the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

Sorry if I seem to be harping on things a bit much today. I spent a portion of my adult life DIRT FUCKING POOR. Once, while out of work for three weeks, a friend (a 19yr old waitress) bought me two weeks of groceries and kept me alive. I've never forgotten that kindness and aim to be more like her.

BIG SHOP UPDATE AND SALE :)

Big ole update featuring: umas, new minion buttons, new xiv charms, and lots of charm restocks. To say thank you to everyone who was at Gateway Fate and couldn't get charms they wanted due to the late shipment, I'm running a 10% off sale for the next week!

I think about this a lot.
