I always come back to bell hooks: "The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males [is] that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves."

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

I learned there’s a puppet workshop near me and I have not been able to stop thinking about it. Has the time come for me to make a puppet? Whose visage would be my first to replicate in puppet form?

You’ll have to join the @murderbastard.bsky.social discord if you want to fully understand this beautiful @watsoncomedian.bsky.social in-joke. Hop to it! Though it has its merits sans context, I think.

A couple of high school students came into the zine distro yesterday and we chatted about ICE, education, racism, transphobia, their immigrant parents, and a bunch of other things related to what was on their minds politically and socially. It was a balm. These kids were so smart and passionate.

Crying in the car bc of how Kafka-esque this Medicaid application process is. I’m trying so hard to be normal and balanced about every setback but fuck me. This is miserable.

I have an art gallery/museum shop I visit in my dreams sometimes. It’s always staffed by older women who chat with me about new things they have in. I looked at handmade sketchbooks in my dreams last night. They looked like seashells and had weighty, textured paper.

I was talking with a friend about this last night and wanted to remind y'all: I don't take a personal paycheck from wizd and never have. When you're supporting wasted ink, you're directly supporting the project. You're never supporting my lifestyle or bills. I've always had a separate job for that.

A few other financial tidbits:
- our monthly overhead is over $3,000
- zine fest usually costs ~$5,000 to produce each year and is only going up in cost
- most of our 100+ programs we hosted last year are free or low cost to attend
- we run off community support 💚
