I love making art, but things have been really hard lately. 3 weeks without a commission and only $17 left with bills due soon. If you can, please consider ordering or sharing my commission info 💙 Thank you endlessly to everyone who’s supported me already, it means the world!!

✨ Commissions are open! ✨
My art is my only source of income, and I haven’t had new orders in a couple weeks so if you’ve been thinking about grabbing a commission, now’s the perfect time! 🥰💜

So my therapist gave me an assignment to focus on sending out my care packages that I have had lying around for a while. And so far I have sent out 4. I have 2 more that need to be prioritized and I ran out of shipping funds 😭

Bro, I don't understand women who are anti-feminists saying shit like "people shouldn't be held accountable" for things they say or do like.. I'm sorry, are you dumb? 😂 Also, real feminism is a fight for equality among all genders, not that women are better.

I actually can't handle it anymore lol a spider fell from the ceiling on me (not the first time unfortunately) because there's a garage door motor above my desk. And this time. This time. It landed on my glasses. That I was wearing. On the inside. Not the outside. On my face.

Update: Checking my bank did not help 🙃 Any orders would be greatly appreciated today thanks ♡

Feeling a bit slow and on edge today and idk why? I think my body is still stressed from yesterday's dr appointment.
