Is a 22 day early "birthday favor" too soon?

A "If I've done anything you appreciate pls repost/boost/give to anyone's mutual aid/emergency commission posts"?

My basic needs are met, but I'm not in position to help more than repost/boost so giving to those in need is like a birthday gift for me

Ok so I already thought about it and I think I will try doing art trades for real !! My sibling is going to try as well. So if anyone is interested comment on this post (I'm too anxious to ask first 😭) but also keep in mind that I only draw animal-like creatures, not too complex stuff and always SFW

People think that when you become disabled, support magically appears

That once it’s “official” you will have your basic needs met

The truth is people fight for years to get the bare minimum in benefits

Caregivers are nearly impossible to find

If you’re not rich or very lucky… you’re on your own

GlaireDaggers🍉🏳️‍⚧️ - KOFI COMMS OPEN @glairedaggers.bsky.social · 21d

Trying not to feel hopeless about things. A couple big payments hit & knocked us even farther off of the goal - about $850 left to cover rent now. Real steep but I gotta keep plugging my commissions & hoping for the best.

Repost, give a few bucks, buy a comm, etc?

GlaireDaggers🍉🏳️‍⚧️ - KOFI COMMS OPEN @glairedaggers.bsky.social · Sep 6

Decided to set up commissions on Ko-Fi again. So now you can order commissions from me on there - I also added a membership, so if you snag a membership you can get a 50% discount on art commission orders!

I'm back from maternity leave and in desperate need of some work. If you're looking for some fun colourful cover designs I'm your guy! Here are some book covers I loved illustrating
Contact me at [email protected]
See portfolio link below

Shares & some reassuring words would be much appreciated

A digital illustrated book cover of Cruise Life - Raining Cats and Dogs by Reese Eschmann. It shows a Black girl chasing dogs and cats on the deck of a cruise while her big brother tries to catch up while holding a cat in his arms.

A digital illustrated book cover for the title Unfadeable by Maurice Broaddus. It portrays a mixed Black girl walking by with her pit bull pet, a bridge is seen overhead her, with some cranes in the background and some key characters in the book watches her from a distance.

A digital illustrated book cover titled The Season of Styx Malone
It shows a Black boy with a cap and sunglasses on, her smirks to the viewer, and within his glasses you see the reflection of 2 other Black boys, one smiling back at him with enthusiasm while the other smiles more hesitantly.

A digital illustrated book cover of a picture book titled Bessie the Motorcycle Queen.
It shows Bessie Stringfield on her iconic Hogs (Harleys) against a backdrop of the Grand Canyon.

EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS

My laptop broke, and I don't have the funds to repair it.
Because of this, I will be extending the time for the promotional rates. I had to borrow a family member's laptop so I can work until I have money enough to repair my own.
I also set up a Ko-fi, the link is in my bio.

Drawn is a dynamically posed taur with mischief and gremlin energy in spades.

Drawn is a MLP pony drawn in a very cartoony style. The character is clown themed and has a ruffle clown collar and party blower with confetti

Pictured is a goth dressed Giraffe with long hair and a nose ring as well as a fang decoration and snake bites. Also the nose piercing is like a bridge over top instead of hanging down the nose. The hands have hooflets that grew like fingernails and the underside has the grippy part of them under it.

Picture of a dragon looking back with long white whiskers whipping to the side. Space and mountains in the background with a space and abstract theme.

Rhea's vet goal only made 20% of the intended total, even getting up to half would help us greatly.

We are on a single income and financially struggling at the moment. Anything helps!

I know my followers are from all over the place but for those of you local to #SiouxFalls please keep an eye out for Stella 💜

MISSING CAT:
At 3:20PM in the Scheels south parking lot.
White and gray cat with blue eyes. Her name is Stella and she is very responsive to it. She is not wearing a collar or harness.
Scheels camera footages shows the cat quickly climbing underneath our white pickup truck shortly before leaving the Scheels parking lot. We then drove to Stensland Family Farms Ice Cream before realizing she was not in the vehicle.
Camera footage at Stensland does not confirm that she rode the whole way underneath the vehicle as she is not seen leaving the truck. We looked over the vehicle there before returning to Scheels to search there. We believe she could be near either location or even somewhere in between on W 41st Street.
*****the latest update is that she was possibly seen crossing north on W 41st near Best Buy around 3:30PM Thursday.
If you have any information about her whereabouts, please contact Sioux Falls Animal Control at 605-367-7000
Or me at 573-208-5913.

Ragdoll cat with blue eyes and a fluffy tail.

A black haired hybrid human, with black goat ears and horns. Their eyelashes are very long with frosted tips, and they show a gentle but happy expression.

A brown and white feline fursona with long, black hair licks the hair of a small white fox with pink and blue designs, the fox is wearing a rainbow dash onesie and fuschia hair bows

A vulpix with pink details and a red cloak laughs gleefully at a gengar presenting her with a small umbreon in a coffee cup.
