Woof. How's everyone doing? (Seriously, I want to know. Please comment.)
As these things go, I'm doing pretty well. I'm losing a lot of work but I've been saving most of the money from this patreon for years so I've got a bit of a financial cushion and Johnny is working from home so his salary isn't taking a hit. Hopefully my GTA gigs that have been canceled will simply be rescheduled and I'll make that money back later.
I am incredibly lucky to have this kind of security right now, and it is largely due to you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. (That said, if you need to pause or lessen your pledge right now, I totally understand that!)
If there's one thing I know how to do, it's stretch a dollar so I'm not really worried about myself. But I'm very worried about my friends and family. Most of the people I care about are not in a good place to weather this storm and I don't know how to help them. That helplessness is definitely taking its toll on my mental health.
So how can I help?
I'll definitely be signal boosting for people who need money and are starting up side hustles. I plan on doing a FB thread next week since there's already a bunch of those threads in people's feeds right now.
How can I help YOU? Yes, you, person who is partly responsible for me not having a nervous breakdown at the moment.
Should I post as much art and writing as possible? Recommend media to consume? Hold a livestream so that you can interact with me and other people? Videos of me dancing, or acting, or storytelling, or painting, or doing drag? I'm thinking about a streaming go-go party but I don't want to step on the toes of people who are doing something similar for money.
Or does netflix have this covered already?
