I cry every damn time 😭

For what it's worth, I also miss the level of engagement I used to get on the former bird site. I'm not sure if it's still just because things are new here, I need to post more, or what... But I'm in a similar boat! Sorry it's got you down my friend ❤️

You're a good list

The United States has the highest GDP in the world by *ten trillion dollars*. It's not even close. Americans should retire at 60 w/ full pension. We should have free universal healthcare. We should have free PreK-PhD education. This belt-tightening ideology is a neurotoxin limiting our potential.

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words and support!

I think you're absolutely onto something. We're certainly going through some things collectively these days!

Thank you for the time to thoughtfully respond. Brought a little bit of light back to my morning 🤗

No... I had concepts of a plan 🤣

Honestly I was more interested in supporting his work in particular than I was in purchasing a specific item or design. It was less about what I wanted and more that I appreciated his style and talent.

Thanks for asking though

Thanks. I think I'm just feeling raw bc it's been a very not great week. I'm not usually one to complain about strangers online quite like this 😅

I hadn't decided yet. I saw him share his work on a post a few days ago and asked if he had a shop where I could buy, he said no but he'd commission. So we'd been messaging about what he's done/could do and I was trying to decide what I wanted. I had literally only been a few days 😞

Anyways, it's just been a shit week and I can't fathom blocking someone who literally just wanted to appreciate and pay you for your work, but needed a beat to come up with an idea for a commission on the fly

I wish the dude well. I really do
