seeing the fight unironically helped inspire an explosive development for this thing I’m writing
Me: I don’t see the appeal of boxing
TV: OK but what if it’s professional boxers savagely brutalizing influencers

If you're watching Heated Rivalry and thinking, "Holy shit there's all this sex and pleasure and fun and yearning and character exploration and I think they might figure it out and find happiness, is this even legal???" I am begging you to start reading genre romance, you are going to be thrilled!

December is almost here. If 30 people find $25 for El, their rent will be covered. If one of those people is you, you will get the happy warm satisfaction of knowing you have helped keep an irreplaceably bright light of humanity shining in the dark of the year.
Good news! Now at $260 of $925 for Dec. rent, and incredibly grateful. I'm over 1/4 of the way there!
Thanks for all your shares, and your help.💜

URGENT request: I’m at $10 of $925 for Dec. rent, after a few months of disruptively frequent migraines made freelancing difficult.
Even gifts you might see as small make a big difference—thank you so much for helping.

Many years ago, I was feeling stressed by the state of the world and I started a Holiday Fairies thing where people sent me their wishlists and I publicized them to try to get everyone gifts for the holidays.
@shelflove.bsky.social skillfully took it over and made it An Actual Thing!

A Tribute to an Oracle, Alice Wong
Alice had the ability to look to the future and a world where laws and attitudes did not keep disabled people poor, pitied, and isolated.
