Hey all,
I'm so grateful for the breathing room this fund has already given me to handle these payments. This month I haven't had to choose between continuing care and my outstanding bills. I haven't had to have payment negotiation calls with providers.
That is huge.
Thank you so much.
So yeah. Asking for help is not always my strong suit. My fights with the medical system and insurance have been A Thing the last few years. It has taken up a huge amount of my brain space, and trying to handle these has past the point of overwhelm.

A thing I said in my message to Peters that I often repeat: I'm holding any cave of his against the entire Michigan senate delegation, so don't think that retiring means this would be consequence free
2/ The Senators who want to vote yes on basically any terms appear to be shaheen, Hassan, king and Fetterman. Slightly less clear but I think pushing that way are Peters and Durbin. You’ll note that four of these six are retiring. Others who seem on the fence include the two sens from Georgia and …

One theme that’s starting to come up in mainstream Dem talking points is how multiple systems are irreparably broken and we have to stop focusing on temporary or stopgap solutions and actually rebuild from scratch, and this fills me with hope.

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Sometimes people ask me how my wife feels about me launching into historical lectures about popular culture at random moments, essentially triggered by a single word.

I asked my wife about how linen used to be dyed and got a concise, well-phrased historical lecture with several good examples.

Do I need to do the thread here about the Vikings and people with disabilities?

Do I need to tell the tale of Ivar the Boneless? Or the seer in the ship burial at Oseberg?

Is that what needs to happen?
People are really proving our whole point about disability representation in fantasy.

Repost if you think people with disabilities belong in fantasy settings.

Republicans running anti-trans hatefests lost and Zohran Mamdani is a hugely vocal supporter of trans and other LGBTQ rights.

That is MASSIVELY important to look at and run on.

Roll around in all this & soak it in. This is the good shit, & it should be celebrated.

And then it should be Built on.

I've been in ritual since last week for a beloved friend.
Lindsay, it has been an honor, privilege, and joy to be your friend. From now to forever. You have helped me to dream of an even more magical, artful life.
May her memory be a blessing for evermore.

I think the worst thing white feminists are OBSESSED with is with in current feminism is “reviving second wave feminism”.

LITERALLY WHY?!

There are thousands of feminist writers who deserve reappraisals but it always the same three stale done to death radfems.

At least do first wave or something!

We're there now. Republicans are killing SNAP. The Democratic Party should be out in every community GIVING PEOPLE FOOD.
This is going to be essential starting now. Project 2025 wants to gut every social service. They want to cut back on free school lunches. Start there - local Democratic Party staffers should be handing out lunch bags at schools once that goes down.

We must absolutely destroy the idea embedded within US ethos that only those who work deserve to have their needs met and an overall comfortable existence. (An idea that is only superficially and contingently believed due to the large number of people who work for horribly low wages)
No one in the United States should go hungry. I don't care if they are working or not. If a person is hungry, you give them food, full stop

“Authoritarians always target art first. They do so, because art and history are enemies of the myths a regime needs to survive." From my new TIME piece on Donald Trump’s campaign to defund the arts and rewrite our history. The stakes could not be higher.

"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

My heart has been full and heavy the last while. Grief is loud and it feels like I ran into a tree, as the poem says. It also feels like my sight is adjusting to the dark, and I think I might actually be able to find it beautiful.

This thread is really useful for folks looking to present at conventions and events.
Frequently, I do multiple events when I travel so that I can actually afford to do things. Read the contracts they give you thoroughly. Make sure you know what the expectations are.
When you are a new creator, whether in prose, comics, or other media, it can be very tempting to agree to every convention or other event that you're asked to do. Exposure is great, right? And it's wonderful to be wanted.

I love teaching creative writing in Maryland because every three or four years I have a student who swears that once they met… something (someone?)… living in the woods, and they usually asked them if they wanted to make a trade, a bargain if you will
