#ThankYouPatrons for a year of support through staggeringly heartbreaking and revelatory times. Because of you: I’m able to spend time with the dying and their families which is a crash course in reckoning with the troubling question of elderhood or lack thereof, and in this process have been disabused of about a dozen or so other spurious notions about ancestry, grief, and the merits of prolonging human life in a death-phobic culture. I’ve been able to set aside hustling $25 watercolors ad nauseum or pursuing licensing contracts and make work that is less popular, takes more time, requires deeper consideration, and doesn’t cater to the gaze of social media - this has not made creating new work any easier, actually, but it has given me a space to cultivate a process that doesn’t threaten to wither and die from the radiation of algorithms. I was able to participate in events like #TendingTheThreshold and #AlliedMediaConference which allowed me to witness, learn from, and support the kind of real culture-making found over in the fertile margins where folx from the edges of worlds meet after being pushed away from the center of dominant belongings. I can commit hours of study and write long form essays on subjects largely eschewed and placed on our collective spiritual backburner, and this is a both a rank privilege and a real gift. I can turn around and support the Patreons of other black, brown, indigenous women, artists, podcasters, witches, and lifeway-makers whose work directly addresses the needs of people most versed in anti-oppression and healing justice modalities. Because of you, I’m a different kind of parent. My kids will be raised in ways that betray dominant culture because of you. In fact, they just walked in the door and I have to go. I could go on. But there’s a kind of un-spelling of capitalism that I feel is possible within these capitalist structures when we re-enchant the process of pushing money around in a communal way. No one is coming to save us. No charismatic leader will give us the systems we need. Individual enlightenment will not create community. We do it together, or not at all. #ThankYouPatrons https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYFLB_DDyq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xs1drl6o04zm
