It's only 25 days until we open and we've still got $ to raise. The great news is that we've raised 41% of our goal - $7400 of $18,000! We need to raise $18,000 to cover 6 months rent and utilities. So we still have $10,600.

So...just casually soft early launching something here for people who have been waiting. I am still fixing my website after it broke so this is a soft launch. There is a $3 minimum for each but it is pay what you want and I hope this helps you tell new and exciting stories:

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Oof! This is not good. Baker & Taylor is a big distributer for libraries. I don't know if there are any other distributers that can take up the slack by the end of the year. americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2025/10/08/b...

Masking at conventions makes so much sense I don't know why we don't all do it. The chances of getting get sick at a con are so high we have a cute little name for it: "con crud." That its easy to get COVID at cons should come as no surprise. Why would you not want to protect yourself and others?

Thankee! I love learning and helping.

Ma’at Crook @maatcrook.bsky.social · 1d

I had 2 sick days but was able to watch presentations at home!

I might not’ve needed the training to volunteer as an artist, making illustrations, flyers, etc. But I wanted it to better help them and myself.

Ma’at Crook @maatcrook.bsky.social · 1d

I’m home after completing my 40hr volunteer training for my local DV/SA advocacy center!

It was a great training! Great volunteers! And it’s a great org to help!
