Friends:  Do some D&D art! Me:  Like this?

Being real for a moment, I really need to find some way to make more money. But everything I've ever attempted to that end has largely foundered, absolutely no-one has ever even considered hiring me, and this year so far is looking to be especially rough economically. There's just nothing I can do.

No job offers or listings, no jobs I could even reasonably do with everything I deal with on a daily basis, and I've never had a single idea that made what anyone would optimistically describe as "real money". The last few months it feels like I can't even get funds together for medication, let alone cover all my bills. Maybe it was over-optimistic to launch the bucket list campaign, but I really felt like I was going to need something to feel positive about this year and boy a month & a half in is really proving me right.

I get that basically everyone is in that boat right now but this has been the situation for me for basically a decade. I did okay for a bit but then economic aid got harshly curtailed and I've never gotten anything to work to cover the difference. The occasional commission piece just isn't enough.

Iunno, I'm just staring at accounts perpetually in the red costing me even more money in overdraft fees (because heck the poor apparently) and seeing two weeks to a benefit payment to a paycheque to a benefit payment and it just never seems to be enough no matter what I cut back on or reorganise. It's never been great but it feels like this year in particular is gunning to total me outright.

Here's my KoFi. I'm going to bed before I get more doom-spiral-y.

sherlock holmes deduces you are trans before you've figured it out yourself and refers to you with those pronouns and then when you look confused is like "ah...had you not arrived at that conclusion yet?" and wafts away in his dressing gown to smoke seventeen pipes, leaving you in a gender crisis

It's that time again where I need to restock the medication that the NHS won't give me unless I stay on a waiting list indefinitely to ultimately be asked about my masturbation habits and then, a year plus later, maybe be given the same meds for free.

I have been on that waiting list since before the pandemic, for frame of reference. Legally, I can't be made to wait more than 18 weeks. Instead I've waited 280 weeks.

when I think about it Kim Possible was extremely formative for my future tastes in media, possibly more than I ever realized

-was finally able to enjoy a girl action hero and fell for her so hard.

( I actually can't remember experiencing any media with a (consistently spotlighted) girl action hero before that? Possibly some books. When did I read protector of the small??? Post Kim Possible I think. Wait there was probably Charlie's Angels? I think that went over my head though I would have been ten and it isn't like. very good. so it didn't click.)

(The Paper Bag Princess. Does that count.)

-it was basically a superhero show, using a ton of tropes, foreshadowing my later love of superheros

-the general sense of humor, especially the way it had fun with hero villain traditions and tropes, the villains were so silly.

-the fact Kim doesn't have a secret identity and everyone just knows she runs off to save the world sometimes but everyone treats it as super normal still love that stuff

-hot mean goth lady who can kill you

-intense intimate rivalry between women where they're obsessed with each other

-animal sidekick who's more competent than everyone else, foreshadowing magical girl love

Yeah I think it was more formative than I ever really realized...

Why is “barely legal” pornography always about age? I think they should experiment with teetering on other types of illegality. For example, they could film just outside of a restricted military area.

Not to be autistic about old Australian television but this might well be one of the best gags they ever did on IMT

You ever look at some art your mutual made and you just sit there in stunned silence and awe that one of your friends is out there making jaw-dropping beautiful art just for the hell of it
