Last update:

We just said goodbye. Her bloodwork came back and she was getting worse. She was so weak and practically a puddle, lifeless and having no quality of life.

Thank you everyone for praying and for those who donated.

Update: vet is gonna try and give a cerenia injection to combat her nausea and then attempt fluids again and repeat labs. If labs come back and they're not great....then Monday is the last day I'll have her. Her bill is still piling up but I don't want to lose her.

My cat, Crybaby, is 9 and was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease. She took a turn for the worst and we're preparing for the end but the medical bill is piling up. 210 is her current standing but if she gets even worse, euthanasia is 90.

Any donation is appreciated.

I'm taking her for more SQ fluids today and seeing if that affects her anymore. If it doesn't then I'm just gonna allow myself one last weekend and taking her in on Monday to say goodbye since my bf will be off work and we can say goodbye together.

Cat Tax of course, I forgot to add pics 🥺

My sweet Crybaby Lynn, you are so very loved.

I'm holding out hope that she pulls through but it's looking really bleak and colorless at the moment so I'm trying to prepare for the worst case scenario. I can't do commissions with con work and the possible goodbye looming over me. I'm so, so sorry to ask.

Oh look, who's that pony?

That's right! I'm officially on art staff for The Hearth's Warming Club this year! 💜

Much love and many thanks for the con for inviting me! 💜

If y'all want a rundown of what happened to SQF, this is the best way to summarize it. In between a con head that was not suited for leadership to literally not having badges printed and cut until the day before (which caused the delay in Reg), it was overall a mess I'd never wish on anyone.

Hibiscus Stitch @hibiscustitch.bsky.social · 12d

I do not post this video lightly or bc I wish ill on the con. I want a con I grew to love to be better. There’s a lot of confusion about what happened with #Seaquestria 2025 and I try to parse out a timeline of events using at the time of upload publicly available images.

If Fandom had stepped back and wiped his hands of SQF and allowed a new con chair to take the reins, it would have been the best course of action. Every time we asked it was "You won't understand" but didn't explain why.

I hate that SQF is ending this way. I hate it so bad.

I still am so upset over SQF. I loved this con so, so much and I had even planned on taking my daughter there when funds allowed because all the staff felt like family. The entire art staff, the entire Tech Ops (I think) and some other staff left.

So I generally don’t get involved in like… talking bad about cons because I know volunteers are out here doing their best and I love that there’s fandom space for everyone.

THAT SAID. I have done so much promo for SeaquestriaFest over the years and I feel like I need to address what’s happening.

I encourage you to check out Befish’s thread: bsky.app/profile/befi...

Every single genuine question we had asked Fandom was met with silence, half answers, or sarcasm including things like “hey where are your staff SLEEPING DURING THE CON??”

🎀 Befish 🎀 @befish.art · 15d

Most of you know Ive been a heavy supporter of SeaqueatriaFest.
This year we had a new head. His name is fandom.
Saying he was a bad con head is an absolute understatement.
I cant begin to describe how awful this con went this year behind the scenes.
