Just a bendy intersex/trans possum attempting to be a hoopy frood. ✡️ e/em/eir Check out pronoun labeler. @pronouns.diy Please stop pretending to know my 'deal', especially the whining about how you think I'm zionist/AFAB without any evidence.

I just got kicked off of Medicaid and I still don't even have income yet. The safety net is completely gone and not just precarious.

So I asked for help earlier this summer and I've been struggling to actually fundraise, but I'm currently funemployed at least through the end of the summer. I'd appreciate some help. #transcrowdfund #helpsky ko-fi.com/alexmint

Work for hire generally applies to employment, not commissions. And yet people seem to think it does when they want to feed their $50 drawing into the slop machine.

My expenses are over $600 a month higher than they were last year, but I haven't had a raise in three years.

For $5000 you could set up a "birthday/xmas trust fund" that distributes $200+ in gifts a year, if you wanted to do something really fucking goofy and kind of useless instead of setting up a college fund for the recipient.

I've seen amble and opossums dangling by their teeth before but nothing resembling "jumping".

I was trying to focus on the stuff people are more likely to recognize but it's definitely more of a cat like response.

As much as I absolutely loathe narcissistic boomer white women’s obsession with appearances and propriety - I have to admit it’s really REALLY useful when weaponized against each other or back against themselves.

Seriously each shirt is usually at least a couple bucks to the artist plus its potentially funding a new audience. And shirt sellers treat that tiny amount as a burden on a sale.

This is genuinely an existential crisis for anyone who so much as sneezes in the wrong direction. This is basically full suspension of habeas corpus in all but name. Obviously we know they're punching at a phantom of a target, but they're shooting first and pretending to ask questions later.

Like unfollowing me didn't exactly reduce the harassment I got. It only made me feel unwanted to see people chumming with them and boosting their MA campaigns while I continued to struggle. I'm definitely feeling hurt when I see people pick sides without claiming to pick sides.

Ugh this rental car feels horrible in comparison to my also an economy car.

Some people said they unfollowed me because "my mutuals don't like you and I don't want you harassed" but why not unfollow the harassers instead?

I definitely felt a lot better after getting it, though my roommate got sick within a few days so I'm still not up to peak efficiency.

I feel like there needs to be an upper cap on how many investigations you can be subject to before the government gets to say: "Okay hold up, you need to stop doing business things until we figure out what the hell's going on here"

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that it would investigate how Tesla’s semi-autonomous driving software handles railroad crossings as part of a wide-ranging investigation of incidents where the agency said Tesla vehicles have violated traffic safety laws.

Tesla's Full Self-Driving software under investigation after railroad incidents

NBC News reported last month that Tesla vehicles using Full Self-Driving software sometimes fail to stop for train tracks.
