@welshpixie well, i missed the original incident (what an asshole!) but I’m glad you’ve come out okay and with some nice postcards to show for it!
I like how the stamp matches the main image on this one :)
@scoots @welshpixie @eishiya yep i was going to say i don’t know about the UK but square and venmo is the standard here in the US (you’re more likely to see square at places where the clientele is older while eg. university events will be mostly venmo)
I'm still working to get a public progress report from the OTW on what it's doing to protect fans of color from racist harassment on AO3.
The OTW Board says they're not saying anything until it's finalized. I say it's been a year and they've only posted one and a half updates and that's unacceptable.
You can read their full response, and my reply, at Tumblr: https://seepunkrun.tumblr.com/post/666216395452923904/ask-the-otw-for-an-anti-racism-update

This is also not the only anti lgbtq proposal thats been considered lately it appears, a very similar bill was considered in November of last year (also in response to a petition: https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/11/11/poland-lgbt-pride-ban-gay-life-family-foundation/ ) and the polish government has announced plans to ban queer people from adopting children: https://www.them.us/story/poland-planning-lgbtq-adoption-ban

Finally for Ace Week, if I'm allowed to self-promo a bit, I'm an asexual author who has published two books with asexual protagonists and ace romance.
