I enabled the new version of the budget section on OpenCollective for @conjured_ink and I really dig this. It's really nice to do our finances out in the open, and I'm really proud that even with our limited finances, our priority has been to fund creatives first.

https://opencollective.com/conjured-ink

Y'all's donations are letting us compensate folks for some of their work, especially folks in need who do work that's not typically done as volunteer work (like open source work. Cause let's be real, FOSS people love giving away our labor).

Our goal is to have employees! With benefits! Being fiscally sponsored by Open Source Collective means we can do things like health insurance for folks paid 30hr+ (full time).

Please boost and share. We'll continue operating with open books so you can see where the money's flowing.

Some of you may know that I had a less-successful attempt at a platform some years back with Banchan Art (think VGen, if it were a co-op owned by the artists themselves), and one of the Big Lessons is that you kinda need money to make money to make the company stay afloat and on-mission. Hence :)

Help sable, a trans woman, move to Minneapolis with her partner, away from north dakota's anti-trans legislations and an increasingly hostile transphobic environment. She's been threatened and harrassed multiple times based on her trans identity. Donations will be used to move and get HRT.

Goal Met: 26% of 30000 dollars
