If only it were so simple an answer. Similar pain symptoms for sure but my blood reports came back clear, and I can't recall any instances where I'd've picked it up, esp bc I'm vaxxed TF up.

Thank you for the unending support, the donations keep me fed each week and the words keep my soul fed too. Ty for helping me experience that visibility doesnt always equal punishment, and that my art is enjoyed and its a worthy endeavor for me to make more of it. I Love you all so much. -Serp

I'm doing my best finishing this huge external project, when it's done, I'll finish what's owed re: old coms and the like. Then I'll make a new coms sheet & run a 30% off sale till my relationship with my art is improved. And try my hand at substar/ptreon, the usuals.

It's been over a year with my arms staying at mostly the same level of injury, I think it's time I make my peace with this being another chronic problem I have, that will not go for a long time, maybe ever. I'm going to have to change how I make art, which upsets me deeply.

My body & mind are in enough pain these days that I think the 'IDGAF' is kicking in and I'm just going to do it. 'Cringe but free' and so forth. I hope it's interesting, I hope the stories are good, I hope I can make something worth reading.

I have a lot of reasons for not sharing my internal landscape. Embarrassment is probably a big one. It's also hard, a constantly moving/shifting landscape. There's a lot to explain, a lot of lore and a lot of laws. I've been sitting on doing it for years now.

Genuine question: Is peace real? Is being pain-free real? I don't know what's real anymore. Is living comfortably as an artist real? Am I cursed? I don't know what's real anymore.

I love my partner too much to do anything stupid to myself but consider me broken. Thoroughly had the shit beaten out of me by life for 10 years straight. 24 years suffering from autoimmune disease. And now there's mice shit on everything in my house.

I had to take from my savings to eat this week. All of my savings will be gone come this time next week bc of business renewal bills and medical bills and regular bills. My will to fight on is gone. I wish god would show me mercy.

I have now discovered that I have mice. Fuck my life. Both my dogs also have ear infections, and its not covered by the pet insurance I was forced into by my mother. I also have an ear infection, and sore teeth, and im overdue my Tshot as of this week. Fuck my life. Fuck my life.

Would love to see what other ideas you guys have about 'empowerment' that involves burying and silencing people trying to communicate dark topics. How endlessly intelligent of you trying to bleach the world, one spot at a time.What other bright spark ideas do you have for your social media platform.

Despicable weak-boned censorship for fictional stories about the dynamic, and at times dark, world around us. Congratulations on hurtling towards your website shuttering before it even really got off the ground. I hate having a front row seat. Adults should be allowed to be adults. Disappointed.
