Hello!

I'm Vinn, a non-binary mess from the Mountain West. I write fanfic often, fiction regularly, and poetry sometimes. I recently finished my degree in Creative Writing with a Folklore minor after ten long years. I'm currently unemployed and uninsured and have a slew of fun health problems that require regular treatment. If you'd like to support me emotionally or monetarily, please take a look below! Hopefully I’ll have a book out some time this year! Toss a coin or three to your writer, they're doing their best.

I also have a small shop making custom length woven paracord belts with reclaimed buckles in pretty much any length you like! If you’ve been looking for a sturdy belt that’s actually long enough to fit your hips in pride colors or a solid one, please hit me up. They’re $40 regardless of length, free shipping within the US and shipping to be determined outside of it.

Ko-fi here!

Patreon tip jar to support me monthly here!

Gumroad poetry collections here! These are pay what you want.

Printed copies of select works here

Thanks for stopping by!

Top Nine No Skip Albums (as tagged by @concertconfetti). These are organized in the order in which they came into my life, not out of favorite album order. I am a bit of a basic bitch but I'll stand by all of them (yes, even the Nickelback album- NO WAIT LISTEN REALLY)

Tagging really anyone who wants to do this, I am so curious to see people's thoughts on their favorite no skip albums. ESPECIALLY if you don't usually get tagged for games you should do this and tag me.

Thoughts under the cut!

I'm curious. what job would you do if money was no object (you just automatically had an income you could live comfortably on)? including work like volunteering, studying etc. please share in the tags :)

chronic fatigue from mental illness and neurodivergency isn't something you can just will your way out of. your nervous system is part of your body. your brain is an organ. the fatigue is real. you're not lazy. so be kinder to yourself. be gentler with your bodymind.

Twenty years ago, February 15th, 2004, I got married for the first time.

It was twenty years earlier than I ever expected to.

To celebrate/comemorate the date, I'm sitting down to write out everything I remember as I remember it. No checking all the pictures I took or all the times I've written about this before. I'm not going to turn to my husband (of twenty years, how the f'ing hell) to remember a detail for me.

This is not a 100% accurate recounting of that first wild weekend in San Francisco. But it -is- a 100% accurate recounting of how I remember it today, twenty years after the fact.

Join me below, if you would.

PLEASE HELP ME FINALLY GET OUT OF UTAH!!!!

Hi, my name is Vinn and I'm a disabled non-binary person fundraising to move from Utah to live with my partner and metamours in Michigan some time in or near April! I’m intending for this to be a life long relocation, and I desperately need help getting there after a rough year and a half of struggling to find work. While I currently have a part time temp job, my bills eat most of it and my savings are very paltry.

We have a house ready for us (we get the keys on April 1st!!! weirdly not a joke) so I'm not going to be frantically trying to find a place to live and will at last have a safe place to land. I am extremely excited to finally have a chance to live with my partner for the first time, and leaving Utah is the only way to do this.

Utah simply is not safe for me to live in anymore. Day by day, more and more dangerous anti-trans and anti-gay laws are being put in place, and I need to get out while the getting is good. Being in Michigan will also allow me to seek healthcare that is otherwise impossible here, and has a better long term safety likelihood than Utah. While I will always love the Mountain West and leaving my home and family feels like having a limb ripped off, the simple truth is that it's getting dangerous here, and I can see the writing on the wall.

I’ve lived my entire life in the same 25 mile radius. This is huge, terrifying, and something I cannot put off. I need to get out. I don't intend to ever move back, so I'm trying to take as much with me as I can. Please, if you can spare anything to help, this is the first step into a hopefully happier future.

If you would like to help me without having to use gofundme, you can find my Paypal here, my Ko-fi here and my Venmo is @Vinndication. Please share around even if you can't donate! Thank you so much for reading!
