Advertisement from me:

I haven't been pressing much about the debt factor but it's a huge reason I keep having health scares/stress, and at this point it's becoming a feedback loop that is going to murder me soon and make my child very poor.

Unless you help me

I'm about 10-12K in MEDICAL debt & depending on how much last week's trip to the ER will cost me, maybe 14K in the red.

I just want to write/make art. I need a consistent way of funding that while paying my medical debt. 2/9

I have a #Patreon where for as little as $5 a month you can read all 160+ poems I've written as well as my novel, & several sci fi/spec fic stories.

(1 poem a week, & 1 story or novel excerpt every other month)

& for as little as $1 a month, you can support my tweets!

I wouldn't BEG like this except that I am having more medical issues & we aren't a Medicare for All country.

& you can pay per month, or you can buy a $60 yearly pass to EVERYTHING I PUBLISH

& because you pay in a lump sum you can look forward to new poetry every week 4/9

& new fiction every other month without the worries of remembering every time the 1st rolls around. Set it & forget it, you know? It all helps!

Been there, done that, didn't even get a T-shirt. Don't donate to me if you can't afford it. If you want there are other ways you can help (first and foremost by taking care of your own needs first!) like sharing my tweets about this #Patreon drive, >

or even just tweeting at me and saying hi! (I didn't get out much BEFORE the pandemic)

But if you have some cash & you like my tweets, or you want to read Native American Poetry, or Indigenous Sci-Fi?

Join my patreon today! That is, if you can bear my puns
