a few people have expressed their desire to help me out with a ridiculous medical bill, asking if i would set up a gofundme so i did

please, if you are in a tight spot yourself, take care of you first. this is like, the most absurd time possible for debt collectors to come knocking for me but i suppose thats why they did it. i've made my first payment today and another isn't due until july 18th.

if you can and want to help, thank you! let me know if there's anything i can do in return for you. if you can't, that's totally cool. this is not an emergency need, i'm just broke and its gonna suck paying this off lol (boosts are ok)

@awmwrites There is always something to be angry about

people who live near the CHAZ have apparently been entering the zone to see the volunteer doctors there because they can't afford healthcare
you can't make this up

art is work. art is labor.

labor is entitled to compensation.

pay your artists. pay them well. tip them.

if you can't pay your artists, don't commission art.

same logic applies as if you were hiring a contractor. you can't just go oops i don't have the cash when the work is done and it's time to settle the bill.

just because it's art doesn't mean it's less valuable or deserving.

A month ago, I offered free editorial services, with priority given to bipoc, lgbtia+, and similar marginalized people. Nobody has taken me up on it, but the offer still stands. I'm a technical writer with a thirty year career, and a ttrpg author and book editor with twenty years of publications across multiple companies. Please help me find relevance by helping you.

Reminder that Breonna Taylor was a human being whose life has value, who had friends and family, who was loved and her life was brutally taken from her.

Maybe let's not turn that into a meme (which are literally jokes).

the nadir of “white anarchist agitators we must snitch on” rhetoric has now been reached: liberals spread the name and images of a woman in Atlanta accused of burning down the Wendy’s that fatally called the cops on Rayshard Brooks, leading to her arrest. the woman was Brooks’ girlfriend.

Your yearly reminder that:

* You get to choose your family
* Abusive people don't get to demand access to your life
* Even if it's Father's Day
