lb_leePutting this here because forewarned is forearmed!
After we die, we plan for this entire blog to be unlocked and made public before being made into a Memorial Account. (Which would allow new comments but no new entries.) Since we will be dead and have no need of money or reputation, we will want our work to be as freely accessible as possible, and you can help with that!
When we die, our friends will be going through and getting rid of our belongings. Most of our stuff will be yard saled, thrift shopped, or thrown away; if you want something of ours, see this post. Our remaining funds after end-of-life expenses (if any remain) will be split evenly and donated to various organizations. This is a lot of work for grieving people to do, and you can help them in the future! How? By (after we die, please, not before) pirating our work!
I mean it. When we die, pirate the fuck out of everything we have ever made. Spread it everywhere: the locked shit, the embarrassing old crummy shit, all of it. Everything. Make it free and easy to find. Some places to start:
After we are dead, you have blanket permission to rehost, mirror, and upload anything we have made anywhere you want, as long as it's free.
Helpful links, should you want to do your own will planning:

- AO3 (for our fiction prose)
- theanarchistlibrary.org (for our nonfiction prose and text-only transcripts of our comics and zines)
- archive.org (for comics PDFs)

Helpful links, should you want to do your own will planning:
- End of Life Planning from the Order of the Good Death.
- Five Wishes: a living will and advance directive written in everyday language. Costs $5. Mac found a copy at his church at the time, so it's what we used.
- Medcure: USA, mostly nation-wide org for donating your body to SCIENCE! at no charge if you get accepted.
- State of Massachusetts MOLST and DNR forms: turns out it's pretty complicated to get people not to resuscitate you! Different places have different rules.
