I’m working on projects right now that’ll hopefully help this be more sustainable (more on that soon), but I want to be clear in stating that supporting my work is not charity. This is work. It supports the education folks get here & it shows that the work matters.

Thank you for supporting me.

I got my first contract creative work in August that ends in December. my brain is wondering what’s next. So when you support my work either financially or by sharing it, it makes a huge difference. It allows me to bounce back and live. And when you say you want to support, it makes it less scary.

I learned a lot of lessons in recovery, namely that there is no such thing as a stable job. I know that because I was working a stable job until it wasn’t. There is no guarantee your backup plan is strong enough to back up anything. Everything is fallible. So I’m taking a shot. But it’s scary.

I learned that this was what I was supposed to be doing. After 20 years of trying to cosplay normalcy while masking neurodivergent struggles, I learned that this life of freelance creativity allowed me to function at my most optimal. At 37, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been doing this work.

And to be clear, I began asking for support regularly because the people asked how they could support. But I see this sentiment regarding other creators too.

If you don’t want to support us, you don’t have to. But don’t demean our work. Just because you don’t see value doesn’t mean there isn’t any.

Consider supporting this Black creator. Help make what I do here more sustainable. And together, you and I can make Republicans cry, as sky daddy god intended.
