Heartwarming: payment processors help thousands in the LGBTQ+ community get over their phone anxiety

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

me: (trying to focus on writing a work email)

my boss, @keiralekseii.bsky.social, DMing me weird shit:

oh hell yes

me: while writing this contemporary i had a crisis about the characterization of the titular book 3 MC bc their development in book 1 isn't lining up with what they were supposed to be for the title so i started working on a MMF scifi standalone instead

friend: I mean, that's one way of handling it

almost spat out my miralax when i read the caption

query my boss who is a huge nerd about her inbox

the fact thay payment processors are singlehandedly neutering the internet GLOBALLY because of some purity police bullshit is making me fucking exhausted in my joints

fuuuuck

hey they're, I'm interested. here is my portfolio if you'd like to shoot me a DM or email

Judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from cutting off Planned Parenthood funding Planned Parenthood sued the administration Monday, alleging that a provision of Trump's "big, beautiful bill" is unconstitutional and will cause irreparable harm.

A win! A federal judge has just blocked part of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that aimed to restrict Medicaid funding. Judge Indira Talwani, ruling from the District of Massachusetts, ordered the Trump administration to continue Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood health centers.

y’all i accidentally made the alt text rhyme (curls up on the floor) 😭🫶🏻

i can’t imagine just leaving a profile pic blank. i’m way too dramatic to not have something like a meme, shitpost, or my favorite selfie of the day.

admittedly i am mildly sick of allies saying "you can't change your sex" when what they're trying to refer to is chromosomes.

like i 100% promise you can change your sex. i wouldn't have spent the last week laid up in bed with my crotch on a pillow if you couldn't. 😬😅

that's so wild because the surgeon who just turned my labia into a scrotum would argue otherwise

which is to say you can absolutely change your sex. i can't change my DNA or chromosomes but i don't give a fuck about those anyway. i haven't been karyotyped and i am more or less hormonally intersex.

Contrary to popular belief, the cure to bunr out is not to do more work. Especially if you are autistic. Because when autistic folks burn out, we never go back. We will drop a job or a hobby and never pick it up again.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.
