asking for help with rent (hopefully last time?), boosts appreciated
finally have an apartment but due to "snowpocalypse" + bad luck w/ my partner's W2, we haven't been able to get work or tax refund money as fast as necessary :x we're finding jobs but we need to have $900 by the 1st and i dunno if we'll have enough in time.
if we make it thru this month + find work i think we'll be okay. help making rent this month would mean a lot ❤️ https://ko-fi.com/luminol #TransCrowdFund #DisabledCrowdfund
The mouse considered biting the cat, but she was ancient, had been ancient as long as mouse generations could remember. Instead, he left quietly, but not before twitching the curtain open wider, to allow more sun to brush over the cat’s bony flank.
There would be another time for the hunt.

There was a mouse to play with, but the cat was not so young anymore, and the sunbeam was wide and warm, and the mouse was a fighter, fierce the way they had not been when she was a kitten.
She lay down, just for a short nap.

@Elizafox Happy Birthgay!
Remember Judge Doom's plan from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"?
"I bought the Red Line so I could dismantle it!"
That /literally happened/ in the US (without the cartoon characters, naturally). Car manufacturers bought up and destroyed public transportation so people would drive their cars more.

Also!
It is maybe worth mentioning that I have 5 slots on my #kickstarter for manuscript critiques that have nothing to do with my book!
So if you're a writer who wants objective and in-depth feedback from someone who worked both for a literary agent and a literary scout evaluating manuscripts, please do back my project at the Writer Package level (£30 for 30 pages)

Tech industry and capitalism salt
I said it last time and I’ll say it again: abolish on-call. Limit an individual employee’s work hours. Any hour in which an employee is expected to do anything should be considered a full hour of paid time.
What’s that? You’re suddenly paying one guy 16hr of overtime a day? Yeah, imagine that. They’ve been working for you unpaid 16hr a day up until now.
If you need your crap maintained overnight, pay someone to maintain it overnight, FFS.
Man alive, I’m sick of this industry.
Taking 5 slots for simple, test pixelart commissions of avatars like mine, to be completed this evening.
3$ - flat colors
6$ - simple shading
9$ - highlights and shading
+ 3$ - alternate color schemes
I can do any (CGA, C64, pastels, custom, etc)
DM first!

Tip for those living in areas prone to power loss.
Keep big jugs of water in your freezer, if you have freezer space. if/when power goes out, use the fridge/freezer as little as possible, and transfer frozen water jugs to the fridge. This should help keep the temperature low enough to delay spoilage of food.
