hello blog friends
it's august and i'm currently juggling a depression episode and also a wisdom tooth coming in (and it is ANGY) so this may be short. i was worried i was going to get symptomatic because covid hit my spouse this month (again, even tho we mask) but it seems to have not really laid into me this time. i felt like i had a mild head cold, and one day i coughed up some streaky blood, but that was it.
given the 2 week limited immunity following infection, we went to the gem & mineral show in springfield like we try to do yearly. it was fun, it always is. lots of huge fossils this year, and a few new folks selling less rock-related items like taxidermy & wet specimins. i generally feel like i pay the 10$ entry fee to touch all these things that ordinarily would be behind glass in a museum or are otherwise fully out of my budget. Touch that geode that's taller than you are. Poke one of those crystals that costs more than you make in three months. Do it.
i'm in the middle of working on some art projects for clients, but i'm also in the process of trying to get inhuman arc 5 into print.
yep... it's true. finally arc 5 is fully touched up and edited all nice. i added the web rez versions of this new edit to the site (replacing the old ones) as well as to the itchio archives, so you can read the "new" arc 5 right away if you want.
but to help arc 5 get to print: it'd really do me a solid if you went to this site and joined the crowdfund campaign mailing list.
>>Join The Mailing List, Pretty Please!<<
you don't have to commit to purchasing to join, and the metrics help me either way.
they've moved me to a trauma specialist with therapy, because growing up with a waffley narcissist having custody and then getting stalked for over ten years by ex-friends because you came out as trans & couldn't wish away depression will do that to you.
please also consider supporting me via kofi, especially if you're willing to make a recurring pledge like the Sticker Club tier. This helps me actually pay for therapy instead of slowly get into more debt because of it.
my support was seriously damaged when i got cancer 5 years ago (it's a big trigger, i understand why folks might leave me on my own for it) and then damaged again when i survived treatment (????? ok guess i shouldve died) and it has been a serious struggle since then. like 2/3 less income, for 5 years. so please help out if you once did before and/or if you are able to now. i am, no joke, more on my own to deal with shit than ever before. family decided partying with folks who want to deport me or whatever is way more fun than supporting my human rights, and close friends decided ketamine was a way better friend than i could be. or that i should be their new mommy/daddy in their 30s. it sucks. i'm tired. i just want to be able to get shit taken care of like a wisdom tooth without having to worry, or feel like i'm selling my soul to abusers and being berated just for needing help.
yeah. fun times.
i'll try to get streaming on saturday but my energy has been garbage for days. fingers crossed.
see you around...
