Wow! I can't believe I've hit this goal, that's insane! Thank you all, it truly means a lot to me, especially while I'm working so hard with my classes......... <3

I know I've been very quiet, it's because I've been so busy being creative and learning!! I've begun to carve and sculpt, along with my drawing/design studies. One of my professors says I'm "too obsessed" with rats. Smh. To me that just shows speciesism, I doubt he would have said that about dogs or even horses. As you may have noticed, rats are largely my muse. They make me so happy. 🐀

Got denied SSI as "non favorable." Again.
The goverment sees me akin to a fucking retarded automated robot. Working on getting hold of my team........ *deep breath*

Yup!!!!!!! Please consider helping out an exhausted college student. Thanks <333

Living vegan is a powerful choice for your mental health as this Suicide Prevention month comes to a close. This isn't just about animals or the planet—it's about the essential connection between your plate and your peace of mind.

• ​Fuel Your Stability: A whole-food, plant-based diet floods your system with the nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber necessary for healthy neurotransmitter production and a calm, stable mood. Studies link this way of eating to lower rates of depression and anxiety.
• ​Heal the Gut-Brain Axis: By feeding your body clean, plant-based foods, you cultivate a diverse, healthy gut microbiome. A flourishing gut sends messages of calm and clarity to your brain, strengthening your psychological resilience.
• ​Reclaim Your Purpose: Aligning your daily actions (what you eat) with your core values (compassion) is a profoundly empowering act. This ethical consistency can build self-worth and purpose, which are critical protective factors against feelings of despair.

Every choice we make ripples outward.... first;

Try the Plate of Hope: Commit to expressly exploring a whole-food, plant-based diet. It is a tangible, FREE action you can take right now to nourish your mind.
Make the Connection: Understand that choosing food that supports your vitality is choosing life. You are worth fighting for.

If you need help now, please go here - you're never alone.

so I have some cool news regarding the recent free scholarship opportunity (for poor students lol) released by OSU - I will be taking this opportunity to transfer after my time at CSCC and my Studio Art degree is complete; ultimately working towards Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Arts (Painting and Drawing). So that's some good news for long term goals, oof.

And to think, I'm doing this all on my own. Fuckin mind bogglin to me... love yall *winghugs*

What the title says, the reduction of work hours combined with a lack of financial aid (despite having to pay for quite a bit of supplies out of pocket...) yeah, I'm cutting it way too close for comfort at the moment. And this is with me utilizing the food pantry, etc.
Anything is appreciated, including shares

Rawr, hi all. Just a quick update I wanted to share. I've also been dealing with some personal demons, yet there is really nothing I can do to relieve the situation at the moment, so let me focus on telling you... >.=.>

First, I've been working long weekends at work since my boss doesn't feel comfortable having me work on busy days. I can't cognitively keep up, it hurts.

Second, despite this I'm starting school up next week at CSCC. Unfortunately I did not receive much financial aid, so any support through my creative business will help my security exponentially. The three classes are Figure Drawing, 2D & 3D Design, and Sociology of Deviancy.

...so I'm going to be out of the house minimum 5 days a week this Autumn, between classes and work. *deep breaths* It will be a lot but I know I can do it... just 40% more progress to go until my Studio Art degree is complete, wish me luck~

just a quick reminder, go, have fun looking ~.=.^

Tomorrow morning I have my disability hearing over the phone with my lawyer, let's hope it goes well - I've needed this for years, but now would be an especially good time to receive it. I've been frustrated with myself becoming a broken record, having difficulties with the bar end of my job as inevitable (I'm a barista at starbucks...) To make enough for bills I must overwork myself, I cannot gradually pace myself any longer. This will effect a lot, I'm trying to figure it all out.....

Any $ would really help at this time, I could really use help from side funds at the moment. Sharing my work around also helps immensely. Thank you so much~ ^.=.^

This made me cry. I've been honestly devastated the past week or so since it happened. She had Borderline Personality, Autism, etc. just like me. This is a tragedy. Memorial art is in progress among all my commissions and other projects... 💔

I'm now 26, rawr. Love you all.

Rawr, that's right, I'll be turning 26 on the 16th of this month - and I figured, hey, I'd throw it out there that Eclipse desperately needs a new reference sheet done. The information on the current one is way outdated, oof, but design is always the same...

This World Day for Animals in Laboratories, I’m standing up for a world where no animal suffers in a laboratory.

Fellow US residents - you can show your support by taking action to end archaic regulations today, and always checking to make sure the products you buy are vegan and officially cruelty-free - ordering a free guide will help!
➡ Sign to pass the FDA Modernization Act 3.0!

Never forgotten.

It’s easy, it’s the right thing to do, and it begins with just one day! ^.=.^
Eating vegan is one of the easiest and most effective things we can do to help our planet and help spare animals a life of suffering and a horrific death. According to the United Nations, a global shift toward vegan eating is vital to combat the worst effects of the climate catastrophe, and a University of Oxford study published in the journal Science found that cutting meat and dairy from our diets could reduce our food-related carbon footprint by two-thirds. Take the “Go Vegan for Earth Day” pledge now! 🌱

Pssst, I'll help you start...

Here's to many more... appreciate y'all ❤️🎉 ^//.=.//^

Fuck cancer. He was such a strong little man, but the tumor finally got him as of yesterday. The last two weeks were rough. Mako knows his brother is gone...... at least Blu isn't in any more pain. He got plenty of yummy treats before passing (mainly because he couldn't chew or hold his normal food anymore...) 😭

Note - Stay tuned, I'm finally getting ready to work on my que!!!!!!!! Thank you for your patience!!!!!

Rest In Peace (Blu was the white and gray fellow)

I've successfully moved into my income based apartment (which has a balcony view of Downtown Columbus, my beloved hometown, oooo)! My pet family has been reunited - my job (seems) secure, and I'm figuring things out one step at a time. This definitely isn't the end, but at least the war has concluded - now to focus on reparations, building a life I can be confident in. Thank you all for supporting me this far, let's see where it goes from here...

hi yall. I'm unfortunately still at the DV shelter, even though I was initially promised a home by the 25th - now that has been pushed even further back into January. At least I got to visit my pets today I guess, but I'll admit I cried. Doesn't help the staff keep telling me to "smile." This is not a happy holiday for me this year. I'm trying my best. Please pray that things get better after the New Year begins. Thank you. 🙏

P.S. I need to post the art I've made, and make more art goddammit... I've been so fucking stressed

For a glimpse of my mentally ill mind, go here...

The veil is thin and so is my damn patience... ~.=.^
