Gosh I hope so! So far that park as has had a sensory barefoot path put in, and a little free library, and now we're adding a disc golf course and opening a cliff face to rock climbers.
Eventually we're adding some mountain biking and we're going to do community movie nights and seasonal events!

Good morning friend! You're absolutely doing fantastic work!
Today's kindness upgrade is starting to organize work days for the projects we have planned! Our community is incredibly underserved as far as having free things to do for older kids, teens, and adults so we're working on fixing that!

I may not have money, but I have time, determination, resourcefulness, a kind heart, a willingness to punch bigots in the face.
I may not have much, but I'll share what I do have, because we're all in this shit together.

You know how change starts in your community?
Yeah I just got voted on to the board of directors for a local community park! Our first project is to fundraise and install a disc golf course. Then eventually mountain bike trails, and free community events too!

A picture of me wearing a black and brown floral rayon skirt that I made, a green wool sweater, standing in front of an organized craft space.

See this skirt? I made it!! For a total of $0.
There is a wonderful craft collective where I live, that you can just drop by and get whatever you need for a sewing or other fiber based project, for free. I am about to spend SO MUCH TIME THERE.

Hickman Holler Reading Club x Libby These handpicked titles reflect the stories, voices, and themes close to Tyler Childers' heart. 

Borrow and read them with Libby.

I don't normally promote celebrity book clubs, HOWEVER Tyler Childers is a true Appalachian - inclusivity and all. He's an amazing person, and I would absolutely try just about anything this man suggested I read. The fact that he partnered with Libby? 👏🏻👏🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

A picture of a handmade tote bag hanging from the corner of a bookshelf. It is made of vintage couch upholstery, and depicts a pheasant in a basket of fruit and flowers, in tones of tan brown orange and yellow

If anyone makes fun of my granny bag I will hit them with it.
(Made by me! Fabric is a vintage upholstery fabric picked up at my local craft co op, handles are an old webbed belt. I *love* this bag so much.)

This is Timber! He's a service dog!
He also is on a new allergy med that costs $100 a month.
If you could donate a little to help cover his costs for it so he can keep doing what he's doing, link is in the OP's bio!

A graphic with spooky trees in the background. Text says OOPS BOOK CLUB BOTM OCTOBER There is a photo of the cover of Never Whistle at Night Then the text reads: SHORT FORM FICTION (short story collections, graphic novel, or Novella).

If anyone is curious, I'm still co-running that book club in that discord. We have international members, and our book of the month is Never Whistle at Night! It's sparking some amazing conversations about fears and colonialism. Join us at the Out Of Place Society!

OMG!! That's amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻
I actually picked that one up because I'm doing a 'connections' challenge, and I needed one that shared a word with the title of the first one I'm reading for the challenge (Library at Hellebore). I can't wait!

I have *opinions* about booktok and marketing that I think you would share but I won't post them in a public way because I don't want to harm your chances of getting published 🤣

I genuinely wish the publishing industry wasn't the new fast fashion industry.

(I say this as a reader with disdain for the narrative that all bookish people are reading shitty smut, bc no, no we aren't, and we don't want your weird cash grabs either.)

Reposting again! This is my fundraiser, and we're trying to get a little out from under this debt before winter hits. Please share! #mutualaid #debt #winteriscoming #disabled

Mid week check in. I hope everyone is doing okay. If your body is dealing with extra stress from weather changes on top of the mental stresses, please show your body and yourself extra kindness, compassion, sensitivity, and patience.

I have a ton more lined up after this! I also made the unfortunate decision to apply for about 15 ARCs and now some of them are rolling in all at once 🤭

If you hate Bad Bunny and aren’t too clear on his citizenship…wow, do I have a novel for you! Boricua to the core. Taíno blood in its heart. Full of history and anticolonialism. Angry as fuck. Dark and full of magic. Bilingüe y sabrosa. Come learn…

Bad news: the SSA has once again determined that my panic disorder, agoraphobia, and general inability to understand being social are not barriers to working.

Good news; My attorney filed for my hearing within 36 hours of my denial.

Bad news: it'll take 6 months to set a date.

And so we wait.

A photo of my perspective from my reading chair. In my hand is a copy of Never Whistle at Night. I have a scented candle on the side table, and my emotional support cup next to me. In the background, the dog is laying on his bed, and my bookshelves are loaded with books.

First read of spooky month!!

It's all good! I have my jewelrymaking and my books. It'll come back eventually.

I'm watching it happen real time in my city and damn it feels good.

I love your 'making things' updates. If it wasn't for the crippling depression, I would absolutely be doing the same thing.
I do have 6 unfinished pairs of socks on my knitting needles 🤣

TLDR: We are drowning in loan payments. We want to pay them off so we can stop asking for help.

Please if you can't help, just share it, like it, or comment. Payments are due on the 3rd. Further payment info in my linktree.
