I've realised that some non-English-English speakers may be confused by the British reaction to Mark Zuckerberg sending other people in his place after his invitation to speak to the UK Parliament
While "you are invited to Parliament to speak on this subject" may be interpreted as "we'd like you come and talk if it's not too much bother" to some foreign ears, the phrase actually means "COME HERE RIGHT THIS SECOND YOU LITTLE SHIT AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF"
If you want to help me survive, it'd be very nice to help me out in whatever little way you could
thank you
Made a colour edit to the tiled pattern this morning, but I still like both versions.
Later on, I might order some of this stuff from Spoonflower so I can sell textiles. I have a few people asking about fabrics. I'm not really sure what I'm doing though!

anyone interested in a half-page's worth of sketches for $3 USD? I'm hoping to use toe money to move out of my stressful situation and in with my boyfriend before the end of the year (optimistically aiming for the end of summer). throw in an extra $3 for more page space or an underpainted color finish on your half-page! I'll draw anything other than primates, hate speech, or nsfw stuff.

You know why she's dragging you? You should stop there, since many folks suffer through puddles collected in the middle of this tar. Meanwhile, I've been here wishing that you were a better person. Her problems are going pale from staying inside so much, making me so ashamed of everything. She could morph into a home-bound alien for all I care. Everything I do is, again, what is quoted as saying, and that's just the way it is at home some days.
