I wrote and ran a script to delete all of my dA favorites. Some of the art that was there was irresponsible or potentially harmful to begin with. Trying to explain the nuance of how and why things were there wasn't practical, I've already seen two bridges burned over the content, and 4.6k favorites was far too much for me to try to manually clean up. I'll be a lot more picky about what I post and who I commission in the future, since I've had unexpected surprise art go in uncomfortable directions lately too. Not sure what I'll do after this year's ArtFight is over. Probably just knock it off with the whole art thing for good and do something else with my time.

My mother was found dead Monday morning. Cause of death seems to be heart attack. This was about two weeks after she tested positive for COVID-19. This was not entirely unexpected, her health had been declining, she hadn't been herself in a couple years, and COVID was a known risk. It's still an active threat for me personally. Still. If I seem a bit erratic and different lately, this is probably related.

If you can reasonably afford to donate without hurting yourself, consider helping out wrongly arrested protesters of police brutality and abuse by contributing to any of the bail funds. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd If you are participating in protests, ensure that you know your rights in your country. For those in the US: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights/ Please remember that some of these protesters are your fellow artists, furries, looners, looner furs, art-commissioners, and even just friends. We may need your help now and in the coming months more than ever.
