Friends of Jaybird

Jaybird is the writer and illustrator behind the tumblr comic Platypuss, and over nearly two years, they have loyally shared their story of pregnancy and parenthood from a genderqueer perspective. As Jaybird's story reached the thrilling and much-anticipated birth of their daughter Cricket, it took a sharp turn to the dark.

As of now, Jaybird is alone in raising Cricket. They had to leave their home and move more than an hour away, but their living situation is currently unstable. By the sheer power of Murphy's Law, Jaybird was in a horrible accident that destroyed their car as this was happening.


Jaybird is currently working full-time in retail but daycare is sky-high and they are afraid they will not to be able to obtain a vehicle and start their life over again with their daughter with the urgency that their current life demands.


As Cricket's first holiday approaches, Jaybird wants to have something to look forward to besides the pain of celebrating without the family that they had planned for so long. The loyal fans of Platypuss suggested this site as a way to help offset the cost of parenting and hopefully begin to raise money for a car for Jaybird and a home for Cricket and Sink Drain.


if you are new to platypuss, please check out the comic from the beginning here! even if it's a sad ending to a chapter now, there are a lot of bright spots and things to learn.
