Hey, I go by Ari, or Stars in internet spaces.
I’m queer and a huge nerd. I cosplay, write, game, and LARP.
I’m learning to draw very slowly.
I’m not very good at social media but I remember it exists sometimes.

It’s been six months since my last update. I secured a fulltime job with benefits, for the first time in my life. I’m very lucky. Still living on a tight budget but not worried about being without a job again. Still larping. Still queer. Just trying to keep myself afloat at the moment, mentally.

I forget to actually update this app sometimes.
I secured a job and things are slowly stabilizing for me again. I’m also planning on going to momocon, thanks to some very good friends and my boyfriend.
Looking at some new larps for this year, too. Hopefully things keep going up.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

I was already excited for a Missio concert in March at the Masquerade but I just discovered it’s also featuring another band I fucking LOVE, Layto. This is now like…. My dream concert. And I get to go.

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

Tuta mail is a lot like gmail.
Libre office is good for sheets and docs.
Brave is another browser with a built VPN.
HereWeGo is a good gmaps alternative.
All of these are free or have a free version. There are options if you want to leave these companies.

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution grants Congress the power of the purse through the Appropriations Clause, which states, “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” This constitutes a violation of our Constitution.

If you're protesting tomorrow:
"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."
MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

Absolutely not a crime. Keep posting DOGE engineers names, pictures and info. We should know who the Nazi stooges are helping Musk and his tech broligarchs loot the government.

Lift up your black friends, colleagues, neighbors. Support black artists of all kinds. You should do this anyways, not just during Black History Month, but during this trying time it feels even more important.

Happy Black History Month! The current admin wouldn’t want you celebrating or observing it, so celebrate and observe it even harder.
