Hi! 👋🏼

I'm Ellis Arcwolf (she/her; 🐺), or Joan if ya nasty. 🤪😹

I'm a 42-year-old queer, trans, neurodivergent Latina author of speculative fiction, currently living in Iowa. 🏳️‍⚧️♾️🌽

My mission: To create worlds where we can explore, heal, and find ourselves. 🚀⭐❤️‍🩹
You know I'm a fan of Chuck Palahniuk because I can spell his name right every time without ever having to look it up.

I love you, Chuck. 💙

Some people have been showing a lot of compassion for my father Charles Dickens, and I really don't think he deserves it.

(Dark, surreal humor incoming...1️⃣🔽)

New PFP and banner! Huzzah!

Yes, I'm still waiting. I'm *vibrating* about Monday.

I dunno why I went with those names. 🤔

My gay fathers were Charles Dickens and Jonathan Swift on one night of sublimely angry sex, so I can't help it. Chuck carried me, of course. Poor guy thought he had gout for years...

Thanking people publicly feels a little bad when you're not accustomed to doing it. Like,

> 📢 "Bobby! Reginald! Georgia! Report to the principal's office immediately!" 📢

No one's in trouble! Everyone's happy and lovely, I promise!

It is Sunday morning.

I am Aphrodite's ocean of stress.

I love you, BlueSky. Let's all have a great day.

🚀 **4 AM Update: The Support is Here. The Final Hurdle is Timing.**

It’s 4 AM on Sunday. The mask is off. I’ve been in this atmosphere so long I've been able to take off the mask. It's surprising how quickly you get used to things.

This is a long one. Sorry. 😅

🚀 **CRITICAL: Environment Toxic. Fund Gap. FINAL 36 HOURS.**

This is the final, most urgent update. We are in the last 36 hours.

**The Situation:** I returned to the house to pack. I lasted less than an hour. The environment is not just unsafe; it's physically toxic.

**In better news:**

My first haircut in four years is pictured below! 🙀

It wound up being free because my hair was so long that I was able to donate it to children in need (hell yeah, #IRLMutualAid). 😻

🕊️ The "Saggy Middle" / Keeping Hope Alive

You haven't heard much from me. The middle of a campaign is the hardest part by far. Adrenaline wears off, silence creeps back in, and hope begins to fade. That internal voice plays its old, shitty game on top of the anxiety of moving.

💓 STUNNED. An anonymous hero just dropped $250 into the emergency fund!

This is a transformative gift. The total is now $671!

This is the tangible cost of a security deposit for a safe apartment in Pittsburgh. This is the safe landing zone becoming REAL, built by this community.

You ever think to yourself, "Man, I may be going through a shit time right now, but at least I look really cute"?

I never used to.

Having a self-esteem is WEIRD, yinz.

Am I allowed to say yinz yet? 🤔

⭐ THANK YOU! HUGE $50 BOOST!

I have an incredible update: A massive thank you to Josie R. for an amazing $50 donation! 🥳

This immediate support is precisely what fuels this emergency exit. It means I can secure essential supplies (clothes! 😭) immediately upon reaching safety in Pittsburgh.

⭐ URGENT! The situation has escalated. Emergency exit underway.

The environment here has become actively unsafe and destructive. My personal resources, including my only clean clothes, have been actively sabotaged.

I've been working on telling the story of *Julỹs Kaĩsar*, a diegetic FFXIV play written during the Fourth Astral Era and set during the early middle Allagan Empire, which existed during the Third Astral Era.

Well...that was only a partial truth.

Some wonderful news—the emergency safety fund has its first donation!

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Nahum Wengrov for being the first to step up and contribute. That first donation is the most critical one; it breaks the inertia and officially starts the momentum. Thank you, Nahum!

🆘 I'm a trans Latina therapist needing to make an immediate exit from an unsafe and emotionally damaging home for my own safety. I have a career plan in Pittsburgh, but I'm not financially ready to leave.

Fundraising $8,500 for 3-month survival buffer. Please help me get to safety. 💙

The AI "consciousness" debate is a trap.

As an LPC/MA Psych, I'm proposing a new framework to get past it. Meet the modern LLM, our first example of a post-conscious 'Munal.'

The only people who have ever told me that I'm wrong about race are people who also chose to explicitly identify as white to me.

I'm not sure what that means, but I'm sure it means something.
