number one important information to this post: Inhuman is GETTING TO PRINT. specifically arc 5! check out the fundraiser for how to get a copy, but also for how you can support the fundraiser and get art in return without spending any money.
sure, it's already funded. but winter is coming soon and hard and i need to stock up on fuel and such. my med costs have gone up, etc. american healthcare bay beeeeeee
i spent yesterday at worcester pride, which was really fun. so many good dogs, so many amazing drag queens, and just generally a great atmosphere of 'we are here we are queer and we will not fucking go away' after the last 8 years. furcons have the unfortunate vibe of 'no politics' and so it was refreshing to me to watch folks being angry and political about the attacks on womens rights, the attacks on trans rights, the attacks on queer kids, the attacks on immigrants, the attacks on black and brown people....... basically all t his shit that should've stopped four years ago but lacking a strong leader to vocally and openly show examples of how to do that means it was kind of like 4 years of trump and then 4 years of trump (lite) here. but there's hope, it's hopeful. that's important. seeing so many people have my back even if they dont know me individually? that shit helps.
also the skies opened up and DUMPED rain on us in the last 5 minutes, but i'd brought a tent and so just threw all my stuff inside and hid there. no problemo.
anyway i will hopefully join again as a vendor next year, which will be the city's 50th anniversary of a pride march.
the lead up was a little hectic. my 2nd gen iphone se was bricked by apple's latest update (surely intentional) and so i needed to rush order a refurbed phone in order to be able to take card payments at pride. gotta say, backmarket dot com always comes thru in a pinch.
i'm still a little beat... that second covid infection combined with the cancer treatment fatigue has me really low on energy now. it makes it a little hard to focus on working for folks, and certianly hard to draw at the speed and frequency i used to.
i'd also like to take a moment to thank people who boosted and donated to my fundraiser to help me get a reliable set of wheels. i love my new little 2006 yamaha vino, and i've named her red. even if i only have a few rides left before the weather REALLY turns against two wheel transit, i'm very excited for things like "now you can go to the doctor on your own" and "if alph gets sick that won't prevent food shopping"
i've been picking up Don't Starve again, and my friend rainy's game Anzu Castle Gracula is coming to steam - wishlist it and help her out!!
i like my new therapist, who's a trauma specialist. i feel like she's a good match for me so far even though we haven't had many sessions yet. when i say things like "im compelled to reach out to my family even though they dont care if i live or die, because i feel obligated and also kind of lonely, but i've been here before and it never ends in them being supportive or loving and also elections are coming" she was like "... then let's hold on doing that for now" which is exactly the reality check i was in need of. don't blow my own stride for some weird guilt they've installed in me.
ah well who wants to even hear about that really. what folks prolly want to hear is that i should be able to resume my Saturday livestreaming this week. you can bookmark it, or just watch one of my regular gallery/socmed sites for the notification banner when it goes live.
i'm also going to be adding a few things to my shop later this week. There's a few art prints left over from Pride (including two dragon poester designs!) as well as one painting on canvas.
eyes forward to the HALLOWEEN SEASON, my friends.
please remember to boost n share the Book 5 fundraiser- there's still 3 stretch goals i'd like to unlock for all backers to include in orders! first one's already unlocked and i am HYPE because at least one of these pieces hasn't had an art print in well over 20 years and one NEVER did before!! hell, there were even rumors that the original art had been burned in a bonfire by weird haters but i am always so smug and happy to say: it's safe, they only burned a print and pretended it was the original lmfao
to celebrate the printing and fundraiser, this month's sticker club is a glittery sparkle version of grey's knife.
there's very few left so if you're looking to get this month's sticker do NOT delay! when it's gone it's GONE!
Join the Sticker Club today!
okay, that's all i got for yall. next time.
