Hey folks, I've been trying to keep my mutual aid posts to one a day with a single repost. But this month is not looking good. I've got to somehow come up with $250 by tomorrow to avoid my internet getting cut off, and then I've got my rent and other bills (about $800) due on the 1st.

I try to explain this and it’s always to confused stares.
Fandom has this glaring blindspot that the General Audience dwarfs them by factors of magnitude.
The GA is taking their kids to see "The Baby Yoda Movie". They don't care about lore. They're going to see it once, have fun, buy toys, and move on.
And it's going to make so much money.

Sad news to report: Alea O'Shea who did an excellent job voicing Mia in Mechwarrior 5 Clans has been diagnosed with brain cancer. She's been posting about it on her IG and news have been covering it last month. Here's hoping that she'll pull through ♥️
