this is a Donors Choose for books at a school in Rogers Park (most of the videos you saw of ICE today were in this Chicago neighborhood), it's only about $400 until it's fully funded.

here's one in the same neighborhood of Rogers Park, no funding yet, but this is in fact a list of books that middle schoolers would love to read!!

🔥 As you may have seen, in recent days, I've been going to the Broadview ICE facility near where I live. For @vanityfair.com I wrote about those protests & the hell that the Chicago area is being put through thanks to ICE/DHS. I hope you'll read this & share it. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

I'd really love to get this to ⅓ funded by the end of the month. I'm so grateful to everyone who's already donated to help & I know things are difficult for so many of us. I'm doing everything I can to get past needing help, but I'm not there yet & could really use your help.

I'm going to be really honest here, friends. I am struggling. I've been out of work since June, what little income I had coming in has dried up, & the job market sucks. Anything you can spare is appreciated & literally keeps me housed.

Thanks to all of you for bringing some light into my evening. I’ve been fretting about food and beverage prices for the con and don’t mention AV and miscellaneous expenditures 😬 My spreadsheet is clicking and clacking 😩
I appreciate everyone who registers for Spring Fling 2026 in advance

*blushes* 💕💕 We try our best. If I had my way, we’d get a big money sponsor and make the whole thing free so that more opportunities might flow to those who miss out.
