Sorry, I know I posted a Gofundme not too long ago -- I cancelled it before I got any funding and it is now inactive.
Honestly moving expenses have included far more than my CPU -- which itself shorted out shortly before the move.
We've been struggling financially while trying to stabilize after the move.

Instead of the classic writing/art-crit "shit sandwich," the girl-tech sandwich in a single toot. for example:
[girls are the best]
[super-important vital tech assistance question please help my laptop is LITERALLY in FLAMES!!]

New Long-Awaited Fediverse Upgrade:
When you boost your own toot which got no responses last time but you're the eternal optimist/attention hound, a sad trombone plays.

Elon Musk fans think they're part of the royal court when they're really the guy following his king around and clopping coconut shells together.

on the informal poll of the fediverse I did last year
@Alyx I think I remember asking about it and discovering opinions were pretty mixed? There are a bunch of people who read it as gender neutral because of phrases like "my fellow autistic trans furries" or "So-and-so is a fellow at wherever-the-heck" or whatever, but there are also a bunch of people who read it as very distinctly male because it was apparently used that way.

obnoxiously trying to return something at the marketplace of ideas
"fella" isn't so bad a general word for people is it
even "fellow" isn't _really_ gendered, although it kinda feels like it is anyway

Instance Block Recommendation
New freeze peach politically "conservative" instance just came online: https://rightmastodon.com/about
No CoC, and only this for a server description:
"A place where Conservatives can live free of leftist attacks. Free Speech reigns, we will not be muted!"
Free of leftist attacks while allowing free speech to reign AND they won't be silenced? On Mastodon? Good luck with that!

Asking for money
I'm so grateful: thanks to the generosity of friends and strangers alike, I'm able to make rent for this month.
But I still need help: about $140 for storage, and $20 for a math tutoring program (ALEKS). I don't get a full paycheck until the 21st and storage is due the 14th.
If you can help: www.ko-fi.com/qwyrdo or DM me to get my cash.app information.
Boosts very appreciated!

hostile architecture & anti-homeless people
just saw one of those hostile benches that have "armrests" (the neither function as arm rests or are intended to be such, they exist to punish homeless people for seeing a sleeping place that is a little comfier than the floor) and all the different slats in the bench were painted various colours
its a dark irony that hostile architecture is inherently anti-homeless whilst doing nothing constructive about it, and that homelessness is a big problem in the lgbt community, but no... go ahead... paint the hostile bench rainbow colours! that'll be the thing that REALLY makes the difference!!!

The stars were SO clear.
I got this amazing photo of The Big Dipper, which also shows the entirety of Ursa Major.
If you can see the Big Dipper and imagine it as a long tail of a bear, the rest of the bear begins to emerge.
Not bad for #shotoniphone.
