The Trials And Pains Of Being An Introverted or Neurodivergent Artist
My last few posts have touched on how incredibly hard it is to be a creator these days, but there’s a part of it I haven’t talked about yet, and that’s the extra level of difficulty that exists for people who aren’t mentally or socially suited to the way a...
If You Don’t Donate To Poor Creators, You’re Missing The Point
I was trying to get back to creating today, and as I reluctantly updated my Patreon, I was reminded of a major problem with the world of patronage and donations. That problem is the idea that you should lie to your potential fans and customers, and pretend to be successful,...

Creators Are Stretched Too Thin, But They Shouldn’t Have To Be
I don’t think most consumers realize what tiring, stressful, annoying work it is to be a creator. In this day and age, whether someone’s a writer, artist, performer, or any other kind of creator, they’re most likely stretched to their breaking point, doing half a dozen or more things that...
How Patreon Has Damaged Modern Patronage And How It Can Change
Patreon has become kind of a household name. If you’re on the internet at all, you’ve heard of it. It’s a platform that allows creators to get money from fans in the way of per-creation or monthly payments from fans. On the surface, it’s great. Patronage was a wonderful thing...

Anti-maskers are everywhere. It’s sad that these people care more about their so-called “freedom” than they do about other people’s lives.

We Need To Balance Being Loving With The Right Amount Of Fighting
Imagine for a moment: If a woman was being abused by her husband, would you tell her that she needs to be nicer, more understanding, to love him more, and then he’d be better to her? No, you wouldn’t, because you don’t put the burden of change on the victim....

Why Do So Many People Think Christians Are Evil?
I’m sometimes surprised that I still see this question come up on Twitter, FaceBook, Reddit and other sites. It’s usually from Christians who just can’t get their head around why so much of society doesn’t like them. Let me start off here by saying that it’s not all Christians that...

America’s Crazy Metric System Conspiracy
I honestly can’t even believe this is a thing. I suppose I shouldn’t be so surprised, Americans are going completely crazy these days. So, here’s the thing, and brace yourself for this one… There’s a conspiracy theory going around about the metric system, and how America needs to hold on...

Satanic Myths Exposed: Satanists Are All The Same
Since this is the first part in my Satanic Myths series, I’m going to dispel one major myth, and I’ll likely refer readers back to it many times throughout the series. It’s a fairly common belief that all Satanists are the same. By that I mean that folks believe that...
