As a Belgian European: my condolences to the 🇺🇸, and should any of my fellow 🏳️‍🌈 need a european holiday to get away from it all, I’m 30 min from Brussels, I have a car, a couch bed, and I don’t mind long drives.

A few Houston trans scene people I know are fundraising to leave Texas, just thought I'd boost their GFM with my platform.

Donate to help 3 trans people fleeing texas, organized by brooke caimonte

Texas has gotten scarier and scarier for trans people and especially trans women and… brooke caimonte needs your support for help 3 trans people fleeing texas

Korean text book: Let’s learn when these two terms are not interchangeable!
Me: … or I could just, you know, not interchange them?

Me, walking around the forest with a flashlight finding specific leaves for a friend who is missing them for their class assignment: this is great. I’m going to get a good grade in friendship which is totally a thing and a very normal thing to want.

Me, learning one of the two korean number systems: Meh, still more logical than french, where four-twenty-ten is ninety. #languages #french #korean

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

Bold of you to assume that one sentence survives editing.

Shiv Ramdas Mens Rice Activist @nameshiv.bsky.social · 22d

The primary diff between writing fiction and nonfiction is when you write nonfic, you research a topic for 2 weeks and then write 1000 words on it and when you write fiction you research a topic for 2 weeks and get one sentence out of it.

‘Ew no’ is a perfect way to explain our country’s origin actually.

Ela Bambust 🏳️‍⚧️ @ela-bambust.bsky.social · Jul 30

This is very funny when you consider how Belgium was founded: it was a gift from the English to the Netherlands to keep the French from doing another Napoleon, and the Belgians collectively said "ew no" and had a revolution about it

Trying to get medical care in America is a nightmare. My Patreon helps me survive that—and there's something for everyone to benefit from. 📚🖋

patreon.com/cknightwrites

Attention please!

want to support a small
disabled and queer-owned business??

The truth?

I have a terminal autoimmune disease and a blood cancer.

These aren’t going anywhere, and if I want to stick around too, I need to treat them.

But this is America, which means treating serious illness is expensive.

Very, very expensive

My editing rates are low to benefit you, not me.

When it comes to things like paying for chemo and affording all my medications, I just can’t make enough from editing.

That's where my Patreon comes in

A win-win

At all tiers of my Patreon, I have benefits for both readers & writers!

Build your skills!
Build a writing community!
Get access to everything I write from mess to published!

And the tiers start at only $3 a month while making a huge difference to me.

Me as a kid: eevee is my favourite pokemon because I too do not want to permanently evolve into any of these multiple options.
