And I'll Sing the Dead a Melody

I love rereading my own writing and improving it, even if it’s just to fix typos or to switch some sentences around. I can’t imagine writing out the first thing that comes to mind and never going back to see if you could improve it

A great place to donate to First Nations groups impacted by the ongoing wildfires 👇

I suffer from severe depression, a lingering OCD, CPSTD, fatigue, and strange blackouts that often result in my phone slipping from my hand or me bumping into walls.

To keep all long story short for those who don't know, my fiance and I are being professionally evacuated from a red state by the Rainbow United Front. I'm trans, hes intersex, and he fears of deportation because he's a citizen whose family has withheld paper documentation. We are already on our journey, and a lot of things are not going well/ending up more costly than expected. Today we also need to pay a family members $700 rent, as shes got cancer and has been relying on us for financial support. Anything helps rn, the Front is getting all the help we could possibly need once we are settled but thats still a bit out from now and we need help now to make sure that us and our relative with cancer are taken care of.

€37,699 has been raised, and the last donation was made 4 days ago! Please donate and share. Randa has raised funds to evacuate her family and we have achieved the goal, so she is extending a helping hand to her cousin, Maryuma, and her two young children, Rayan and Reem! They are in Khartoum, the capital, and they need to evacuate to Egypt!

I'll make a more eloquent post on both substack and Patreon, but I'm having to push back on writing right now, as I am severely burned out. Like, your fae can barely think, nevermind write 80k words for faer second novel. So, I won't be getting my next check for a while, and I don't know when I'll start getting royalties, so I'm going to have to ask all of you lovely people to help keep me and my family afloat. It'll be at least until September-October, and in that time I'll be trying to write a few short stories here and there, but honestly, I'm one bad day away from checking myself into a hospital. So! To avoid that, and if you'd like to support me and my work:

i know the post has a lot of notes but notes ≠ donations. We are Going through it; our fridge is dead and the landlord hasn't gotten around to fixing it yet, so we're being Careful with food. I have a big ass credit thing to pay ($218, due on the 10th) but I think I can manage that if I have some padding to handle the Internet bill ($105, due on the 17th).

Haven’t had a chance to watch the tutorial yet, but I’m seriously considering making this for my gf’s niece
