“And remember: you’re worth the time it takes to learn a new skill!”
oh my goodness I love her she’s so wholesome
Yeah! Her name is Mercury Stardust, and she’s a maintenance technician who gives tips and talks about renters’ rights. She also does burlesque shows! She’s mostly active on TikTok I think, but she has some other socials and a main website.
Her book, titled “Safe and Sound: A Renter-Friendly Guide to Home Repair” comes out in August 2023.
The book blurb, taken from the publisher’s website:
Dear Readers: As a transwoman, I’ve discovered (the hard way) that we live in a world with much to fear. But imagine fearing something as simple as asking for help. Imagine relying on others—landlords—to provide a basic human right, like housing, but knowing those same people believe you’re an abomination because of your sexuality or gender identity. Imagine a world where reaching out for help is more than just a mundane task—it’s a game of chance. Sadly, for too many renters, this isn’t just a one-time moment of fear. For single moms, college students in a foreign town, and many others, a knock on the door can feel just as terrifying, even when you need the help. All renters deserve to feel empowered enough to take matters into their own hands. The skills I’ll show you how to develop will allow you to help friends, teach family members, and even assist a panicking neighbor—further empowering more people to take on tasks on their own. We all have a home—whether it’s made up of brick walls or plaster—filled with memories and dreams. Knowledge should pass through any barriers put up around it because a little bit of knowledge can go a long way toward making someone feel more in control of their own life. Your soon-to-be favorite virtual repair technician, Mercury Stardust, the Trans Handy Ma’am
She actually JUST retired from burlesque.
and she also just launched a podcast! the Handy Ma’am Hotline.

me when i meet the person who created webp files
It was google by the way, they thought it would be such a good file type it would replace the need for all other image files, that's why anything they own or partner with tries to force it on us though no art programs can even work with it.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!

Somehow from two different bookstores in two different states I have acquired two books that belonged to the same person..
If you're out there John Larrabee, hmu and we can talk about Tom Paine. Also I have your boarding pass from 2014 that you were taking notes on.
Found the dude's obituary
He's from the city the boarding pass was to and he died in 2022
May his memory be for a blessing.

I must say the author of the codex fluff story has managed the impossible: they managed not only the first canon appearance of a female custodes, but she also is a fan-favourite now.

You know a writer has hit the mark with their character when the community is already figuring out how to include Kesh in their favourite fanfiction.
