No donations in days. I now have to get an MRI to check on spinal cord damage progression so we know how to treat a new symptom. it may be my last chance to get one with what's about to happen.
I mean, I know THIS is true, but disabled LGBTQ folks need mutual aid:

I'm prioritizing time with my family right now, but I would like to see as many of my local friends as possible while I'm home in NYC for the next two weeks. If you have my number (it's still the same one) you can text me. Thanks y'all.

Just checking you all know about Spirit Swap, the game that came out this year that I directed alongside many incredibly skilled friends and workers! We’re a majority (uh I’m pretty sure 100% tbh) marginalized people co-op and self-published! Please check out our trailer I love it so much!

So many artists, writers, and designers I know have learned this lesson the tedious way, so let me co-sign this and say not only is it a huge waste of time and labor to listen to the "I'd buy that" crowd online, you will also lose money. Make what *you* want to make, everything else is noise
The biggest thing i've learned as an artist who sells prints and merch is don't make what people ask for. They won't buy it. Make what you, the artist, want to see printed on the support of ur choice.
I can't explain why but THAT'S what will sell. People who buy the most are the silent ones. 🫶
I can't explain why but THAT'S what will sell. People who buy the most are the silent ones. 🫶
Remember, artists: when people say, “I’d buy a print of this,” they don’t mean it. That sentence itself is just a weird compliment that rarely converts to an actual print sale. It’s like if someone ate a very good hot dog and then said, “I could eat 10,000 of these right now.”

Stop sharing AI slop.
It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays.
But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

I'm already seeing people saying that if OpenAI goes down it'll be the fault of authors and publishers, as opposed to actually blaming Sam Altman and OpenAI for BREAKING THE DANG LAW!
“authors & publishers who filed a lawsuit against the Sam Altman-led firm have secured access to internal Slack messages… discussing the mass deletion of a pirated books dataset… A NY district court ordered OpenAI to hand over the communications regarding data deletion”

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I had to fly home on short notice for a family funeral. The ONLY flight from Bangkok to NYC for under $500 necessitated a 14 hour layover in Manila. I'm telling you right now, it was not worth it. Learn from my mistake!!!
