This is, I suppose, the one award-worthy thing I have for your consideration this year. A mystical, grief-laden, yet imminently hopeful poem in collage form
Aw thanks for asking! I've spent the past few years turning to collaging in times of overwhelming grief or fear or pain, when I couldn't form words of my own. I didn't realize they might speak to others, too -- so I was really excited when Worlds of Possibility published "After" as a collage poem ✨

I tried to do what my good friend LP is doing and finish my bachelors degree as a working professional. I failed, but if I’d had this community back then, it would have meant everything to have this happen. It would mean everything now to see my friend get to do this. Let’s share far and wide, ok?

@lpkindred.bsky.social is truly one of the lights of my life and one of the most cherished people in my writing community. He's working toward his MFA and needs some help to continue his journey. Every bit helps. LP's voice and stories are needed in this world.

I did not intend to post a @gofundme.com on my birthday but life does life things.

Long story short [too late], I received a merit scholarship based on my precious high school and college performances, not on the merit of the career I've been in for the past 10 years.

I'm setting up

LP has done so much work in the field and for the community, it saddens me that it hasn't been recognized by his lit program. Support or boost if you can.

LP is one of our best and kindest. Every chance I get to talk to him at conventions is too short, but he’s just such a lovely presence that there’s a line of people eager to see him. Share and support if you can.

Le sigh.
L.P. has done so much for this community. They should be rolling out the red carpet for him to be able to finish his schooling. But they are not, so here is a way to donate and allow him to finally get that diploma.

@lpkindred.bsky.social is a stalwart and continued community advocate with great hugs and I'm disappointed but not surprised that his literary achivements go under-rewarded in academic spaces.

You know, I want to read more utopian fiction. Something has changed in me. What are some of your favourite reads imagining a future where we all survive this, and build something together?

I don't know @lpkindred.bsky.social personally, but I've heard his name countless times in the SFF circles I run in because of his many good works. That's what happens when you do good: you leave ripples that grow into waves of goodness for others. I donated here to say thanks. I hope you will, too.

Just for my own edification, if you are BIPOC and living in Canada and write gothic horror do you mind saying hi to me on this thread?

Off the bat respectfully I know of Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Premee, Nalo Hopkinson, I love all of their work and have their books.
