Okay, so, I didn't read a whole lot this month. Hear me out. I'm not mad about it. I got SO much crafting done across different mediums. Nothing to show for it, really, but I'm having so much fun being creative in a way I haven't felt in a very long time. I think I might actually be able to set up some type of tiny shop about it, too. Got my embroidery machine up and running in a way that allows me to create my own designs, and when I tell you the creative juices are flowing, boy howdy it's like a dam has broken. I also started pokemon Violet, and while that's slow going, I'm having a lot of fun with it. So, no I'm not mad at my reading habits this month.

In the Ravenous Dark by AM Strickland ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Phew. Okay. This was. A very bumpy ride. The first half was a slog, honestly, and the writing and pacing is not great, but the last third or so reminded me a lot of Beyond the Ruby Veil which was also not outstanding, but it was fun. Fucked up, feral lesbians. Poly family friendship going on. The plot is so basic, the magic neat, the worldbuilding lacking. I would not read it again, but at the end I'm not entirely mad I did.

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch ⭐️ - I don't even know what to say. I didn't expect to be wowed, I went in expecting no more than a mediocre thriller. What I got was A Book Written By A Man™️. How many times can a guy fridge one wife? Infinitely, apparently! I was semi on board until he started fighting his other selves. That was dumb as shit.

The Art of Prophecy by Wesley Chu ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - *Gordon Ramsay voice* Finally, a good fucking book. This took me most of the month to read, but I'm not mad about it. It was nice to sit quietly with this book, and while it took it's time, I never felt bored with it. I can't really pinpoint what keeps it from five stars, and maybe my rating will change in the future, but I did really enjoy this. It has a wonderful cast, everyone felt very real and well rounded, it was bloody, but never felt gratuitously so. It was a good book and I very much want to continue the series.

Favorite of the month was most definitely Art of the Prophecy. Kind of unfair because Dark Matter was such a disaster, but Ravenous Dark had it's perks. Mainly being batshit crazy and ending in polyamory.

My friends, as always, have been incredibly kind to me. I could not have gotten through the last couple months without them. Would like to do a couple of buddy reads in the coming months. I really did like taking my time with a longer book, and I think I'm ready to tackle the final book in the Rook and Rose trilogy. My library also finally got a copy of The Bone Maker on audio and while I haven't listened to an audiobook since December, I'm excited to give that a listen. As always, be kind whenever possible.

Hi I got 84 in the last two weeks, starting to run out of food money. Absolutely no gas money to get anywhere but yknow. Maybe the temp agency I'm talking to will give me some tolerable job tomorrow and I can ask a bus driver to let me on for free. ("Not my fault if you get a ticket." has been a common response.)

Last Push for Immigration

We're slated to leave at the end of November, and for everything we've managed to save, it's all going to travel expenses. We need help putting a down payment on somewhere to stay!

$455 / $3000

Kofi • Commissions • $ruckusthekid

I'm more than happy to work for it, and any help is appreciated. We're applying for asylum (where might be changing, Portugal resources are getting really slim), & our goal is to help other trans kids out of the country once we've figured out the process.

Thank you so so much for the support we've already received, and I'm honestly really excited to show y'all how it all goes down.

See ya soon!

More information about us, if you want it:

As a trans couple, my husband and I are really feeling the pressure to get out of the United States. We thought we could skim by where we are until we could leave, but he's been goaded by local police as they humiliated and condescended him in a back room for being trans, and I had my ID confiscated for saying male, and upon trying to get it reissued as female, I was kept after hours in the state trooper's office and surrounded by all residing cops left in the station as it was processed. We don't feel safe, if you can believe it.

We've flown by the seat of our pants a lot. We've been kicked out, homeless, manipulated and hurt by a lot of fucking people over the last five years, and we've always managed to make it work. I assume the same can be said for this; even if we don't get the money we need before we leave, we'll figure something out when we get there.

It's not ideal, having to do things like this, but we're in the middle of nowhere, in a food desert, and I have a highly restrictive diet that's really difficult to afford as it is. We've been trying to save for over a year now and only scraped up $2k with help. It's on par, if not over $1k each for us to fly, with our baggage & cats.

I'm doing my fuckin best and I'm willing to work for anything we make here, I'm just floundering to support us and get this together too with how absolutely shithole rancid the economy is.

No one owes us anything, there's no pressure to donate or commission me, but it would be an enormous pressure off of us to get this put together before we leave. Please.

so much of day to day life with disability is just being like “im not sure if this is better, but at least it’s different” when trying new ways of doing stuff 😭

[daftpatience]

one thing I have learned about being poor is that you cannot for a moment stop thinking about it

[antlershade]

hey uh. this month is extremely critical for me as i gear up to find a more stable work situation- i'll be going to conventions with the help of a friend to look for a small art business or collective to join. my health has been badly interfering with this. so any support i get within the next 2 weeks will have my eternal gratitude in return

[clansunsharp]

i appreciate people being cool about the fact that my clan is the dragon military instead of calling me a bootlicker or a fascist or whatever. idk if we've all just gotten older or i was in a particularly toxic online circle a couple years ago or both but yall are nice

[pigeon-behavior]

One day I'll write a book on this shit

Are any of my followers wheelchair users and if so could you guys give me some advice or resources for writing characters using wheelchairs living in a more urban/country side and wooded areas? And the types of modifications for older houses and those infuriating three steps some homes have to get into the house.. mostly looking for tips for writing/illustrating how fast a character can go when having to run from something especially through a more terrain heavy area

gooooood morning my loves today is my final day of unemployment (</3) what should i do with it

[wisdom-walks-alone]

I hate having poor socioeconomic status I hate not being able to do things I hate having to cut back on nice things or fun things because they'd be too expensive I hate putting off paying for things that would improve my life because anything more than 50 dollars on one item doesn't feel justified when spending 50 bucks every once in a while on things that aren't even necessary or useful shouldn't even be something I have to think twice about I hate looking at a grocery bill and having to dread having to pay for groceries again I hate feeling guilty for treating myself to a nice drink or snack or meal out because I could've had a more cost efficient meal and donated the rest to someone who needed it I hate not being able to help people out and spot up to even just 50 a month max to people in worse situations than me because I'm already skimping on myself to make it last longer I hate having to feel guilty for buying some extra food item or fun trinket or plush for myself every once in a while because if I'm not putting that towards food or some other necessity then I should be giving it to someone who needs it more when I should be able to do ALL of that together without it making a huge difference to my finances and if it didn't make a difference then I wouldn't even need to feel guilty I hate it here and I hate this fucking economy and I hate barely being at a functional enough level to do my schooling let alone have a job on top of it I should be able to do both but I CAN'T I can't even work if I also want to finish my education but then i shouldn't buy treats for myself if I'm not even actively making a paycheck right I should just spend it all on absolute necessities and giving to people who are literally in danger or homeless right maybe if the rich would pick up some of that so it doesn't fall on people like ME who just want to be able to have a few nice things and also enough food to eat and a place to stay that isn't literally falling apart or tiny as fuck or in the middle of nowhere I just want to be able to even COMMUTE to places but even that's either expensive inconvenient or BOTH I hate this fucking country I want to help other people but I can't even help myself and I can't even indulge in such small joys to make it bearable without feeling guilty over it because there's someone out there who probably needed that money more why should I have to feel guilty when there are literally so many rich people who can't even be assed to spare even 2% of the money they aren't even using I just want to be able to buy up to $300 worth of groceries in a month and still be able to do other things sometimes and have enough to spare if someone needs it FUCK
