i'm getting laid off at work by the end of the month because i can't relocate, without any prospect yet. i don't think i'll be able to get the same salary.

quite honestly we have a lot of expenses for the month, but every dollar counts, since the conversion rate is high to philippine peso. any amount helps. my mother has a tumor close to her ear and needs to eat healthily.

priority expenses:

grocery - $275

2 bottles of concerta - $300

less priority expenses:

bills and rent - $200

1 psychiatric session - $50

2 therapy sessions - $60

i'm a writer so if you'd like to get some of my zines, purchase them here.

It's a dark and stormy night, and something isn't quite right in this house...

just finished this collage style zine about my journey with FND leading up to my diagnosis. it'll be up on my shop later today (after i've made the first few copies) for £5, with £1 from every zine sold going towards the charity FND action. hope you all appreciete this first look.

also reminding you guys that I now have a ko-fi page for anyone who wishes to support my work or wants to sign up for subscription goodies every month!

lots of my zines are now available for US shipping! i’ve been super tentative to do this because tarriffs have been high and shipping rated are always difficult when you’re sending things halfway around the world but we persist!!

And Lately, The Sun - Anthology

Bushland is burning. The Arctic is shedding ice. And around the world, people are imagining futures which function. 

Gritty, graceful, commonsense or whimsical, these twenty tales probe at how we could build a working world using the resources available to us – the natural, the social, the political, and the technological.

Some of these stories invite readers to bask in the warmth of a bright tomorrow, from tree dwellings in India, to restoration projects in Milano, to rewilded suburbs in the East of Australia. Other stories burn with spirit in the face of adversity: smallholders in Botswana adjust to international treaties; gamers tackle reality using virtual tools. And there are shadows, too, in tech suburbs where you can buy eco-cigarettes, or on tree plantations where family members won’t toe the line.

Excited to share that the story ‘In the Storm, A Fire’ by admin @thejaymo​ and solarpunks.net regular Andrew Dana Hudson has been nominated for the BSFA Award Longlist for short fiction!

In the Storm, A Fire

A story that contrasts Solarpunk’s vision of beautiful, dirty, solidaritistic, environmentalism/climate survival with ecofascist unsolutions.

Its packed full of ideas about cyberpunk interfaces, generational politics, high-tech policing, religious schisms, snapchat demagogues. Permaculture retrosuburbia, communities of resistance forced to play power politics with fash gangs in order to survive.
