i’m trying to record a voiceover but i think my mic is broken 😭

haven’t been very active on here because my mind’s been busy with other things, and i’ve been experiencing a bit of art block as well. i am working on a painting atm, but as it’s a gift i haven’t been able to share any of the process (i don’t think they are on here but i don’t want to take the risk)

yesterday was a rough day, and it made me want to stay inside in a blanket burrito. but i thought it’d be good to spend some time outside, and we went to our fav spot. it was cold but nice, and i’m glad i went.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

love your trans friends loudly 🏳️‍⚧️
