I am so sorry about so much argh landing in your life.
The Swedish Death Cleaning book is awesome. It has encouraged all sorts of useful clearing out of stuff chez moi, which is why Patrick of Patrick's Cabaret whose last name I cannot remember at the moment now has a unicorn accoutrement that was going to be part of a performance piece years ago but was never used. If anyone can get some use out of it, he can. (No, it's not a horn. It's, er, NSFW. And has a tube for shooting a geyser of glitter from it, which I really hope he uses someday.) Highly recommended, that book. A bunch more of my kinky art library is going to the Carter-Johnson Library & Collection ("Never Again Landfill. Never Again Flames."), which has several satellite libraries now. Viola Johnson is the moving force behind the library, and she's already got some things from me. I think she's going to be surprised by some of what I offer her next, because one of the artists whose work I have collected sent me a photo years before I even met Vi, and it's of her. I hope it makes her smile.

The GoFundMe for the queer punk kids house concert folks got worldwide support, which is something that helps in several directions at once. They've closed the fundraiser now after raising $200,000. Also MPR did a reasonably good story about Nudieland and the local punk/DIY scene. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2023/08/18/for-lgbtq-people-in-minneapolis-punk-scene-mass-shooting-violated-safe-haven
