Oh no! TERF doesn't want to buy my books about a trans woman living her best life! How sad.

Anyways, if you do want to read about a trans woman and her queer friends enjoying life and enacting vengeance, you’ll get 25% off the ebooks with code BADREVIEWS.

Every time I watch someone beat Final Fantasy VI and experience the ending for the first time, the way they're moved to tears, it's wonderful vicariously feeling that same emotional energy as I did when I first beat it myself again...

@androidarts I'm now imagining Erasure giving this tip between games in Zeroranger

Speculating on the sexual preferences of Metal Gear characters 

@Yza and so they were both bottoms

I have a request for advice (boosts ok)

Can someone please point me at some resources for DIY transfem voice training? I feel like I'm half way there, but I want to be able to talk without hating what it sounds like.

Edit: mutual aid goal reached, thank you so much everyone! 

Hey friends,

We only live on my disability benefits and my fiancé has a serious dental infection. She's on meds but still has to see a dentist asap to avoid losing her sight.

She has no social security so we'll have to pay for everything.

Raising money for:
Her tooth
My blood test and non refunded meds
Power bills, 564€

Total: ~740€

Anything helps, thank you so much for any boost/donation!

Hi out there. Does anyone know any employment law attorneys who will represent black folks in Oregon?

I'm asking on behalf of my mom, who is currently going through hell at her job due to racism. The lovely, subtle type where they "manage you out" while they pretend to be reasonable.

Since we moved to the Pacific NW, it's been the same thing over and over again. It's tiring, and I want to fight back.

If you see this, please boost it.

Dreams, death mention 

Dreamt about an ordinary guy who has a lot of extraordinary stuff happen to him.

Once a street musician, he and some friends of his ended up piloting a giant robot to fight off an alien invasion together. He longed to go back to normal though, so he moved on.

One day, he accidentally bought a cursed flashlight that showed the worst possibility of what it was pointed at. After hitchhiking with some folks, their convertible broke down and then a rainstorm started, and after fruitlessly trying to pull up the roof, the group went to look for a cave.

That's where the curse really set in, because when shining the flashlight on the entrance, they made it a cave that led to another world trapped in the night, and trouble only continued from there. With the flashlight, scratching in attics turned out to be zombie attacks. Rivers were full of dangerous fish. Quicksand hounded their path.

Eventually the party was split and most ended up victim to that world's natural pulls, but the curse kept the one guy away from them by keeping him on the run until he finally grew strong enough to both recognize the curse and resist it, along with the wonders of that other world. Eventually he found a way to purify the curse, and that in turn made the flashlight take the fantastic of that world and turn it mundane again, which he used to free his erstwhile hitchhiker buddies.

Once free of that world, they got what they needed from some robots to fix their car then returned to the real world, but the pull was still strong. One by one, the hitchhikers fell to their desire to return and died, letting them return in the afterlife, until it was just the one guy again who longed for the mundane. He took his guitar and went back to the city, where he found his street musician friends and shined the flashlight on them briefly before rejoining them.

This is useful information for Microsoft 365 subscribers. The notification I got about the price rise said nothing about them bundling AI into the new price. And certainly nothing about the option of sticking with the old plan & price, without AI.
