At $761/900 - 11 days to raise just $139 more to make sure my March surplus bills are covered. Also really have to start setting aside money to cover costs for a new place. Any help is so greatly appreciated.

I still need a lot of help for my upcoming move. I currently have $240/900 for March bills and will need around $4800 for security deposit/first month's rent for a new place. Please help out if you can, even if only a share 💜

Never AI, 100% human created Maine rebel bird.
Digital
#rebelbird #maine #fuckAI #resist #art #illustration
Image shows a stylized chickadee shaped like the rebellion symbol from star wars. The north star shines above the word "dirigo" on a red banner. The borders are a dark green, with a landscape depicting mountains in the center circle above the bird's head. The word Dirigo is the Maine state logo, meaning "I lead". The state bird is the black-capped chickadee.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”

Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.

No questions asked.

No proof required.

Pass it on.

Watercolor "Crow and Rising / Cascading Fern" series I've been working on recently.

The originals are available, either through my site featherdust.storenvy.com or if you send me an email/message, I can create a custom invoice for you, which saves the handling fee.

Hello! I am still alive. The TLDR version is:

-Got laid off from company I worked at for 15 years in February.
-Looking for a new job was a full-time job.
-Started new job, learning entirely new field = much tired.

I've got a lot of catch-up on scanning+art sharing and its a bit daunting 😅
