some months back I signed up to do a drag competition in December as Timu Curry. I had one Tim Curry number planned but I'm thinking of throwing out my other and doing I'm Going Home.

If you had $1 Trillion dollars, and you spent $27 Million per day for 100 years, you’d still have $13.8 Billion left. If you had $13.8B, you could spend $350k per day for 100 years, and have more $1B left. If you had $1B, you could spend $27k per day for 100 years. It’s obscene.

even when you have the health coverage, we don't have enough providers. And the lack of providers leads to burnout of other providers. We're very sick.

I read some words by Cory Doctorow when I was but a wee squatter girl writing bad zines: what an artist should fear isn't piracy. It's obscurity. Those words stuck with me and have served me well.

Don't steal my books from local bookstores. That IS like stealing from an individual. Not me, but the person or people who work hard to keep books alive in our culture.

Saw a bit of booksky discourse of authors saying "if you pirate my books, you are stealing from me." So I'll just say: "if you're pirating my books, I don't really care that much." I came up writing zines and the whole point was copying and it was cool and good and punk rock.
