not_funit's 2025 isn't it?
i did mean to write an entry before now. i actually wanted to write one immediately after coming home from ANE, because it was such a good con this year (as usual) and i didn't get covid because of masking rules being enforced. i forget how tired i get now, though. and of course by the time i'd recovered i've got other stuff to do.
to cover the positive stuff first, i finished shipping out the very last of the Chapter 5 Inhuman fundraiser rewards. there's a few copies available in the shop if folks still want one, but what i'm really aiming for is to apply for an arts grant to put funding towards the omnibus printing. i'm still working on writing my application for that but it's nearly finished up.
the sticker club orders for feb are in my mailbox awaiting pickup right now. i really want to thank catgoat of meemu.org for being my sticker printer this month, as my usual printer was moving their production shop. they have their own sticker shop here where at some point you'll be able to purchase a sticker of ren drinking out of a toilet.
unfortunately this is the part where i talk about US political stuff. it's bad lol. but what's really fucking me up more is i approached my family members and was like hey so that actual nazi uprising i kept warning you was coming is here, the one you called me paranoid and extremeist for? and they've got my minority at the top of their list for extermination. want to help? yeah long time followers won't be shocked to learn their response was "no" because they're too busy licking the wounds i inflicted by daring to be right abt something (again)
i dont know why it bothers me, tbh. stage 3 breast cancer wasn't their come to jesus moment where they realized they needed to start listening to me and treating me better. why would the american nazi uprising? instead they're all busy imagining they're going to need to flee the country. all these nuerotypical, cis, hetero, white retired people. meanwhile i genuinely wonder when the bounties on trans people will go national. so, i'm very stressed and feeling very abandoned by biofam. what else is new.
the best i can do, the best we all can do in the usa right now, is wake up every day and decide to make it the fash's problem. being a bad worker, ignoring directives to snitch on immigrants (this is a postal worker one, btw. yes the gov is telling postal workers to snitch specifically on anyone who wants to get a passport for their child) screwing up orders for fash, allowing people you know arent fash to cut the line... theres a thousand cuts to strike these people with and you need to grab onto every and any one. treat them exactly how they'd treat us. it is your duty when fascism takes the reigns of power to refuse to comply with their edicts. the law of the land means nothing anymore when criminals are in power. so dont feel like youre bound to uphold the social contract they're in the process of shredding.
also you know, phsyical violence against nazis is always a good thing if you can get in and out swift enough to not get caught. just saying i would draw so much free art for someone who could free us from tyranny tho......
so. yeah. really dunno what the future holds for me, but it doesnt look great. i plan to fight on and itd be great if you, dear reader, stepped in where my selfish ass family stepped out and could get my back in this fight. if jrpgs taught me anything its that an assembled party of ragtag misfit found family members will be exactly what we need to make it through this.
hang in there. do what you need to in order to keep alive, but hang in there. the enemy is mortal and foolish and the enemy can bleed.
next time
