A Stripe rep hung up on me when they realized they told me they're disallowing "LGBTQ content" in transactions, so either they're slipping up more or just being more honest about their real intentions.

Keep the pressure up, keep calling, maybe start recording what they're telling you.
Did you call your censorious overlords today? Don't forget to complete your dailies!!

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!

And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!

We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

Opening up temporary commissions to help cover some upcoming costs.

If you are also low on funds but want to commission me, reach out anyway! I'm sure we can figure out something in your budget range!

Reposts are very much welcomed for visibility. I've had literally no responses so far which is depressing.
Finyancial/life #academia #queer advice request:

Postdoc contract is set to end mid-October. Have discussed with advisor with extending it if funding available.

but, as a trans woman in the US, is it even worth extending it rn?

If I don't, I would like to work in a research lab (maybe Canada)
