so gorgeous my eyes do not feel worthy but, loves - they are We sing. We comfort. We care. We rise. www.instagram.com/p/DKu7-RVM_O...

Thank you to @kickstarter.com for featuring our fantasy art and story book, a soothing journey for nighttime or anytime, in today's "Get into these breakout projects" newsletter! 💚 You can check it out here, with rewards starting at $1: www.kickstarter.com/projects/att... #Kickstarter #ArtBook

And no, I can't do it now. Been burned too many times by how hard things can stall. Show it some love, show some momentum, bring it close to 30. And I'll announce it.

I would really like to make this announcement tonight. That would make me really happy. I know this is not a good time for an Emily Rally for several reasons. But I'd really love to get to 30 (or real close) to announce this and we're *so* in reach so, uh, if you feel it, please share the book.

❤️ THANK YOU ❤️ person who just bought my two book bundles.

I'll never ever stop believing in people. Anyway, just be kind and take care of each other.

Also, whoever is looking at the page from "Richland" I feel like you could spring for some original art and get us right in reach of the big surprise. Or maybe it's just what they call the place.

*draws on long bejewled metaphorical smoke holder* Get us over thirty, and I'll announce two things, one I've wanted to say for *years*. Got some momentum today - some fresh posts or quote shares from @atthisarts.com could push it rolling. *draws* *leans back* *makes seductive eyes* *exhales*

So, again, comprehensively inclusive programmers for any event where their committee is answering to either the old guard or larger org / corp are *also* going to make at least one white guy feel like it's not as much "their space" anymore, and they'll get you run out and the other wp won't stop it.

For people feeling strange about promoting their art, please read this. Share art, sell art, talk about other people's art. Mostly - just create. Create with joy and without reservation. We *all* can create, and it is *all* defiance. ❤️

Anyway, we do have another "Celebrating Art" guest post today! I haven't read it yet, am truly handing over the mic on these (to people I trust!). Then another post by one of the *beeest* people on Thursday morning, and I think - I THINK - two surprise announcements Thursday PM. I'm so excited!

And no I'm not trying to reach the abusers or the neighborhood cops with this. I'm trying to tell the "but what can I do" people, idk, maybe standing up for good people in the ways you can and not chilling around with Aaron and Erik like you don't know the harm they're causing would be a start.

English-lang North American genre spaces are letting cis white men act like self-appointed neighborhood *cops* and people are just oh welling it, and no I won't shut up because I don't trust they everyone won't follow these same patterns on the macro. They call it aggressive when I care so deeply.

Yes and not having it happen to you will depend on your silence and compliance. Which is why I've been so vocal about seeing that exact reaction on the micro. This must be addressed. "But those are just" (conventions / podcasts / invitations) gives me no ease; quite the reverse.

Ah it's so perfect tonight. So perfectly Michigan. But also almost tomorrow. I should get in and get to bed. I look forward to tomorrow. With joy. And with you. *happy sigh* ❤️

Every day, I think of Ihor and Jubilee. Their stories are important, joyful, and ... still here.

okay yeah holy shit that moss i want to lie in it

I've backed this! So excited, and also this is the artist who's been inspiring my recent pieces for Cupcakes and Graveyards!

Just so thrilled to see where we're at. Should go to bed soon, but it's a perfect Michigan summer night, and I'm savoring the moments out in my tent. www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...
