reminder that you don’t need to lose weight or get fit during quarantine. i know there’s a ton of pressure from social media rn to not “get fat during quarantine,” but remember that your weight does not determine your worth. this pandemic is a hugely traumatic event that we are all going through, it’s okay if you gain weight.
your girl is meant to be working! but instead she made her own quiz!
so please, find out what your underlying motif is, and chuck it in the tags for me to read <3

Crisis For Artist During Coronavirus Pandemic
So it was early April when I was finally able to get March rent paid. I know millions are suffering. And many like me don't even have safety nets like unemployment. I also understand that art seems like a superfluous purchase in the face of an international health crisis.
However if you are able I would be so incredibly grateful if you would consider a something to brighten your home during quarantine.
My Etsy is still 60% off and has a whole bunch of new items.
I have mini 4"x 6" prints that are a giant bargain available on tumblr only.
5 for $25 (1 bonus)

I’ve purchased 5 painting from her in the past, and they are amazing quality. She also has prints for an insanely low price!
Thank you!!😢
I'm still more than 1000 from paying rent and haven't had an etsy sale for a month. The freezing of the economy has frozen any chance of being able to have food money, let alone rent money. I can't get unemployment. I've applied for things but have been rejected or haven't heard. There's extreme pressure to pay by the 15th and I can't conceive of a way that it's remotely possible.
I'm beyond frightened. How do you get a new place to live if you're evicted during quarantine? I'm probably catastrophic thinking but I've lived the worst case scenario for awhile now.
It's a little after 6pm. There's clearly no possibility I'll be able to meet my April 15th deadline for rent. There's nothing I can do really except try to mitigate the severity of the consequences.
It's snowing. So cold and I feel so bleak. I had to pay my phone bill so I'm down again. I just can't put my rent together. I had applied for a loan and was rejected, based upon a computer analysis deciding I'm a seasonal business. It's the result of near flat sales.
I was struggling before. Now I just feel so hopeless. I see how it's possible to live.
At least three of my regular clients have lost their jobs and won't be getting a gift for themselves or their loved ones for quite sometime. My heart aches for these lovely people whom I've come to consider friends. I worry for them and their families. I'm sorry anyone is experiencing the terrible economic uncertainty I'm suffering.

I continue to be nowhere close to paying my rent. In fact a week later I'm further from being able to pay. My phone was nearly turned off. I don't have wifi, my phone supplies my internet as well as phone service. Judge but I can't live with out my phone functioning, especially now since I can't hop on wifi at coffee shops etc.
I do have to eat and while I feel guilty each time I purchase food I don't see an option. Each month is worse and worse. I had a few miracles that allowed me to pay March but the crisis goes on and is out of my control.
It seems I've exhausted my guardian angels. I'm facing the fact that I won't be able to pay rent. I won't be able to catch up and will likely be homeless again in the nearish future. And honestly I'd rather be dead. I never had to sleep on the streets and even then homelessness was extremely traumatic. Because my becoming homeless was tied up with other stuff I can say it alone is the source of my PTSD (yes professionally diagnosed) but many of my nightmares and panic attacks are related to trying to find a place to stay.
Probably a lot of my regular followers can tell which posts are written in the midst of panic attacks I desperately need to share but I'm so alone I only have tumblr followers. More now than ever.

So far in my state self employed people can't get unemployment. I have applied for my stimulus payment but it will be awhile. I applied for an emergency artists grant but was rejected. I'm not doing well. I don't think I can go through this again. I would rather die than have to go through eviction again. That's not hyperbole either. I'd really rather die than be homeless again. I was struggling but doing almost okay. I should have known it was too good to last. I'm not the kind of story that has a happy ending. Having a home I liked was the...."and for awhile all seemed well, little did she know it would be over so soon...."

If I don't pay both May rent buy the the 1st of the month, my landlord is threatening to tear the house down. Then I'll have no place to go again. Being on the spectrum makes any kind of change difficult but changing house nearly killed me last year to go through it all again would kill me.
Please, please, please, buy a piece of art, some mini prints, a small orginal, a commission of any size, a portrait of your pet, of your mom's pet, something else for mother's day, please, please, do if you can. I'm genuinely begging everyone that can please buy art and if you don't want art but want to help donations are beyond appreciated!!! Plus my etsy will be 70% Off.

$0/$650 Gas and electric bill covering my bill since last year. My landlord decided not to pay that after all and I'll be shut off as soon as Denver reopens on May 1st.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all buyers, helpers, donars and those focusing good thoughts towards me. If you can, please, please, please buy a painting or commission in the next few days. I can't survive moving, not now, not yet. For now I am home and my fractured brain needs this to continue to home.

Rent $414/$1800
Must May rent on on before May 1st or they will go ahead with demolishing the building. I just can't be homeless, not again it took from March 20th to October 4th to find my first place after loosing my home and my dogs, and my garden, and everything I had that had been touched by my grandfather. Just the thought of going through that any of it is way to much for me. I will never survive.

Another year, another tdov, another name-day, another blessing to live out my life the way I am. ✨ I love being a boy, who’s in love with a boy. I love who I am. I love being Chase. I love knowing that I finally have a future in front of me, and it’s a happy future. Here’s to the boys who don’t bind, whether it’s because you can’t or because you don’t want to.
