I saw the Venat and Claudien one going around and I had to contribute

a challenge from Lyon the Beast King of ffxiv saying "can you stop fucking around", with a text message warning that the battle before you is not for the faint-hearted, asking if you're prepared to stop fucking around.

there is a timer at 25 seconds, and two buttons that say Accept Challenge and Withdraw. a finger indicator is hovering over Accept Challenge.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

@solairelunaire.bsky.social

i wanted to elaborate more on this b/c the ao3 bots are an invisible issue in fandom if you're not a writer or on writer-focused sites often. i see this affecting lots of people, it sucks, and it plays into a broader trend of devaluing human creativity that fucks everyone over. here's the details:

Solaire @ 7.4 (barkbarkbark) @solairelunaire.bsky.social · Dec 14

this is wonderful! idk if readers in fandom have seen how comment culture on ao3 has gotten so bad due to bot/AI comments lately, ranging from trolls trying to shame/insult authors into deleting fic to false compliments that lead to art scams.
sharing your enjoyment of a fic can make someone’s day

#ficwip @ficwip.bsky.social · Dec 14

We're having a little kindness fest!

❄️ Find a fic with no comments

❄️ It can be written by a friend or stranger

❄️ Fics should be more than a few days old

❄️ Choose one you genuinely enjoy & can comment on sincerely

❄️ Let the author know something you liked

Two crows march through a snowy field. They see a pile of snow on top of a fence post. "Heh, that lump of snow looks like..." starts one... Close up of the lump of snow that is revealed to be a living snowy owl. "Gasp" exhales one crow. "...a spirit!" exclaims the second.

If your “zine” has a massive document full of rules and guidelines and a long list of real marketing and finance positions working on it, its not a zine. Its a job. You are hiring for a book project.

@themythicbunny.bsky.social

‼️ URGENT MUTUAL AID REQUEST ‼️

Please help me move out safely. I'm being kicked out of my current living space. I need to be out by April 1st. The details are in the post. I need a min.of 2000 CAD. Ko-fi link here:

ko-fi.com/themythicbun...

#mutualaid #trans #disabled #helpsky #disabledcrowdfund

Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words in large letters: HELP ME LEAVE MY ABUSIVE HOUSE! aka, my abusive mother is kicking me out. Please. HELP.

Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words detailing his request with some words emphasized: I'm making a mutual aid request. I need help.
My mother has issued me an eviction notice. I have to leave by April 1st, or she will kick me out with police force. She has threatened to do this a couple times. This time, I know she means it.
I will be moving in with @CryptAesthetics, who has been made aware of every step of her abuse since it began. We're aiming to move out by the end of March, and I need assistance raising money to pay for first & last month's rent, plus movers for myself since most of my friends do not drive, but can help pack. Whatever else we make will help me puchase house essentials & mobility assistance, and help pay part of @CryptAesthetics first/last, too.
We are looking to raise a minimum of 2000 CAD. 1500 for first/last on my part, 300 for movers, & 200 for a new mattress for myself.
If you can help, please donate to my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/themythicbunny or my paypal, linked in the replies of this post.
In the following image, I will be detailing the situation as it's unfolded, with the added notion that I do not have steady access to the kitchen, and thus haven't been able to keep or have food steadily since August, and must constantly order food, putting myself in debt to feed myself. I've saved up 200 the last two months by limiting food.

Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words detailing his situation, with some words emphasized with different colour: In December 2023, I re-connected with my abusive mother who claimed to have changed and was 'doing better'. After a couple of months, I thought this change was permanent, and she made the offer to move in with her in April 2024, in my childhood home.
This was my mistake. I trusted her, and put faith in her, hoping that the change she displayed was permanent. It was not.
For the past two years, her treatment towards me has worsened significantly, especially these last several months. It turns out, just because someone doesn't beat you anymore, doesn't mean they've stopped being abusive altogether. She has completely iced me out while removing access to essentials such as access to the bathroom on the same floor my room is (I am disabled. I can't be constantly going up and down stairs. She forces me to do this anyways by locking the door every night), removed toilet paper handles, taken away essentials I helped purchase with my own money, financially abused and harassed me, gaslit me, has weaponized, discriminated, and mocked my mental and physical disabilities, because they 'made her life worse', threatened to keep me hostage in her house until I paid her back money that I owed her, and turned every single one of these situations into her being the victim. Now, she's misgendering me and actively insulting me and my siblings loudly on the phone and to friends, slamming doors, cussing and cursing about me when I'm home, and doing everything she can to scare me.
It's working. I'm scared. And I need out.
