Moving Fund and Pride Poll
5 months ago
First I'd like to thank people for the welcome back wishes! I really appreciate it. ;_;.
Secondly, I'm moving, again. This time hopefully into a more stable situation with my fiance. I've been essentially living out of a suitcase the past three years in one temporary living situation after another. It's all been with friends, so I was safe, but it always was meant to be temporary.
So the goal is October where my fiance and I can get an apartment together. We'll start sending out applications in July/August and hopefully nail down a place by then. I started a moving fund on Ko-Fi to help me buy essential household goods and pay for moving expenses/application fees. Examples of what I would get are things like dishes, toilet brushes, soap, toilet paper, silverware, pots and pans. Stuff you usually don't own yourself unless your own your own. Any signal boosting, prayers, and donations will be greatly appreciated.
It's also PRIDE MONTH and I am VERY GAY so I want to do some simple arts to celebrate. The goal is to make some art that I can put up on Redbubble but also make into a downloadable art/PDF pack for personal use. I'm having a hard time choosing a subject so you can go vote in my poll to help narrow it down.
In other news I'm going to complete at least one owed Patreon art a month. When that is all done, I may open very limited, one at a time, commissions. It honestly depends on what life looks like for me once I'm in the apartments. So don't hold your breath, but it's something I do miss doing.
Thank you all for looking. Stay safe, it's getting crazy out there.

Also no bird facts? D: (I have recently started responding to spam texts with BIRD FACTS! Bird Facts are guaranteed to be true, but are probably things you were happier not knowing.)
1. Chickens can dream.
2. Hummingbirds are currently only found in the Americas.
3. Budgerigars/budgies are susceptible to contagious yawning.
4. Woodcocks are one of the best birds cause they go 'peent'.
BIRD FACT: Only male cardinals are red. Females are brown. As such, all love ornaments depicting two red cardinals are depicting gay cardinals.
BIRD FACT: Woodpecker's tongues start in what would best be considered their nostrils, wrap around the back of their skull, and then come out of their mouths. One benefit of this is that the tongue helps reduce sudden impacts to the bird's brain during rapid pecking.
BIRD FACT: Petrel chicks store rotting fish oil in their gizzards to eject onto potential predators! In addition to being extreme pungent, this substance is also surprisingly caustic!
BIRD FACT: While the cause is unknown, penguins sometimes experience a suicidal state where they wander off alone from the colony towards the mountains of Antarctica. If retrieved by humans and returned to the colony, they will simply attempt to go to the mountains again!
BIRD FACT: Eleonora's falcon has been observed capturing live birds, stripping them of their flight feathers, and stuffing them into rock crevices, before returning later to collect their stored meal.
BIRD FACT: The white part of a bird's excrement is actually concentrated uric acid, which is refined from urea like in mammals, in order to conserve water to be lighter for flight! Only the small black part constitutes feces.
BIRD FACT: Bird “knees” do not actually bend backwards, but are really their ankles!
BIRD FACT: Bird lungs use countercurrent flow of oxygen and blood to achieve significantly higher rates of oxygen extraction from air!
BIRD FACT: Because of their pneumatized skeletons, birds can breath through exposed fractures of the wing bone, essentially using their skeleton as a snorkel!
BIRD FACT: Female ducks have internal mazes with dead ends for reproduction!
BIRD FACT: Lamergeirs are the only bird whose diet consists mainly of bone. They also color their head feathers read with the blood of their prey.
BIRD FACT: Great Blue Herons have been recorded killing humans attempting to rehabilitate them after injury!
BIRD FACT: Common ravens are strong enough to use their beaks to bash in the skulls of baby seals, which they usually do in pairs to distract the seal.
BIRD FACT: Petrel chicks store rotting fish oil in their crops to eject onto potential predators. This substance is surprisingly caustic as well as extremely pungent.
BIRD FACT: New World vultures and many storks exhibit urohidrosis, in which they use their comparatively runny urine and feces to cool their legs through evaporation.
BIRD FACT: Flamingo feathers aren't actually pink. The coloration comes from the shellfish that they consume.
BIRD FACT: Male penguins will sometimes get horny and rape chicks to death.
BIRD FACT: Mallard ducks have been recorded engaging in homosexual necrophilia!
BIRD FACT: Petrels are known to kill penguins by shoving their beaks directly up a penguin's anus!
