If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

For people unaware and playing/streaming Where Winds Meet, it uses GenAI for NPC chat bots, and let's you import a photo of yourself and a voice clip for character creation, which I'm sure I don't need to explain why that is fucked up
And no AI disclosure on Steam 🙃

I was hoping to take a longer break from commissions but my mom took a pretty rough fall and ended up in the closest ER having to pay out of pocket! So I'm opening a few slots to help ease the finacial strain from the next few weeks🙏

I would buy Dragon Age Origins if the graphics and gameplay was updated, but that's soooo not going to happen.
So I'll pick the one that is very likely going to happen:

Finally some good news! Vet just called and Pip's thyroid levels have gone back to normal with the minimum dose of the meds!
They don't have to recheck that for 3 entire months! 🎉
(Now just need the blood pressure to sort itself out 🙏)

I was so down while I was waiting for Pip to get her tests done at the vets, but then a guy came in with his dog & she started whining at him, so he let her come over for a fuss 🥹😍
She ran over in her cone of shame, her whole body wagging, and really cheered me up!
Dogs are so special 💕

Oh, and Pip might be adding kitty dementia into the hyperthyroidism (and possible blood pressure issues).
I kind of guessed that already tbh.

Well at least there's nothing wrong with her lungs. Meowing the apartment block down. Meows echoing through the car park. Meowing in the taxi, meowing in the waiting room.
Now she's off trying to chill in a room so they can get a normal bp reading (because right now she's NOT chill).

The cats were merciful last night and let me sleep for about 10 hours (which is like 2-3 days worth for me at the moment).
Vets for Pip again today though, so who knows what mood she'll be in tonight 😅
