Financial stress update (patreon and Kofi plugs)
2 weeks ago
Hello everyone!
I was reminded to post this, because people can't help if they want to if they don't know.
(and here I thought the 'you can't advertise too much' brainworms were annoying, the 'you can't pan handle even when justified' makes the brainworms so much worse as I try to compose this journal.)
I am dealing with a fair deal of financial stress, it is thankfully not URGENT stress but it's "Wow if another big thing slams me I might be fucked" levels. So lets try to head that off.
Full transparency:
I am like 6k in credit card debt mainly because of dental and car repairs. for the last year I have not been able to climb out of it because taxes eat self employed artists for lunch and rising costs of living. Right now I have a kofi goal of 8k to hopefully get out of this pit with some headroom after fees. Also realistically I am expecting to spend like 800 on getting my car inspected and re-registered next month, the back breaks are already deferred repairs.
We do have a long term plan, but it's about surviving until then.
If you appreciate my work or have been considering supporting me, it would be EXTREMELY helpful if you would join my patreon and/or support my kofi.

As a partial part to help fight the burnout, I am making myself stream on twitch more and doing games I haven't properly engaged. Today I streamed 13 hours of goshdang Alan wake 2. Gotta say it's way better than doom scrolling. If that gets decent momentum over at https://www.twitch.tv/adalore I'll see about keeping it a very regular thing.
So very much thank you if you decide to support me. I am doing my best and I'll keep stuff happening. Also a reminder if you want to see art as I finish it effectively there's my bluesky account over at https://bsky.app/profile/adalore.bsky.social.
