To our Plume community,
In response to the Missouri Attorney General’s emergency rule severely limiting access to gender-affirming medical care, we will provide gender-affirming hormone therapy at no cost before the rule goes into effect from April 24 to April 27.*
If you’re in Missouri and need immediate care, you can schedule your appointment here.
We are pulling together all available resources to help as many people as possible across the state, but we can’t do it alone. We’re calling on every clinician in the state who can join us in this effort, and applaud Planned Parenthood and other providers for expanding availability for gender-affirming care appointments up until April 27 as well. We’ll be actively promoting on our website any and all providers that are still accepting appointments, in case we can’t responsibly service everyone who needs it in time.
We understand how stressful this is for our Members, employees, and everyone in our community right now. Know that we’ll be doing everything in our power to help you through this.
[Learn more about what we’re doing in Missouri and how you can help.]
Please forward this email to anyone in your community who could be of assistance.
-The Plume Care Team
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at hello@getplume.co.
*Please note, any no-cost medical services we are providing ahead of the proposed Missouri AG’s proposed rule are in effect only from April 24, 2023 through April 26, 2023 at 11:00 PM CT.
I hear Virmire is lovely this time of year.
In the past I have been willing to discuss Ashley's racism with her and get her perspective. It is now 2023, I have grown old, and I am no longer willing to listen to her. I appreciate the option Bioware gives you to tell her to shut the fuck up when she starts going off.
Just wanted to say sorry for all the hate you're having to deal with because of one gifset 🙄 It's more than a little ridiculous at this point. Keep your head up and hang in there! Love the work you do to bring us posts about ancient Egypt!
Thank you. <3 I appreciate people's anger but I think they should aim it at Netflix, maybe make a petition? I can't do anything about it. If they want to send asks about what their thoughts are I will post it no problem, just don't direct it at me?
Drew a quick Pigment for @xxtc-96xx who is a very good friend of mine and who has done a lot for me 💖
I drew this in one sitting forgetting to save until I was done ._.
obtaining roms:
edge emulation (missing some consoles; CD-based games come in compressed formats such as CHD; very fast DL speed)
myrient (pretty much everything, no strings attached; fast DL speed)
cdromance (mostly has games for CD-based consoles; games come in uncompressed iso or bin/cue; has a lot of pre-patched rom hacks; medium-fast DL speed)
planetemu (largely in french; has a lot of obscure titles other sites lack; very fast DL speed)
alvro collection spreadsheet (pretty much everything, including many newer consoles; slightly inconvenient to navigate; download site has timer and limits to 1 download every 30 mins, can be worked around with vpn; inconsistent medium-to-very-fast DL speed)
script that lets you download from emuparadise post-shutdown (pretty much everything; inconsistent medium-to-very-fast DL speed; can occasionally be uncooperative)
ROMs Megathread/Archive (everything, really; slow DL speed; usually a last resort if you can't find something anywhere else)
i don't currently recommend Vimm's Lair due to very slow speeds, download limits, and offering nothing that isn't on other sites (unless you need prepatched xiso format Xbox roms)
console-focused sites:
HShop (all 3DS. very complete, easy to navigate. has qr codes for direct download from 3ds; yes, the qr codes are safe; fast dl speed)
MarioCube (focused on GameCube/Wii and has everything you'll ever need for those platforms; requires joining a google group for standard roms but it takes like 2 clicks; very fast dl speed)
NoPayStation (practically every PS3/PSP/Vita game and update, downloaded directly from sony's servers; fast dl speed)
sites offering switch and other modern games get shut down very frequently so i won't be linking them in order to keep this post from getting outdated, but you can find them if you snoop around reddit (the switchpirates sub in particular) a little
romsets:
Cylum's Romsets (my personal favorite - not fully complete sets but heavily curated, so no going through a million revisions of the same game)
for 1fichier directories, you can use a tool like 1fichier-dl to download in bulk. i'd recommend doing this on the alvro collections if you want more complete sets.
softmodding and loading roms on some popular consoles:
Switch
Wii
3DS, Vita, Wii U
PS2
PSP
recommended emulators and emulation guides:
Emulation General Wiki
netplay:
wanna play with your friends online?
fightcade covers nes, genesis, pc engine, dreamcast, and snes along with a variety of arcade boards from capcom, snk, sega, and konami. playstation is incoming. all platforms on it have rollback netcode.
mednafen covers psx, saturn, pc engine cd and sega cd, and i find its snes performance better personally. delay-based netcode with server structure. here's a pre-packed version with a gui included and here's a netplay guide i largely wrote myself.
other than that, dolphin is naturally used for gamecube/wii, and project64 with the AQZ netplay plugin is used for N64.
games are great. go play some games.

Bow down
Kickstarter now live for the Leucochloridium plush! I had this smaller prototype made already, but the final plush is going to be BIGGER and more realistically proportioned!
You can preorder a plush, an enamel pin, or a combo of both for the next 30 days. The plush will need a couple thousand dollars in factory costs alone, but if successful, there’ll be at least 100 of them made with some left over that I’ll put up on etsy by fall/winter!
