If you are a trans person who feels trapped and desperate, I wrote a short story in 2022 that might provide a little catharsis.

I'm at the end of my rope. I desperately need to build a substantial fund to continue living and move forward with bureaucracies to allow myself any my fiancée a decent life. The only reason I cannot get a full time job anymore is there are no companies willing to hire me despite my qualifications. If you know anything you can throw towards someone who has extensive knowledge of embedded systems, graphic design, user interfaces, web development, music composing, pixel art, documentation writing and more, please tell me. I have a portfolio at https://mynameiser.in and I really need to add more stuff I've done to it but it's a start for now. #fedihire #fedihired #getfedihired #mutualaid

tightsposting 

as someone who has very little experience wearing tights regularly, I sometimes struggle with picking the right size.

Stuff like how snug it's supposed to be, trying to compare it to other clothes I have in my wardrobe, that sort of thing.

I've been given a few pointers here and there but I still haven't gotten a feel for it.

Guess the only way to find out is to try, yeah?

Bring back self-hosted blogs, reinstall a feed reader, make your feed icon prominent on your blog. Blogs + Atom/RSS is the best decentralized social media system we've ever had!

And yes I am saying that as co-author of ActivityPub: self hosted blogs is the best decentralized social networking we've had

I don't have many goals for 2024 besides trying to be more kind to myself.

also talk to people more. I know too many cool folks that I don't talk to enough.

Hello folks! Over on the Secret Area, I wrote about some stuff I bought through the rest of the year. Books that became TV movies! Schlocky licensed titles! Music! Memes and promoting other folks' work!

it's midnight and I'm feeling pretty alright, ama

A friend tried to make us watch Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa, but it took like 16 minutes before we all tapped out.

It's as awful as people say it is.

the upside of being on the fediverse is I can mention a brand/company and I don't have to worry about getting a random response from said brand/company.

Or as I like to call it, Ryan Davis' Law of Social Media.
