I pray everyone finds their authors whose words fit in the crook of your neck, in the gentle caress of the cheek. Words that build bridges and castles and roads. Find the prose that you devour like a pear or a peach, juices dripping down your chin a consuming pleasure that grabs the bit in your teeth and demands that you behold just how beautiful life is. And then read over and over again till the words are a prayer you carry out into the world a demand that you'll live life to it's fullest so you can experience more art like this.

Paying Bills from the Other Side of the Sky

GOOD NEWS: I finally moved in with my partner in Australia.

BAD NEWS: she can't help with bills because money is that tight for her, too, and I can't work yet because of visa silliness. As a result, and I am fully broke and could use some help.

I don't have a set goal, I'm just trying to make enough money so I can pay for my few monthly expenses, and maybe, just maybe, afford a takeout pizza again someday.

The ko-fi link for a direct dono is honestly the best to directly help, and if you want while you're there, and you'd like to support queer artists making queer art, I've also got a book for sale.

Link below goes to the ko-fi page, and the book is available on Amazon, as THE REDWOOD FILES, where you can get it in print or Kindle formats.

Thank you for your help, I'm immensely grateful.

And here's the Amazon link for the paperback!

Rip to the autocorrect on Nadja’s and Zevran’s names that I didn’t catch until after I posted and now I can’t fix it

[theoreticallye]

i was tagged by @gaycat to post four non-selfie pics from my phone! i’ll go with the four most recent ones i’ve taken myself (so no memes/screenshots/etc.)

sometimes you just gotta pretend that you are still a kid and shoot a potato gun in the middle of the night...you know, for your sanity

yay late April snow :/

i have a problem, and that problem is kickstarting board games and then forgetting about it..so they show up a year later and now i have to find a place to put all of these boxes

i got these cool shelves to put some of my minis in, but this is me realizing that because i hung them above my desk (so i am usually sitting below them) and the clear shelves, i am going to have to start paining the bottom of my minis too lol

tagging @lomarien @somecallmesteph @thejollywriter @impral if you want to

Did you know my wife wrote an entire book? 👀 Yes, really.

The Redwood Files, written by @thejollywriter, is a queer cyberpunk sci-fi anthology about Delilah Jones, the unflinching defender of the fictional city of Redwood, California. She's a detective, she's a tank, and she has great taste in women.

Available in ebook (Ko-fi store or Amazon) and paperback (Amazon) 📕

You can also support Jolly on Patreon and receive monthly updates and read book chapters ahead of publication.

Jolly also hosts writing streams on Twitch and plays video games while exploring their themes and writing craft. Also, she has an encyclopedic knowledge on the history of aviation and can give you a rundown of virtually any air craft you can think of. It's amazing to behold.

Pick up a copy of The Redwood Files this pride month!

Help a Jolly out

Hey y'all, it's been a long time since I asked for help, but I need it now. Recently, through the kindness and generosity of friends, I was able to escape Florida, and make it to Minneapolis. Which is big exciting. I even got a job! i start in a couple of weeks.

For context, I'm a queer trans woman, and Florida's BIG SCARY if you're that. I'm in MN, to figure out transitioning and the rest of Life.

But I've been doing Uber Eats in the meantime. and it's barely enough to live. And as of right now, it's not even that.

I'm 3,000 miles overdue for an oil change in the car that I use to make *all* my money. The thermostat needs to be replaced because it won't let the car generate heat for the cabin. I don't have warm gloves to wear while I drive. It's 20 degrees, and it's going to get colder, and driving is the *only* thing I can do to make money.

The air mattress I bought to tide me over until I could buy a real mattress is collapsing, and I don't have the money to replace it.

I just need some help to make it to the new year, and the stability of the regular paycheck that'll follow.

Anything helps. Thank you so much <3

HAPPY HECKIN BIRTHDAY!

THANK YOU!!!

@thejollywriter wrote a whole story about a vampire effectively getting HRT by feeding on a Succubus.

https://www.tumblr.com/thejollywriter/610902100624506880/the-penthouse-mystery-club

so vampires generally stay the same after they die, they don’t age or grow or change. so do we think they could still medically transition if they wanted to? would hrt have any effect on vampires? and vampires who have regenerative powers, could they get top/bottom surgery? i hope so……

🍓 if you want

You’re always so supportive of me and the things I create, and have been from the start. I can’t begin to tell you how much it’s meant to me. You’ve had a rough life, but you’re a fighter and I know you’ll get through it.
