Could Use Good News; May 13 2026

School’s off to a strong start, I think. I’ve got a table at The Toronto Dark Arts Market this May 23rd, and it’s #WriterPit over on Instagram tomorrow, where I’ll be putting up fun (if poorly made) little posts about the works I currently have on submission or for sale.

Good things are coming, but I’m still having a really hard time with stress. My GoFundMe has stalled to a stop, and I haven’t heard anything about my government benefits one way or the other, which makes me think they’re still not going to correct whatever error got me into this financial mess in the first place.

It’s just been… I don’t know. It’s been a very full month and a half, and it’s rough. I’m having nightmares, I feel like I’m forgetting things. It sucks.

I’ve also tried following up on the court case I’ve had in the works since we were SWAT raided. It hasn’t moved in years and it sounds like it isn’t going to anytime soon, which… I don’t know, it’s just on my mind a lot. I want closure. I want to stop holding my breath every time I see a cop car. I want to stop getting heart palpitations whenever there are weird lights outside, because my mind always jumps to ‘it’s happening again’.

I’m exhausted, is all. I could use some good news.
