Commission Info!

Since a couple of you have asked, here is my big official commission info page. For those new here: I do writing and editing services! There are a few examples of my writing on patreon as well as some of my fic on ao3.

Wanna flesh out a DnD character's backstory? Ever have an idea you wish would just write itself? Are you looking for a fresh pair of eyeballs to catch all of your typos and stuff? I can absolutely help with that. :D

For writing, I charge five cents per word. For editing, I do $25 per every 1000 words. This includes line editing and content editing.

Feel free to contact me at rainbowbarnacle@gmail.com to discuss details. (word length, subject matter, all that fun stuff!)

Also, if you'd like to throw some money toward Beatrix's vet bills or just grab me a coffee, I have a kofi too!

Thank you tons. <3

Bonus tip : you can add an egg (or more) to make hard boiled eggs at the same time (to eat now or later)

Bonus tip #2 : you can cook half rice, half quinoa/small green lentils (takes the same time)

I'm making this right now (rice cooker is on) with frozen veg because that's what I had, don't know if it will work but holy shit it smells amazing

In 2016, years before long COVID was a thing, the US National Institutes of Health, the largest single public funder of medical research in the world, launched a study into a long-neglected and puzzling condition: chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, or ME/CFS. Eight years later, the results of that study are finally out. In one of the most thorough investigations to date, researchers took a deep dive into a small group of 17 people who developed ME/CFS after an infection and found distinct biological differences compared to 21 healthy controls. "Overall, what we show is that ME/CFS is unambiguously biological, with multiple organ systems affected," neurologist Avindra Nath, lead researcher of the study and clinical director of NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), said in an interview with JAMA. For decades, many doctors had dismissed ME/CFS as a psychosomatic condition that was 'all in patients' heads'. Now there is little doubt: a host of biological changes underpin ME/CFS.

My last post on this didn’t get a ton of traction so I’m trying again. The latest budget proposal for NYC includes a $58.3 million cut to public libraries.

Previous cuts forced NYC public libraries to close on Sundays, and this further round of cuts would likely force libraries to end weekend service entirely. Additionally, it would mean further cuts to programming and the indefinite delay of reopening libraries that have been closed for renovation, which would leave entire neighborhoods without a library.

There is a preliminary budget hearing on May 21, and until then libraries are asking people to sign a letter here to urge the mayor’s office and city council to reverse the cuts.

I know things are terrible in a lot of ways right now and people probably feel overwhelmed and burnt out, but signing this letter (or reblogging this post) is a small, quick, concrete way to make a difference.

I realized I mentioned this in the last post but not in this one: this budget proposal exists as of May 10, 2024. If you signed a letter a few months or years ago (thank you!!) , that was a different letter-writing campaign about a different budget cut. Please sign again!!

Marble is a medium in which you can be horny on main and everyone’s like “wow that’s classy.”

I think having skills to construct flesh out of stone gives you as much right to be horny on main as any creator god.
