clips from patreon, july-aug. i post poetry and sometimes art on patreon, but mainly my patreon is a strand in my care web. i’m hoping to grow it into one of those huge over-the-river kinda webs. link is in my linktree but i’ll also toss it down here: patreon.com/tashafierce

will you help me survive and create by becoming a sustaining donor? 💗

hey all.

so remember how i was like “i got a job!” on the last fundraiser? well i did, but i have still only seen $60 from it because i only get paid once a month and i didn’t realize there was a month+ delay from when i started before i would begin getting a check. meanwhile the world is being chaotic as it is, things continue to cost money and needs keep popping up we don’t have the $$$ for.

it sucks. i’m tired. i’m extra tired of working for the last 2 months and STILL having to do these fundraisers.

rn we are facing a $900 bill for my partner’s emergency dental surgery - we need this by 9/10. i also have equipment i need to help my body do this job without breaking down: a chair, desk, compression braces for my hands and wrists, anti-fatigue mat so i can adjust my position cause sometimes i am sitting for ten hours straight to make deadlines, and that’s not cool with my fibro. AND WE REALLY NEED A NEW MATTRESS but that’s neither here nor there. what’s here is threatening our ability to make rent/bills this month if we can’t raise more $$$.

so i’m asking for help again to cover this emergency and with our bills/extra expenses. we need $2532 total. i am really hoping this is the last time but who knows. all i know is that i am so grateful to everyone for your financial support, your shares and likes.

tl;dr: we need $2532 this month for dental care, rent & bills, & food. we need at least $900 of it by 9/10. please donate if you are able, share if you aren’t. thank you.

Posted @withregram • @harrietsapothecary won’t you celebrate with me
what i have shaped into
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?
i made it up
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight
my other hand; come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.
~Lucille Clifton

Day 30 :: Celebrate the many ways you are figuring out how to live in these hard and complicated times. We see you. We love you.

Thank you for honoring Black August with us.
