Our community has a tradition of caring for one another in practical ways as well as emotionally. Now one of the best writers we have needs help.

Patrick Califia has had a heart attack. He doesn’t have health insurance.

Patrick’s ex-partner writes:

I’m asking for you to help in whatever way you think you can. Think good thoughts, whatever. Cards can be sent here:

Nobody, but nobody, writes better or more passionately about the kink than Patrick. His work has always profoundly moved me — not to mention getting me off. With The Lesbian SM Safety Manual, he helped pioneer the BDSM how-to book.
