I think one of the most nagging issues with capitalism is that we have all the energy to spend on strangers, but are all too tired to even text our closest friends. I love you all, but I should probably go to bed. I have work tomorrow.

#LGBTQWriteAThon Oct. 2: This month I have a few projects. I wanted to make aesthetics, but work got busy, so I only have one I made a bit ago for this horror WIP. - Vampire short story - Romance short story (prequel to future novel) - Horror WIP (haunted/cursed carnival) All queer, of course.

Collage of black and white photos. Top row of three photos shows a woman with long hair and reflective sunglasses; a woman with short hair, shaved on the sides, with tattoos on her neck and head; and a silhouette against a night sky, lifting their arms up towards the distant moon. Bottom row: A wine glass of dark liquid held in two hands that have dark, painted fingernails; a close up of a person with black eyes; a person sitting against a wall, knees up to their chest, a hood hiding their entire head. Wording across the image reads: "We are all made up of beginnings..."

I need to make about $100 in donations in the next week or so to keep a copay out of collections. I haven't even made it 1/4 of the way to my goal yet. 😭 Please boost and share/donate, or you can donate directly at my Cashapp, $Loonsees or my Venmo at LoonSees.

Here is the gofundme for my surgery and recovery. This supports me while I'm off work, and includes provisions for copays, medical equipment (masectomy bras) and medication. Please share if you can't donate. I don't have family so I rely on the community for support. #MutualAid gofund.me/13e629245

By the higher estimates, the following major in US issues would cost the following; homelessness= $9.6b hunger= $33b clean water=$8.8b medical debt= $220n For a total of approx.$271.5 billion. Elon musk could pay for ALL of this and still have $636.6 billion to his name. Eat the fucking rich.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?
