waugh...day one of post-op seems to have gone pretty good. i was super out of it yesterday after i got out of the OR, dunno if i've ever felt so garbage before >w>

been feeling better today, but really tired and probably will be for the next while, so i won't be around a whole lot. gonna be real eepy cryptid hours around here 💤

#tux_chatters

good news, everyone! my fundraiser is FULLY FUNDED!! 🎉🎉🎉

thank you to everyone who shared it around, y'all are amazing!! ;w;

#tux_chatters

are there any critters around here that have been through the process of applying for grad school?

i haven't submitted my applications yet and i'm waiting to hear back from some professors about supervising me, and i'm a bit nervous about not hearing back or getting turned down! if you have any advice or experiences to share, i'd welcome them

helloooo, critter.cafe and mastodon friends! i wanted to pop in to announce that i've launched a project page for "Meet Me in the Woods" on Comradery.co! ✨

for $10/month, you can read ahead on pages and see bonus art/content! while i don't have a projected date for chapter 2's launch yet, i figured it wouldn't hurt to get this off the ground ahead of time

i've also got an update post written out over there, and you can subscribe to my page for future updates for free! ✨

more art to come in the future, but gonna take a break from posting for now! also stay tuned for another commission opening this next week 👀

#tux_chatters

last post was made using PostyBirb btw, and wow, i should've started using that a lot sooner X'3

hopefully this means i start posting more art across my online accounts once more~

#tux_chatters

alrighty, commissions are officially open again now...help a little wormy out? find commission info on my website!

just like last time, these are not first come first serve, and are only for my standard commissions! shoot me an email if you're interested ✨

i'll make a more official post about it later today, but figured i'd let y'all know i'm gonna open for a handful more commission slots, same as my last round!

it's a tough job market and i'm still waiting to hear back on some applications while getting rejections from others  

...still gotta pay the bills somehow, though!

#tux_chatters

to elaborate on the end of my previous post, i've found it hard to post much of my own stuff online the last few months....probably a combination of complete burnout and the loss of a space i really enjoyed (rip cohost  ), plus the existence of a massive backlog of art that makes it harder with each new thing i make

i know those last two things might sound trivial, but idk...adhd, i guess? it's work to share stuff online, and being burned out means i ration my energy for that kind of thing

yes, i'm still very burned out in all aspects of my life - moving apartments has definitely helped, but it's a slow recovery, inching forward at a worm's pace

at the very least, folks and critters in my life are patient with me, and that makes all the difference

i've had brainworms for velvet worms again lately mraaaaar

i've been drawing them and writing a blog post all about them and watching videos and agdjfhfjdfh i love these critters so much!

(expect to see some stuff here once i defeat my weird brainfunk over posting online)
