Unfortunately Hans passed, but the unpaid bills remain and Brett needs help covering them to remain housed. Please pitch in or share around.

Thank you to all who've donated. The remaining funds will go to cover outstanding bills for both the vet and the bills I've let lapse over the last two weeks to pay for this, as well as paying back people who helped me front costs. Thank you all <3

In some good news posting, it looks like things are going well in the mortgage process so with luck and good vibes by mid-next month I should be a homeowner.

Genuinely thought this would never happen in my lifetime.

I was going to stream again tonight but goodness I am just so tired.

But as an aside I do have a minor announcement that I will likely be rebranding soon. When I do, I do not look forward to the process of telling all the people. But I feel it's close to time.

Be safe. Take care. Love y'all.

Hans didnt make it.

His poor little body was wasting away and the treatment was too hard on him. Continuing would perhaps have only prolonged him suffering.

Brett is understandable devastated. Now left with a mountain of bills, most of his stuff sold, and lost his kitten so suddenly.

Please help.

I spent late night and early morning at the ER for myself this time. Broken tooth decided it was time to kill me. Got home at 5am, slept for 3hrs until needing to give Hans his meds, bathed and dried him for his vet appt at 11am, then work from 430pm-1am.

Please, anything helps, I'm exhausted.

My little man isn't getting better. He may have to be kept overnight a few days to make sure he's hydrated and eating right, and I'm working on selling anything I own not essential to survival to get him what he needs. Already sold my bass today for half its worth.

People need to stop being fair with Nazis, man

The facts that some of these mouth-breathers can’t see the difference between platforming “violence” and “iconography associated with ethnic cleansing” is one of those losing-faith-in-humanity moments
