I've long disliked a lot of the "do this to help a book get visibility" things because many of them are basically urban legends, esp with the 'Zon who are notoriously opaque about what actually helps books. This is not the case with Kobo and there IS an easy free way to give books a boost. 🧵

Please, I hate begging. I fucking hate that I have to do this every month, but please boost, share, donate, anything you can. I feel hopeless. I feel like I'm screaming into the void. ko-fi.com/beverlyannem... #helpsky #helpfolkslive2026 #fundsky #mutualaid #maboost #disabled

You all need to hold on to whatever learning you have. You may need to teach your kids and grandkids yourself. Hold on to the literature and the arts. This systematic destruction is going to be a long, hard road. We'll need storage silos and stuff. You can learn a few tricks from oral tradition.

I did a tonne of research so you don't have to. I talk about masking, air filtration, and air quality rating systems, & I give concrete suggestions to help you keep yourself and your loved ones safe. If you don't have this information yet, it's time to get educated. Wildfires don't respect borders.

Someone's conversation on Discord tripped a memory of when I went to a big arena donation event and the travel, lineup, and busy aspect of the experience did render me kinda noncommunicative, but the Raptors Club Pak were friendly and Darryl Sittler autographed my poster. www.nba.com/raptors/news...

Guys I don’t know how to say this but our studio is being shut down. I’ve got surgery in a few hours but ummm I’ll be open to work after I recover. If anyone needs a 3D character artist with experience working from scratch, optimizing from film, and working with character customizers I’m open 💔
