I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.
Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.
Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.
following delays this good girl/bad boy/extreme enby will be launching on April 12th
proceeds will be going to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund
over 370 items for $8 (from incredibly talented developers, and also me) is a big enough bargain even without the added incentive charitable donation, so please check it out!
not sure if it is just me, but I'm getting a 404 error from that link!
Okay people! Looks like someone has retracted their permission for their content to appear in the bundle (I don't know who, or why!) so the page has reverted to a pending acceptance from participants status.
HOPEFULLY this gets resolved soon!
I read somewhere that there was a problem with an itch.io Palestine bundle where Itch didn't donate the money it said it would to the relief org? Not sure if that's related to the 404 message here. Unfortunately I'm not sure where I saw this said--I try to save links for info but haven't been able to find this one in my notes. Thought I'd mention what I could recall though in case someone else can track down the info.
thanks! the co-ordinator has sent out a message explaining the situation further, it's down to some annoying but also understandable bureaucracy
Update in short here is due to the way that funding was gonna be delivered, the PCRF now need to manually log into their .itch and OK that they want to be 'added' to the bundle to receive the funds rather than have to deal with transfers of cash or suchlike.
understandably they are quite busy right now.
Thanks for explaining what's going on, hopefully they are able to have a moment but as you said it is quite understandable they are busy
