Familiar Friday! No, I didn't forget, I was at jury duty and got called immediately lol. But I got out early, so I'm done for a year!

Anyway, enjoy this very early morning pic of Artemisia watching Bridgerton with me 🥰 (Ignore the mess, I'm renovating)

This is my video editor. If the cuts feel a little choppy, please be patient. She's still learning, and she doesn't have thumbs.

Now, I understand that Patreon isn't for everyone, a monthly subscription is difficult to justify in this economy. So I have also resurrected my Ko-Fi, and will be posting one or two of my Patreon posts over there. So it's not as full as Patreon, but still 👌 very good.

As a little extra gift, the first ten people to join, at any tier, will get a character named after them!
