Some of you may be wondering: why are y'all asking for help with a personal loan when you run a business (two, actually)?

I'll put together a post this weekend that details more, but the short answer is: our business and personal finances are separate.

Asking for help sucks, because I've been conditioned that means you're a failure. I'm trying to break that cycle.

We've got a rather large monthly bill from a loan we took out to cover expenses while I wasn't working.

Help, share, spread the word!

They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Thank you, anonymous donor, for being the first to offer your help!
Duke Norik @UrsaAstra
Any and all help is appreciated. Every donation, but also every share is a great help and does make a difference.

Thank you in advance for your help!

We pay $398 a month towards a loan that we took out to help us through the year I wasn't working (a self-imposed break because of my declining mental health after two straight years of pandemic "crunch"), and I would really appreciate your help to pay that off.

I got that "need to make something" itch again.

This worked well last time, so let's crowd source again.

What color(s)?
Sparkle or no?
Glow or no?

If employers weren't legally obligated to get you your W2 by the end of January, you'd get it on April 13.

Not that a cis white male's opinion is needed, but Echo is goddamned fantastic.

Requires no knowledge of the MCU, no knowledge of comics, and can be watched over five weeks, five nights, or five hours, however you roll.

It's not for little kids but teens and older will love it.

I'm only halfway in, but anyone who says Echo is not good, not worthy of the Marvel name, doesn't stand on its own, or whatever mealy mouthed bullshit is an idiot and/or not paying attention.

Is it Avengers level threat? No, but neither were the Netflix shows. Same quality.

Starting to see takes on Echo, and I'm thinking maybe if you're a cis white able bodied dude, sit this one out. Especially if you'd never heard of the character until she appeared in Hawkeye.

This ain't for you, the world doesn't need your opinion on it.

Not to be pedantic, but I saw an article saying some generic white guy was gonna be Frankenstein in a new adaptation, and I actually had to read the article to find out if they meant he was playing the doctor or the monster.

Words matter, folks.

Alright peeps, I feel like making something tonight. But let's do some crowd sourcing.

What I need from you:
A color (or two)
Sparkles or no sparkles?
Glow or no glow?

I have recently acquired a BUNCH of new molds, many not at all in my usual style.

As such, I will be doing a lot of "Break the Mold" style sales this year. I.e: I will list the item and throw in the mold it came from gratis, so you can buy literally one of kind items.

Trying to use my straight white cis male privilege for good, here. A 🧵.

I am currently out of work on medical leave (had surgery on my right wrist to repair the tendons and remove a benign cyst. I'm fine.).

This is what I'm talking about. I made gnomes for a giveaway, but maybe I make more?

Maybe I make something completely different. Dice? Skulls? Flowers? Coins for tabletop games?

Maybe I make my own game, or write a collection of short fiction, or post a series of how to videos?

Sky is the limit!

2024 is the year I get back to making stuff. Some will be for me, some will be for sale, but either way I'll update the store once a month with new loot. Commissions will be open, too.

Stay tuned for more, but in the meantime, check out below:

Getting real goddamned tired of logging into Netflix and getting blasted with the latest "edgy" shitbird comedian who thinks it's funny to punch down.

Step one: put on these heavy boots.
Step two: walk into the ocean.
Step three: profit.

If you give your kid a brick for Christmas, don't act surprised when that brick goes through your windshield.

Unless something real weird happens in the next couple of hours (while I'm watching Die Hard), I survived Whamageddon with getting Whammed once. In fact, the only thing I got was few bars of a cover version on The Santa Clauses.

What if we....just gave everyone money? Every month?
Keith Boykin @keithboykin
Researchers gave homeless people $750 per month for a year, no questions asked. The recipients spent the money on food, housing, transportation, clothing, and health care. And after six months, only 12% of those who received funds were still homeless.
