following thoughts
sorting thru my follow requests like:
at this point in my fedi life, I'm no longer interested in being followed by people who aren't willing to share anything about themselves. yeah I sometimes share good content that everyone should see! but no I don't want to be silently surveilled. so if you don't want to say things about your thoughts, experiences and/or self, you can catch my content when someone else boosts it.
(that doesn't mean you can't start by lurking! I started by lurking. I think it's a fine way to begin. it just means, until you reveal something of yourself, we're not going to follow each other.)
I'm moving!!!!!!! My move in fee is paid, so now I'm focusing on reaching my Gofundme goal so that I can have some help with the moving process itself.
Thank you all for your support!!!
Aiming to raise $200 this weekend, I begin moving in on the 26th 🙏🏾💚🍀

GOAL MET. 🗣📣$700/$700 – Please help me move!!! – Deadline March 20📣
GOAL MET!!!!! Thank you all so very very very much. I'm going to make an updated post to help with the remaining amount in my Gofundme, but my move in fee has been covered. :)
My lease is up at the end of the month, and I've secured a place to move!!! I'm excited to live in a queer house in my favorite neighborhood. :)
I could use some help with moving expenses. $700 is due by the 20th of March at the very latest in order for me to move in, the remainder $800 of my larger goal will go towards moving expenses + getting a new bedframe and such.
I'm so deeply appreciative of all the help and support y'all share in this space. 🙏🏾💚🍀

Older (clean) bras to give, 34D-36C US
I want to pass along some of the bras I don't wear anymore and I saw a reddit thread where people post sizes they have and sizes they need, so folks can find each other, which seems like a cool idea. Wanted to offer here first, because it feels more obvious here: your gender is not my business.
I'm happy to DM with you and send photos of what I have and if anything appeals, I can mail it to you, if you're in the US I can probably afford the shipping.
Zero judgement. I know this stuff is expensive and it's so hard to find sizes and styles that work for any body and in person try-ons are not for everyone.
Nothing I'm offering is super well used, but nothing is new. Also, nothing is particularly femme, as far as bras go. Some have underwire, some don't.
Hopefully these might be more comfortable or useful for you than me.
a reminder: no matter how angry you are at the system, no matter how aggrieved you are with nation-states, no matter how much you and the recipient would agree…
it is NEVER a good idea to use spicy payment notes like "death to America", "Luigi every CEO", and so on, when donating to someone.
you could get them locked out of their account for any number of dubious reasons, and without recompense. PayPal, for example, is famous for closing accounts on the flimsiest of suspicion, and stealing the balance within.
just don't do it. either pretend it's to make up for a personal debt (e.g. by using a food emoji), or generically wish them well, or make up some nonsense words and reuse them for everyone.
edit: this includes promotion of anything unjustly illegal, e.g. "sex work is work". payment notes are NOT the place for advocacy. make no mistake, they are scanned for keywords.
March Mutual Aid. Goes towards bills, medical, personal care, and April rent. If you want to just support a disabled Native artist share or donate. Also have my etsy where I sell my art.

Ok, you asked for it, so here's the code behind https://tapes.playvicio.us/
I appreciate the kind words from folks that have checked out Tapes. I might even drop a new one when I get the time.
*wink
By the way, if anyone is interested in the code behind my mini Tapes project, lemme know and I’ll throw it up on my personal repo for folks to checkout, use, whatever.
https://fediversereport.com/fediverse-report-106/
I think this is has a lot of good info that people should be aware of but I just gotta give my regular reminder that the developer of Wafrn, who goes by gabboman on here, is antiblack and friends with eris. He also harassed me when I made my post calling eris out, and I will attach my subsequent Fediblock post about it below.
For anyone interested in my books & who doesn't want to purchase via Amazon or any other vendor-locked retailer, you can buy all of my novels as ebooks via gumroad. I've just uploaded my newest LITANY FOR A BROKEN WORLD there.
(I never use drm in my ebooks. If you've purchased any at the 'zon or elsewhere & need them as a transferable file, lmk & I'll send it to you.)
Also, I can directly sell signed print books w/free US shipping. Just ask!
RENT MADE!!!!!!! Thank you all SO so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Black History Month is amost over, but don't worry, you can still celebrate by helping a queer Black transmasc make March's rent!!!!!
Goal $750 due by March 5th 🤞🏾🍀💚

Reminder that Firefox has a pathway to specifying some settings, including ones not exposed to users any other way, with a config file stored on disk.
They call it enterprise policies but anyone can use it by just putting a file in the location indicated on that site.
You can disable entire features, opt out of Telemetry before your first launch of Firefox on a new install, declare you never want to be part of studies, turn off their ML integration and keep it off, force about:config
preferences in a way that can't be "accidentally" reverted, etc.
if it wasn't for monsterdon I wouldn't know about the mastodon quirk where, if you temporarily mute someone, they'll unmute before the settings change back, so you get to start seeing posts from them while their profile still says they're muted 🤔
unmuting and remuting fixes it. not a big deal as bugs go. but it would be great to have a 2-hr muting option imo
(before you say "block the tag": I read some people's posts through Notifications, which doesn't block tags for some reason)
