Hey y’all, my partner @un-awarewolf and I are moving back to Minnesota from Colorado in early November & could use help covering moving costs. Our goal is $3500 to cover the truck rental, movers, travel, & housing costs when we get there as both of our work situations are uncertain atm. We’ve both been dealing with reduced work hours due to chronic health issues & bills have been piling up so anything helps, even just boosting this post.

also, if you donate $20 or more you can pick a pair of earrings from this post or I can make you something custom! just leave a reply or send me an ask if you’re interested 🧡

$245/$3500

Please Share and Donate if you can!

I drew the cover banner for our GoFundMe! I am also open for pet portrait commissions. If you send a donation of at least $35, message me and I will draw a picture of your pet!

one week from the move! raised our goal to $4000 because things are turning out to be more expensive than expected but we’re almost there!

$3220/4000

thinking again about mp100 as an autism allegory again. thinking about how mob clearly demonstrates low empathy but has high levels of compassion, and how important that is for him as a character and to low-empathy people who love the story

like. the LOL cult arc clearly demonstrates that he almost never mirrors or “feels” others’ emotions, even when doing so would benefit him. he feels like he’s a bad person, deeply so, and his rigidity about not using psychic powers on other people is often the only thing that he feels redeems him at all. (which is also extremely autistic of him.)

and yet - AND YET - he chooses, consistently, to be kind. he has to consciously think about being kind, to “pick up things that are important” to him, but he does it anyway. he cares about others, even when he can’t feel what they’re feeling. because he’s a good person. and that’s a pretty great depiction of what being a low-empathy autistic person is like.

glad that much of the conversation I've seen on here about Renee Good contextualizes her death within the rampant killing of people (especially Black, immigrant, and indigenous people) by ICE, police, and other armed actors of the state going back literally the entire existence of the US, with particular attention to the very recent deaths that were less reported due to a combination of being racialized victims and not having clear footage that fascists could circulate as titillating snuff film propaganda.

surprised that I haven't seen anyone mention that Renee Good is a lesbian, or that her butch partner was present during the murder, and the role that gender is playing in this particular moment of rallying the far right. it took me until a couple days ago to even learn that, actually, or that fascists are using AI to 'undress' Good in order to symbolically use her body as a sex object--creating a public show of the "bitch" forcibly brought back into patriarchy through death and sexual violence.

the racial and gendered politics of why her killing is hypervisible in the news cycle are deeply interrelated, imo. the white nationalist project that seeks the simultaneous expulsion and torture of racialized subjects is the very same whose anxieties around "white birth rates" has animated legislation to escalate the restriction of healthcare that impacts sexed characteristics (abortion, gender affirming care, puberty blockers, etc) and target populations acting against sexgender assignment.

lesbianism among those assigned female at birth has largely been assimilated within the cisgender class for the last 50 years or so (excepting those of us who outright reject assignment and/or pursue the medical changing of sexed traits, who are still transsexualized), but imo what we're seeing is that, within this far right movement that is obsessed with controlling birth within patriarchal marriage, a cis lesbian's death can stand in for a larger propaganda of the rightful punishment for the rejection of sex assignment (which is implicitly understood to threaten the white nationalist project).

Laura Loomer posted shortly after her death calling Good a “communist carpet-muncher.” They are gleeful at the prospect of murdering lesbians, regardless of perceived respectability. The “carpet-muncher” becomes disposable, subhuman, degenerate.

I don’t disagree with any of that but Renee Good was bisexual (she had two ex husbands) which has been actively erased by even progressive media. It would be nice if we could all acknowledge it instead of erasing it within the community. It doesn’t even require to change any other word in the post because everything that was said applies to bisexual women as well.

my apologies, it must have been reported wrong where I saw it. agree that it still all very much applies

They’re being incredibly blatant about the sexual politics of Good’s murder. Also, I absolutely agree that op’s analysis applies equally well to bisexual women (and that biphobic violence is frequently erased) but for what it’s worth I also have two ex-husbands and am very much a lesbian, so I think unless Good talked about herself as such we probably just don’t know.

I seem to be living a very expensive lifestyle called eating food regularly

The new autistic Barbie is making a bunch of level 1/low support autistic people just come out of the woodwork to just openly talk about how they just hate the idea of level 2 or 3/high support needs autistic girls just having any scrap of positive attention. They have such weird internalized issues with even being seen as in the same community with people who need more support than them.

It’s not a neutral thing that every ‘redesign’ or ‘fixed’ version of the doll from level 1/low support autistic people gets rid of her disability aids, specifically her AAC device.

This is a doll specifically meant for level 2 or 3/high support autistic girls, a doll to make them feel seen because the rest of society is so hostile to them. The fact some people saw these girls getting one scrap of positive representation and then got mad because it wasn’t about them really says a lot about how people don’t even consider these girls as humans worthy of respect and kindness.

From the article:

European Union microplastic rules are working. They have changed how companies make and use plastics across dozens of industries. The regulations aim to eliminate microplastics that pollute oceans, soil, and even the human body.

The EU microplastic ban regulations started in 2023 through a law called REACH. These rules will remove microplastics from face scrubs, laundry detergent, paints, cosmetics, agricultural products, and many other items by 2035. Companies must now find alternatives that break down naturally instead of lasting hundreds of years in the environment.

The regulations define microplastics as tiny pieces of synthetic polymer that don’t break down. This clear definition helps companies know exactly what they need to replace. Industries are responding by creating biodegradable materials that decompose into water, carbon dioxide, and natural matter within months instead of centuries.

Market research firm IDTechEx studied these changes in their report Microplastics 2025: Regulations, Technologies, and Alternatives. Their analysis shows how EU microplastic ban regulations are speeding up the development of earth-friendly plastic alternatives throughout Europe and beyond.
