Commissions / Fundraising Post!
**************************************************************
Hello! Basically the thing is I'm a bit short of funds, and could really use some proper, new binders and some other compression garments. Plus some other daily supplies perhaps.
So I'm opening up commissions for gift cards. First, from Underworks, and Second, if there's any more interest and so forth - from Amazon.Com.
( My goal for Underworks is $80 in cards, so I can get the free shipping and not have to worry about calculating shipping. )
I am offering Short Stories, Graphics Edits, and Tutoring / Proofreading / Homework Help.
***
So, for a $40 gift card, I will offer to write you two 250+ word short stories, fanfic or original fic your choice.
For an $80 gift card, I will write you four 250+ word short stories OR one 900+ word long short story.
I've written for Lord of the Rings, other Tolkien media, Narnia, Homestuck, The Dark is Rising, Hermitcraft/Life SMP Series, Cultist Simulator, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, Shakespeare Plays, Dracula, and Dr Faustus. - And I can also do original fic, especially sci fi, fantasy, historical romance, and furry.
Graphics edits can be negotiated individually.
For tutoring, you can get an hour of tutoring online / in voice call, split up in sections however you'd like. I can do math up to Calculus 1, biology, meteorology, geology, and environmental sciences, history, English lit, or I can help with very beginner's Spanish or Welsh.
Background for the tutoring: I have a science degree and have done paid tutoring and been a uni TA before.

Edit: Just found out I can get everything I need / want in terms of binder plus shipping for $55 at Underworks. So for a $55 gift card at Underworks, I will either:
Write there (3) 300 word stories of your request.
Write one 800+ word story of your request.
Do 2 1/2 hours of homework help/private tutoring.
Of course, we'll probably want to discuss story ideas before finalizing anything.
Also for this as well as any of the themes above. - If you're into TMA, I can write Lonelyeyes, any combo of shipping or solo fic involving Elias/Jonah, Peter, and Simon. Also - The Regency Polyamory, Or anything from the Gertrude/Jude Perry/Agnes era.

Hey,
Is discord being blocked by cloudflare for anyone else?
This is @clatterbane here. Somehow seem to have gotten locked out of my account a couple of days ago. Just sent another support request, after not hearing anything on the first one when I thought it might just be a server outage.
No idea why I haven't been able to access my account with login errors regardless of device/browser tried, but I did finally manage to set up another one. That didn't work either, the first few attempts. Still hoping to get back into my original account.
Reblogs would be appreciated, trying to locate more mutuals. More or less randomly tagging some people whose URLs I actually remember offhand.

