Social Justice Valentine Week (Patreon)

Buying an apartment is really fucking hard and seems to be going particularly badly for me. We were supposed to close last week but, due to circumstances completely out of my control, it was pushed back to today. And then it was pushed back to MAYBE the 21st. I have movers scheduled for the 23rd so...cross your fingers for me please. Burn some candles. Sacrifice a goat. Whatever it takes, really.

Between packing and overwhelming stress, I haven't been terribly creative. I managed to make this valentine for my girlfriend, but not much else. Johnny and I have pushed back both his birthday and valentines day till we are less stressed/angry/depressed and better equipped to celebrate.

But one thing I am excited about right now is my social justice performance week. Saturday I'll performing in DC to raise money for survivors of abuse and assault. Sunday I'll be performing with The Satanic Temple to raise money for reproductive rights. Wednesday I'll be performing with White Elephant Burlesque and doing the go-go gives back program to raise money for the National Network of Abortion Funds.

I didn't really plan it this way, they all just landed on the same week. But I actually really like this idea of having a concentrated time of just fundraising shows. I'm not sure if it's more or less effective than spacing them out, but it seems like bundling them together could help increase the hype around them. I wish I had the mental energy to really push it on social media, but I'm doing the best I can.
