--UPDATE--

ok, um, donations closed after an incomprehensible outpouring of support. thank you, everyone! I am in shock! more importantly, I'm about to be debt-free! I don't know what any of this means for the future or for my career. my brain is not built to fathom this! I will let you know when I figure it out.

thank you so, so much.

between back taxes, fees, a credit debt currently in collections, and bailout loans from loved ones, running Innuendo Studios for 11 years has put me over $87,000 in debt. I am suspending the channel and getting a dayjob, but would welcome anyone wanting to pitch in to help with the debt.

breakdown last I got numbers:

back taxes and fees: $59,075 (assuming I can correct an inaccurate audit from 2019)

credit debt currently in collections: $18,957.93

loans from loved ones: $9,331.25

total: $87,364.18

I am not expecting to get all or even most of this from GoFundMe, but any help is welcome.
