@sentencebender.bsky.social most recent newsletter speaks on the grounding of artists as culture workers is writing, and how the grounding of a writing life is community. Give that man a follow and subscribe.

Hey y’all Sydette really needs a boost. Can you help her out right now?

She is one of the smartest, kindest people I know and she has put a lot in with very little reward.
Welp it’s gotten real real if you can please help. If you can’t it’s really hard out here so share

There are situations where SF can communicate science - but to be effective that science must be part of the underlayer. You can improve the audience's understanding at an implicit level.

My favorite example: Lab B-15 by Nick Wolven. escapepod.org/2019/08/01/e...

If you would like to read my work but cannot afford to buy it or lack access to library resources for whatever reason, you can ask me for a copy. I'm pretty chill.

If you are a pirate as a personality trait, or because nobody's going to tell you what to do or whatever, I'm disappointed in you.

This is a scheduled post for anyone awake at midnight ET (very likely not our co-founders) to check our submissions guidelines. Perhaps a certain Moksha link at the bottom is now active, and perhaps certain Moksha forms are now open to submissions 👀

No luck yesterday on collecting donations to relocate out of this tent!

If we can finally get to our friend's apartment in California I can unpack all of my tools and instruments and start working again!

We managed to squeeze through and take care of the critical things about to kill us yesterday!

Can we do more than just survive today?

We need to pick up the pace if we're ever gonna get in a healthier situation than being stuck in this tent!

Anything helps! Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who has been sharing.

Currently I’m overdue on my electric bill and looking to be short on rent - in total between the two, about $500.

I have my commissions open, startplaying games and hate to ask for help.

Any help is appreciated.
Unfortunately bills continue to gather & asking for some assistance.

I'm offering up a number of D&D Oneshots up on Startplaying games right now from Monday - Sunday.

All funds are going towards my electric bill and rent.

Ended up changing my goal back to 1000 instead of 900 because I've had to spend a lot this month on food and medical stuff and haven't actually been able to recoup those savings.

I did not intend to post a @gofundme.com on my birthday but life does life things.

Long story short [too late], I received a merit scholarship based on my precious high school and college performances, not on the merit of the career I've been in for the past 10 years.

I'm setting up

I first ran across LP Kindred as a panelist at WorldCon 2025. I immediately looked up all the other panels LP was in to put the panels into my calendar. Let's help LP finish this BFA program!
