regarding this journal - WE REACHED THE GOAL!! Thank you all SO much, necessary expenses have been covered, and just in time.

Commissions will remain open as I work through my queue, so that I can gather funds for other expenses this month and hopefully put some aside as savings for a planned move this year. If you want to keep up with commission openings, I usually announce them on my Twitter, Bluesky, and Discord - but they are often open by default. I may open some quick turnaround slots today or tomorrow, to treat my partner to a nice birthday dinner this weekend <3
