Ur Fave Magical Boi

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).

hello, I know I'll have to remake this soon but a bitch is still comically poor and as it is, the only person who can kinda support my very impoverished family. Ummmm... Could I be so aggravating and ask for $500 to make it through the rest of the month, that'll cover my credit card bills, the Internet, and the doctor's appointments I have this month? Pretty please n thank you.

briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.

Ronald Wimberly's comic essay, Lighten Up, stays evergreen

"The fact that socialization is a specious argument became obvious to me during an exchange I had with a trans-woman-exclusionist who insisted that my being raised male was the sole reason in her mind for me to be disqualified from entering women-only spaces. So I asked her if she was open to allowing trans women who are anatomically male but who have been socialized female — something that’s not all that uncommon for MTF children these days. She admitted to having concerns about their attending. Then, I asked how she would feel about a person who was born female yet raised male against her will, and who, after a lifetime of pretending to be male in order to survive, finally reclaimed her female identity upon reaching adulthood. After being confronted with this scenario, the woman conceded that she would be inclined to let this person enter women-only space, thus demonstrating that her argument about male socialization was really an argument about biology after all. In fact, after being pressed a bit further, she admitted that the scenario of a young girl who was forced against her will into boyhood made her realize how traumatic and dehumanizing male socialization could be for someone who was female-identified. This, of course, is exactly how many trans women experience their own childhoods."
