Some questions you don’t ask

I get this all the time

“You’re married, do you have kids?”

“No.”

“Oh. Do you want kids?”

“Love to. Hasn’t happened.”

“Have you thought about adopting?”

“Yup. It’s expensive”

My lack of children is intensely painful can people please stop grilling me every time I meet a new person?

Hey all. You may know it’s been rough the past few months. It still is. One way it’s rough is that my family is bleeding money as we try to get a handle on all of my child’s emergent needs. American health care system–yay! (not really yay).

I am starting to sell clothes and shoes and miscellaneous stuff we can live without. I have some old jewelry to take to the We Buy Gold place. The 21st century crowdfunding, please-give-me-money-for-nothing culture is not something I can get used to, so I will offer what I can, which is stories. My current energy level and time constraints dictate that I should not commit to a million things, so here’s what I have to offer:

$75 will get you a story of 3k – 5k words, using yr prompt, written ASAP. This will mean putting aside work on my current daily writing project (also my NaNoWriMo project for 2018), the sequel to Boyfriend Material. So here’s a thing you might like to do instead: $75 would sponsor two chapters of that project. Same amount of work from me, just less specifically tailored to you, and comes with my gratitude for passive income on work I’m doing anyway. Message me to discuss yr commission/get my paypal email address.

It helps me out if you buy At Night in the Floating World (the eBook actually pays me more commission, but paperback sales are awesome, too), or the paperback collection (including a story never published on the AO3) of Dawn Before the Rest of the World.

And finally, if you’re the I-want-to-give-you-money-for-nothing (except my thanks) type, you can click here to buy me a coffee or three.

Thank you in advance, my darlings.

Why is voter registration not automatic for every American citizen of age like in any other democratic country?

🎶 Voter supression is the way parties stay in power! 🎶

That explains a lot.

I just show up at the polling station (which is established in a nearby school for my convenience), present my ID, and they let me vote.
