The near-constant rain has been ROUGH on me the last few weeks. I have 12ish days to raise $100 so I can keep accessing bare fucking minimum healthcare. (That $100 doesn't even cover my meds.) Please share and help if you're able. Thank you. 💙🏳️‍⚧️ (meme art for visibility)

I am extremely grateful, and have cried many tears. My November goal is still the focus now, but I'll need to raise just a little bit more than originally intended due to how much the vet bill came out to be. Thank you all for your continued love and support, it genuinely means the world to me!💙/end

I have to take my cat Phantom in for an emergency vet visit tomorrow. The topical I’ve been trying all week hasn’t been helping much. (It was a small spot at first so I assumed it was an acne issue.) I’m so stressed because all I have for $ is supposed to be for my healthcare next month. 😭

It's so disappointing when a game has such great potential and then you discover the developers used Gen AI slop in it. I downloaded the playtest for THE LIFT: Supernatural Handyman Simulator because it looked SO COOL! I was really enjoying the story, got 2hrs in, and then found this. Immediately /1

A thread from a different social platform because it’s important-

There’s no such things as “too young” when it comes to talking with kids about identity. (It’s actually a privilege to NOT discuss identity- non-white parents often HAVE to start those conversations young, especially here in the US.)
White text on a dark grey background that reads “If kids can see cisgender/heterosexual representation in all of their media as young kids (it’s in Bluey, it’s in all the classic Disney movies, it’s everywhere), then there is nothing wrong with talking to them about/introducing them to other gender and orient representation. Kids can have some grasp of their gender identity as early as age 3 (and that’s science backed)! Teaching children to be able to explore their identity is something we do anyway- it doesn’t just involve gender or who they might like. It also involves teaching them about their race, or if they’re being raised under a religion. And yet people only seem to have issue” White text on a dark grey background that reads “when it comes to gender or sexual orientation, and that’s extremely disappointing. Kids are smart, they learn quick, and it’s more harmful to keep them ignorant of things that are in no way harmful for them to learn. I know from experience just how detrimental withholding information from children can be- it took me until early 20s to start figuring out who I am. By then I had to spend close to $20,000 on medical procedures to have my exterior match the interior. Giving kids the chance to explore saves a lot of money AND mental misery in the long run. (It’s well documented that children are much less likely to be suicidal with support, and that includes supporting exploration of identity.)“

I feel absolutely treasured. Not only did @mrsgendered.bsky.social use their platform and artistic talent to raise money for me, their efforts got me $100 over my goal! I’ll be stashing that towards November’s doctor bills. Thank you to everyone who donated, I’m genuinely eternally grateful! 🥹😭💙

I know it’s early September so I shouldn’t be panicking, but I’m the kind of autistic who plans things in advance. The uncertainty of whether or not I’ll still be able to access my healthcare next month is SCARY. Please help in any way you can, it means so much to me! www.ko-fi.com/harlecryptid

I’m genuinely so exhausted having to ask for financial help (whether for myself or my family). I’ve been pretty much fundraising almost nonstop since 2022. I wish I didn’t have to again. Here’s a funny meme Cryptid (thanks @mrsgendered.bsky.social) for attention. 😅

Still only doing pop up streams right now (especially since my kiddo is starting online school this week and I’m the main help parent for that). Thanks for sticking with me while things are a little less solid! 💙

Made myself two styles of mask chains a month ago, figured I should get around to actually sharing them. The black chain with the body bits is my go-to (always a goth at heart) but I wanted to have a fancy space one too, just in case I was feeling extra fancy! #StillCovidingInStyle

Real late schedule post but better now than never? 😅🤣

All pop up streams this week, and they’ll all be coworking! The devs at @spiritcitylofi.bsky.social gifted me a key for the new All Aboard DLC, and I am going to make the most of it! Also keep your eyes peeled for a giveaway announcement… 👀
Key art from “Spirit City All Aboard! Expansion Pack”. A femme presenting person with pinkish purple hair sits on a train looking out the window. They’re wearing a greyish coat and over the ear headphones with stars on the sides. A black cat familiar with three eyes sits next to them. Text in the upper right reads “Spirit City All Aboard! Expansion Pack”. In the center is a gold frame with a darker interior and text that reads “August 24-30 Pop Up Coworking Streams Only. Any streams that happen will be announced on socials and Discord 10 min prior to going live.” On the right side of the picture is a Polaroid with a silhouette of Cryptid’s new PNG on the inside, mimicking the spirit Polaroids from the game.

Being able to have days planned for being together and having it documented. But I just don’t have the financial means to make something like that happen.

On a happy note, Gremlin tested negative yesterday & again today, so we’re pretty much in the clear. We went on a masked walk at a nearby park to get out of the house for a bit, it was needed! (Spouse & I have persistent coughing despite remaining negative, fingers crossed that goes away soon.)
