I have made a new fundraiser for a fresh start in our ongoing journey of surviving homelessness. If you would be willing, I’d deeply appreciate any shares or even just kind words of support. Thank you. gofundme.com/f/ongoing-suppo…
this is what @britnope thought the story was, if you’ve been wondering what life was like since she left this hellhole

A lesbian bar in Greenfield eased its stringent mask mandate, a decision that has splintered the queer community in the city and beyond. trib.al/FyZjBWs
We’re celebrating THE SHADOW SISTER’S third birthday the way we celebrated her second, with a library presentation!
This is your only chance until fall to attend my most popular writing workshop!
Join me at Woodmont Library to discuss fanfic and creativity!

At the TOY STORY 5 premiere, halfway through the end credits, the screen went up to reveal… Taylor Swift!
This is NOT the birthday vibe. They didn’t tell me when they said the sliding scale appointment in March wouldn’t charge me because of my income that didn’t include the labs they MADE ME take.
This is why I’ve been avoiding the doctor since I lost my insurance. 😭
Now that I am off double deadline, I can focus on what truly matters: my birthday is in two weeks!
There’s only two things I really really want. A new ice maker for surviving summer in the camper and a Jurassic Park panini press for warm sandwiches. amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1S…
SHORT STORY TURNED IN. Both of this month’s deadlines are done and dusted! What a great early birthday present to give to myself for June!
It’s eased a bit but my brain is still foggy. I think today is lost but if I take it easy hopefully I can catch up tomorrow. Please keep sending healthy vibes!
I have the WORST migraine and a deadline in four days. Please pray to whatever god/universal force you believe in for this to pass and grant me good health for the rest of the week.
I just need a brain until Friday! The pain can return on Saturday, as long as I get this done!
four different positive shadow sister posts this week
all from different readers
three of them from TODAY!
it means so much to me to see my debut still finding people, especially as I try to find a home for my next original work
thank you!
Just under 2 hours and over 1,200 words! It was really intimidating to dive into this story but I am super proud of myself.

So excited for my first @norwescon this weekend, especially attending as a paneling author!
My mother and I will be around all weekend for bookish fun. Here’s a quick reference of my scheduled events for each day. I can’t wait to make new friends!
Will I see you there?
Boosting again as we have to leave for a writers conference tomorrow and it’s looking like we’ll need to rent a wheelchair for mom, which will be around $160 (before tax/fees) for the weekend. Please share!
We also have Venmo (@Lily-Meade-1) and cashapp ($lilymeade).
EMERGENCY UPDATE: Mom fell and hurt her hip last week and while (thankfully) it isn’t broken, she needs rest and time to heal. We need some additional support during this time of lost income so we can both focus on her recovery. Please share. ♥️ gofund.me/187754ed5
Took Mom to the ER because she fell and hurt her hip. Scans came back negative for a break (so grateful!), but she’s heavily bruised and advised to take it easy for the next two weeks.
That will be really hard on us financially, so if you could boost that would be such a help!
MARCH UPDATE: It’s been a rough month mentally for me mentally, but I’m trying to focus on the good things (however few and far between). gofund.me/606db9970 1/2
In addition to the linked support options, we also have Venmo (@Lily-Meade-1) and Cashapp ($lilymeade).
Mom usually does grocery delivery for income but obviously can’t be picking up heavy items or walking around a bunch right now.
