she’s a terf troll blog trying to build a story arc about trans tumblr forcing her to suppress her lesbianism
there’s no logic in her saying that homosexuality is a disease that makes you miserable but being trans isn’t. no one actually thinks that way. it’s a parody of how terfs THINK trans people and trans allies act. hell, half of TRANS PEOPLE think being trans is a disease that makes us miserable.
she’s going to build a story where she ends up dating a man. mark my words–a GAY man. an ex gay man. this plot point will go on for some time until olivia comes out as a gay trans man. and oh, it’s a happy ending because she got over her internalized homophobia by denouncing lesbianism and becoming a trans man.
because that’s what the evil transes want. to convert your precious cis lesbians into straight female fujoshi trans men through the power of trans inclusive conversion therapy.
alright everyone mark your calanders.it’s may 12th 2018, 12am est. let’s see how long it takes this arc to come to fruition.
well that was faster than i thought
hello??? reblog this fucking post. i don’t like to watch people falling for transphobic scams.
hey all, it’s been a while, so i thought i would talk about my patreon again!
for those who don’t know, i’m chronically ill and have been for some years. writing is my greatest joy in life and it’s what i dedicate a great deal of my limited energy to. i love creating stories, both fanfic and original work alike.
my illness prevents me from being able to hold down a job, which brings us to my patreon. i have multiple concurrent fanwork projects that i adore writing, as well as some original projects that i’m slowly but surely piecing together.
for $1 per month, you get access to patreon-only posts, including writing updates and monthly overviews.
for $5 per month, you get access to snippets and sneak peaks of wip chapters and little bits of stories that aren’t posted elsewhere.
again, writing is my passion and i will continue to do it either way. that being said, money certainly helps me be able to prioritize writing more as well as manage my health expenses. if you’re able, please do consider supporting my work! every little bit helps. ☆☆
Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.
We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.
Here’s what you can do to save the internet:
In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win.Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.
Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.
This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help.
So here’s the deal: if AO3’s refusal to moderate offensive and sexually disturbing content is unacceptable to you, or you don’t feel safe there because of it, I will shell out $10/month for webhosting and do all the technical gruntwork to build you a small independent fanwork archive. It will run on WordPress + Writeshare + any other plugins you want. You, or the friends and mods you choose, will have complete control over policies, allowed/banned content, modding decisions, and every other aspect of running the archive. You’ll have complete control over the theme, tagging system, and other settings. The only thing I ask in return is that you not involve me in those decisions: my job is to provide the tech skills and funding and stay out of your way.
I’ll reblog later with some elaboration and reasons I’m offering, but that’s the gist of it. If you’re fed up with AO3 and you or your friends want to run an actively-moderated archive that weeds out unsafe content, I, a filthy degenerate anti-anti who nevertheless thinks you guys should be able to mod your own spaces, will take care of the resources end. Hit me up in reblogs or chat.
my (now ex) fiance has broken it off with me and he’s kicking me out and I have less than 30 days to find a place to live.
please email me at nomifawnpersylaverly@gmail.com or nomisupernovahkiin@gmail.com and we can talk about a place to stay.
i just need a roof over my head, i’m terrified and soon i’ll be alone.
I’m 21 and I’m a disabled transmasc person and I live in Marseilles, IL.
I’ll be able to take up extremely temporary residence with my mother but her house is dangerous to my health and I cannot stay with her for longer than a month or two. I can’t work and I live entirely off of donations.
please help me. i have no friends that aren’t a four hour drive away. if i can just get enough for a taxi and a uhaul, i can stay with that friend, but I don’t have enough for that right now.
but i need a temporary living place in the meantime. please contact me if you think you might be able to get me some place to go that isn’t a homeless shelter.

FAQ
What’s a Big Bang?
A Big Bang
is a fandom challenge where writers and artists collaborate to create
fanworks over a set period of time. You do not have to be at any
specific skill level to join!
