Hey guys, just signal boosting. Between the hospital bill and owing my parents for fronting the 50%, we are still looking at $7000 we owe. Sincerely appreciate all who have donated and anyone who shares the post. 💙
Hey y'all, Lee was approved for a surgery that would literally change their life. However, living in America means it's really hard to pay for medical costs alone 🫠
While I'm still doing commissions when I can, we opened a GoFundMe. You can donate and view the explanation here:

Just found out they made a remake of Jacob's Ladder and my main takeaway is that oh my god why do movie posters suck so badly now. What a comedically bad downgrade, man.

Want to learn more about trans Texans? We surveyed 90 of them to learn how they're dealing with an increasingly-hostile political climate. Almost everyone said they're feeling more anxious and less safe in public. @dallasnews.com www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...
We surveyed 90 trans Texans. Most said they’re living in fear and weighing a move
Respondents said anti-trans policies have complicated their sense of home in Texas and pushed them to consider leaving the state.

I was laid off from my job a few weeks ago, and my main takeaway at the moment is that I think stores should be obligated to give you one free little treat per day if you're unemployed. It doesn't have to be big. I'll take a small black coffee or something. Just anything would be nice tbh.

So.
We've been denied financial aid, and the surgery is not being considered "emergent" thus no bypassing pre-payment. Which means we HAVE to pay on the date of surgery, which is later this month.
I'm going to be offering these portraits for anyone donating $50+ to the gofundme, details below

This is what happened when Thomas Keller asked me to leave the French Laundry
Thomas Keller is a legendary chef. Chronicle critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan hadn’t met him, until she went to the French Laundry and he asked her to leave.

What I appreciate here is that the FT scored a video interview with Sam Altman (a high profile get!) for a conceit where he makes lunch and then another FT writer just ruthlessly savages his kitchen appliances and cooking techniques. www.ft.com/content/b180...
