L is for Lamentation

The Big Sick

Lots of things are happening right now. It's overwhelming. My SO & I have spent months trying to figure out the best thing to do as our country disintegrates around us. We have officially made the difficult decision to leave the life we have spent years building here & move thousands of miles to the other side of the country, where his family lives. At the same time, masked men in unmarked vans are abducting people around the country. At the same time, the president is sending the national guard to my city to stop people from protesting masked men in unmarked vans abducting people. At the same time...

I don't even have enough spoons to list all the reasons I am running out of spoons. I just keep thinking about all the things I will miss about my beautiful city.

The Big Update

The next month will be full of sorting & packing & schlepping things to various charity collection points. It's barely started & I'm already exhausted. I am going to keep painting & sewing every day, because that keeps me sane. I am not going to be able to keep up with posting it all the time in all the places. I do not have the spoons.

If you want to keep seeing my art every day, follow me on Ko-Fi.

It's like Patreon, but better! You can follow me for free or, if my art has made you happy or maybe you just empathize with how stressful long-haul moving is, consider making a donation to support me. Ko-Fi doesn't even make you make an account to donate! Also...

I Want to See Your Art!

The #ArtABCs challenge is still going! The week this blog goes up, we are on letter L. I love it so much when you share your art with me. Please, everyone, draw something for my art challenge – it will make me so happy (& hopefully it will make you happy, too)!

I will be keeping you all updated going forward, which is a nice way of saying that I will probably be complaining about moving a lot. What else is social media for?

What do you think? Do you have one weird trick professional movers won't tell me? Let me know on Mastodon or Ko-Fi! Have a fantastic day, draw something for my art challenge, see you next week!

Get my art on mugs & vinyl stickers in my Shop!
