Holy shit.

The vet quoted us 1,000 to 1,500 to pull a tooth. I just wanted to give a feral a home and the Universe was like, fuck you.

I'd just...rather not hear about how my books are 'so amazing' ever again, even from people who meant it, if I didn't ever have to deal with the bullshit emails made to trick indies into giving them money or information.

(2 of 2)

The spam emails are getting more and more targeted.

Must be running my books through the AI chippers (not hard considering I have them for free on kofi).

I decided to spend hours trying to draw a hand holding a daisy because for some reason a damned hollyhock was just. Too. Hard.

Oddly, it's gone way better.

What a dream...to be a duck walking on hydrangea petals.

Started telling people about the wedding and yiiiikes...so many texts and calls.

It's expected, but holy heck 😵‍💫

But I got through my short list. The partner has waaaay more people to talk to.

Nooooo! Not the funny sex number! That is the opposite of nice!

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

Would anyone else like to buy one of my creatures while I'm preparing packages? Each of my creations are designed, hand-sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. They each take many hours to make.

Cool cool cool. I’ve lost my adjunct teaching job for pushing back on AI being adapted into the program.

The person replacing me doesn’t even have a working website.

My students love me & they’re PISSED.

Real cool of them to do this to a single mom with no notice. I had to figure it out myself!

I'm so sorry! That's beyond frustrating!!!

😆 yes, five.

Five lovely fans!

I don't know what my fingies were thinking. Or doing.

Definitely not what I wanted them to do!

*I don't have that many, but if I had

Good golly, I got some silly fingers here. Can't type worth poo, sometimes!

This also goes for people who live in other countries whose art I adore. Shipping is ridiculous and unaffordable otherwise.

Welp, here's the sign to ducking skedaddle off of redbubble.

I don't have many 5 I had an overseas fan, I wanted to have something on sites like this so they can get art they love.

The options keep getting less and less...

For fucks sake

I saw the email and was going to look at it closer. It...didn't sound great from what I saw.

I've felt very iffy about redbubble because of how much theft happens, so this is a good sign for me to skedaddle methinks.

In the past 24 hours or so, Israel exterminated the only working journalists in Gaza, Trump said "he is going to Russia on Friday" (He is going to Alaska), and the National Guard have been deployed in DC to deal with non-existent crime.

THIS is why normal people can't keep up. We aren't meant to.

I do my best to focus on what I can do, but holy hell...it's just nonstop.

Not only will we continue to demand the release of the unredacted (other than that of the victims), Epstein files, we demand the victims be heard!
We don't care what a convicted sex trafficker has to say. The only voices that matter are those of the victims.
