helllllloooo all!! a very very exciting announcement - i'm getting top surgery in a month!!

a much less exciting announcement - i could really use help paying for it 😭

i'm running a fundraiser for my top surgery (which you can find the post for here - it's pinned on my main @creacherkeeper) but i'm also hosting a games and homebrew sale lasting until the end of the month!

it would really mean the world to me if yall could spread this post around or check out my games!! this is something i've wanted for a really long time, and would really benefit my happiness, medical well being, and also safety as a queer, disabled, jewish person living in one of the most conservative states in the bible belt

the bundle includes:

all games and homebrew 60% OFF

the full 13-item bundle for only 25 bucks!!

4 solo journaling games - including a weird west storytelling game, a monster augury game, a cozy fairy war bookshelf-driven game, and a photography city exploration game

2 duet games - one a silly comedy interviewing game, the other a nature-driven relationship exploration game

a competitive multiplayer where you play as witches' familiars causing havoc in your village

a system agnostic party bonding game that you can fit into most other multiplayer systems for a fun roleplay session!

3 dnd classes, including a pokemon-inspired class, a con-based half caster witch, and a silly-played-straight dilf (gn) class

1 ghibli-inspired dnd pack, including subclasses, monsters, new races, feats, and backgrounds

1 queer weird west zine, with original poems and collages

spreading the word is sooooo appreciated!!! thank you so much to everyone who does!!! 🤠🤠

FIRST: rachel holst does the adobe & teardrops blog as well as the rainbow rodeo newsletter & zine. look into the black opry also, there are plenty of black queer country/folk/americana artists & there is a lot of collaboration between them and other queer country/folk/americana musicians

my personal list:

adeem the artist (especially the new album, white trash revelry)

paisley fields (stay away from my man is a good old fashioned honky tonk jam about gay on gay violence)

jake blount (the new faith is an afrofuturist album using roots music to explore life after climate collapse, HIGHLY recommend)

sarah shook & the disarmers (especially the album sidelong, ESPECIALLY the songs fuck up & dwight yoakam)

lavender country (everything but especially cryin' these cocksucking tears. patrick haggerty sadly passed in 2022 and we lost a real one. he self-described as a screaming marxist bitch)

flamy grant (okay so. bible belt baby is Technically a christian album that i was tricked into listening to. but listen. what did you drag me into is an instant classic)

mercy bell (especially who said we were friends. i can't hear the lyric "mea culpa/here's a gulpa/my drink in your face" and NOT recommend it)

amythyst kiah (if you haven't heard black myself by now what even are you doing. go listen to it)

do you want to speedrun a depressive episode as a queer woman who fears you may have too much in common with your father? listen to i drink by mary gauthier now

karen & the sorrows (there is a lot to recommend karen pittelman and the work she has done for queer country artists but i'm a useless lesbian so i'm submitting for consideration a photo of the red dress from the mv for guaranteed broken heart that i think about a normal amount:

discovering the queer country scene has honestly been so healing because most queer musicians i've seen recommended for years i just couldn't really connect with because it wasn't the sort of music i listened to or had investment in and with queer country it's like. yes. this is the language i speak in. this is Fuck You, I Belong Here Too, not just as a queer person in the country but as a rural person among (sub)urban queers, and saying it with a laugh. when will my hometown take pride in me, goddamn it
