An absolute incredible experience when I watched it for the first time and it has haunted me every day since

I'm worried about all the things. If anyone wanted to sign up for my Patreon today, that would be lovely and helpful.

Useful work🙄

Humans are such that we fill our surroundings with so-called "work" in every moment of free time we can

We make music. We create in so many different ways. We cook and feed each other. We care.

Kill the capitalist in your head, fucking seriously, work =/= worthy of life

Soso 💔 A child in intensive care for two days, she needs treatment that her family cannot afford. We look at her with tears in our eyes. Help us restore hope to this little heart. Save Soso before it's too late 😭🙏

The poetry collection I put together last month. I don't know how I'm getting it out into the world yet, but I am very proud of it.

A message from my friend Tasneem in Gaza. They are in great need, as are all the displaced and hungry civilians. They rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to Tasneem so she can feed her children. And to others. ❤️

ICE is in Edgewater. Stay safe if you’re vulnerable on the far North Side. They’ve already been run off with whistles at least once today. Patrolling matters. That’s what I’m doing.

Buy out the street vendors, fam.

Daaaaaaaaamn

Good for them, good for them

This is great

I'm hoping for a couple more Patrons before the end of the night. You'll help support me as a fabric artist, writer, and human being. You'll gain access to Felmer's positive affirmations, Mothman's monster-based etiquette advice, and other various bits of nonsense.

Substack discourse again so I am moved to reiterate:
getting off Substack is one of THE most straightforward and effective ways to get fascist stink off your work. If you choose not to do it because it seems too hard, then I do not trust you to do literally anything in the face of fascism.

BREAKING: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to carry out “powerful” strikes in Gaza.

Hey artists

You never know who will find you and when.

Each of us needs to find that peaceful center, that happy place, where we can be our best selves.

I write middle-grade whodunnits, so you might want to dismiss my opinion out of hand. But I think cosy games/crime sometimes miss the fact that blankets are only cosy when it's cold outside. A world without conflict / a story without stakes isn't cosy, it's just safe.

It annoys me when people say “they’re on SNAP but their hair and nails are done and they’ve got tattoos”. It’s extremely normal to do your own hair and buy press on nails, and tattoos literally last forever. What do tattoos someone got 10 years ago have to do with them needing to eat now

I think people misunderstand that IT IS OKAY if a book makes you UNCOMFORTABLE, sometimes that is the author's intent, but what YOU DO with those feelings as the reader is YOUR responsibility, not an author's, and which is why using that discomfort as a crux to mortality police makes you a dick

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
