Nauseated (2022)
Wretching and wretched, Wretch again, Until everything inside Is outside And the acid settles And nothing more Tries to crawl it's way Out of my throat And into the world

It was that kind of mindfuck: to be too visible and invisible at the same time, in the ways it mattered the most.

It's been a long year and it's only February…
Well, it's time to put this out there: I've had a fairly shitty few years (like, haven't we all, obviously), but it's included a long, expensive legal battle against unscrupulous cysts, which is finally concluded satisfactorily save being left somewhat skint on the other side of it. Doesn’t help that said battle meant that I had to move house - not exactly a low activity on the expense and stress scales…
So I'm looking for extra work, to help while we wait for the Luxury Space Communism to kick in (I'd settle for Universal Basic Income or an end to the Housing and Cost of Living Crisis, tbh).
Things I do to a professional standard include:
Creative Mentoring and Tutoring (writing and performance techniques, especially for poetry - bespoke or standard workshops available for groups as well as one-to-one).
Project Management (feeling overwhelmed by a project you want to get off the ground and/ or run within budget and timescale? I can help with that).
Business Change Management (you need to expand or shift your business focus? I can help that happen in a well-managed fashion).
Performance Poetry (got a bunch of poems, 18 years' experience delivering them live, and a nice voice).
Writing to Commission (especially poetry, but I write both fictive prose and essays too).
Voice Acting and Narration (I've acted in audio dramas and narrated short stories, training videos, and so far one documentary).
Book and Pamphlet Production (I operate a small press).
Basic website setup and maintenance.
Training on any of the above.
I have a sliding scale of rates depending on customer circumstances, and you can book me for a free initial consultation via my website: https://www.fayroberts.co.uk/crass-commercialism/services/
And if you fancy just sending me money because you're generous, I have a ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/fayroberts

And what of those men you only loved for a night, for the price of a drink and a bed to sleep in, though you never slept, just sat in a window and watched your sisters in leopard, in velvet, walk the streets. Those nights, wide and dark as boulevards. You find yourself glancing up at where you lived in how many apartments and houses, with how many windows? Where, as a child, you watched the stoplights change; yellow-red-green and back, in the postwar suburbs of Philadelphia. Or Chicago’s tableaus: sleepless vigils of doomed loves, regrets, the sick sheen of your skin, striated by streetlamp light, the overflowing ashtrays.
—Jessie Lynn McMains, from "Insomniac Glosa"
I posted a recent poem of mine on Ko-fi. If you become a supporter (one-time or reoccurring) of $20 or more, you can unlock the full poem!

Every Year (2024)
Every year more beyond thirty I keep thinking back to the hospital to the urge to disappear and feeling it all over again wanting to just not exist but every year I persist in spite of that feeling

the first poem for the Acknowledgements tier on Ko-fi is up! 'chronically wondering', influenced by this time in medical isolation.

Hey! Hey!
I'm not crazy new, but this is my first post! So, I'm going to do an introduction:
I'm DeadmansCity
》and I'm active on a not-so popular social media called amino (I go by DeadMan♡ on there)
》I'm transgender/enby, and recently got the courage to go by she/her! I go by anything.
》I'm pansexual, polyamorous and demisexual.
》I'm an ambivert, but often call myself an Introvert
》I'm pretty open minded, and you may use me as a therapist friend ^^ just post it in my asks. (No names if you're venting about a person)
》I deeply enjoy writing poetry, stories, and drawing! You can request fanart! No limits on Fandom, just keep it pg14 :)
》You can even request fanfiction for me to write (I've never written 18+ works, and I have no idea if I may be comfortable with it or not, so, for now, it's off limits) all Fandom tags are the ones I'm active on (and I'll only do xreader, no OC or canon x canon)
