anything i need i *may* get from a community or parent donation, or *eventually* in small bursts from my own dime. i dislike scrambling tho, so figured i'll share just in case yall can share it 🫶 i was using my own supplies, but there just aren't enough to go around this time :(

apostrophen.wordpress.com/2021/01/03/t... I’m genuinely never not thinking about this, and all the little ways a queer reader can spot when a book isn’t written by us or for us, as well as the frustration when cishet readers object to being “taken out of the fantasy” by reminders of queer reality

The Shoulder Check Problem

Like a lot of my blog posts here, this one was sparked at a specific time over a specific conversation, but over the years I’ve seen this particular topic come up again and again like waves on a sh…

Absolutely THIS. People think a dollar or two isn't "real"support, or isn't enough and like no no, IT IS ACTUALLY SO MUCH bc it adds up! It feels like just the $1 on your end, but on our end it ends up being $10 or $100 or even $1000s A dollar goes farther than you think

people get intimidated by the social belief of "supporting the arts" as like donating $5,000,000 for a new wing at a museum or hosting some gala it's not. 10% of our audience throwing us $1.00 a month would literally be *life-changing* money most artists are in the same boat.

I don't usually talk about this, I don't like to talk about money when everybody is having a tough time. And I don't like to paywall things in general bcs I am poor and I can't afford to comm or subscribe to ppl. Believe me I get you. But I want ppl to know that we appreciate your support so much.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

A succinct verdict on the persecution of the poor young academic who just died by suicide. Plagiarism is common. Persecution of the kind he endured is uncommon, aka selectively applied. The reason why he was targeted seems as clear as it is ugly.

The only conversation worth having is how Black people are overpoliced & over-punished & held to different standards in all aspects of life. That there is an outrage when Black people transgress that isn’t there when their non-Black counterparts do.

I love that my writing is generally just for me. It gets contentious when I start making it "readable" for other people. It's sometimes motivating for sharing w/ close friends, or when I'm finally ready to share it, but otherwise lethal to enjoyment. Have personal art! u can always share it later!

Art tip: don't share everything you draw. Draw things you never intend to show anyone. Your brain needs time to just exist in a state that's not about performing for strangers. This used to be the normal way to exist before social media poisoned us.

My vampire and werewolf piece are in there! There's so many incredible artists in this book and a rare case where we were all compensated for the use of our art, so be sure to support the project if you're interested and able!
