Things Go From Bad To Worse Nowadays

Things go from bad to worse nowadays

I may lose internet soon.

It's not my decision to make since I'm not paying for connection at all and I support it even if it sounds horribly lonesome for me.

Long story short our electric bill is high this time around and unfortunately coincides with another surgery that my dad is going to undertake to fix his eyesight. (2 out of 3 surgeries if I'm correct) My dad is still the only one working. My mom may as well be disabled. I went to graduate so I could look for a medical coding job only to find out that I was misinformed by three different advisors at the college. I still have at LEAST one more class in the fall to take. (Furious does not begin to describe how I feel.)

I don't have a monetary goal in mind because it doesn't feel right to ask for money right after the laptop fundraiser but.... if you want me to draw something for money I could? It probably won't be big. Just icons, doodles, or maybe Final Fantasy Tactics style sprites. (I used to do those a LOT back in my deviantart days.) DM me for art examples.

Or I could write you a thing. I'm a way better writer than I am an artist. I dunno. I feel awful even asking-- but if I have to choose between my pride and having my needs/wants met... I choose the latter.

Ttrpg characters. Furries are hard to draw ;_;

The No Symbol: The History Of The Red Circle-Slash

One of the best-known icons of modern society is a classic example of a symbol—it’s easy to spot, but hard to explain. Who came up with it?

This was an interesting read!

Quick thing of my dragon alter ego that I haven’t drawn in at least a decade. 

Description: Spinning out of a vaguely spacey, rainbow nebula background, is a grinning dragon head. They have a long pointed snout with a tremendous overbite. A few teeth show against blue gums and tongue. The visible left eye is a bit manic as it looks both up and down at the viewer. The dragon has a bright yellow crest flaring out like an umbrella from a green neck and long ears. The crest wraps around to the top of their skull. They’re speckled with blue spots on face, yellow spots where body and frill meet, and green spots at the bottom of the frill. 

I’m way behind on Tumblr. Barely keeping up on tiktok with Butch positivity.

Dropping the Needle: Shaping culture by manipulating the Billboard charts | Westside Seattle

What's happened to music in the past 20 years has deeply saddened me with the way just two massive coorporations own and fake most of the radio we now hear. Looks like it's even worse than previously thought, but this article is a little hopeful. Just because physical sales aren't being reported doesn't mean they aren't happening and I like seeing that.
