I have created a account for donations to me. I intend to use any monies to cover my open-source work, and for hosting this instance. liberapay.com/phessler/

Since donations through the service are anonymous, I don't know if, or how much, people have donated.

#Pride Month is over, but I want to leave y'all with one thought about visibility.

When I was young, I didn't know what #bisexual meant—thought I was a broken straight.

I want people to see me and know that being bi+ doesn't have a damn thing to do with your ability to love as you will, including the possibility of being in an awesome relationship like the one I've had for over twenty years.

I want some young bisexual to know that and not beat themselves up for decades. I want them to love themselves. ❤️

Separate the art from the artist?

If you're eating tortilla chips or pretzels while reading it, mime giving one to me every so often.

After lurking around for almost two weeks without a single toot I think it would be time to transfer to a more active state: hello everybody.
