Friends & Folk!
I'm posting this for a friend who's not here on BlueSky. She's in dire need of help, to not end up homeless (+her family, both human and fur).
Every little bit can help, and also give her hope that there's still kind folks in the world.

Daily bunny no.3104 does not have a map

An intrepid bunny creeps through a labyrinth or dungeon, arranged in a grid like an old videogame. There is a snake and a skull in the bunny's path, as well as a spike pit. The bunny has a small sword.

Over a year begging.

Got in for an overview appt of what I need & had 1 root canal. I need 3-4 more and was supposed to go back 3 days later.

That was months ago. Im technically being treated I just can't afford to keep going and it's getting much worse now.

Linktr.ee/Wylder Help?

Emily @tmmookster.bsky.social · 5h

It seems I have more left than I thought. Still don't know if it would have been enough for both the cupcakes and the icing though.
Icing more important anyway!

Emily @tmmookster.bsky.social · 5h

You know what's nice? When you just dump whatever is left in your half used pack of icing sugar in the bowl, mix it up, and discover it was exactly the right amount for the dozen cupcakes.
/happy sigh

A white bowl showing a few tiny scrapings of bright pink icing. All that is left after topping the cupcakes.

And the vanilla cupcake, now with strawberry icing!
I'm quite pleased with how well the GF flour rises and tastes, if it weren't for the horrid (squeaky sand) texture it would be pretty much the same as working with normal wheat flour.
Made these 100s times before, I know they're gonna taste good.

White chocolate mud cake, now with purple strips for funzies!
It's funny how when I mix together melted white chocolate and sour cream, both of which a very white on their own, the resulting icing becomes an off white/creamy colour.
It's not elegant looking, but it will be tasty!

A square cake with thick off-white icing and diagonal stripes made of purple sprinkles.

Emily @tmmookster.bsky.social · 5h

Ok, cakes iced!
Carrot cake I decided to go with just a small drizzle of lemon icing.
So the cake is no long fully sugar free, but still only has a small amount.
(I don't have any guests allergic, just diabetics who can only have small doses)
I took a side photo this time so you can see the tiny.

Cupcakes baked. Some decided to have a sploot out the side, and those bits may have become a snack for me!
Mmmmm, yum. 😋
Cakes will be iced in the morning before people arrive because I have no spoons left tonight.

Vanilla cupcakes in blue patty pans, lightly brown on top, are sitting on a wire cooling rack.
A couple of them have spillages out the side where I had too much batter.

People keep going "buy fan merch, not official!".

She has said outright that support for Harry Potter is support for her.

And is a trans person walking down the street meant to hold their breath until they get close enough to see if your shirt says (TM) Warner Bros or not?

Jess O'Thomson @jessothomson.co.uk · 1d

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
