Hello! I'm Avery. I'm your local chronically ill queer hermit seeking a tolerable online anchorage. If you're here rn you probably already know me

I'll mostly be here to journal my reading, boost mutual aid and local worthwhile happenings, and probably admire witty gays from afar.

I know how overwhelming it is to see the endless, now multi-year genocidal hell that Israel unleashed on Palestinians (on top of the pre-existing colonial one), but this is one of the actual ways that we - around the world - can help a little bit.

So please donate and share!
Sameer Project continues their work, and asks us to support them. Please give what you can. No humanitarian org is coming to help. If we don't know this after all these months, we really haven't learned anything.

The reality of genocide in Gz this week: a bakery that served a neighborhood forced to close due to the lack of flour, Rafah, the once promised 'red line' bombed with people trapped inside, new types of bombs rain down on a school packed with the displaced, the only water desalination plant bombed.

Hottest take I'm capable of today: April Fool's Day should be redesigned as a gilded celebration of jesters past and present

I love quiet people who will be very open once you really take time to speak with them but we will rarely find eachother because I'm also quiet people

I'm playing around with the idea of organising regular online writing focus sessions, now that I have a little more brain power for creativity after a looong period of survival mode.

Thinking to start as a fairly small semi-closed groups. Would any writer friends be interested in joining me?

if you are trans and need your resume edited, hmu. i'm a professional resume editor. i offer sliding scale and pro bono.
alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

I'm somewhat uncertain if my me/cfs diagnosis is correct considering my GP didn't seem to know much about it and basically used it as interchangeable with 'unexplained fatigue'

Whatever it is, when it flares up it just feels like 'perpetual unrest disease'

Honor his memory by doing something strange, unraveling a riddle within yourself, and working on your favorite projects.

Grounded into the new year last week by sitting in a train station painting dead things with rust, thanks to @jezfranck.bsky.social's cabinet of curiosities and ink making knowledge 💀🎨
