It's been a rough year, and I know there have been new names added. Today we remember them before we continue the climb in their honor. This coming year looks like it'll be more of the same, but let's try to be there for each other so we can all reach the summit together.

I just wanted to add that we're nine copies away from another notable milestone for the book's first week 🥹

"Magica Riot: Full Bloom" is my new deeply gay Portland magical girl adventure. With two villains in play, Magica Riot has to find a new approach to their magic and music, with help from unexpected friends.

Feelings, lesbianism, and action ensue!

Get it in ebook & print! magicariot.com/fullbloom
Artwork of the cover art of "Magica Riot: Full Bloom," featuring text "Magica Riot" is in the upper left corner in black in a combination of fantasty/crystalline and punk script fonts, while "Full Bloom" is below it in an interwoven script font in orange, red, and purple. The artwork depicts two trans girls, Iris and Bloom, laying on a bed of orange rain lilies. Iris has purple hair that fades to orange at the tips. She is wearing an orange sun dress, and is laying with her eyes closed. One hand is draped across her stomach, and the other is reaching up. Her fingertips are barely touching those of Bloom, also laying on her back and who is wearing a black corset dress, red bow, and long black gloves. She also has purple hair. Her eyes are open, and red. In her other hand, she holds a purple flower. Iris and Bloom are arranged diagonally across the page, head to head. Across the top, artwork of the five main characters of Magica Riot in a park is placed. Around the book art are placed several blocks of text: "trans protagonist," "entirely queer cast," "tall hot evil sorceress," "thrilling action," "music-based magic," "sinister tech company," queer identity journey," "polyamory adventures," "useless lesbians," "modern-day Portland." Text reading "The next adventure of Portland's queer magical girl rock band" is next. Finally, text at the bottom reads: "Recommended if you like Sailor Moon, Symphogear, Pretty Cure, Power Rangers"

Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned

I'm in the beginning stages of forming a trans emergency meal fund. I don't know if I'll have it ready to launch this month, but definitely before Christmas.

I want to give back to the community that saved me and my wife from homelessness.

It'll be small-scale stuff, but it's a start.

I've got no choice but to change my GoFundMe while we look for housing. Anything you can spare will help.

Good news! Today is my birthday!

Bad news! I had a meltdown during the cake when someone started taking pictures without asking, let alone me saying okay. I then spent an hour crying in my room until everyone left.

Like seriously, while most people won't react like I did, ask permission first!
