Some things don't change.

More work in progress. This is not actually an entirely new piece; it's an adaptation of a client's purchase into something different that works better for them than the original. But I always love being able to catch the torch flame.

New month, new season, by one benchmark, anyway. May was mostly awful, and I hope June winds up being much, much better. As always, though, I'm still behind; otherwise this would've been up this morning.

Some things don't change, unfortunately.

Before anything else, we've got a new local GFM that needs urgent attention. This is a family from the Pueblo; they were driving on the Interstate in Albuquerque and were hit head-on by a drunk driver. The goal is very modest, only $7K, and they've raised just over 10% already today. Match us? Any part of it? Be nice to get them up to a couple grand before the night's over. Go here to donate, and please share it, whether you're able to give or not.

It's going to be a busy week ahead, mostly playing catch-up on everything we couldn't get done in May. Also awaiting the results of my labs, and fully aware that they may tell us absolutely nothing, and that none of that means that something isn't wrong; it just means that it doesn't show up in that particular space. I really, really don't want to have to go for a bunch of scans and biopsies again, in the first place because we can't afford any of it and in the second because that kind of repeated travel, on top of the tests, does me a lot of physical damage, and I'm already having more than enough of a problem with all of that.

And I don't have time for it! All the work still has to get done, and wasting multiple days traveling elsewhere to be stuck in imaging tubes and have needles extracting samples doesn't help me do any of that. And I'm still trying to get the glass-opal earrings up, and that new necklace [and that necklace is ::cue flames and fireworks::]. And, of course, we still need shares, and we most definitely still need weekly sales, until I can get everything covered that has to get covered [and that will be a good long while]. I don't get any breaks from that, either, and we didn't make any sales last week, which means I need to make that up with at least two this week. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (Priorities are Amazon gift cards, which we can ALWAY use, and the liquid soaps that we c an't get anywhere around here); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year last year, and this one beginning at least as badly, we urgently need to move 2025 onto a better footing, because taxes to this Nazi administration have already tapped us out and we still owe more anyway, so please share all of the links.
