i’m doing sketch commissions for any dono amount, even just $1 helps!!! gonna try to get them done this weekend to make rent! just request what you’d like me to draw in the message!
(examples of my art on vgen.co/mirantula !)

I just can’t help thinking how absurdly dystopian it is that I worked myself so hard I ended up in the hospital for several days, unable to move

only to get an automated message of feigned concern from a machine, asking when I’ll be coming back to work

can’t we just be human to each other? 😂

it’s been enough time that I can look back and laugh, and if i hadn’t become too sick and disabled to do that job (which I loved!) I probably would have just laughed it off and moved on.

they realized and apologized for it after. and on some level I do empathize, communication can be hard and navigating difficult situations professionally is tough for anyone,
but like, what the hell man 😂

when I was hospitalized, my boss texted me requesting a doctor’s note for the days I missed because I was, you know, in the hospital

only they forgot to delete the part at the beginning that said like “Okay, here is your message:”

me: god i hope we can get some kinda benefits so we can reliably afford groceries and maybe my meds so i can get better someday
“people who can’t afford food should just get a job or die!”
me: oh
