I think straight and cis people really have no idea what things are like out there for the rest of us. I’ve received minimum one paper Like That per year since I started teaching, if not one or more per semester, all of which contained varying degrees of blunt hate speech directed *at me* lmao

if you're on the fence: the sale of these anthologies does a lot. this year, profits from 1 full-price anth sale are able to pay 3 contributors to next year's publications!

the nilfgaardian connection

imperial audience

this is such a fucking steal. working with nat is a treat, so don’t miss your chance to do so on the cheap!

thank you, it has been SUCH a year already and i am so tired ❤️‍🔥

re: yes, i know i can’t catch a break through an error on the state's part that i am currently in the process of appealing (ugh), i am potentially ineligible for health insurance for the rest of the year. if it sounds like i'm panicked, you're right; i take a medication that i very badly need to survive and it's about $450 with goodrx ($1400 without). big pharma woes aside, i need more meds soon and have no way of paying for them. here's where you (maybe???) come in. you have a poetry chapbook manuscript. you want feedback on it. i will do that for the low price of $50 per manuscript for up to 9 people to offset the cost of this prescription. poetry (and prose poetry) only. up to 40 pages, hard cap. please EMAIL me to secure your spot (no dms).

tl;dr i am offering up to 9 people a very cut-rate manuscript consult to pay for vital prescription drugs
