This week’s trivia and rec. This is such a sweet story. It’s written in a very gentle, wistful manner, and the illustrations are just gorgeous.

At some point I think I might change my handle to one of my domains, to secure it.

Thing is... do I go with CharleneChua(.)com or Charlenedraws(.)com? 🤔

My friend's chicken crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

If you'd like to help her out with the vet costs, you can here.

If you donate more than $10, lemme know - I'll doodle you a chicken (you can email a screencap of the donation charlene[at]charlenechua[dot]com)

This is about half the medical bills because I was at 2 other hospitals in a 24 hr time span to try to get her stable enough to see a specialist.

I have a kofi if you'd like to help. Please make sure your needs are met first. Much love to the kind words.
