i will personally hunt down and destroy disney and all their franchises

@kara@occult.camp if we're talking tomorrow then that would work for me !

@kara@occult.camp I don't have the time to reread their undertale fics right now, but if you want to look for yourself, their ao3 is at archiveofourown.org/users/Drai – just heed the tags/warnings, some of it was very much vent fic

patreon / unsolicited advice for patrons 

if you can afford to keep your pledges with the added fees, please do. maybe talk to people to see if there are similar ways to support them outside patreon; I had a good conversation with one of the creators I support, & they're thinking of alternatives, but that's not an option for every creator.

if you can't afford to keep your pledges and you have to lower or cancel them, please let patreon know the impact of their change. it's their fault, not yours.

@kara@occult.camp I have a friend who writes a lot of undertale fic, but some of them are kind of dark, I'll have to check their ao3 account to see if there are lighter ones. they're a very good writer though

patreon shit 

I was already really pushing it with the amount of money I've been giving through patreon
I can't really afford to give any more
I really need to find alternatives to supporting the artists, creators, & other ppl on patreon I care about

what's up I'm going home from Boston on the subway and I'm knitting a hat

Liberapay is now officially a multi-currency platform! We have implemented support for US dollars in addition to the euro. Blog post: medium.com/liberapay-blog/libe

I made a mistake with the patreon math and I'm agonizing over it so I should probably just go to sleep

Crowdfunding alternatives 

Oh hey, here is a big, well-researched comparison of different funding platforms:

wiki.snowdrift.coop/market-res

uhhh I'm gonna talk with all the creators I support and see if there's some other way I can support them directly bc I don't like this patreon change

ugh the amount of money I am giving through patreon will go up up by over $25 with these new changes and that's pretty significant

managed to write about 600 words… that's pretty good, considering my body's health at the moment.

Shameless self-promotion 

So anyway, boost my stats so I can impress my (entirely fictional) media professional soon to be colleagues, who will swoon at my feet upon noticing my ridiculously tubular numbers

Friend-promotion 

The best promotion is to tell others about what your friends are up to, so do that when you get the chance. "Somebody once told me" is not just a masto meme - it's usually the way people get into things

No, don't tell them about me, tell them about your better friends instead

can I work for someone who pays me in lego instead of real money and also the work consists of writing the same lego fanfiction I would write anyway

barter economy talk 

im really interested in using the internet to bring back barter economies. sure, maybe the person selling the laptop you want doesn't want what you have to offer, but with the internet, you can set up a trade with someone who is offering what the laptop person wants; with sufficient technology, even if you're 100 steps removed from the person with the laptop, you could set up the trade that same day

cryptocurrency bullshit 

if you don't buy food or rent with it it's fake money. moving on
