ginny is still in need of support for things like: food 🍎, bills 💸, & medication 
check out her patreon for things she's currently working on, & give a small monthly pledge if you can: https://www.patreon.com/ginnymcqueen
she also has a shop you can get cute anti-facist catwear & cool coffee mugs: http://www.sunflower.cafe/
ginny is a very great human, & also a very great resource to any social media site given her expertise in online harassment.
please support &/or boost!

Cove (http://www.cove-app.com/) and Breathe (https://www.stopbreathethink.com/) might be my two favorite self-care apps right now. 😊
They’re such a delight to use.
