I've got a lofty fundraising goal set on ko-fi, but also have basically every other payment platform known to humanity:
ko-fi.com/moonxm/goal?...
paypal.me/mlmoon
cash.app/$moon0629
account.venmo.com/u/mlmoon

Compensation available in the form of eternal gratitude + dog pics?

So, I'm doing that thing everyone hates and asking for help. Advice and tips on the process are also more than welcome and much appreciated, but if anyone happens to have some spare change kicking around so we can move somewhere that doesn't want us (mostly me) dead, that'd be incredible.

Since he's a) big and b) brachycephalic (smooshed face), transporting him by plane is, apparently, a whole thing. A whole ~$5k+ thing. It's not just a matter of booking him a seat on the plane (I wish), or even in cargo, but via live animal freight, which requires a separate service.

And even if I were to sell everything, it wouldn't even vaguely cover the most expensive (somehow) part of this whole ordeal: moving my dog. This guy.

I have most of the pieces in place, or on their way there - job, visa, etc - but an international move is expensive, and unfortunately, most of my stuff isn't going with me. I plan to sell what I can, but that isn't going to put much of a dent in the cost of essentially starting over.

They're on their way to your inbox!

No problem! Hopefully it's for real fixed soon

(and clearly my brain is off because I forgot the important bit: xm@moonography.com)

Shoot me an email and your preferred file type (PDF or ePub) and I can send them to you! Unfortunately the site war rages on 🫣

Still trying to figure out this particular problem, but in the mean time, here are direct download links for Battle Royalchemy:

If there are any others you wanted, let me know!

Ok - I was able to reproduce not logged in, so there's definitely a fun problem! Fingers crossed it's a quick fix, but I'll let you know when things are back to operating properly and so sorry it's not playing nice and sharing 😩

Hi there! Can you confirm whether or not it's working now?

Thanks for wording the bit I was thinking but couldn't figure out how to say. This whole thing is a fascinating series of choices, especially give the state of... everything.

Always a pleasure!! 🖤

You can have mine. I don't want it 😂

My first preference is, as always, other queer creators, but my experience and portfolio span a wide range and I'm happy to provide samples and references as needed. My site is undergoing a revamp, but in the meantime I can be reached here or via email (contact@moonography.com).

Given the second thing on that list, though, I find myself with availability for additional projects. I'm not currently looking to take editing work, but I'd love to take on design, formatting, and/or website needs y'all might have.

But it was a very... Difficult? Lesson in my own limitations. In the dangers of burning the candle at both ends (and from the middle). And at the end of it all, I'm very tired, very unemployed, and - despite everything - weirdly optimistic about the future.

It was eye opening, to say the least. The entire past year has been eye opening. In a conversation with a friend earlier, I called it something like a year of intense emotional growing pains. Because I definitely have grown a lot. I've learned a lot. 2024 was not, technically, a loss.
