A mutual aid post.
Help a Black Trans Parent survive
I'm a single parent who has been out of work despite looking for years. I've been trying to take on freelance work in an effort to keep myself afloat, but that's unreliable.
Bills, however, are not. I need to secure $ 1,375 to pay rent and get food for myself and my little one. Please share! Any and all help is deeply appreciated.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

She has a warm green complexion with some moles on her face, big teal eyes looking at the camera and brown medium-lenght braids. Kelp-like horns grow from behind her head and between the horns there is a gold headdress shaped like a chrysanthemum. She wears big round gold earrings. The dress she is wearing is dark green with white rectangular collars and brown leather parts such as a corset and cuffs. There are gold buttons on her puff sleeves. She is holding a big nondescript open book with one hand and her other hand is close to her face.
The background is dark brown with different warm color tones. There are paper triangle flags hanging behind her but in front of the bookstore. End ID.

A digital waist-up artwork of a feminine smiling character with one hand touching their jawline gently while being under the apricot tree with a graveyard in the background.

Ed, this is WILD, and I really don’t understand why anyone would make up such a peculiar story?! πŸ˜‚

I’m sorry that someone is doing this, for whatever bizarre reason that they are.

Spreading lies and gossip WILL come back to bite whoever is responsible, I’m sure. I hope they reflect and stop.

It has been said before. I will say it again.

The way this TTRPG β€œcommunity” treats Black women, femmes & NBs is a fucking disgrace.

What do we have to do to prove our pain is real? How much blood to we have to publicly spill?

It’s a miracle some of us are still standing.

I rarely post this, because I don't consider myself an influencer (I just make stuff).

That said, I have a starter pack here on BSky of creators whose content I actually use in my home games. It's nothing more and nothing less. I use these people's products. go.bsky.app/VJbfVKV
