IT'S DONE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRBY!!!

If you've been following me the last month, you've seen me posting invitations to join Kirby Birthday Collab. Well, as today is 27th, I'm proud to present the result of this collab!!

This collab ended up even bigger than the last year's one. When last year we mainly had only Dream Friends (with some special guests like Morpho, Galacta and Elfilin), this year we've got characters from many more groups, including villains! We've almost left no one behind lol

The image above might be a bit scuffed (anti-AI protection, and all that), but no worries! You can click on it to see full, uncompressed image and see everyone's work that's been put into this!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated, and to everyone who wanted but either learned about it too late or didn't manage - don't worry! Looks like this thing might be annual from now on (or until i run out of steam lmao), so you'll get plenty of chances to join next year! Just keep your eyes peeled around March-April :3

For Hector's birthday, I think Bruno gave him a rat. And not just any rat: an alebrije rat! :)

I took these 2 asks and here it is:

an alebrije rat stitched and created by Mirabel...! 🤣

-

Hector: "Aww! Really amigo? You gave me a stuffed alebrije rat….?! This is such a nice thought!"

Bruno: "Yes The idea was partly mine, but Antonio and above all Mirabel helped me with this! We hope it can somehow bring you luck... Oh, they say it's good for anxiety too!"

-

Hector: "Oh, No wait! Wait wait!!! Did you also give me some food?!?!" 💜

Bruno: "...Yep... Yes, those are my sister's famous arepas…! I hope they can… Ehmmm... Bring you benefits, that's it!" 🙂

Hector: "Oh man, I love them, gracias!"

Bruno: ".......! ....................?"

Bruno: "So…. Do you feel anything different?"

Hector: "...? Happy, fed and full?" 😐

Bruno: "No, I mean... Ok, but don't you feel better? What about your arm? And your leg?"

Hector: "Hm…...? What?"

-

Nope...

Sorry Bruno... It doesn't work with skeletons! 🤷‍♀️

🤣😅

if there's anything i've learned from the current state of social media it's that this is one of the worst possible notifications you can receive upon opening an app

Loving reminder from your land history auntie:

North American golf courses have had 50-100 years of arsenic and mercury based fungicide and herbicides applied to their soils.

Do not eat anything that has been grown on a golf course or downstream from a golf course. I know it sounds cool and radical, but you are too valuable to poison yourself with heavy metals.

Protect each other, turn your local golf course into a pollinator garden, not a sex forest or community garden.

though the movie might be cancelled, yuri on ice will live forever in our hearts. thank you yoi fandom, it's been real ♡

im already at the south downs cottage guys, catch up

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

JUNIOR YEAR!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!
