Yeah, looks like whatever bit of us is responsible for artwork has just ceased to function for the time being. We're just gonna throw a coat of paint over a background fade, update the text, and call it a day, because we simply cannot.

Working on the art for the thread refresh now.
Still putting ourself back together after we broke down yesterday, but doing a bit better.

Looks like the flea market is still on today, so we're gonna go, being out of the house for a bit will be good for us.

Ooo what model?
We've had a Samsung Tab A for like four or five years now.
It's honestly the best device we've ever bought, it is so useful.

Thanks. We'll try to rest.
Maybe find something cozy to do to take our mind off things.

Gotta take another mental health day.
Wife has ordered us to rest.

Without venting too much. We keep finding out people we've let ourself love have done horrible things/harbor rancid opinions, and it's just, too much to deal with. We're being consumed by anxiety and depression.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.
