Hello! Two things;
1. I'm still recovering and active in the community. I haven't had much art to post. Just doodling in my book and really rethinking our relationship with our work. I want to wait till I have a bigger dump of sketches before I post. I have a lot of ideas for pieces I want to do as I improve. I spend a lot of time in VRChat. I'm disabled and unable to work, I'm waiting on government assistance and my friends are housing and feeding me and taking great care of me. I have good insurance. Medication changes earlier this year were life changing and we're finally making progress in therapy
I miss my career and my art. And I miss Maney, our host part. I lost a lot of skills when she went dormant last year and have had to relearn how to do things like cook and socialize. There is hope she might make a recovery sooner than expected. I miss her a lot, I don't really feel like myself for a long time now. We have other capable art parts but I still struggle to draw for longer than 30 minutes for reasons that are hard to explain but Incredibly painful. I worry some will think I'm weak for not being able to pick up a pen but I can't really validate my experience without gruesome and embarrassing details I don't really wish to currently publicly share beyond what I crisis-posted about in the past couple years.
2. My long time friend, who does gorgeous hoofer art, is losing her housing situation. I've been trying to convince her to move closer to me for ages so she can have some local community. She's been isolated as a lone trans woman with no queer or furry friends in a red state for a long time now. Now that she's visited my place she's filled with conviction to come here where she will be safer. Please consider helping her out ~ https://www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-move-to-madison-wisconsin
