Daily OpusEverything I write is freely rebloggable. Just keep the source and tell people about my books :D [Until I decide otherwise, my pronouns are Ze/Hir/Hirself. As in "Ze went to the shops to get hir medication hirself". Thank you for the respect.]
I’m making a new post, since the last seems to have outlived it’s usefulness. V2! I don’t know why posts make it to 2k and stop getting help.
Quick break down:
-I have making starter beading kits for FREE for all Native people who don’t have the opportunity to learn to bead another way. You do not have to be enrolled, you do not need to look a certain way, you are not required to be anything but a native, and at LEAST be reconnecting. (Also, please do not message me your blood quantum and life story. You can just say your tribe, or that you’re reconnecting. It’s fine, I promise.)
-This program requires ALLIES. You want to help supply beading supplies to native people, since this artistic ability is very important to native people, particularly those displaced by colonization? Yeah? Thought so! The cost for each box, plus the shipping, comes out to about $30. Every $30 donated means another person gets a box. This program has already given out ~40 or so boxes– Imagine all the people that are being touched by this! Donation links are down below.

A man walk down the crossroad late that night that when he ran into a beast in black. The beast spoke “Boy that’s a heavy load you have on your back, I can take care of your troubles and your worry woes, all you gotta is sign.” Man said “beast I do believe another devil beat you to it this time. I do wish I had something to give but ‘fraid I’m sold out. If you ain’t looking for the walking dead better find yourself another town. But if your still looking for my soul just wander down this road to a small house to the right. Cuz devil I’ve already lost my soul to devil with emerald eyes.“ – Anon Guest
[AN - ISTG those are lyrics for something but a quick search can’t find it. This has rhythm and meter… I can firkin hear Johnny Cash singing this.]
All the Tieflings were gone. So too were all those people who loved them anyway. This should have been a relief to the world because now they could tell the difference between a Fel fiend and someone who just happened to look a little bit like one. It should have been a relief for ordinary and decent folk, but one had become a statistical outlier. It wasn’t his fault. He fell in love with a Tiefling Bard just before the miracle they were calling the Fel Exile.
She had eyes of emerald green, and skin the colour of royal robes. Hair the colour of a raven’s wing that fell in luxurious curls. And her voice… he would never forget her voice. It didn’t belong in a devil’s throat. When Dan learned that all Tieflings and all unwanted peoples were sent away from decent folk by a concatenation of Wishes, he knew why she had gone. What he didn’t understand was how he had been left out of the phrasing, "and those who love them.” She was gone, and he was left sadder without her.
Dan sold everything he didn’t need and stocked up for a long journey. He didn’t care for a home without her in it. He didn’t want his family telling him it was just infatuation and he would get over her. The first part of his quest was finding out where the devils and all who were like them had been sent. And it was on that journey that he met a genuine fiend.
PSA: please do not take out a personal loan even if your favorite podcast family says you should
i don’t listen to mcelroy podcasts these days so i didn’t know about this before now, but i am… rather alarmed they are advertising for Upstart, a predatory loan company, targeted at their young, parasocial-leaning fanbase during a global pandemic that has taken a huge financial toll on people.
this thread on reddit goes into more detail about why this is so bad (with links to many more sources).
i repeat. do not take out a personal loan no matter what your fave podcaster says about it.
This is the first I’m hearing about this since I always skip the ad breaks but hey uhhhh what the fuck lmao.
Here’s John Oliver’s video about this type of predatory lending (about 17 minutes long) if that’s more your speed.
