I am begging people to please care. This might be the last Christmas with my Grandma, and I can't get home because my car is dead. I am literally begging for help.
My workhorse Toyota Camry that I've had for 13 years finally died on me. I am trying to raise $8,000 towards a used Prius at a local dealership. Please help if you can, shares are help!
Currently at: $50/$8,000

Users of Gen AI climb on the backs of actual creators and stick flags between their shoulder blades, treating them like territory. Us and our work are just ladders to them. The only work they really want to do is to climb over us and claim our talent and abilities as their own.

solomonskalozub.blogspot.com/2025/12/tran... I threw this together as an easier reference for people looking for *something* featuring transmasculinity. I will eventually get back to doing essays for each individual media I mention here, but I felt this may aid people in finding the story they need!

Quentin Tarantino says 'There Will Be Blood' had a chance to be his greatest film of the 21st century if it didnt have Paul Dano in it
"it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but ... [Dano] is weak sauce, man ... He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest fucking actor in SAG [laughs]"

Plumber confirmed that the fuses blowing yesterday was due to the water heater and we need a new water heater. I did find the fuse for the water heater itself so we're good heating wise
(last night we had no light or heating in half the flat, which is less fun).
Wheee
Please buy my books?

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Trans people have literally always been here; every time I see someone sneering "oh but there were no trans people when I was in high school," well. I dated a trans girl in high school, and was close friends with a trans guy.
