Okay, seems a good time for a ✨Life Update✨

What up, I’m almost two years on HRT, three years post op for my top surgery, three months into my NEW JOB, and about five months into a long distance relationship (we’ve known each other for two years, I’m v smitten, I have to stop myself from proposing every other conversation, it’s probably fine).

Shit is wild and I love it. Put my back out in October because of my bed so I got a new one (bed, not back), which meant cleaning out my room for the first time in ten years! Now I have space to eventually move things around and I’m hoping it’ll all work out so that I start streaming on a more consistent schedule and from my room instead of my current set up (which is as simple as possible to allow for set break down).

Speaking of sets, I’m still not in film but do plan on starting the process for a driver’s licence so I can be better equipped for being a PA. A lot of it is “here transport this collection of stuff to this location and then come back and pick up something else”. I’m working for a surprisingly ethical corporation (or rather, more ethical than the place I was stuck in for 13 years) and I love it. The whole team is wonderful, my management team (which includes myself as I took a similar position that actually pays more) has one of my best friends from high school and we haven’t lost our spark! I’m very enamoured with the new job, too.

Basically I’m very happy right now and I hope that it’ll continue.

I’m noticing an increase in new fic writers on AO3 who…uh…mayy not know how to format their fics correctly..so here is a quick and VERY important tip

Using a random fic of mine as example..

The left example: ✅✅✅

The right example: ❌❌❌

Idk how many times I’ve read a good fic summary and been so excited to read before clicking on it and being met with an ugly wall of text. When I see a huge text brick with zero full line breaks my eyes blur and I just siiiigh bc either I click out immediately or I grin and bear it…it’s insufferable!

If a new character speaks, you need a line break. If you notice a paragraph is becoming too large, go ahead and make a line break and/or maybe reconfigure the paragraph to flow better. I’m not a pro writer or even a huge fic writer but…please…ty…

This is a good thing to keep in mind! It is often and unfortunate that a really good fic doesn’t get love because its formatting makes it too difficult to read!

I think I figured out why this happens!

AO3's posting form has two modes: Rich Text and HTML. the vast majority of people write in Rich Text editors, aka any normal word processing software (MS Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages, what have you). but when you first open it, the posting form opens in HTML view. if you paste formatted text into HTML view, it erases every piece of formatting, including paragraph spacing.

this is an easy fix. when you go to post your fic, make sure the posting form looks like this:

not like this:

and please spread the word! this is an important piece of computer literacy that nobody is teaching to the new generations and they deserve to know

Oh, if you're posting by copying from tumblr and pasting to AO3, use Rich Text. It'll keep the paragraph spacing. If you don't, you get the jammed up version.

Just want to add, if you post in HTML you can still go in there and add line breaks/paragraph breaks.

Sometimes I have to adjust the breaks in rich text, too. Point is you don't have to leave a wall of text as-is. You can fix that before posting. Please do!

I hate correcting customers who call me ma'am and miss and honey over the phone, because only about 30 percent of the time do they apologize and start calling me sir, while 70 percent of the time they double down assuming I was trans and continue misgendering me on purpose to show how little respect they have for me as a human being. "Thank you, MISS."

I'm a cis man, for the record.

Whenever I correct someone and they keep it up, I simply refuse service. "Oh, I'm sorry, we're completeley booked up the day you wanted. Yeah, no, we're booked up on your backup dates too. Looks like our next opening isn't until, hmm, mid-November. Oh, but it doesn't have enough beds for your party. We could probably fit you in around New Years, but you'd have to change rooms every day. You might wanna try [more expensive motel] a few blocks north of us, they might have vacancies. Have a good day."

I've been able to dodge what few complaints we've gotten so far because they all tell my boss that they just spoke to a very nasty woman, and she has no idea who they're talking about. "You must have dialed the wrong number, because I'm the only woman here, and I didn't talk to you." That PISSES THEM OFF, and she doesn't understand why they respond with "well we've been staying there for years, but we're never coming back." They think she's protecting me, an afab trans man, and are disgusted by it, but from her perspective they're just crazy people who are complaining about made up bullshit; it doesn't even cross her mind that they're talking about me. Why would it?

My boss is like 70 or 75, and was a Republican until 2016. It's never come up in conversation, but something tells me she wouldn't exactly be a trans ally. I'm in a weird position here, and it's hilarious.

Please make art. You don't have to bare your soul or make a masterpiece, you can be silly and you can be derivative if you want. You don't even have to show it to anyone. Just please make something, it's so good for you

I'm trying to fundraise towards my next debt payment, which is luckily less than it usually is

The link above goes to my donation goal on Ko-fi, which is 500 CAD, but I also have PayPal, or you can DM me for my e-transfer info

A bit about me, I'm a brown disabled lesbian living on disability payments and trying to keep up with paying off my debt as well as save up to move out of an unhealthy living situation

Every little bit (including sharing this) helps!

"you do not get to assign me an identity just so you can attack me for it." is so raw and powerful, holy shit. This is a great sentence I would like to put in my quotebook.
