OK, guys, this might be a crazy idea, but here goes: I'm making a thread of threads that I'm calling the Digital Marketplace. When I find cool artists and small businesses, I'll add them to the threads. Please feel free to share individual artists and the whole post; exposure is great!

FEBRUARY UPDATE: Ruby Ray is a single mother dealing with homelessness and domestic violence. She has links and ways to support in her bio as well as a print-on-demand store here. She's also looking for jobs she can do remotely as she can't leave her child. Any help is much appreciated!
This is my print on demand store. However payments aren’t instant. I have he/him, they/them necklaces and more that I’ll add as well as coffee. It helps me a lot as a struggling parent going through a lot I’d love to reopen Etsy as well.

FEBRUARY UPDATE: Sadly, still stuck at $8,290 / $10,000. Everything so far is vastly appreciated. It would be lovely to be able to help this family scratch one worry and burden off their plate after such a devastating loss.
Some of y’all may know that I’m who & where I am today largely because of the Three Black Men podcast.

It’s with a great deal of heartbreak that we share that Sam’s beloved wife, Quonie, has passed away. If you’re able to support, you can do so here

HAPPY BUT EMERGENCY UPDATE: Falco made rent this week again!! Now he needs $300 for storage before late fees are applied, and $150 for groceries. Plus he will need another $700 by 11AM PST Feb 08. Any amount helps, and so do shares!

PP: FalcoSkyWolf
CA: $FalcoSkyWolf
Thank you SO MUCH! A single person sent a big enough slice to clear me for rent- that's so kind of you!

Now, is there a chance anyone can help me raise storage before late fees are applied, and get enough for a grocery run on top? Any amount makes a difference!
