🚨EMERGENCY MUTUAL AID & PET DOODLES FOR NALA🚨
one of my dear mods is going through a hardship right now, their cat has passed away. this has left them with vet bills they cannot afford on their own. i'm drawing pet doodles for anyone who donates at least $5 USD to tea's kofi!

ko-fi.com/tealaine

a graphic with a pink background, floral elements. there is a photograph of a grey tabby in the middle. below it says [pet doodles for nala, $5 USD for a doodle]. in the bottom left it reads [ko-fi.com/tealaine] with the text [twitch.tv/tealaine] in the bottom right

a pink graphic with pink and purple floral motifs. the text reads with a header "Pet Doodles for Nala" below that is a paragraph that states [we are raising emergency funds for our friend tea! Tea(they/them) is currently having to prepare for end of life care for their cat nala. Their partner recently underwent a surgery that has left them unable to work while they recover. Due to this and because we want to support tea in any way we can, we are raising funds to help cover the vet bills for this care. If you are able to donate or share the link; it is so appreciated. @xeniaL8r @mostlikely_marsh and @technically_cute will be offering doodles for any donation over $5! Please get in touch with xenia through twitch whispers or bluesky dms with pet refernces for the doodles. Please like and share the post and kofi link, thank you! <3 ] below that it reads "Thank you for your support!"

a pink graphic with pink and purple floral motifs. the text reads with a header "Pet Doodles for Nala" below that are four drawings done by xenia. the top left drawing has a light blue striped background with the bust portrait of a grey parti poodle donning a teal color, with the name "bastien" in all caps beneath the bust drawing. to the right of this is another drawing with a green meadow, white flowers and a German shepherd lying in the grass. in the bottom left is a drawing of a white and blue parakeet perched on a branch. next to this drawing is another bust portrait of a tan/grey tabby munchkin cat, the background for this drawing is a soft seafoam green with stylized white daises.

Wearing a mask is an act of resistance.

Protecting your health and the health of those around you is community care.

It tells those in power you won’t leave anyone behind.

It says you don’t believe anyone is expendable.

It can also protect against chemical munitions & other threats!

NGC 3576/3603 - The Statue of Liberty Nebula - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - https://flic.kr/p/kdpo6Y

This rich and complex scene shows the glowing clouds of NGC 3576 and NGC3603 in the Southern constellation of Carina.
The large pink nebula on the right is NGC 3576, an impressive looking but relatively close and small nebula in the Sagittarius Arm of our Milky Way galaxy, some 9,000 light years away. On the left is the much more distant and larger NGC 3603, located a further 14,000 light years behind NGC 3576.

NGC 3576 is also known as the Statue of Liberty Nebula because of the striking shape visible in the core. The delicate loops are approximately 100 light years wide and are caused by material being blown outwards by the intense radiation pressure from young stars in the centre of the nebula. Most of these stars are hidden from our view in the bright area at the base of the loops.

The more distant NGC 3603 on the left is noticeably reddened due to obscuring interstellar dust and appears almost deep red in comparison with the un-obscured pink NGC 3576 on the right. NGC3603 is the largest nebula in our galaxy and is classified as a giant HII region. It would appear as a noticeable large reddish glow to observers in other galaxies.
A very bright massive central star cluster can be seen lighting up this nebula, and although these stars are in reality all young and blue they appear yellow to us because of the intervening dust. This effect can be seen in a number of other nebulae, such as the star cluster Pismis 24 in the Lobster Nebula (NGC 6357).
The cluster contains ...

This is your regular reminder that Covid is airborne.

It’s not over. It’s still killing and disabling people.

It’s a novel virus and we still don’t know the full long term effects, but what we do know is not encouraging.

Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when sick.

Protect one another.

I think the waves of low self-esteem I've had lately project itself on my art. I've been having a lot of insecurities about how I look, how I behave, whether people really like to have me around, or just are trying to be nice. And now it's making me hypercritical about what and how I draw, blehh 😮‍💨
