please support my wonderful friend

Also, I am strongly interested in applying to grants, residencies, publications, and mutual aid assistance opportunities during this season. If there’s anything you see I could be a fit for, I welcome it being forwarded my way! Thank you for the support always! 💗

I’m working again, I’m creating again, and that’s going to cover what it covers - whatever that is - and at the same time, monetary support would help tremendously as well. If you’re not able to give or contribute towards this, please share and circulate!

This includes catching up on payments on my roof and my electric, two of the biggest bills I’m behind on. This includes making an appointment to get my hair cut because I need to be bald again. 🤭 And it includes a second go-around of ceiling repair.

MUTUAL AID POST FOR #BlackHistoryMonth! ✨ Good news! It’s a brand new month! It’s Black History Month! More good news! A bitch is back working! More good news! I need some help! 🤣 I need a total of $2,570 to make ends meet this month.

On this day in Black History, Venus learned she could rearrange the order of her Bandcamp discography!

I’m listening to an album I composed and recorded when I was 29.

The best thing people who learned Black history as adults *ahem* can do in Black History Month is refuse the mic, & pass it to people who learned Black history at the feet of their elders as kids.

Once upon a time, I thought if I initiated complete sobriety from drugs and alcohol in my life, it would be a joke. “Like, nothing will ever change and I need these substances to function…” but I was comfortable functioning that way. My functions are stronger without substances.

The books and poems I must write, I must be sober for them. The music I must create, I must be sober for it. The worlds I must build, I must be sober for them. The life I must experience, I must be sober for it.

🦋 Mood ❤️

I haven’t experienced these varying levels of sobriety since I was 18 and 26, respectively. I’m turning 36 this year.

Life is truly generous. Sobriety has illuminated my eyes.

such a lovely thing to think about

A lot has happened in the nearly 3.5 hours since I wrote this.

It’s marvelous to see all the music I’ve made in one place.

Meditations continue.

Question I’m asking myself: How do I use Bluesky as an artist?

aye fuck that groundhog.

Please share, I’m homeless and had to sleep in 11° weather last night. I’m exhausted, freezing, and begging for help. I need $100 to get a room and escape this cold. Please if anyone can help or share, I desperately need a miracle. ❄️💔🙏 allmylinks.com/ienbean

Just learned the Doomsday Clock has advanced 4 seconds towards midnight. 85 seconds to midnight. The closest the world has ever been towards international catastrophe.

I think this is the first time I’m watching Queens of Comedy with fresh transgender femme eyes. I loved this special growing up.

I want my new life. Starting TODAY. I WANT MY NEW LIFE.

My sobriety is clarity. *sips wine with no alcohol*

I wanna study Latin.

The snow has melted off the tree branches. I can see from the window.

Just gathered 2 water bottles and a glass of nonalcoholic wine. Imma pop in a movie to finish while I’m putting together these skeets. God… I can’t believe I’ve gotten used to saying skeets.

I’m not here to complain about my new roof. I’m so thankful it was able to placed on my house. But I am getting phone calls everyday on when I’m going to make a payment. I keep dodging them, knowing I have to get this money somehow. Haven’t had the focus to put up a new crowdfund post yet.

And speaking of my roof, I am still needing to get caught up on payments. I have a new $14,000 roof to pay off every month for the next several years.

We’re still moving past the snowstorm here in Baltimore. So much snow on the ground. It looks like 8 inches at my house. Thankful the power didn’t go out. Thankful we got prepared. And really thankful to have a roof. I got that brand new roof just in time. ✨

Haven’t been wanting to be on all of my platforms at the same time. Off and on with being social virtually. Have had to do sex work. I can get so wrapped up in sex work that I end up neglecting my other work. The work where I make art. The work where I write. Still working out the balances.

Feels very strange to come on this Bluesky account and speak after a period of inactivity. I don’t even know when my last post was from this handle.

My need has been met! Thank you! 😊

Anyone have the ability to assist? If not, please, spread this around. Appreciate the attention and love!

Update: 1 hour has passed and I haven’t received any funds yet!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

I don’t think there was a first realization for me. I think there was something I saw or did that I liked, and then I learned it was wrong, and I made it chronic habit of keeping those longings to myself. I don’t think my queerness was equivalent to sexuality at first.

I did not want to go into explicit detail about my living arrangement in the latest GFM update. This person is intentionally making the apartment uninhabitable while attempting to restrict my post surgery aftercare. She doesn't want anyone here cleaning up, but also won't clean on her own.

The job, for now, is finished. There’s no hole. There’s no garbage bag covering hanging down. It’s not the best job, but it’s an improvement of what was there for the last three months.

I told this contractor that he was unprofessional with his time and his communication. And that I have no reason or intent to scam him. He disrespected me, my friend, and my house. And he apologized, in addition to offering to replace my broom and dustpan.

Tonight I was threatened with police and legal action after being accused of premeditating to skip out on completing the rest of the contractor’s payment, after he was called out for doing a lackluster job in repairing my ceiling.

“Covid is over” might be the biggest lie sold to us in a staggering decade of lies

AFTER THREE MONTHS, MY CEILING IS GETTING REPAIRED AT THIS VERY MOMENT! OH, HOW I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS DAY!!!! I still have to come up with $250 to complete the payment!

Please contribute if you're able or share the original if you're not. Note that the most effective way to get help for people is to directly ask people you know

Happy new year! Setting off 2026 with the first full show of the year on KEXP and we gon party tonight! 🎊🎇🍾 Listen at kexp.org
