i need the cis people to start caring because i've called but i'm just a tranny faggot to these ghouls. my voice doesn't matter but yours does.

So I'm going to need people to scream about this like they've been screaming about KOSA and the SAVE Act.

Take it from me, the non-binary Floridian: YOU DON'T WANT THIS. YOU DON'T. YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR HOW MUCH THIS WILL DISRUPT YOU AND YOUR KIDS' LIVES.

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass.

You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

this is extremely fucking important, esp with what just happened in kansas. they are trying to criminalize every aspect of our existence. i try not to be alarmist about things but this is where we are and it is BAD bad

hi, we haven't had a job interview in over three years and we keep getting job rejections before the interview stage. any financial support would be appreciated. paypal.me/letao venmo.com/u/pleonastic...

While cancelling Nitro is all well and good, just a reminder that age verification itself won't go away as a whole unless KOSA, the SCREEN Act, and tons more are buried and done with.

Please contact your reps if you don't want this to spread to other platforms.

Youve gotta bother the shit out if your representatives about the issue of online ID laws, its not a discord only problem nor is it limited to nsfw content

Please get involved

From the late Jesse Hamm. My personal mantra for the past decade.

I want motherfuckers to understand, if KOSA passes and Section 230 gets repealed, this will be the norm for online existence, these people will determine what websites can exist, can accounts in social media can exist.

Think about and understand what this shit is so important to fight against.

lowkey a lot of getting good at music production for me has been just greasing the wheels to do the hard work over the years there’s a lot of stuff that only got “easier” because I worked out my “muscles” + resilience to the tedium and learned reliable methods, you know

the other side of this was a lot of letting go and trusting that I truly will always be my worst critic, and that as long as I commit 100% to having fun and just try my best within that criterion, whatever slapdash job I do on the mixing side of things (or really anywhere else where I personally find my skill lacking) will usually be good enough that even discerning listeners will hear what I made and go “oh that’s awesome”

wrote this in a discord server but I feel like sharing it here too

I guess like. the secret to finding fulfillment in a creative discipline is really to just have fun, and care, but not let your caring get in the way of having fun. if you let it get in the way you'll burn out or get discouraged. people will pretend that art is objective but like

it's just expression. there are technical skills that can (and should!) be learned and improved through repetition and study but if you can't put yourself, your own perspective, your raw feelings, and your own *flaws* into a piece, a performance, or another form of expression--

you risk begging the question of why it's you who's doing this, instead of someone else.
and the answer is, of course, because no one can do what you can do. no one is weird like you're weird. no one is broken the way you're broken. no one's spark of life has been shaped like yours has.

the more you try to create what you feel you're expected to create instead of what terrible, beautiful, monstrous, silly and incorrect thing lurks within your soul, the less it's going to mean to yourself or to anyone else. so don't worry. make your weird shit and break the rules. we'll feel it.

I haven't even gotten to recommending DAWs or plugins yet and I think I just typed the most important part of this So You Want To Be A Musician piece.

an update on this: insurance covers Most of it! but I have two wisdom teeth that are Hooked underneath bone so they have to do a coronectomy which insurance does Not cover.
In the end, I will probably be getting this surgery in March, so we have until then to get finances sorted

Hi all, the IRS didn't process my payment in a manner and didn't charge again. So now I'm having to pay more than I should. I'm going to be $500 short on my rent which is due on February 6th. Please anything is appreciated.

0/$500

this consult is gonna cost $200 and I have no idea what the surgery will cost bc they don't take my insurance—probably upwards of $1500. if you feel so inclined we could really use some help buffering this expense (we just had to eat a $1800 vet bill for blooky too)

one thing i want people in the us to consider when they think about whether or not to attempt direct aid towards venezuelans is how powerful a dollar is. in general in LATAM a dollar tends to be super valuable, but especially in places like venezuela and argentina it is HUGE.
