It’s so hard to be creative and post here when you’re stuck in survival mode.

I'm short on rent and even though I have a new client (yay), they were only to partial pay. My kiddo started school so can now look for FT work but need help to get there.

I have VN/ PP under CadenceVivace

Only have the one time it was used in mine:

My kiddo had surgery last week and it’s been a rough month prepping for that and then me getting sick after.
I could use some #MutualAid to help me pay rent that’s due on Friday.

I found this book yesterday for my birthday bookstore trip. It’s from 1974 but it has concepts that make me wonder what fellow #scifiwriters think.

This claims that good sci fi stories contain at least one of these: imaginary voyages, remarkable inventions, future predictions, and social satire.

Y’all survival mode is not for the faint hearted. I have a recurring client but waiting on getting paid. I’m $260 short on rent and it’s the one bill I can’t get an extension on. I could use some #MutualAid to get me through.

More of us doing the thing and promoting ourselves need to keep this energy.

How do you stay motivated in the winter time? I used to be the person who could roll out of bed and get straight into work but this has gotten harder this year. At first I thought it was burnout, but I don’t think that’s it anymore.

Am I too late for PIZZA? 😳😳

Either way, perfect time for a selfie before I get my gender affirming haircut later today 🏳️‍⚧️

This #TDOR is hitting me harder than usual. Last June, I wore this shirt and not even 30 minutes outside of my house I was harassed while playing with my kid at the park.

Things are going to get worse. Trans folk in the Midwest have known and preparing for it.

I spoke at Global Entrepreneurship Week at Union Station KC on Brand Story & Memorable #Marketing today. Every workshop and session is a little different and I got so many great questions and feedback.

I plan to write out some of the questions I got, but that’s for another day. #gew2024

Part of community building is knowledge sharing, so trying to catalogue the books I have for community education and collective liberation.

Tagging the accounts that I could find:

I’m literally never an early adopter so this was quite surprising to be in the first 10-ish %.

Also I’m coming up on my 1 year as a skeeter so I also have that going for me.

bell hooks sums up how I feel about queerness and it’s sucks people get hung up on the gatekeeping/identity aspect. It’s as much of a social/political orientation as much, if not more so, than a sexual one.

Does anyone else save memes that make them think of their story? This was one that went into the pile.

What are you going to start saying no to?

A FB friend posted this and it’s giving me room for pause. I like posting on BlueSky a lot more than the other platforms that make me feel like I have to perform.

This is going to sound bonkers but a years-old Tumblr post inspired my story. I wondered what it would be like for there to be a nonbinary captain and if I had seen more of myself in the science fiction I’d read as a kid.

More about me: They/he pronouns, I’m a genderfluid, bi, polyam Switch because decisions bore me 😂😂

I live in KC and do marketing writing as my day job, try and fail to roller skate, and have a four year old who’s my fellow chaos goblin.

My idea of fun is multi-hour video essays on YouTube.

I love working at the library surrounded by books. 📚
