Because some of you don't know how to pace yourselves—no, of course, Logan I'd never say that about you—Mondays and Wednesdays are "off." I've also sprinkled in a few 'self-care' days because everyone needs a break sometimes, honey.
Gloves off: that's no lie.
The prompts are divided into three groups: the lies we are told, the lies we tell others, and the lies we tell ourselves. It is no accident the third group is the largest.
Many of these prompts are rather… heavy. Take on the ones that serve you and leave the rest behind.

@tsseventhub and @sanders-sides-events and all, please help us spread the word!
We have got to stop framing our oppression in ways that promote the idea that other people cannot relate to our struggles. Not only does it isolate comrades in the struggle, it actively diminishes recognition of other struggles--often including those even more horrific than what we are at risk of. And this happens especially between Gay and Black struggles.
"when have straight people ever had to check what states were safe for them?" Sundown towns are still a thing. Starlight tours. What states have abortion access? What states have open carry? What states have stand your ground? What states have 3-strike rules? Women, people of color, disabled people, immigrants, and more have had to be abundantly cautious where they travel to. Straight trans people have much more travel risk right now than gay cis people.
It's a new iteration of the same tired question: "imagine if straight people weren't allowed to marry" interracial marriage in the US is younger than my parents. We disgrace people of color by forgetting their history and contemporary struggles, and we abandon queer people of color, Black queer people, by segmenting their overlapping fights.

This would involve creating nine distinct but matching pieces to represent the events of each chapter. I am looking for a style that is complimentary to the chapter header art at the beginning of each chapter on AO3.
I am looking for an artist who would be able to draw the thumbnails for the Syzygy Podfic Project!
Budget for this project is $500, paid in installments as the thumbnails are completed.
Please use the form below to submit your portfolio and the best way to contact you!