Where do I reach you?
Email me at hiveswapbigbang@gmail.com or reach me through ask! I’m here to help. There are no silly, dumb or bad questions.
What can I make?
Writers:
Tier one (Birdgeoning talent): 2,000 words

All works must be able to stand on their own! Sequels and such are fine
as long as they’re comprehensible without having to read up on previous
works.
~ In the spirit of adventure and fairness all summaries
will be anonymous, which is why works that have been posted elsewhere
are not eligible for this event!
~ Exceptions to this rule can be
made if you’ve written something that’s largely unfinished and unposted.
If you feel like your work falls in this category contact me and we’ll
work something out!
~ You can, however, post about what you’re writing! Snippets, teasers and such are wonderful. Don’t
spoil your work or point to what summary is yours to make sure you can
stay reasonably anonymous during claims. The reveal is part of the fun!
’I’m writing fic about [x] and [y]! I love this ship’ and ’I’m doing an essay and it’s turning out great’ is fine!
’[x] is my fic’ and ’[x] is my summary, it’s about [y]’ is not. If in doubt reach out! I’m here to help.
Artists:
Tier one (Let the rumpus commence): One artwork
Tier two (May I have this dance?): One artwork or two smaller ones
Tier three (It’s a living): Two artworks
Tier four (Don’t encourage him): Three artworks
Tier five (Sequence breaker): Five artworks
~
Digital and traditional art are both welcome! Please make sure to scan
traditional pieces or take high quality images. Blurry phone pics are
cool for cryptids, not for us.
~ Complex backgrounds and full colour are not required. Grayscale and b&w are fine!
~ Post as many previews and teasers as you’d like but hold back on posting your finished piece(s).
Other:
~
Including but not limited to: gif makers, musicians (making remixes,
songs or playlists), animators, podfic and audio wizards, video editing
folks and cosplayers!
~ If you sign up in this
category please email me/send me an ask with what you’d like to do and
we’ll get you sorted! I don’t bite, promise.
How do claims work?
There will be more information on this as the date approaches but here’s a short rundown:
– Writers turn in their summaries and they’re posted anonymously
– Summaries are looked over by artists
– Artists send in their top picks to claim a work
– Every work is (hopefully) claimed
– Additional claims open once every work has been partnered with an artist
– Claims close and everyone gets paired up
What if I already have a partner?
That’s
fine! Sign up and write your partner’s name on the form and cross off
on if you’d like to be included in art claims or not.
Can I write more than one work?
Absolutely!
If you feel like you have the time and energy you’re welcome to make as
many works as you want. There is no upper limit as long as you’re still able to meet the deadlines.
I signed up for one tier but I want to downgrade/upgrade to another!
No
worries! Let me know on the check ins and I’ll write it down. If you’ve
been partnered with an artist please make sure to tell them too!
Communication is key. In events like these it’s important to keep in
touch!
Can I claim more than one writer?
Yes! Keep in mind what you’ll be able to do and make sure you can turn things in on time!
I’m 18+ and I don’t want to be paired with minors/want to make content with a higher rating
Alright! Go to @hiveswapbbnsfw and sign up there instead.
What is a pinch hitter?
Pinch
hitters are people who step in when someone drops out/goes MIA and make
magic happen. They often work with tight deadlines or step in last
minute. They’re a godsend for any stressed out mod or lonesome
participant.
Pinch hitter sign ups will be open during the entire
event! If you sign up you will be put on a list and contacted as needed.
There’s no obligation to pinch hit and you can drop out any time!
I have another question!
Don’t
panic! Shoot me an ask or an email and I’ll get to you as soon as I
can. You can also check the #Answered tag to see if someone else asked
the same question.

I saw a sad facebook post from the gay bookstore back in Ann Arbor where I used to live about how they hadn’t sold any books that day so I went on their online store and bought a couple, and while you don’t get #deals like elsewhere online, I’d love it if y’all would consider buying your next gay book from them instead of like, Amazon.
