I have been looking for a hobby to keep me from doomscrolling. This was half done and in an op shop so I modified and finished it. #embroidery #crossstitch

I hate Patreon as much as I love artists. Although I deleted my account because I didn't trust their service, unfortunately, the platform remains difficult to avoid for anyone who wants to make a living from their art through their fans. So I decided to return to support at least two of my favorite gay artists, whom I highly recommend you support as well:

I set my avatar on the corporate slack to asya shubina and somebody from accounting with the same avatar sent me a DM a few days later telling me to "get your own mentally ill russian girl this one is mine." I simply responded with "Я тебя люблю." I thought that was the end of it but an hour later this person changed their avatar to asuka langley and started cussing me out. this is when a normal person would go to HR, but I'm a genetic freak and I handle my own problems on my own time, so I just copy/pasted "Я тебя люблю" about thirty thousand times in response to each of her messages. eventually it develoved into an endless tit-for-tat back-and-forth of her just saying "pathetic" and me replying with "Я тебя люблю." I think we might be in love? do you think love can bloom on the battlefield?
