we're about to have a new phone, which means we can start pushing for putting it on a plan of our own, which means that our parents will have one less method of control and we can cut off their contact entirely by ditching our old number.

we have a patreon goal for roughly how much a pay-by-use Ting phone plan will be for us, but it'll probably be lower in most cases since we're on wifi so often.

additionally, we've made a wishlist at http://weld.eerie.garden/wishlist.html if ppl wanna send us money to get something, specific or not, that we've been wanting.

also, like, we spend on food delivery more than we'd like but as much as is necessary because we are disabled and sometimes can't cook, so. help is always appreciated.

and thanks always to everyone who does. yall make our life a lot better and it's amazing ✨

hey y'all

@BestGirlGrace and us decided to play a certain game trilogy about lawyers

come watch if you want!
(there's no game audio on episode 1. it'll be in episode 2!)

https://dialup.express/videos/watch/playlist/9071c7a7-74cc-4055-b6a6-b9e3911a36a2?videoId=6e02b377-c95f-43c5-9511-df7a2154e345&resume=true

so, we've just updated our patreon goals becaaaause

the insurance we presently have does not have copays 🎉 which means we don't have to pay $40 a month just on meds!!!

the goals are now reshaped a bit around that. we still appreciate any help we can get - this mostly just means now it goes to food first instead of meds, which... is nice!

we did still just pay $80 on new glasses and also we had to buy our cat litter and yeah

glad to have had the support we've had

multiple audio devices, which can pair to other devices, can't pair to our pixel 2 running android 10. we've tried resetting network settings, rebooting devices, rebooting the phone, and also changing between the bluetooth AVRC versions in developer options (seemed like the most likely option to have any effect).

the specific error every time is "couldn't connect because of incorrect PIN or passkey". sometimes this shows up alongside a "do you want to pair?" dialogue, interrupting or being interrupted by it, but choosing to pair on that dialogue does nothing. there is no actual prompt to enter a pin, and this happens, again, across multiple bluetooth devices which don't prompt for a pin on other phones and laptops.

should we assume there's a hardware fault, is there any further troubleshooting to do, or what?

yeah so, uh. we have had to pay out of pocket for multiple doctor appointments and an ultrasound of our chest. oh, and meds
in case you were wondering how the whole "not having insurance for June" situation is going

oh and also we've been getting overdraft fees because our bank account didn't get closed like it should have and we accidentally left it linked to our paypal so when we bought an accessibility tool (an automatic litterbox for our cat) we accidentally brought our bank account into the negatives instead of using our credit union.

so uh. yeah.

between all platforms, southern fried queer pride reached their goal and surpassed it, reaching $66,000 to fund a Black queer owned community space!
the space is guaranteed to be funded, but they've raised the goal to $100k for more resources to guarantee more accessibility and such!

https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-fund-a-black-queerowned-community-space
Cash App: $sfqpatl
Venmo: @tayloralxndr
PayPal: paypal.me/sfqpdonate

does anyone have good like "very much first projects" type blender tutorials which have closed captions or are text/images only, and won't be confusing for us while we use blender 2.82?

sometimes we see ppl lament not being able to verify single devices when they enable cross signing, so, a quick tutorial as we found this out recently

1. click on "members" in the chat
2. click the user
3. below the "verify" button that will request an interactive prompt only, click "[number] sessions"
4. click the individual session
5. "manually verify by text"

fuck yeah! the fundraiser for a Black queer owned community space in Atlanta by Southern Fried Queer Pride hit the halfway mark when including donations not through gofundme!!

copying from their post when they hit $16k in one day, here's the links, including some not through gofundme!!

Continue to donate here: http://bit.ly/sfqpcc
Or via Cash App: $sfqpatl⁠
Or via Venmo: @ tayloralxndr⁠
Or via PayPal: http.//paypal.me/sfqpdonate⁠
Yes, all donations are tax deductible.⁠

hey, southern fried queer pride just sent out an email and put up a gofundme for creating a Black queer owned community space

https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-fund-a-black-queerowned-community-space
this'll be in Atlanta, as SFQP is mostly based in Atlanta with some stuff also in Durham NC.

random update on this: we won't have insurance for the next month apparently, so if you wanna support us on patreon or whatever, it will REALLY fucking help in case we need to pay a medical bill out of pocket

can you think of an object in space which has a name starting with the letter H?

(just over) a year ago we wrote We're Going to Need a Bigger Bed, our polyamorous shipping one-blog-post tabletop RPG

it is still yet to be playtested!
https://weld.eerie.garden/blog/2019/05/13/bigger-bed here it is ✨

https://red-onyx-music.xyz/blog/music/release/mx_ace_fucking_jaycee/2020/04/22/release-traumatic_neuroma_by_the_weld_system.html
just thought we should post about it ourselves too and not just have the netlabel post boosted!

as always our albums are in public domain and we ask that you pay what you can, but you're welcome to freely download 💚🖤💖💙

hi, we're on a new account!

if you're not aware already, we're disabled and not able to get benefits, but not really able to work. essentially, the only income we get comes from people, mainly here online.

we're lucky enough to live with people who cover our rent and utilities, so mostly we worry about paying the internet bill, but rent still is more worrying when 2 roommates are still forced to work (not from home, they're working retail and hotel stuff) with kinda a looming threat of "what if their jobs just Stop and they don't get pay"

regularly periodic stuff through things like patreon is really helpful for predictability, but any support we can get is helpful. thanks y'all!