watching reddit go into a full death spiral is like watching the specifically trans equivalent of the library of alexandria go up in flames
like yes reddit is also the only place on the internet you can get an actual answer to any question in general. but itâs also a huge centralized community database about which surgeons will fuck you over, who takes what insurance, which doctors you can trust, how to write a template therapistâs letter, insurance appeals, peer support, questions that feel too stupid to ask anywhere else, diy guidelines, âhey this is embarrassing but,â finding trans people in your area, explaining why you need PTO without getting way too personal about it, safety tips, et cetera you get the picture
Someone on trans Reddit just bought the url transgender.org and have put out a call for folks to help turn it into a replacement (and more). Here's a link on r/ftm but it's open to everyone
ok, should i make a series of posts (on an appropriate sideblog ofc ) that's just like, my Theory (tm) thoughts? like sociological or anthropological stuff about present day (but maybe kinda annoyingly abstract)? would be touching on terf / radfem stuff and things i've observed ofc, but also other stuff.
Thereâs still time to vote in many states. If youâre in like by the time the polls close, you can vote.Â
If anyone tries to stop you from waiting in line, call the Election Protection Hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
know your rights!
Free rides to vote on Tuesday, November 8th are available in certain counties in Mississippi. Polling stations will be open from 7 am to 7 pm, but you can vote as long as you arrive before 7 pm even if there is a line. You can schedule a ride by clicking the link below.
Mississippi MOVE, with support from Black Voters Matter Fund and SOLVE, announce our annual 'Roll2ThePolls' polling precinct ride share serv
If you're trans -- if you have a gender identity that doesn't exactly match the gender you were assigned at birth, regardless of whether you have transitioned or intend to and whether you're nonbinary -- and live in the US, ok and are 16 or older, you are eligible to fill out the 2022 US Trans Survey, crafted by trans people.
This is a big deal, it's the largest national trans survey and the last one was in 2015. The next one won't be for at least another five years.
There's some fairly personal questions and some heavy ones, like ones about harassment and domestic violence. They don't ask for your name or other definitively identifying information, and take steps to keep the rest of the data confidential. You can skip (most) questions you don't want to answer while filling out the rest. Data can be useful for lobbying politicians for things that are good for trans people, especially ones who are basically sympathetic but not sure they should prioritize trans issues. (In their words, "The USTS fills in some of the large gaps in research about transgender people, and it provides critical tools for researchers, policymakers, and advocates seeking to better understand the needs of transgender people and to find ways to improve their lives.") Most questions have set options, but there's also an opportunity at the end to share personal stories in your own words.
There's also a Spanish language version and Spanish speakers, people of color, older people, immigrants, those who live in rural areas, and people who are HIV+ are especially encouraged to fill it out (because when people don't it's harder to advocate for services for those people, even when people providing the services know damn well there's a lot of need.)
Vote Blue.
People who have Social Security worked for it. They contributed every paycheck.
Don't fall for Republican MFers calling it an entitlement. They are entitled to Social Security because they paid for it.
Hey.
please vote.
In ANY country, but specifically if you live in the US, are of age, and are capable of it in any shape or form. Even though itâs not presidential elections. Even though you might think it wonât matter.Â
Please vote.Â
I understand itâs not easy all the time. I realize that saying âyour workplace is legally required to let you go voteâ doesnât do squat if your boss doesnât care about the law. I am familiar with how difficult it is to have to slog through campaigns full of catchy, nice-looking words that, upon closer inspection, reveal a much more sinister and selfish political goal.Â
I was able to vote by mail in my state - by ordering an absentee ballot online, having it sent to me, filling it out, and sending it in by mail again. It was great because I had the time to sit with it and read through all the options presented before me.Â
There are MANY states which require NO-EXCUSE-NEEDED absentee voting. (As in, theyâll simply send you a ballot in the mail if you ask.)
Please, if you find it difficult to vote in person on the day of, check and see if itâs possible for you to vote by mail. In many cases, your state site may have an easy online application for you to order your ballot and receive it as quick as 2-4 days.Â
Many states also allow you to vote early, on a day that you actually have off!
https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/
And as for the ballot itself - tons of websites now offer you on-demand lists of people on your ballot, with explanations on their states and what theyâre about - and the only thing you need is your zipcode! I typically use the one my state provides, but you can also get them for basically anywhere by going to this website:
www.vote411.org
And lookâŚ
I know it isnât a walk in the park, and I know politicians disappoint many of us, and itâs A) difficult to trust them and B) difficult to know youâre voting for a person who will make good choices. But we live in an age of information where we can look up what peopleâs stances are, what theyâve done in the past, and this is MUCH EASIER than it once was!
Donât let people persuade you that voting does nothing! Look at Brazil!
 People who tell you that voting is useless are trying to stop you from voting - BECAUSE THEY, THEMSELVES, ARE OFTEN VOTING.
I come from an actual country where our votes havenât meant SHIT for 20 years in a row. This shit built up slow and steady - boiling the frog, as it were. The US is far from perfect. But itâs far from pointless to vote, and KEEP voting.Â
man this sucks, being trans should have been an anthropological curiosity, not a political movement, it should have been a quirk of humanity, not a fight for survival, it should have been like being colorblind, or having six fingers, it should have been something science teachers taught their students excitedly because it was this interesting bit of trivia, it should have been no more exciting than being a furry or being born with edietic memory. it should have been this little vibrant community whose only care in the world was to share tips about how to customize your presentation it should have been an off hand remark while hanging at a bar to the tune of âhey, isnt joan of accounting trans? crazy stuff my cousin tom changed too and now is noraâ
i look back at all those old news papers from like the 30â˛s and 40â˛s and the way they seemed to talk about the subject and is like fuck, how can we get that back
October 2022. If you live in the United States, are over 12 years old, and it has been more than 2 months since your last vaccination or covid infection, you are eligible for a free bivalent COVID booster. Get it now, because it takes 2 weeks to take effect and winter is coming
*This may be the last free COVID booster in the United States
