Help me fund epic poem GULA: A Poem For The End Times on BackerKit! A modernist/post-modernist long-form poem, GULA explores Carrion City, a place where the lost and forsaken end up and rarely leave -- a mirror city to the world of the beloved and treasured.

Screenshot of text that reads: Hello, wanting to provide context to why l need continuous help with survival funds. I'm a single mom who also caretakes for my disabled child. He is high needs meaning he needs help with everything through out the day. I'm disabled myself. I have long covid which mostly entails POTs, uterine fibroids and chronic fatigue. But there are a lot of things my body struggles to do now which make it hard for me to work. When I was last working I ended up in the ER from overworking my body and decided it was best for me to stay home especially since my disabled child was already struggling so much with the caretaker he had at the time. I also have a trans child so we live in California where it's safest for her and my family in general as two of us are disabled. I'm working towards getting on disability at the moment as well as exploring options to be paid to be my son's caregiver as his behavior gets worse when I'm not the one caring for him. I also cannot afford bills and child care so this is the best road for right now as I figure out an income while caring Screenshot of text that reads: child care so this is the best road for right now as I figure out an income while caring for him full time. Any support keeps my kids and I surviving and housed. Nothing goes unappreciated and I truly try to thank anyone who helps to the best of my ability. I suffer chronic fatigue so my spoons are limited. I'm not online as much as I use to be but I try to be especially because it's how we keep afloat. Thank you if you read and please if you can boost my posts as more eyes means more chances someone can pitch in and help on bills. Thank you

Ending today on a high note of $852 -- wow! If we can raise $130 a day for the next five days, GULA will make it, and I am so pleased to be even coming close. Thanks so much to all the people who have been helping me boost and get eyes on this!

GULA is crowdfunding now on BackerKit! This full-length epic poem explores poverty, capitalism and the fall of the empire in modernist, post-modernist and surrealist verse -- and helps fund UNRWA in the process.

Oh Captain, our Captain.

We were barely acquaintances. I knew him barely a year. But already, I can't really put into words how much I owed him.

Without #HorrorWritersChat, I wouldn't be where I am now - creatively, socially, emotionally.

I'm very sad to share the news that our lovely @chaoticauthor.online has passed away. His ending was peaceful and surrounded with love but came far too quickly after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

I've known Matt for years. He was a warm, gentle, generous, all-weather friend. I miss him.

Hi. I got word on 11/24 that the income I was counting on to cover Dec and allow me to rest + start working FT in a way that accommodates my body isn't gonna cover such, so I'm starting this early to supplant any $ I make.

p-pal: shockofthequeen16
Goal: $1,450
#mutualaid #rentmutualaid #helpsky2025
Hello all! I had expected to be out of this cycle by now but a payment I was counting to cover my Dec bills & jump me forward on bills/income after being unable to work due to disability over 6-7 months is 95% less than what I was told before and thus, I have to disturb my recovery period suddenly once more. My health is thankfully allowing me to increase my work hrs after a terrible bout of illness but with only a week left, I know my body will not allow me to work enough hrs to catch up in time. In the event that it does/biz is good for me, I will update my goal ofc! Please DONATE $ if you can and (if you cannot) SHARE/RETWEET with words expressing urgency. It makes a world of difference.
