what the heck. i tried to get on top of my buffer this month and i just realized im barely ahead at all. i think i might have to extend my 1x a week schedule until after october. i am not happy about this. but there's literally so much happening and that needs to be done that i feel like im drowning. aaahh!!! AAAHHH!!!!

until today i truly thought i was more on top of this than i was. october is packed to the brim with weddings to attend, but after that....after that i might truly be free. and then i can go back to making comics and art full time. i hope. the market frankly seems very bleak right now in general for nearly everyone working right now. when the hardworking people who graciously fund our works can barely afford food, its only reasonable that we feel the squeeze too.

everything sucks right now, frankly.

if you can spare a little change at the moment, consider tossing a buck at my patreon to help with the stupid expenses that are going to suddenly pop into my life after i get married (american health insurance is one of the foulest scams in the world. being alive should be free). but, and this is most critical, take care of yourself and your loved ones first. donate eSIMs for gaza. donate to the palestine children's relief fund.

webcomics can wait. despite myself and the way i've been feeling for months, it's hard to drag myself away.

anyway if you don't remember the lady in the bottom two panels, check the last chapter! i swear that storyline has a point!! i didn't think it would take 4+ years to get to it!!! comics.....
