Trying to try get my next batch of meds which is going to be about $750 with GoodRx ($1800 about it) and is one of my “keeps my condition stable” meds. I don’t anticipate I’ll be able to get it, but I’d like to get the other $100, which include my “keeps me alive” medication
Tipping and supporting me allows me to not only have support while I work with the state to get health care but also means I can continue to care for mixed as a disabled trans person. That includes being able to set aside time to write queer and trans articles.
Pay Cypress Catwell using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/cycatwell and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Hey there! A little correction on the cover. The artwork was done by José, but the cover design (the image you display) is done by me. But thank you for the kind words on the design. It wasn’t easy working with little imagery. 😅

this point really hits the nail on the head of why localization workers are so frustrated by “AI” loc companies.
freelancers have to beg for a single dollar wage increase, while tens of millions are dumped into a machine designed to replace them.
the machine doesn’t even work. freelancers do.

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai.
so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

We need to start writing out money amounts fully instead of shortening it. One of the points in shortening is to make it seem less (typical business stuff) because writing it out looks overwhelming and it should be when companies are spending $2,000,000,000,000 on AI instead of just writing $2T.

For startmenu, I reviewed the excellent indie Touhou strategy RPG Fantasy Maiden Wars!
The English-language release of Fantasy Maiden Wars: DREAM OF THE STRAY DREAMER is a combination of four strategy games, which themselves draw from two major franchises: Touhou Project and Super Robot Wars.
