function with respect to time is equal to a constant times the second derivative of the function with respect to distance from the origin. A billion vectors rendered in with ray-tracing. I see the phase portrait. I see the three-dimensional manifold in a four-dimensional space. The shadows on the wall and the ancient beings who make the shadows. I peer into the amethyst eyes of the unyielding serpent. I have done my calculation.
Out of the suggested cooking time of "18 to 20 minutes", I will be cooking this pizza for: 19 minutes.
on nov 18th, my dad was rushed to the hospital following an esophageal bleed, which was the result of a prior banding procedure he received for complications from his liver cancer rupturing.
he fought, and improved bit by bit. against medical advice, he left the hospital yesterday. we all begged him not to, but he just wasnt in his right mind at all. he visibly just was so, so sick. they said if anything happened, he could rush Straight back with just a call
last night he kept complaining of dizziness, then stopped being able to move from pain and shortness of breath. they did cpr for 30 minutes in the ambulance, but was pronounced dead after arriving
it still all feels entirely fake. finances are about to get even more difficult now that he is gone
tomorrow, on the 5th, i have a $250 payment that ive paid $92 off of so far. theres also just daily life expenses and other things we struggle with enough before this happened
im very much in shock and dont know how to cope. any and all help is appreciated; we dont know what we're going to do, im so sorry to keep asking as of late.
Go to paypal.me/adjobj and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.
my dad was rushed to the hospital last night for emergency surgery and now is in the icu, following vomiting blood all day yesterday and becoming entirely disoriented and unable to speak. we discovered his ammonia levels were VERY elevated among other things, which explains the confusion and sudden inability of speech.
he has been severely ill for a while now with end stage cirrhosis, but was diagnosed with liver cancer earlier this year. he had ruptured a prior banding procedure doen for complications related to this, and while they were able to fix it and stop the bleeding, his condition isnt improving and his prognosis is very poor. its not actively declining, but it is not looking good.
regardless of how this ends, the financial strain this is going to have is almost unbearably bad on top of what we already deal with. we really, really need help. im very sorry to be asking this again. im just scared out of my mind.
any and all help is deeply, deeply appreciated. thank you.

if in the next day or so he doesnt improve, theyll be taking him off the vent and keeping him comfortable. even if he manages to pull through this somehow (which obviously we want), i cannot imagine he will ever be home again because of the complexity of his case. no matter what our time is very, very limited with him.
he was able to eat and drink today ! hes doing super good lately.
in other news, im trying ti get ahold of some cheap budget over-ear headphones specifically to use with the SSP; my therapist enrolled me jnto the protocol today, but there is a Very specific requirement for the headphones used, and the ones i have rn wont work the best for this.
i submerged my phone by accident and it is completely shot. it will be $110 to replace it. i have $40 of this already i was holding onto for my next therapy appointment, but it is not until dec 19th, so i am okay with using it to go towards this since this is REALLY important
i am so tired. i really hope the latter half of december is less stressful
literally any help is appreciated, if you want art you can message me about it and we can figure something out, i am desperate to resolve this asap because i have a therapy treatment i cannot do until i have a working phone again. Shoutouts unyte for not having a working desktop client for some fucking reason + no android emulator working for me. ughkjldfgj;h
