These are exhausting times for people who care. We understand. Our intent with this rally is not to exhaust anyone already feeling strained, but to provide a simple thing to post and share, and blast out into the space of Earth, hoping that people who have more resources to help may see it and step in.

Q&A

Why are you calling the GoFundMe a one-time thing?

True, with a small press, the work continues. But we are at a bit of a crossroads right now. We will continue to sell products and probably (sigh) crowdfund to make important projects happen, but this is our one time straight up asking for a direct financial community boost. With your help, we will soar.

Have some specific question that is not answered?

HIT ME. Ask me on Bluesky and I’ll respond. From simple to hard mode; I’ll have an answer. – Emily.
