  • Well I keep MEANING to post but it turns out I actually haven’t, soooo there’s that.

    Ooops. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, I suppose.

    I do have two pieces of very good news, however:

    1. Today is our 29th birthday 🎉
    2. Ashley performed “To Dance with a Cyclone” completely off book last night at Linneman’s! Whattttt

    Here’s a video of his performance:

    Have an awesome day, and I’ll do the same.

    Stay tuned for more magic ✨

  • Emerson is home!

    And I appear to be in front. Allēna is exhausted, and so am I, for very different reasons. I also saw Cadmium today for the first time in a long time. Goodnight, all.

  • Emerson and Ashley went to Honeybee Sage yesterday and Ashley read two poems.

    They will roll out elsewhere on social media in early June, but I am going to share them here now.

    He kicked absolute ass, and tbh I think he’s a natural performer. I think he did better than me.

  • The podcast had to reschedule 😭

    However, Laz came out and kinda went ham this evening to make up for it. Emerson was speaking at a panel to educate kids about queerness and sexuality, and the fourth speaker couldn’t make it at the last second. So Charisma McGee stepped in in the other person’s stead and taught a bunch of kids about…. polyamory in a very blunt and honest fashion.

    This was apparently not frowned upon, and was, in fact, encouraged.

    The absolute motherfucker also found an electric piano in the basement and apparently he can play. Really, really well.

    He ended up recording an arrangement he’d cooked up on the fly of a song AllÄ“na had written a couple of days ago, as well as a cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes” and something AllÄ“na wrote so long ago we can’t even remember the name of it anymore. All we know is that she was approximately 13 when she wrote it.

    He surprised the hell out of everyone, including himself.

    On that note, I’m going to sleep here shortly.

    Goodnight.

  • Soooooo

    my husband got paid today. Unfortunately, with the additional cost of adding us to our health insurance, we are only able to pay rent. We need to legally be able to register our car by March 1 and get it insured, which costs an arm

    and a leg and pay for our phone bill and streaming services. Can anyone help out with the rest of bills? We have a lot to cover ($889 USD) but anything helps, even $5 here or there. ✨ I’m gonna put our pay links below:

    PayPal: trinrigel@gmail.com
    Cashapp: $persephonejam
    Venmo: opensorceryy

    Again, anything helps. This is a desperate situation, as we rely on this car for just about everything and these are dangerous times that we live in. If we get the car registered and insured, my husband will be able to access better job opportunities. Your contributions, even interacting with this thread and sharing it, will be helping a queer, disabled couple access a better future.

    I’m willing to make art for anyone who contributes $30 USD or more, write a poem for anyone who contributes $50 USD or more, or do a card reading for anyone who contributes $30 or more. If you contribute $200 or more, I will build you a website. Please email me at magoadportas@gmail.com to claim your service.
