when people reblog donation posts and say "donate what you can", I really feel like people aren't actually internalising it. not all of us can afford to donate $50, $100, more than that. but i know for a fact that there are thousands of us that can spare $2 or $5, and that all adds up.

it hurts so much to sit here and feel the limits of our own ability. we're not millionaires. we can't instantly fund these escape attempts. but these are bids for life, by people who never asked for the hellfire being rained upon them by sadistic colonialists, greedy for oil and land. they committed no crime other than being born in palestine. and of course it's unfair, to have to shoulder the weight of people's lives when we're all struggling to get by as it is. but our governments relentlessly fail us, they fail to scrape at the bottom of their cold dead hearts for their last dregs of humanity. it is so, so unfair, but it is up to the common man to save each other.

please. look at this spreadsheet. find a fund that resonates with you. and DONATE WHAT YOU CAN.

uh. hi! i got an ask on my main, saying my last post on this blog made it look like i died in 2022 from covid... so uhhhhhh just here to say that didn't?? happen??

1. i DID get 100% certified long covid on top of my chronic issues, which have ALSO been getting worse, so i have to be wise about how i choose to use my energy.

2. i never found a Totally Definitely Legal copy of PS i felt i could trust + my old laptop all but exploded (unrelated issue; it was just old and shitty). i don't want to risk fucking up my new one in any way so i need to be EXTRA sure it's trustworthy.

3. i haven't been watching enough anime to justify the PS search LMAO ;;; that isn't to say i haven't watched ANYTHING since my sudden hiatus, but it hasn't been much. plus, tbch, internet speeds where i live are doodoo shit, so downloading high quality anime rips has been a pain in the ass since i moved home several years ago ;;;

4. i've just been focusing on other things! again, limited energy. i've been putting a lot of effort into drawing more and into breaking out of my social isolation bubble in stream chats and on my selfship sideblog. it's been doing wonders for my mental health, so that's what i want to spend my time doing!

(you can find my main art blog here, but i've been mainly drawing on my selfship blog. if you're into selfshipping and want to follow, it shouldn't take too much effort to find me.)

tl;dr gif-making just isn't something i'm interested in right now! i've considered it, and i miss it to some extent...? but between the energy issues, the effort to find a safe copy of PS, and enjoying talking to other people more than churning out endless gifs, i just don't see the point lol. if i come back, i come back, and if i don't, thanks for sticking around. 👋🏻

#046 texts #sorry if anyone freaked out i guess...? i figured this blog was fairly dead views-wise + anyone who cares abt my health follows me elsewher #so i didn't think much of it. i do still have a bunch of old gifs to post but... god. uploading and tagging everything. ugh.#someday... someday.........#but yeah. if you want to find me elsewhere you can. 👍🏻 just don't be a dick or w/e.

i forgor to update on this blog but uh my family gave me covid and i’m suffering big time 😜😜😜😜

and bc of that my plans to find a Special Copy of PS that wont make my laptop explode are on hold so my queue will remain empty for a while. (also i cant be bothered to deal with the banned tag list for the moment so hopefully that’s all sorted out by the time i get back lmao)

see ya when i can pilot my body again~ 😘

[unsolicited covid advice under here. cw for image: puppets, facial horror?, scopophobia, covid joke, based on drugs joke, drdp]

please heed my warning and dont try to sit and play viddy games through the first day like i did, even that much activity will knock you on your back once it Hits

wait until you’ve been knocked down a peg and base your Distraction Activity Level on that ;;;;;;;;

#046 texts #covid 19 #my family has been the absolute worst these past few days and despite quarantining MYSELF from THEM i still got it. pissed. amgry.#i keep looking at my half finished VNs and going......no.....i dont dare....#turns out 428 shibuya scramble is not good distraction during a pandemmy anyway lmao #so now im just shotgunning vtuber clips and streams ✌🏻
