okay tumblr, if i'm about to spend $17 on a psychic reading that claims they can tell me who my future girlfriend is going to be, i'm going to need the whole town to come together and help me unite with my soon-to-be-wife

[dyketennant]

do i think this is a scam praying on lonely people's desperation and depression? yes absolutely. am i plagued with my need for knowledge? yes absolutely.

[dyketennant]

[dyketennant]

this is the most money i’ve ever spent on a bit but you know what would be more expensive? my future divorce. if i didn’t have etsy shop mentaldrawing to help me find my soulmate

[dyketennant]

i really don't like coming online to beg with everything going on; however, i am very pressed about my financial situation this upcoming semester and i really need to get transport situated by august (my city's public transport sucks ass).

for context, i'm currently working a customer service that, while it pays well, has led to me developing wrist problems that make it difficult for me to function. i am starting a new job in the fall that will open up more creative opportunities for me; however, it pays less, and i'm struggling to figure out how to manage transport to both that and uni. i have a lot saved up for a car, but cars and gas are stupid fucking expensive in the u.s., and i'm trying to build up an emergency fund.

i'm not asking for donations (unless you're feeling super generous), however i am opening writing commissions. i can do freelance poetry, script writing, short stories, fanfiction, oc work, whatever. (*edit: as long as it is not too graphic and/or goes against my morals.)

i'm also more than happy to edit your writing, fanfiction, creative, or otherwise, as i have a lot of experience in that. dm me and we can work out a rate depending on length & content.

here is my ko-fi. my current rate is one poem = one coffee. for other pieces, dm me for my rates. i also take venmo and paypal if that's easier for you.

i'm a nonbinary lesbian hoping to work in the creative field sharing queer stories, and i'm trying to build up a base for that while also being able to sustain myself with my work. if you're interested in a commission or working with me, please reach out; i also have experience with podcasting and editing.

thank you so much for reading this all the way through!! i'm sorry it was so long, i genuinely feel shitty with everything going on in the world, but i really need to build up a savings account. again, i am not asking for money without a service in return. thank you again :) <3

hi here’s a super long post about why i’ve been gone uh please at least read the end because it’s important* xoxo

hey, folks. i’m sure you’re all wondering where i’ve been, and why i haven’t touched this blog in ages. i think the last time i was active here may have been, like, april or may 2020? whatever it is, it’s been a long, long time, and i’m sorry for my absence and for all the unanswered messages i left behind.

life has been very stressful and chaotic—i’m sure it’s been the same for all of us—and at some point, i kind of just. logged off tumblr and didn’t log back on for a long time? when i finally did remember this site existed, i was so overwhelmed by all of the notifications i had, i just kind of gave up. which isn’t fair to anyone waiting on a response from me, and again, i’m so sorry if you sent me something and then never heard back from me.

this blog was a safe space for me during a very dark time in my life, however. i found fulfillment in talking about things i was passionate about, and in giving people advice. though it was a bit much at times, i always find great joy in helping people. i found new safe spaces, though, and i started to recover and move with my life. i’m being treated for ocd + anxiety, i have some really amazing friends, and i’m dating one of the most incredible people i’ve ever met, so i’m in a considerably better place than i was when i started this blog. (though life is still far from perfect.)

anyways, i don’t think i’ll be coming back to this blog. if i do, i won’t be nearly as active as i was before. this blog became far more popular than i ever anticipated, and i had so many delightful interactions, and for that, i am extremely thankful. if you’ve ever interacted with this blog, you’ve made my day at some point or another, so thank you.

*this is the important part i mentioned in the title, though. one of the reasons i haven’t been active on tumblr is because my friends and i have been working on a fiction podcast. it’s called the heart of ether. it’s about a young woman trying to move on from her missing girlfriend by moving to a small forest town, only to find out there’s more to it than meets the eye. it’s a horror + mystery small town gothic podcast, and it has eldritch dirt piles, weird mold, “special dietary needs,” mitski jokes, a cat named mothman, cryptic bookstores, and more. if you follow this blog, and you like horror (or other podcasts like the magnus archives or the adventure zone: amnesty), then i promise you’ll like this show.

we just wrapped up our first season, which is twelve episodes long, so now is the perfect time to listen to it! there’s a lot of talented people involved, but i’ve been doing most of the heavy lifting with editing, writing, marketing, etc. on top of school and preparing for college. it’s the first thing we’ve ever done like this, so it’s not perfect, but i’ve invested so much time into it every day for months now, and this show truly does mean the world to me. if you would consider checking it out, i would be eternally grateful.

here’s the spotify link if you’d like to go listen.

we’re also on tumblr @heartofether ! i will be reblogging a couple of our posts from there for you all to see.

if it’s not your cup of tea, that’s totally fine. we’d really like our second season to be successful, because it’s going to be a Wild Ride, so if you do decide to listen, it would mean a lot!

thank you so much for reading this super long post. i hope you all have a lovely day, and thank you again for everything. <3

[stonebutched-deactivated2020060]

This lesbian day of visibility, let's not just focus on the cis, white, skinny gender-conforming lesbians.

It means visibility for lesbians of color, trans lesbians (and that INCLUDES non-binary lesbians), fat lesbians, butches and femmes, disabled lesbians, Jewish lesbians, Muslim lesbians, GNC lesbians, mentally ill lesbians, neurodivergent lesbians, and lesbians who are sex workers.

Lesbian visibility day isn't about people who aren't lesbians seeing us through the narrow scope of "what a lesbian is"- it's about seeing all lesbians, about respecting us, about being thankful for us.

Thank you

[daintybeth]

before i realised i was gay the idea of being a housewife was horrifying but NOW all i want is to wear aprons and bake for my wife on our little farm while also tending to the animals and taking care of our house until she comes home and then eat dinner and we cuddle up on the couch with our dogs until bedtime🌸
