still raising money for car repairs + discord update
3 months ago
we're still looking for help to pay off repairing our 19yo car's frame fwiw
it's starting to get into summer heat & until this repair is paid off we can't even consider the repairs to the air conditioning. my spouse is a rural mail carrier and im a trans stage3 cancer survivor working as an artist - no family contact. this is our best chance.

thank you everyone for all your help so far. its been a really rough year and its only halfway through.
now on to DISCORD...
i'll be removing my discord username from FA because it's come to my attention that people do not treat it for what it is - a chat app, for chatting with friends. instead people have been ignoring explicit instructions on how to send me commission info (email... or my form, or a document file i can bookmark...) and interspersing their chatting with work things at /all hours/ and /all days of the week/ leaving me feeling very stressed out and without any single day to myself.
i ask for people to send info on discord during livestreams because it's quick - and i am speed painting. it is not information i need to come back to days or weeks later. but detailed commission information quickly becomes lost, muddled, changes misplaced, edits forgotten as it is buried under a steady stream of casual chatter. it's not a work program for me. it doesn't work AS a work program for me. i have -always- asked for information to be sent in email or via my forms, so this is not a change.
this sunday i had no fewer than six people try to chat about work on discord - /six/. as late as 7.30pm. the day after i spent 4-5 hrs speedpainting nonstop without water, food or bathroom breaks...you'd think i'd maybe want a day off??? but not if i'm online on discord talking to friends, apparently :T
so... not thrilled. because i wanted to be more open to talking to people and making friends. but i'm going to go crazy if i can't
'turn off' work inquiries at all.
this is not an invitation to suggest ways to make discord my work platform. i DO NOT WANT IT TO BE. just. please. respect the artist's rules of engagement and workflow. just because the time is free and right for -you- does not mean i'm going to pop into existance ready to roll like a shop npc in a game. and for every person who thinks "it'll just be me, just this one time, surely its ok to make an exception..." there's literally five people doing the exact same thing.
...yeah. sorry, but yeah. folks cant respect boundries, so discord handle goes away :T blegh
