Bouncing between wishing my brain would stop trying to destroy me, and wanting to just let it do its thing. So bloody exhausted with… everything. Everything just feels so incredibly hopeless.
Golden Girls. Tea. Prep to wade through neck-high shite again tomorrow.
Bumping this again. Starting to feel a bit better. Not 100% but who the hell feels 100% these days.
Trying to get some jobs on the books. Stock or custom work. Or if you just want to drop a dono.
Got a KoFi goal going for what I need to hit going into march.

So, I’ve given up on trying to get my tooth fixed, but would appreciate any help to get my meds this week 🧡

Mutual aid request: a few weeks ago, I had a tooth break. Had a temporary fit, but need to have it properly reconstructed. Need to raise £557 more to pay for travel & private reconstruction as my local service for disabled patients has a wait time of 45 weeks.
Any and all help greatly appreciated 🧡
Current fund for tooth repair £0/557

Not saying the UK is completely fucked, but, in my city the wait time for a wheelchair accessible NHS dental appointment is 45 weeks. 45. Weeks.
Now, if I was wealthy and could just fart out the cash to pay private, I could get a wheelchair accessible appointment today… I hate it here so much.
Had a meeting with a (incredibly cool) literary agent from one of my dream agencies yesterday that was very positive… exciting things might be happening this year!!
Just gotta keep on through the struggle bus for a little while longer! 💪🥸

If the Spice Girls taught us anything it was that 40% of women are named Mel.

cartoon: Gomez Addams reads a letter to Morticia Good news, my darling. Cousin Scott is burning in Hell. Good on him for trying new things.

2026 Sketch Bük opening spread.
Trying to treat art as a hobby this year, and just enjoy it for what I’m still able to do with my MS ✌️😤
Clay sculpture of an anthropomorphic red-eyed tree frog family waiting in a miniature bus shelter. The father looks very tired and has one eye open. He is wearing a grey ball cap, plaid jacket with furry collar and cuffs, jeans, and knee-high green and yellow wellies. A baby in bright clothing with a pacifier is strapped to his chest in a black baby carrier. With his right hand, he holds a toddler in a light green raincoat, leaning back with an excitable grin. His left arm is around a frog teenager with her hands stuffed in her purple hoodie pocket. She wears combat-style boots and leggings striped in the transgender flag colors under fuschia shorts. She has white headphones on and looks bored, but is still leaning into her father. The bus stop has a map of the New York City bus lines and a sticker that reads "This Just In - Transness Itsn't New."
Clay sculpture of an anthropomorphic Canada goose waiting at the same bus stop as the previous frog family. They wear a slouchy knit hat, multicolored knit scarf, paint-splattered army jacket, paint-splattered pants with upturned cuffs, and pant-splattered leather boots. They are staring off to the side with their left hand in their pocket. Their right hand in a tan mitten holds a Tim Horton's to-go coffee cup. There is a small pin on their coat depicting a knife.
Clay sculpture of an anthropomorphic red panda child. He is barefoot and wears blue overalls and a green t-shirt. A messy peanut butter and jelly sandwich is held in his paws. Jam and peanut butter are all over his clothing, and he is licking jelly off of his snout.

Vibrant and colourful sketch of Cthulhu, the tentacle faced monstrosity. He has four glowing eyes, a beak like nose, wings coming out of his jawbone and lots of tentacles!

I’m so done with spending 2 weeks out of every 4 struggling to afford to eat…
Even the concept “cost of living crisis” is so wild. Our government has helped create a problem where, the poorest and most vulnerable among us literally cannot *afford* to *live*. Barbaric.
a young man laying on his stomach and propped up on his elbows. He has red hair, a hazel eye and a green eye, and has a flower tucked behind his ear. He is wearing glasses. He holds a book and stares at the camera, slightly annoyed. White flowers sprout all around him. The colors are soft oranges, yellows, and reds, and feel nostalgic.
i colored my flowers. and ambrose, i guess! he'd like to go back to his book now.

Cute chibi illustrations of two characters: Nate Forester, and Lisa Campbell. Nate is a young white man with chin length, shaggy dark hair and a soul patch. He’s wearing black jeans and a Scream tee shirt, holding a rounders bat. He has a nose splint and bruised eyes. Lisa is a young black woman with an undercut bob with blue streaks, an overall gothic style, including a black hoodie, a blue checkered skirt, red tights, black boots and a black choker. She’s wielding an electric iron.
I chibi-died the protags of my latest finished manuscript, Slash Fiction - a gay, Section 28 meta-horror.
Edits and revisions are delayed while I work on stuff for Curtis Brown Creative and Penguin Michael Joseph, but I managed to do this, just for fun 💪🥸
Just typed “The End” on the first draft of my queer meta-horror manuscript..!! Feels good, lads. Feels real damn good.

If you have any isolated friends/family/people in your life, give them a quick call and a check in today in lieu of a text. They probably want to speak to someone, and they’re possibly too proud/too worried about being a bother to make the first move.

Photo of a bald, bearded, Roma man in glasses wearing a large, orange/brown jumper with lots of overlapping capybaras on it.
Spending the holidays alone as usual, but trying to conjure a small amount of joy with my capybara jumper in lieu of an x-mas sweater. It’s not quite working yet 😅
Hope everyone celebrating has a good day. Much love 🧡
