For a while now the area I live in, like most of the wider US and world as a whole, has been experiencing supply-chain issues. Predictions say that they are likely going to end up getting more severe before things begin to improve, with various items, goods, and the like falling prey. The most impactful way this has manifested locally is in the price of food increasing bit-by-bit, as well as some food items being unavailable outright. Additionally, due to the uncertainty, many people panic-buy the cheaper foodstuffs when they are in stock which leaves only more expensive items behind that are much harder to afford and generally tend to last a lot shorter of a time than their cheaper counter-parts.

I have been riding by thus far, however if things are to persist and indeed get worse it will likely start to cause more troubles in the future - so I would like to once again remind everyone that enjoys my content that I have both a subscribestar and a ko-fi (which can be found linked below in the journal footer of every journal and at the bottom of every story I've posted in the description) where people that like my work can give me money which is, sadly, needed to survive. If you enjoy the stories I post, the scripts I've written, the other content I've made, or the game I've been working on (of which there is a new version up on my subscribestar right now!) then I would be quite ecstatic if you would show your support should you have the fortune to have escaped the impact of these global issues.



Also if you are one of the people mass panic-buying perishable food items, please stop - I know half of that which people panic-buy like that goes to waste. You are not helping yourself, and are exacerbating the issue.
