We are accepting new dramaturgy and script consulting clients. If you’re working on something new we’d love to help.

We are struggling to pay back rent to avoid eviction by next Wednesday. But if 20 of our readers donated $50 ($1000) we’ll be okay.

We feel this so much! Hugs. Some days we try to change the world. Other days we rest. Do what you can but take care of yourself. 🖤

Here’s a more in depth look at two of our titles up for presale this month. For a suggested $10 per title you can get them while they’re hot.

We are now in presales for our April Zine Titles! Presales help us make commitments to travel to shows and show potential sponsors what our readership will look like. We’re trying to raise $800 before the middle of the month.

Any book peep or micro publishers on #booksky who know how to handle presales? We’re about to release a lot of digital titles in April and would love to give readers the option to snag a copy early at a good discount.

I was JUST saying this!

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · Feb 28

People assume they’ll be the exception. That disability, poverty, homelessness won’t befall them

That if something “bad” happens, they will be able to “try harder” their way out of it.

This false belief allows them to blame the ones who are suffering, instead of the oppressive systems that trap us

RnD Young-Howze @rndyounghowze.bsky.social · Feb 28

We strive to create work that is community supported and shouts out artists lost in the cracks.

We’ll be announcing so many projects in the coming weeks.

But there are thousands more just like us who could use your cash.

Participating In Today’s #economicblackout
Remember that there are thousands of Queer and Black artists running small businesses (like us) who scratching out a living to give you music, comedy, literature, film, and news. Buy or commission their work or give them money just because.

Thank you for your service. No I didn’t miss the time line. I have to run a small business today just like I did yesterday and will do again tomorrow to keep my housing. Some of us are too hungry and too in danger of losing our homes to participate. I don’t see what you miss about that.

RnD Young-Howze @rndyounghowze.bsky.social · Feb 28

That’s why we have billionaires who can lose a $100 billion and houseless people begging for change. If you don’t want to spend your money keep it. Fuck the oligarchs. But if you’re not planning to care for those who are harmed by capitalism their neck will only be under a new boot.

If only there was a clearly labeled book published by a group that laid out the fascist's game plan for the year 2025 then maybe we could have all showed up to vote and prevented a major constitutional crisis....

Hey by the way, if anyone would like to hire me in US dollars for freelance writing or editing work, I need to pay rent and just fled halfway across the country, which is very expensive!

If you like my writing and would like to commission something, please feel free to DM.

It’s okay if the money you make for it only pays to keep you in slightly better poverty.

You didn’t create your poverty.

You’re just swimming in it.

So float on a poem.

Paddle with a song.

Tread water with stories.

And find other artists floating adrift and hold onto them.
