Given that the American regime is going to be saying some stupid shit about autism today, I want to circulate this essay as a sort of inoculation. please read and, if you learned something, share it with the people in your life.

Squidge’s Summer Sleepaway Camp Fundraiser

I'm over the moon to let everyone know that this year's annual fundraiser, the Summer Sleepaway Camp fundraiser has brought in $2,923.84.  That will definitely get us through the next twelve months of our hosting, legal, and other bills.  Thank you…

“Holy Shit” doesn’t quite say it… bit.ly/SPN20th

Do I know anyone in the SC area who knows someone (or *is* someone) who wants to adopt two cats? I desperately need to find a home for my parents' two cats. I already have three, so I can't take them. They are boarding at their vet while I look, and I have to go home to PA in less than a week.

I watch a lot of the ones you share, including ones I wouldn't usually, like Batman & your Kirk-posting 😄

I love fanvids & have tons of faves from the LJ days. Unfortunately, searching for them nowadays gets kinda overwhelming (especially on YT) & I only bother when a show/pairing really grabs me.

In case you missed it: In the last 24 hours, in celebration of #SPN’s 20th anniversary, thousands of people have donated more than $220k to @randomacts.org to show that the #SPNFamily continues to be a force for good in the world. (Holy shit — thank you, guys!!!)

Fight on! bit.ly/SPN20th

The Sentinel was one of my early fandoms, so I think I knew about the show first? fanfic was still pretty new to me - I followed web rings & fave authors into a lot of new fandoms (I went S&H>Pros>MfU/TS>DS>SGA/SPN) & don't remember reading AUs much until DS, but it was 20 years ago so...🤷🏼

It's Star Trek Day eve, and to celebrate I hosted a feast! 😋

I've been working on this idea for years, so it's fun to see it become a reality! 🤩

Happy #StarTrek Day! 🖖🏻

I'll add close ups in the comments for anyone who wants to take a closer look 👀

Two Important Updates!

First and foremost, while Squidge.org hosts the Jinjurly Podfic Archive, we do not control the domain name.  The domain name is still maintained by the original owner.  Having said that, the Jinjurly archive domain name expired - and all we can do is ask the current domain…

a bit later than I could have been, I'm kinda slow to accept change & didn't get an account until I was used to it (see also: LJ, DW, tumblr, every other site I used for months/years before finally making an account 😅)

I like my easy ID number, though 😁

ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT VINTAGE MCSHEP MANIP 10/10 NO NOTES

Yes waiter, I'll have a cup of tea, a scone, and if it's not too much trouble, perhaps some precedented times?

Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

my mom's also been trying to be supportive the last few years (unfortunately her decision to tell her siblings a while back, w/o warning me first, leaving me unprepared to deal with their scepticism & questions backfired a bit, but I appreciate that she tried 🙂)

at first thought there was no way I had ADHD, too, the descriptions never sounded like me - until I realised it sounded A LOT like my mom & I didn't notice most of the things I do to manage ADHD stuff b/c I either learned from her or from finding ways to help her, then AuDHD suddenly fit better 😂
