It is Thanksgiving this week, which means it's a good time to acknowledge the land we live on and the Indigenous peoples it belongs to. By no means should this be the only time we acknowledge that.

I live on Iroquois land, specifically the Mohawk region. (1/2)

62% goal met. That's 2 months of breathing room. It'd be nice to reach 100% BUT this is already a huge help. Monumental. Thank you to everyone who contributed or shared.

19% turned into 59% overnight that's two months paid for and some help towards the next month. So that's amazing in just a day of having this up.

I know things are tough all around so it means a lot that people are willing and able to help.

I'm 19% into my Ko-fi goal which means I got health insurance for another month. Meeting the full amount will give me a couple months' worth of breathing room to find a more permanent solution so... Any contribution or share helps. And thanks to everyone who helped or messaged to express support.❀️

I used to really really love SVU and over the years I think I came to the realization that I just really really loved Mariska Hargitay.

Thanks for the host #LateNightWrite! Instead of linking to writing (as I haven't posted any new writings yet) I'm going to link the donation page for Blender (because modeling parts of your story helps with writing them)! Blender is Free and Open Source Software, by the way. fund.blender.org

#LateNightWrite I only ever picture animated adaptations of my stuff and ngl... If I could have anyone I'd love so fucking much for Ashley Johnson to voice Rae. I think she would capture my dumb lesbian chosen one so fucking well.

Amaya is a little trickier though.

So, I hate to be coming here for stuff like this, especially when I haven't been very active like I used to... but I am very stressed about this in particular and I don't have much recourse right now. More info below, if you'd likeπŸ‘‡

I cannot stress enough that I would rather be getting work than having to ask for help like this. So check my services or idk... if anyone knows any opportunities for someone whose skills involve translation and/or knowledge of Brazilian Portuguese... Help in that regard would be extremely valuable.

Look. I don't remember making this one. And tbh? Not my finest work. So can we all just acknowledge it and move on because with one more preorder Opus passes Woodpusher for all-time preorders
