So! Let's get this started.
An unused block of pink and blue post-it notes. Yours for price of postage from the UK.

If you've got stuff to give away for the price of postage and you're in the UK, use the hashtag: #priceofpostageUK
I'll boost stuff as and when I get around to it. :)
7. I spend a lot of time on social media, but I'm really anxious about talking to people there and often avoid it. Chats are worse, meatspace is somewhere in between.

Doggie vet fund colouring pack!
The story of how we came to rescue Doggie and a pet-themed pack of five colouring pages, drawn by me, with a donation link to my PayPal in return for the colouring pack ^.^
Nothing makes me more upset than thinking about how 30$ android devices never get security updates tbh. Telling people just get a nexus if they want timely software is a fucking scam.
That classist rhetoric that only those with money deserve security updates and privacy features is bullshit. Tech might be equalizing access but it's stealing rights from the poor. Fuck new high end phones I want amazing 100$ phones.
6. I don't have a topic that I know a lot about. My knowledge in almost all areas of everything is very superficial.
5. I'm one of those people who didn't know they were trans until they read about that stuff on the internet, and even then it took me years. Hi.
4. I own a tent together with @jollysea and @Pinkshrimps and that makes me very happy! I am not exactly an outdoor cat but I like the adventure-y feel!!
3. I really like smoothies (even though I'm usually too lazy to make them), and the best part is drinking them from a colourful plastic cup. Today I had a blueberry smoothie in a bright turquoise cup. It was wonderful.
2. Well, that one is actually a confession, I use Spotify, because I'm too lazy to maintain an actual music collection. I've paid for premium twice in my life, once when it was 0,99€ for 3 months, and right now because it was 9,99€ for 3 months, which is still way cheaper than, well, the same for one month.
1. Right now, I'm sewing new velcro on my outdoor sandals. Outdoor sandals are (well, almost) the only kind of summer shoes that i like, I am truly sorry, but I really can't change it. (Sewing velcro on things is super annoying, wow. I'm about 11% done though.)
anti ace ~discourse~, sex
And all of that came from an interview with the editor of a very openly anti-queer book (of the "queers are harming everyone with their weird ideas, why can't we just have gay sex like we used to" variety).
And people are taking that seriously, but the COOL thing is that there is a lot of talk about offering information and condoms/dams/gloves in a way that works for everyone, but also, that's mostly aces forced into a defensive position by this bullshit, and gnah.
anti ace ~discourse~, sex
I don't actually want to spread this discussion, but it's so bizarre that I feel the need to talk about it outside its bubble.
On German twitter, the strawman that "aces want to ban condoms and/or sex (from queer spaces)" is being used for a huge anti ace shitfest. People are talking about how it ~endangers everyone~ when condoms/dams/gloves are available in strategic places at parties[ that are not primarily about sex], instead of being offered to everyone personally.
