Text that reads 

My wheelchair lift stopped working
this evening.
It's the thing that lets me get safely in and out of my home. It's also the only way I can get out quickly if there is an emergency.
If anyone has any TTRPG design work, writing, sensitivity reading, anything extra that I could help pitch in on, it would help right now.
Insurance does not cover these kinds of things.

So I loathe having to do this with everyone else hurting right now but the repairs are going to be costly and I would rather earn if I can.

Iโ€™ve already had to pay for parts today but labor is going to be more so if you have any work, Iโ€™m real good at that.

A share would be rad as well.

the best part of 2 frame bitsy animations is trying to make them feel like they aren't just 2 frames. i feel like the stars in this scene pull that off somehow

Overthrowing the government of Iran and installing the shah led to the Iranian revolution and the Ayatollah. Funding the Mujahideen in Afghanistan led to the taliban and Al queda. These unlawful actions could have destabilizing consequences for decades and this will haunt the US for generations.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

My humble birthday girl requests: play Angeline Era, tell a friend, blog about it, or write a review!!

In addition to art, did you know I was story lead? Angeline Era embodies so much of what I've chased over the past few years, from wildflowers to parties to Apocrypha to ancestry.
