transcription, thanks to you! and a general update. (Patreon)

hi! I just wanted to check in and say thank you to all of you, and to say thanks to your support, I'm about to hire someone (a single mother and anarchist, rather than some faceless service) to do transcription work for my podcast Live Like the World is Dying, which should make the podcast more accessible to people who aren't able to listen to podcasts for whatever reason.

I clearly haven't been prioritizing my monthly zine, though I really, actively, look forward to getting back to it. Those of you who support me because of that work, I understand if you're frustrated, and I will be catching up on it as soon as I have the chance. Basically, first I was sidelined by the pandemic, but then the uprising, and increasing conflict, has me feeling like my work really needs to focus on helping us keep ourselves safe more directly. Your sponsorship has allowed me to do month-long research projects into protest gear and police weaponry, which turned into various anonymous articles on various platforms. It's also allowed me to work on this podcast.Believe me, as soon as I can, I'm eager to sit down and finish up stories and books.
