If you live in the USA and you're pleading for donations to pay your rent, bills, or get food then dial 211! Please dial 211 before the last minute!
It's a toll free service with people who will help you find programs in your community to pay those bills, find food, and find housing! They will give you numbers to call so you can get help.
It is not 100% foolproof. Their job is to direct you to a program they believe will help your current issue, but it's still a step up from praying random strangers online will give you enough cash before a deadline! The added benefit of these community programs, which get funded by the local government most of the time, is if there are more people using them then they can get more money to help more people.
You're not taking resources from other people if you use your community services. Your taxes pay for them. Use them.
Dial 211 first to see if they can help, and if for some reason they can't, then make your donation posts!

Episode 1 of my webcomic, God Animal, is complete!
It's finally complete, you can read it here!
This first episode of God Animal is titled Our Friend Rebirth Horse, and introduces Cat and Dog, two close fox friends who are hopelessly on the run from an ethereal presence in a derelict and disturbingly quiet post-apocalyptic world. When the duo though pure chance encounter an extremely odd but otherwise friendly, and lax quadruped deity, they realise that there may be a place for them in this world.
It's a very personal story to me and has been in development for a number of years, and many of the characters being those I've drawn in variable forms since the age of 11.
I'm planning a much more defined upload schedule for pages that will take effect once I begin uploading Episode 2 (titled The Beetle Warrior's Broken Sword).
Hope you enjoy it if you do read it! ^w^

Image ID: A detailed digital illustration of a bedroom for Ralsei from Deltarune in a watercolor style. A chandelier lights the scene from above in blue, including a covered 4-poster bed + chair with plenty of books next to it (right / center), a closet filled with clothes (left / center), a bookshelf with a ladder filled with books and crafting supplies (center), a stack of unpacked boxes (left), and a desk cluttered with craft supplies and drawn-on papers (front right).
The brick walls are covered with drawings and glow in the dark stars, hearts, and moons, and paper doll garlands line the perimeter. Two tapestries on the rightmost wall frame a large stained glass window. Just middle of left, Ralsei's hat hangs on the back wall. End ID.
Image ID: A page titled "Environment Intensive Packeting: Ralsei's Bedroom. There are 6 called out items from the previous illustration (shown at the top left), which include:
1. Window design, which features the Delta Rune motif / symbol. The bottom part of the window is colorful.
2. Banners (tapestries). They depict two different scenes from Ralsei's prophecies, one shows 3 heroes emerging from the world's edge, and the second depicts a Titan at the world's end.
3. Unused Manual pages, one contains a drawing of Ralsei with the text "Thank you! I'm looking forward to meeting you!" with a heart at the bottom. The second has text that says "Dedicated to the unending pillar of darkness that gives my body form."
4. Desk clutter: pink strings of yarn, dry macaronis, and a green crayon.
5. A string of paper dolls with varying shapes: a darkner, a lightner, a save point, and a heart.
6. Wall decor, including glow in the dark stars and drawings of other characters.
End ID.

Image ID: A logo featuring a round, grinning, crow-like character with leaves for its tail holding a green pencil. Curved text at the top reads "Crowberry Comic Connection." The crow is surrounded by a purple and blue rope, tied with berries and leaves, and there are two branches of berries to either side. Beneath this, the Discord logo appears next to text reading "Community Discord Server!" End ID.
We did a bit of teasing about this before, but @doedreamiing and I are excited to announce our opening for Crowberry Comic Connection - a community Discord server!
Created as a casual meeting place for artists and their communities alike, we hope to inspire a positive and productive environment to chat and chill with fellow artists, post your work, get helpful feedback, and have fun with participating in our challenges and server-wide events. Though our primary focus is on comics, we welcome artists (both visual and literary!) of all sorts to our server! You must be 18+ to join.
As was shared last week, we're opening our server with a small prompt list event in spirit of October! Check the post here, or check it out in the server itself :) Joining is NOT required to participate.
OUR SERVER OFFERS:
Places to chat, share memes (and pets, food, or that cool rock you found on your walk), share commission info, and (for comic folks) a place to link your latest comic updates!
Critique Forum: ask for constructive criticism or advice, or give advice or constructive criticism to others!
Challenges: a forum dedicated to user-created challenges (limited palette, timed, prompts, culinary??) that others may participate in!
User-Submitted Art Resource Forum (categorized with tags!)
Colored names, selectable roles, and custom emotes
Low number of channels to hopefully not overwhelm. Channel lists can be customized and things can be hidden as you see fit!
Voice channel + no-mic channel for folks who don't have mics or don't wish to speak!
More Events! (We hope to possibly host things like critique sessions, art jams, zines, or similar in the future)
More to come!
Image ID: Banner of 8 multicolored crowberry creatures on a rope. End ID.
WHY WAS THIS CREATED?
Community among artists is something very important to both of us, as people who grew up with places such as deviantART (rip) and it is something we (and many, many others) have been struggling to find as social media continues to point its focus away from artists (as well as the over-emphasis on professional portfolio socials). As our name suggests, we wish to help foster those connections between fellow creators and their communities once again!
Though perhaps not an ideal solution as Discord certainly has its own problems, we wanted to try and create a safe, accessible space for people to come together in this way. We both sincerely miss the sense of community that once was among artists.
Information on how to join can be found under the cut.
HOW TO JOIN:
Our server is a community server that uses the Onboarding feature, meaning you will be brought to a bit of a different screen than normal Discord servers may have. You must read and accept our rules as you join.
You will also be asked questions such as your interests or occupations, your pronouns, and your preferences on receiving DMs, pings, or having tone tags used for you (and the color of your name)!
Additionally, there will be a few tasks to complete:
Introduce yourself!
Say hi in general :)
Familiarize yourself with our rules and guidelines!
Check our filter guide for info on what is allowed with a filter.
OUR RULES:
You must be 18+ to join.
We do not allow pornography or extreme gore, but certain mature subjects are allowed with a filter.
Be respectful and kind towards one another. Harassment, bigotry, and bullying are not tolerated.
We do not allow proshippers, TERFs, zoophiles, or pedophiles.
We do not allow venting, spamming, AI images or NFTs (use, creation of, advertisement, etc.)
Asking for money directly though Paypal, Venmo, Cashapp, etc. is not allowed for privacy reasons. Links to fundraisers are fine.
Flashing images (gifs, emotes, stickers, etc.) must be censored, or avoided altogether.
Leetspeak and censoring words with numbers/symbols should be avoided in the server. Use Discord's censoring instead.
Check our full rules channel, and any pinned messages for specific rule information.
JOIN LINK: https://discord.gg/HGJh2cFwSh
We hope you decide to check us out. Stay connected, friends!