Common Language is a great bookstore and while I’ve only been there once, I follow it on Instagram and really want to see it succeed!
Their most recent Facebook post (~9:30 PM, April 18):
A little update:
At last count we had 211 online orders over the last couple of days. We generally have a handful of online orders PER MONTH. And many days our in store sales are 3-5 books. In other words, this deluge is significantly more than we sell in a month. We are literally brought to tears by this outpouring.
About 80% of them have already been fulfilled and are on their way to you.
The other 20% require special attention (out of print book, book temporarily out of stock, etc.) or we need to pull together books from various sources. Some of you will be getting emails from me!
Our staff is three people and one dog. And while the dog is, perhaps, the world’s sweetest dog, he’s not much help in this task. The lack of opposable thumbs is a big hindrance to many bookstore tasks.
Mind you, we are not complaining. Having a surge which overwhelms our current resources is a great problem to have. Heartfelt thanks.
As I take a short break from fulfilling orders I wanted to share a few thoughts.
This is transformative.
We will be able to pay some bills which will steady the ship for a longer voyage. In our wildest dreams this surge would continue, we’d hire more people to handle the load, and the world would have a thriving honest-to-god queer bookstore.
But even if it doesn’t continue at this truly astonishing rate, having a regular flow on online orders would give the store a level of security we haven’t seen in a long time.
All of you did this. You made it happen. And you can be a part of making that dream come true. In fact, you can be the most important part of making that dream come true. You can be an ambassador.
It was, after all, an ambassador who made this happen.
When a friend talks about getting a book, steer them to us. Our mission is to create a safe space for LGBT people, a resource for a community, a place of equality for women, a place where black lives truly matter, a place where your gender is what you say it is, not what anyone else says it is.
Oh hello friends, I have relaunched my Patreon because, in these trying times, a dude’s gotta eat. I’m gonna be posting a lot of older stuff as I archive it, but also all of the new stuff I make as I make it! I hope you’ll sign up and help me go through my years and YEARS of work as I strive to make years and years MORE new work!
The first newest post up is viewable to everyone, even if you’re not a Patron, because that’s just how cool I am. I found a few comic pitch documents I made when looking to get FarFlüng published, so you can see an early version of that comic, plus another one I’d been working on.
All of the older posts are also still there, and you can access all of them for only $1. Ain’t that neat? And if you don’t want to pledge or simply can’t, you can still help me by reblogging this. I’d appreciate you if you did! Thanks for lookin’!
I am opening up a patreon as well as commissions for the time being and I’ve made a link with all the information you need to know; it can be found here (and at the top of my sidebar).
In summary I need to make a bit of extra cash to help work my way out of some debt that has been just fuckin murdering me creatively and I would appreciate anybody who helps me out. and as a bonus you’ll get SICK FICS out of it too!
I’m gonna put up the first patreon poll tomorrow or possibly Sunday so if that’s your flavor get while the getting’s good, otherwise, please hit me up for commissions! I already have a possible pending one in the wings and I’m only taking 2 a month for right now.
HELLO!
It’s no longer midnight and I’m slightly more coherent now so here’s the scoop
Support me on Patreon: You get to vote on my first priority projects, from stuff I currently have in the works to stuff I haven’t been planning to work on for a while. At higher tiers you get access to deleted scenes/”director’s cut” type content for stuff I’m working on.
Commission me: Send me money ($50 for 5k, $100 for 10k) to write ships or dynamics of your choice, the list of what I’m willing to do is in the commission post and if you have questions you can always hit me up. Additionally, commissioner requests “jump the line” of patreon, so they can commission me to work on projects already in the pipeline if they want.
Thanks for any support if you’re chipping in, it’s going to help me a shitload.
Storm’s super talented and her writing nourishes my life, you’d be real lucky to get on board imo 😉
