(And if you don't depend on SNAP, many of these tips can help you reduce your food costs since its expensive out there rn)

ALSO... If you're disabled, and cooking is difficult for you, this channel posts many disability friendly meals that also tend to be relatively cheap.

Here's a link to a page for #jamaica #melissa relief support. There are already scam sites being set up so, for now, this is one of the legit ones set up by the government of Jamaica. Haven't heard anything from the Canadian government yet.

A remarkable, and ominous, satellite snapshot this evening of Hurricane #Melissa as it continues to move very slowly westward just south of #Jamaica. The storm will likely further strengthen into a Category 5 storm before turning northward & making landfall in Jamaica on Tue.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

Also, we're still here. Even though the paper genocide.

Oh, it's "Fuck You Columbus" Day? What a coincidence: I guess my ancestors passed through me as I was dropping this snarky-ass comment in my world-building notes before bed— lol, lmao even. As one says: "we lived, bitch." ✌🏽
(It's incidental: I was de-stubbing language pages.)

For #bweirdOCtober I wanted to combine "development week" to catch up, so let's go!
Day 6: I have a *lot* of family and friend groups, in my OCs. This is because people who get married often have families! For my sanity, however, I'm going to focus on the Iwasaki family. #OCsky #art +

Returning to my world-building nonsense now #LateNightWrite, thanks for the distraction!
I'm still working out whether I'm going to build a website or now, but for now my writing's still located on ToyHouse. If you want to read my con-world's in-universe articles, go here: toyhou.se/~world/92125...

Aw man that's not fair #LateNightWrite, anyways lmfao.
My narrator actually is a polyglot, so I'm actively working out "voice-claims" for xier (very actively, it's kind of insane). I've taken a break on it for reasons, but I guess this one might work.

#LateNightWrite since my main WIP has a few of the most ridiculously-yearning, rotate-in-head kind of madness in it, I guess I'll share some of those songs since they're ear-worms from hell. Also this WIP has three acts!
(Spoilers: these songs aren't, necessarily, from the narrator's perspective.) +
#LateNightWrite Pick a song you feel represents your story’s setting or plot. Feel free to explain your choice as much or as little as you like. :)

I saw "music" and I jumped on this fast #LateNightWrite. I have a *lot* of character playlists, and am in the process of moving my Spotify ones to YouTube (because *gestures widely*). It's complex and messy and here are a handful of them. (All vaguely-named on purpose; multi-lingual as all heck.)

Howdy #LateNightWrite, Cats here with another addition of "help I'm stuck extensively researching topics for world-building purposes and ignoring mostly everything else". This week is "weddings: why are they so complex?" (oh also I'm in the middle of some wedding-based short stories because 🤷🏽‍♂️, lol).
Happy Saturday and welcome to another #LateNightWrite! Let's start with Introductions, tell us about yourself and your WIP(s) in any way you like.

For #bweirdOCtober Day 5 I'm undecided on who's more under-appreciated, so I guess I'll show two.
Initially, I thought it was Sobangcha the gardener [he/it]: although he has story integration (though relatively ham-fisted, lmao), my plans with regards to drawing him completely stalled. #OCsky #art +

Cheapest #bweirdOCtober post time for Day 4: mascot.
Technically, all of my characters possess a shard of me, as I don't *perceive* myself— so instead of a per/fursona, I have a mascot trio. For this account, it's Catatante.
(Also it's miserable that the "Start of Covid vs now" train-trend is back.)
start of Covid versus now 👉🏽
(I swapped from Photoshop to Clip Studio Paint [Dec '20] and had a hard drive failure [Apr '21] since the pandemic started, so you get to see how Cats evolved visually. Left is mid-December '19, right is late March '24. Not very "now" on the latter, but it's thematic.)

Great things about alt text: accessibility, searchability, shows writing *is* an art as well.
Horrible things about alt text: you have it split between three different websites, all with varying alt text character limits, and need to spend hours cataloguing them proper.
(I'm on hour 4; send help.)

(Just spent 3 hours gathering alt text... Anyways!)
#bweirdOCtober Day 3: fav OC.
Right now, Nami [he/they] has taken control of my mind-palace as he is directly attached to *all* of my other current-fav OCs. Issue is, I don't have enough art of that traumatized twink— damn! #OCsky #art #writing +

#bweirdOCtober Day 2: old OC. I had to check my ToyHouse to see who's listed as the "oldest", as I have a lot of repurposed, old OCs; funnily enough, Ke'tlan is both listed as oldest and has retained his design the most, of the ancient OCs. He's a shape-shifter with identity issues, lol. #art #OCsky

Going to try to do #bweirdOCtober again, starting super late because yes. (Let's see how far I go this time.)
Day 1 is new OC, and Yukimura Ichirō* fits the bill! He's the latest OC that I've written, and has a minor (but important) role in my recently-finished story Loose Ends.

if you need a more detailed explainer/ideas for what to do for each prompt, you can find them in the text version on my website bweird.art/october

Thanks for the host #LateNightWrite! Maybe someday I'll move my stories off ToyHouse and get a dedicated site for my stories. That day isn't today, though!
These four are the newest. All 18+ because subject matter [explicit chapters labeled]; mind the content warnings. toyhou.se/Capseisen/li...

Because the WIP is so large, #LateNightWrite, my main character has become a role model [in Act 1] and had role models [in Act 2]. In Act 1, though, the only person xie could say was a role model was xier second roommate, Lumi: born profoundly Deaf, and forced to hear, she owned her differences.+
