My medication stocks are getting to within a month left and the fund has been (relatively) quiet lately so here’s your reminder that my entire transition is crowdfunded and if I run out entirely I get to experience the wondrous cocktail of Symptoms™ that is premature menopause for a second time.
So please consider either donating or spreading the word, or both, as is reasonably within your personal capacities.

ALTLike she literally eats people or at least their "life energy" and was found in a wet decrepit forgotten well as a shadow like being, that's just the witch in the well's new daughter I'm pretty sure.
The Witch is fond of children…

good evening officer
don’t tell social media if you went to protests or not(especially if you didn’t), don’t give cops an easy way to track down protesters. punk life advice
do people not understand that the point of legalizing sex work is regulating sex work. so that sex workers can like, be legally protected if they experience violence and such violence can be prevented by putting legal guard rails in place. instead of our current system that leaves sex workers with no recourse or protection
googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much
I actually, genuinely think social event aftercare would fix me. I need someone to put me to bed and say "you were fun today and no one hated you"
#theres a thing called 'larp drop' thats essentially this#esp since when having a great time you might be more inclined to disregard your limits and ignore discomfort#(and forget to eat/drink if its larp whoops)#and then once you have a moment to yourself it all comes crashing in#source: once forgot to eat at larp and had a sobbing fit in my car that ended the instant i bit into a chicken nugget - @queerfarmgremlin
A couple weeks ago I was practicing my owl calls on a night hike and I successfully called in a barred owl. My owl call is pretty good, but I've never called an owl to me from afar because I rarely do night hikes and so I don't get much chance to. I had expected to be really excited about this, especially since two of my coworkers are really skilled at owl calls and they don't usually get a response, much less a full conversation, but instead I felt so guilty. I eventually had to start ignoring this poor deceived owl that was following my call through the park. I felt like I catfished him.
ALTI was gonna say "who among us would follow an inhuman voice in the forest yelling HEY, HEY YOU WHAT'S UP?" but then I remembered this website has me pigeonholed as Most Likely To Be Taken By The Fae. So. Yeah fair enough to this owl, I would probably do the same.
ALTMore fae trivia: Changelings are, as the name might suggest, extremely capable of shapeshifting and mimicry, a knack colloquially referred to simply as “changing”.
This ability serves them quite well early in life to better adapt to their environmental conditions, but the ability fades over time as it becomes less imminently-vital. Once you’ve figured out what you need to in order to get by, you seldom have cause to change further, after all. So they pick up the things they need early in life, like the right number of limbs and fingers and such, the right tolerances and sensitivities, the right speech patterns, the right social behaviours to not get them yelled at too much, etc. etc. and gradually their form settles into a more rigid equilibrium.
As a result, most adult changelings can only shapeshift in minor ways, if at all.
An influx of magic can give them a much-needed kick to pull off a reasonably-significant changing however, and a lot of them use this capacity to fine-tune things more to their matured likings.

Asking the right questions
The person I have to talk to about getting trans issues in the UK improved somewhat at the local party office is a former headteacher with a couple decades experience collaborating with the police (and about 8 whole months of political experience) and I swear to Danu she thinks I'm barely 20 years old because she absolutely talks to me like a student trying to get out of doing an exam. Like she'll listen and plainly demonstrate she knows diddly heck about what I'm talking about, then turn around and say she can't do anything to help whatsoever.
I literally handed her 22 pages, with citation, on the current major headline issues for trans people young and old in this country, complete with historical basis from events at least 23 years ago, and explicit reasonable recommendations for what to do right now to help improve matters.
She actually got aggravated every time I remotely grazed the notion of policy change, because apparently she didn't think I could be any kind of authority on political agenda.
Madam, I know you're as old as the moon landings, so I appreciate that it might be hard to gauge, but I survived the Thatcher administration.
I could go on and on about the fae duty to humble mortals and oh I’m actually older than dirt and all that, but really, cards on the table, here’s some advice:
Never doubt the assessments of the LGBT community when it comes to politics.
We have survived at least one life-or-death crisis per country per decade, usually more, and we know what every sign looks like and what every outcome is going to be. Our elders are treated with due respect because they are living historical records of what happened and how it didn’t succeed at killing us all. And we’ve suffered so much persecution and censorship that we basically have our own communication networks just for sex ed and medical treatment. We know all these things, or we die.
To put it mildly, we know our s#*t.
And no matter what cishet life you’ve lead for decades longer than any individual LGBT person, you absolutely do not know how to play this game better than us.
