Hi, I'm Tara! I'm an audhd transbian from MD, an aspiring author who rediscovered a childhood love of writing. I've written one novel which will stay hidden forever, and am in the early stages of drafting a second one, which I might try to publish!

You're going to start hearing a lot of talk about moving in to crypto as a way to bypass payment processors and what I need all of you to understand is that Anybody Saying This Is Trying To Scam You. They Have Potentially Millions Of Dollars In Crypto They Can't Cash Out Unless You Buy It From Them.

Hello, I'm a musician in a film. I also have no other job, and my roommates are complaining about it all the time, but if they'd just pay for me to exist for a little longer I'll write that one song that makes it big and then I'll immediately be living my dreams
Hello, I am a writer in a film. I have no other job but I live alone in a 3000 sq ft apartment while I work on my sure-to-be-brilliant 2nd novel. My agent takes me out for lunch every week and my publisher puts me up in 5 star hotels when I do book signings. Which are all standing room only.
Hello, I am a scientist in a film. All my liquids are brightly coloured. The time it takes to perform tests and experiments is dependent on plot requirements, not biology or chemistry. Also, my safety glasses are extremely stylish.

Emily and Caiden would be great, though Caiden would struggle with being a best friend when he needs to be an authority figure
Retch would be a cool mom, the kind that lets her kid tattoo her arm at age 7
Bull would do the single dad thing really well and get so much unintended attention for it.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.
