The last days of the petition against conversion therapy are FASCINATING to watch. I have been following it pretty closely for almost a year now, and the progress was, above all, steady. There was this jump when some algorithm in Finland picked it up, but even that was local.

And now, everyone is panicking.

Which really shows.

These past three or four days, multiple countries have reached the threshold. Even more notably, the number of signatures in total, the ones that we need to get one million of, are growing rapidly. There are only 400'000 signatures missing. Two days ago, it was closer to 600'000.

You can see the progress here:

Consider joining the fun by making everyone around you sign it!

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

Uk peeps!! Let’s get this going! 🏳️‍⚧️🇬🇧

So I don't post here much, and when I do it's not about my personal life. What you could learn about me, through reblogs and posts, is that I like Sally Face. I like FNAF and Red Queen and The Hunger Games and Taylor Swift and writing.

But what else is there? Well, I'm an American. I am a queer American, specifically an asexual lesbian. I am too young to vote and I live in the south. I am scared. The chances of us winning are slim to none in this election. He had 267 electoral votes as I write this.

I am scared shitless. I do not have faith in my country. In my state. I was promised the "American Dream" when I was born, and I have watched that dream die every single day under his, under trump's, influence.

I am scared of being killed. In school, for being queer, for being a woman. I am scared for my friends who aren't white. I am scared in every single cell of my body. I am scared in the way that a rabbit is when it sees the shadow of a hawk. I am scared in a visceral, animalistic way. And I am not dramatizing or catastrophizing. I have watched this man say that he will close borders and deport every single illegal immigrant, even if that means legal immigrants are caught up in it. I have watched him say the most demeaning, psychotic shit to women because he knows he can get away with it. I am scared for my life and the lives of my friends.

My name is Madelyn. I want to be a vet when I grow up. I want to move to Canada. I want to write books. I want a newfoundland dog named Bailey and a ragdoll cat named Mayo. I want two horses. My name is Madelyn. I want to get married to my amazing partner, who is not a cis man. I want to have a daughter named Eliza. I want to live a happy, exciting life. I want to live.

My name is Madelyn. And I am scared.

Are you intersex?

It would be a great help if you were to take this 14 question survey about the sorts of terminology you prefer!

This survey will be posted in other locations and intersex forums, feel free to spread it yourselves, I am looking for 385 responses, from a wide array of intersex people from different backgrounds. I intend to use the results of this survey in an informational website I am working on with the help of other intersex folk! If you are not intersex, you can help out by reblogging!

whoa your flags are pretty cool. my friend and i might make a collection of disability flags for people to find, can we put yours on the collection with a link to you?? (the ones for specific disabilities or combos like those disabled trans flags, not the really personal ones)

Sure! Send me the link to the collection once y'all compile it, I'd be really interested to see the work of others!

Another day, another crisis that we hope will be hilarious in comic-form one day: our ceiling collapsed today! Twice!

No kidding. Part of our bedroom and living room ceilings collapsed and the rest of the roof on that entire side of the building is sagging, so we're a LITTLE terrified we're going to be hurt or generally covered in plaster.

We need to budget for a hotel while we're getting the landlord to fix this (and maybe let us temporarily stay somewhere else [and doubly-hopefully not kick us out before we have someplace to stay.]) So! Any assistance would be highly appreciated while we're figuring out where we land. I was just excited to have Rx money earlier today, haha!

Thank you so much in advance, we'll keep everyone posted!

Patreon has laid off their security team

I know this isn't an update on my interactive fiction game but I just wanted interactive fiction creators and other people who have Patreons to be aware about this issue.

Whitney Merrill on Twitter: "Whoa @Patreon laid off their ENTIRE security team. Wouldn’t trust my data there. Also there’s some amazing talent to scoop up." / Twitter

For creators with a Patreon, I would recommend using a password manager to generate a randomly generated password so that when Patreon has (another) security breach, your password will be unique.

For creators that may want to migrate their Patreon content to another website, there is a WordPress plugin that can be used with a WordPress membership plugin that lets patrons access your content like on Patreon.

Ko-fi is also a good alternative that I know a lot of interactive fiction creators use for their work.

Hopefully there won't be any serious security breaches with Patreon but who knows what will happen...

Still on hiatus, but would like to wish y'all a VERY belated Pride Month and (currently living up to the meme) Wrath Month!

[distinct-disability-flags]

"Hello to all 300 of you," I say, sitting on the floor on my ripped airbed and sucking apple-banana puree out of a children's GoGo Squeez, "Hope y'all lives aren't kickin' your asses like mine is right now."

Have faith this hiatus will end... Eventually.
