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!
3/9
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!

"But mari I am broke & have nothing except alleyway Starbucks wifi & an android phone with a cracked screen," you say

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, >
6/9
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

7/9
and you want to help a disabled Indigenous plural trans mom pay off her medical debts and help support her family of 4

Some days I am just awake with no memory of waking; not knowing which door i came from, entering a closet of consciousness from a bright sunlight & birch tree scented outdoor dream into the acrid smell of seared steak which fills the starry home in my mind. #endofclickbait
I live like an empress, having gone from homelessness at 19 to living on a goodwill twin bed with a fitted sheet & pillows of my own that no one can steal by age 44. I have a bed of my own that stays in the same place every night. Worn and sagging and mine.
The box springs have cut my hand in my frantic dash to find my phone when I wake up blind without my glasses and unaware of my current bank balance—the exact ticking debt I owe today. Good thing I can access the internet any time I want.

Then I see the text.

The next time you hear someone bring up the racist myth that Native Americans are lucky because we don't pay taxes, keep this image in your mind: these are the taxes I owe for this year that I have no realistic way of paying back cause I'm broke:
This & my medical debt is why all of my followers (& their friends!) should join my Patreon/contribute to my PayPal/Venmo so that I can do the stuff I have to do while cranking out more tweets, poems, art, and stories for everyone.

I'm very worried about my health lately because besides feeling like I'm getting a cold, I've been very brain-fogged. Also, my teeth don't ache; instead, they randomly sting my nerves leaving a weird tingling feeling. It's ominous.

I don't CARE how they interpret my actions because I can't control that. All I can do is follow the 7 teachings of my tribe . I want to heal things & see criminals brought to justice in a fair manner. I want ignorant people to learn and reform & redress. but at the same time >
people are angry. im angry, but I don't want to punch trump supporters in the face. I want cops to stop shooting Black and Indigenous people. I want cops defunded or disarmed or removed. I want the ignorant people to learn and empathize with the harm they've caused.
i know it's a moonshot. But I want to strive for it even when there are Nazis in the streets. Oppose injustice, bring criminals to justice and let people learn and reform. There will be individuals who can't accept this. People whose family and friends
