Scout Paper-Mario-Wiki Needs Help

Hey all. It's gotten bad for me.

Me, and the people I care about the most, need to leave the country, and I can no longer rely on my full time job to provide me with the funds I need to do so. This is not a matter of comfort for us, it is a matter of survival, and I don't say that lightly.

I do not feel good asking for this much assistance, but I need it, and will be doing whatever I can to make it happen.

For the first time in 4 years, I'll be opening up voice acting commissions, and I've also started a fundraising campaign.

If you'd like to support me, please click any of the links below.

Chuffed campaign

Donate on cashapp

Donate on paypal

Email me for a commission at [email protected] (starting at $100 for short jobs, willing to negotiate if the commission is especially small. I'm also more than willing to do non-voice-acting work if you have something else you know I can do for you.)

Thank you very much for reading, and thank you for your help.

berdly isnt transphobic or a misogynist like he completely respects trans peoples lived experiences and identities and he believes women are just as capable as men he just thinks that everyone who is not him is an utter imbecile

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

In a “disabled people live comfortably even and especially if they can’t work” type of way.

In a "no one has to work themselves to the bone for bare survival" kind of way

Hi Jenny! I hope you don’t mind me asking but what are the steps of getting HRT? (I’m trans too)

That's something I'm still kinda figuring out myself, so I'm probably not the best person to answer, but I can talk about the steps I'm taking.

For me, I went to my primary care provider, and I told them I was feeling gender dysphoria. After getting some bloodwork done, the doctor then referred me to a gender clinic that's at least somewhat nearby.

Now, for me, the point I'm at is a little hairy and still very much in the middle of it. A couple days ago, I finally heard back from the clinic and they said they were ready to schedule for the earliest possible date! Mid-September....................of 2026.......

I decided "fuck that!" and I looked up nearby informed consent clinics. In case you don't know, informed consent clinics are basically people who you can go to in order to get an HRT prescription without having to "prove" that you're trans. They just say "hey by the way here are ALL of the possible potential side effects of HRT don't say we didn't warn you because we legally have to". And I'm currently waiting to hear back from them, but it's looking like I'm gonna be lining up for a date near the end of the month! :D

i was on testosterone for a few years (stopped only because i got everything i wanted out of it as a more feminine / androgynous person) and finding an informed consent clinic was LIFE CHANGING. i found my clinic via this map and was prescribed T in one appointment. i felt very seen and listened to, it was incredible. definitely check out erin’s informed consent HRT map, it’s a great starting point for finding good doctors!

You should know about informed consent HRT if you are trans or care for trans people. It is an easy way for people to get HRT without extrem

: You guessed it: looks like it's a so-called AI

Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.

"kung pow penis," a phrase commonly used in reblogs to indicate utter disdain for OP, has twelve letters, each of which (traditionally) must be supplied by a different user. the unanimity of disdain indicated by these twelve unrelated users has strong parallels to the requirement of unanimity for a jury—also traditionally of twelve—to arrive at a verdict. in this essay i will

It's pretty cool that you're Jenny! I was aware of you through Snapcube, but I only recently discovered your mashups. I've been enjoying Lakitu's Mixtape in particular: a few of those songs are in my car's playlist, and I've been enjoying blasting them at full volume and getting looks from other drivers (this has happened more than once). To be blunt, the world isn't easy for trans folks right now, but seeing all of the awesome posts from you and all the folks in your asks gives me hope that maybe I'll get to be Jazlyn someday :)

Oh my gosh thank you so much!! I'm glad that people have been enjoying Lakitu's Mixtape! When you put stuff on Youtube, it's easy to get self-conscious about view counts, and with only 13K views on LM, I know there's a fear of "ohhh am I falling off?" that I've been learning to shake off, and hearing how much people like it helps :)

I think that the world being difficult for trans folks is one of the things that sort of inspires me to be so open about how much I love being Jenny. One of the biggest things that I've learned is that fascism tries to use fear to rule over us. It's why they have to throw their military around so much. I've made the decision that I'm not going to be afraid to be Jenny, and I'm going to be loud and proud about it.

People act like I'm just being an asshole but man the whole reason I'm so anal about hating gambling mechanics is because I've been down that road and lost a ton of money on games I just stopped playing eventually anyway and it SUCKS and the more you learn about dark pattern design the more you realize that this entire corner of the game industry is just fully focused on screwing vulnerable people out of their money and it's just evil, plain and simple. What do you want from me?? To promote this shit like every other streamer after knowing all that??? I will NOT be complicit in this shit. I'm gonna talk about how bad it is!!! You think that makes me an asshole?????

one of my friends is a mobile game designer who's worked for big companies before.

One of the things she's told me she's proud of before, was a time when one of the (older) users of the game she was designing discussed her strategy of drinking extra water to wake up early enough to claim her dailies, and how proud she was that she made a game people liked that much.

Even looking her in the eye and asking "getting 60 year olds to disrupt their sleep schedule by pissing themselves makes you proud?" did not get her to hear herself talk.

I think a lot of people don't comprehend the evil of dark patterns. They handwave it all away by "it's personal decisions people make", even while they see the patterns of behaviour they create on the populace. They read falling into those patterns as focus and grindset, if anything. And for a good number of people, pay-to-win is a *positive* thing.

I think if I were tasked with coming up with a way to make a populace depressed, unhealthy, and insomniac, even without getting them to pay me, I'd be heading towards video games stuffed with dark patterns. And such a video game would also produce profit for me, as it happens.

I studied game design and nothing disillusioned me like this one time I did an internship at a mobile game company because it was so obvious that the team only cared about how to screw as many people out of their money as possible. The only feedback I ever got for my system designs was "okay but how can we make it more addictive?" or "how can we get them to spend?" and shit like that. Nobody there cared about the game being fun. In their minds, a "good" game was a profitable and addictive one. I haven't been able to see these games the same way ever since. It was one of the big reasons I quit being a game designer. Dark pattern design doesn't happen by accident. They know what they're doing. They want to fuck you over.

“no one’s ever mad at me unless they tell me so” is the best assumption i’ve ever made

dustsculptures

sorry for tagwatching but you still have to act like they aren’t mad at you imo! bc it’s the mad person’s duty to make it known if they want anything changed. it is never anyone’s duty to be a mind reader.
