My new book.
Help.
This is my last-ditch effort. I've been failing for so long that I should be used to it by now, and yet. I don't know how I have any emotions left, but I'm writing this through tears: shame, dread, defeat, horror, all of it. (1/14)

I've been ill and only spotty Internet access. I'm growing more desperate. Car insurance and a payment plan payment for utilities are due in two days and if I don't pay them I lose my auto loan and car and my lights will be cut off. I need $30
0. I have stuff for sale can send list. #Emergency #help

Free book excerpt! From THEY KNEW, on paywalls, the loss of the public sphere, and the abandonment of accountability. Written in 2021, it explains much of the present political information crisis:

So I have one hope left. A friend who can't help with money because of a divorce gave me items from the gift stash she builds all year for holidays and birthdays: brand-new electronics, design pieces, tools, hardware, and textiles. Retail value: $4,000 to $5,000. (9/1

PS: in storage I also have a very valuable collection of well over 1000 Christian theology texts in perfect condition worth several thousands of dollars at least which I am willing to negotiate over as well.

Thank you!

Shipping would likely run a couple hundred dollars. If you're near Kenosha, WI, I can deliver, or you can pick up.

If you can't help directly, please repost or share this with anyone who might. It means more than I can say.
With love and gratitude,

I need at least $3,900 as soon as possible to get my footing back. I've applied for Social Security disability, but that can take months.
I can provide documentation: lab results, a letter from my doctor, copies of my bills. Whatever you need. (13/14)

If you can help, every item is yours. All brand new: premium noise-cancelling headphones, a [700] portable speaker, and more. Great holiday gifts. I'm finishing a full list now and will send it to anyone who asks. (12/14)

That unit holds my mother's ashes and everything of hers that still matters to me.
I'm not exaggerating any of this. 11/14)

I've tried selling them on local apps, but I live in an economically depressed area and no one here can afford them right now.
Meanwhile, I'm facing eviction. My utilities are about to be shut off. And I'm about to lose my storage unit. (10/14)

The only thing I used AI for was the final layout and a grammar pass, work I couldn't do alone or afford to pay for.
It didn't matter. I haven't sold even 5% of what my first book did. The thing I'd pinned my hopes on was never going to save me. (8/14)

What I'd forgotten: fewer people read now, I'd lost the circle who'd buy it, and many would assume AI wrote it. Writing is nearly all I do. Five of these stories continue ones from my first collection, and many are drawn straight from my life. (7/14)

I hoped the new book would match or beat the first and keep me afloat for a while. The first draft ran 594 pages, too long to self-publish, so I cut about half and released it as Minimum Payment Due. (6/14)

When I finally looked it over, I had enough for three short story collections, plus a short novel about the 2016 election called The Election. I don't know how to land an agent or a publisher, so I self-published, the way I had 12 years earlier. (5/14

The anxiety is so bad that even writing this makes me nauseous.
After 2024, I could feel a weight about to drag me under, so I tried to write my way out. I wrote almost nonstop. Some of it was terrible; some of it is the best work I've ever done. (4/14)

I'm ill, and getting worse. Ill enough, by several measures, that I can't hold a job for any length of time. It's all led to a depression I can't climb out of. I've withdrawn so far that I've pushed away nearly everyone who ever cared about me. (3/14

I've downsized my life to almost nothing. I eat very little, and what I do eat is cheap, empty calories that do more harm than good. I wash my laundry by hand. I've neglected my teeth and my health in general, and it shows. (2/14)

So, all Trump is willing to contribute to Nepal and Tibet is $500,000? Are you serious? That number is meant to mock these countries period

This is humiliating on so many levels. Time to invoke #whatwouldDollyDo and shame these motherfuckers into doing the right thing.
