It's been difficult to ask for help, but I'm a foreign student in🇰🇷 who's in such a crisis financially and health-wise that it's about survival--for me & my parents in India. Full story below. If anyone can help, even a little, even just by sharing, it would mean the world. ⬇️

I had almost given up on art but then I read Heavenly Tyrant by @xiranjayzhao.bsky.social and I knew I had to pick my iPad for my favorite toxic pair Wu Zetian & Qin Zheng. Took me months to finish because I am like super out of practice, but I am extremely happy the way it turned out.

I have already locked down my Twitter (I have stopped posting like an year ago) and threads feel like Twitter on crack. Bluesky is relatively stable, but not many book people here. If you are from bookish community, I would love to connect

As the end of the year approaches, I'm grateful to those who donated to help me through my difficult situation. Thank you so much. However, donations have stopped entirely & I'm still struggling to survive. I'll be grateful if you could help me reach at least 50% of my goal.
