hey, would you take a few seconds to a black autistic trans gal (that is also probably plural oh god) out? 🥺
the donations are coming in and I'm super helpful. I've been able to cover up this months bills but I'm still in need for the next months. I have still been unable to work because I'm so stressed I can't possibly focus even though I'm trying a lot 😩
so, if you could help me out with a boost or maybe a donation it would be amazing.
thanks everybody for your continued support. It really means a lot for me. 💜
@matociquala What's worse is finding a hummingbird pathetically licking a frozen feeder trying to get some nourishment out of it. Always makes me feel like the worst person in the world.
@porsupah Thanks, unboosted & informed original poster.
Police and prosecutors use junk science to falsely accuse and convict 911 callers of crimes. The use of junk science and pseudo-science by police and prosecutors is widespread and has been used to send thousands of innocent people to prison. This is just one more example, and one of the most egregiously bad.

@porsupah I'd like being alone better if we didn't have a houseguest doing the brittle diabetic thing & refusing care.
@ct_bergstrom We live near the southern roost and feed our crows regularly.
We have an old arbor in the back yard and perch a dog dish up there full of puppy chow, peanuts, and other delicious treats, especially during breeding season. They're still skittish about us being in the yard when they are, but they will sit on the arbor & wait for us to come in the kitchen. They make deliberate eye contact before they fly off to a nearby tree. And we do get occasional gifts.
Hello All.
Due to a sliiiiight miscalculation on car repairs we dropped more on making sure we could drive than I thought. Thanks to this I'm going to run a discount on my dice shop (either http://crypticcrits.com or https://ko-fi.com/hexedcoffee, whatever your flavor is) to try to recover costs.
Use NEWYEAR23 on either site to get 20% off your order! I appreciate any boost a hell of a lot. I do ship worldwide.
I wish I could find a copy of one game I made, but I never released it, and that was before the net was really A Thing, so it didn't have a chance to drift away onto distant shores.
Not that it was any masterpiece, but a world better than the Missile Command clone that paid for my floppy drive & controller. Regrettably, that one does survive. =:)
And trying to search for "Arachnida".. not so easy. ^_^;
re: question about menstruation & pain
@headbanged I'm past that stage, but what helped me was ibuprofen in prescription-level doses. IANAD, and don't take this as medical advice, but prescription doses are typically 400-600 mg, sometimes more.
I still had trouble with dizziness, but that was because I was losing large amounts of blood. Finally had to get surgery to deal with it.
But a few days of high-level ibuprofen (and snacking on edamame) made a big difference in the pain levels for me.
re: food, veg
@porsupah And I'm all about finding recipes that I can eat right now - though it's gotten better, shrinkage has given me a lot more digestive room.
re: food, veg
@porsupah I'll have to try that recipe. We can get the garlic shoots frozen around here (and most anything else Asian)
re: painkiller, +
@porsupah Yeah, that's when I knew I was actually in trouble a couple months ago, when they went right to morphine for pain relief in the ER.
re: painkiller, +
@porsupah It's a little shocking when they offer more painkiller than expected, isn't it?
The old social media dies, the new one struggles to be born, now is the time of irritating overworked shitposts.
