On Permission and White Writers - A great read, and also kind of hilarious. White writers, book mark this and keep it handy, yeah?

12 dozen places to self-educate yourself online for free. I can't speak to the quality and accessibility of all these links, but I do know that learning new stuff and researching is part of being a writer, so if this helps anyone out there, there you go.

help_for_ephemere is still going strong! There's lots of stuff to bid on, including some books and journals from yours truly as seen here and here. If you've got a few extra dollars, there's lots here to find. And if you don't, well, signal boosting is also helpful. The more bids, the better!

help_for_ephemere

From the comm itself:

This is a fundraiser to benefit ephemere, with the aim of supporting her in the wake of her losing her job, home, and good relations with her family due to homophobia. The idea of this fundraiser was conceived by friends of ephemere, and is being run with her permission. Funds will go to rent, utilities, food, and medical bills.

We are accepting donations (please contact the mods via PM for more details) & are also running an auction as follows:

The auction will open for offers on Thursday, July 5.

All auctions will open for bids on Thursday, July 12.

Bidding will be open from Thursday, July 12 at 21:00 GMT to Saturday, July 21 at 21:00 GMT (time zone converter).

Please see our FAQ for more information!

Signal-boosting, offering items for auction, bidding, & donating are very much welcomed & encouraged!


So, please, signal boost or offer up something if you can or donate. I can personally say that ephmere is one of the best people ever! If you've never seen the artwork that ephemere does, or read such searing, true writings that she writes, you need to!

Writers and artists of her caliber come around very few times a generation, and we need to keep those writers (especially the ones who are most at risk) around and healthy and creating joyously as best we can. Trust me, the world is more beautiful for what ephemere creates and for just her being here on this planet with us!
