Okay so updates: I tried to sing. I wrote sex ed lyrics to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and then a friend's brother played the instrumentals and remixed my voice and another friend did the videography and then his pal edited it together. It was REALLY fun but clearly I'm not a musician. I'm a sex educator.
The tour plans are unfolding. It's kind of overwhelming really. Part of leaving is making sure to leave everything set up for the time I'm gone so we're trying to get five months ahead on videos and podcasts and that is tough! But worth it!
I don't know for sure how this will all happen but it sounds like there is a donor who is able and willing to cover the cost of the tour. Fundraising has been very slow going and so this is an incredible gift. It hasn't happened yet though so I'm trying not to count my chickens. I'll keep you posted!
My dog. My dog is the number one concern in my life, well, maybe second to the elections. But in my everyday life, she's on my mind all the time. I need to leave and I'm going to but I know that she cannot come and it will be difficult for her to stay. This makes Lindsey very anxious. As a solution I made a Want/Will/Won't list of outcomes and sure enough an incredible option found me. My very first daughter who I fostered ten years ago has asked to watch her. She's all grown up with her own house and kids and cool partner. They live a safe rural area where they can open the door and let the dog roam. She's an artist so she's home all day with the dog. She is good to my dog and my dog loves her. It's perfect! I couldn't be more relieved. And also it's a really beautiful the whole circle of love.
What else? I went to PatreCon in LA. I spoke on a panel and shared my story. It was amazing. You're all amazing!
Gah, there's so much I want to tell you about. First though let me know if this is stuff you care about or if you have questions about other things. I don't want to bombard you. Also, if you could please let me know if there's anything that I can do better or differently to improve our relationship. Would you like me to stop singing? Do you need me to livestream more? Have the videos decreased in value? Should I interview someone in particular for the podcast? I'm listening because it really matters to me that this is as good for you as it is for me.
Warmly,
Lindsey
