One of the furry community's originals, Roz Gibson, is in really big trouble. She is in kidney failure, and needs a donor, so please reskeet. www.furaffinity.net/journal/1138...

I’ve thought long and hard about making this post, but really, at this point, I don’t have much to lose. Desperate times, and all that.

TLDR version: I need a kidney transplant, and I’m looking for a donor. Read below for all the gory details.

Since late 2019, right before Covid hit, I’ve been battling a serious illness. I’ve been kind of cagey about what exactly is wrong, for a number of reasons, but here’s the truth—I’m in full kidney failure.

There is no history of this in my family, so when the symptoms began appearing I didn’t recognize them until it was too late. By the time I went to a doctor my kidney function had dropped into the single digits. Most kidney failure is caused by diabetes or high blood pressure—I got some weird kidney disease I can’t even pronounce and never heard of: Oxalate Nephropathy.

By adopting some dietary changes and careful monitoring, I was able to limp along with reduced kidney function for several years. But you don’t appreciate how much your kidneys do to keep you healthy until they stop working. There’s constant fatigue and nausea, and a general feeling of unwellness that never goes away.

But eventually I lost even what minimal function I had left, which left the end of the line for kidney disease: dialysis. As of this point I’ve been on dialysis for about 3 years. Let me tell you—dialysis is its own special kind of hell that you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.

But even that is just a stop-gap measure, and my condition is continuing to get worse. Despite this, I’m trying my best to live as normal a life as possible. I’m extremely lucky I have a job that’s willing to allow me 9 hours a week for dialysis, so I’m still working. On weekends I work on my art and comics, and one or two days a month I do my volunteer work at the bird-banding site. I can even travel to see my family—if I arrange for dialysis at a local clinic ahead of time.

All of that is done while trying to deal with the symptoms of kidney failure. I’ve known 4 people who were on dialysis—none of them worked or really did much of anything, and at this point they’re all dead, which doesn’t really give me a lot of hope for my future.

Which brings us to the point of all this—I desperately need a kidney transplant. That is the only thing that will give me a chance at a relatively normal life. I’ve been approved and on the transplant list for a few years, but the waiting period in California is very long. By the time I get to the top of it, I may be too sick to get one. Right now I’m still in relatively good condition, comparatively. A transplant from a living donor lasts much longer and is better in every way than one you get from a deceased donor.

Unfortunately, everyone in my immediate family is too old or has other health problems that preclude donation. So this post is a desperate attempt to find anyone willing to donate. I realize donating a kidney is a lot different than giving ten bucks to a GoFundMe, but as I said at the beginning, at this point I don’t have much to lose by asking.

Here is the living donor site: https://www.uclahealth.org/medical-.....t/living-donor

You can inquire and even arrange to donate completely anonymously if that’s what you want. Hopefully there’s a Jack Salem fan out there who wants to see the stories (and the artist) continue for years to come.

That is all.

Kacey Miyagami @kaceyfish.bsky.social · last mo.

Getting ready to head to Pittsburgh for Anthrocon! I'll have a table in the den (T03) and art in both sections of the art show! Currently practicing the fine art of packing suitcases as close to 50lbs as possible.

"Feline Grace" Another original that will be at the Anthrocon Art Show this year. Acryla-gouache on watercolor paper.

Acryla-gouache painting of an anthro ocelot lady stretching back and raising her hips and tail while licking the back of one hand and making eye contact with the viewer. The background is a suggestion of sheets and pillows, with bright red lighting, that she appears to blend into atmospherically to create a sense of perspective.

A piece I did for Shiva, of her and @miyagami.bsky.social talking about shows and movies they love. Shiva has also brought Skittles to share :3

A marker illustration of two centauroid felines, a tiger chakat and an iromote yamaneko felitaur, wearing star trek uniform tops, chit-chatting about some of their interests (Godzilla and She-ra), ahd sharing a bag of skittles.

Life's a Beach! The original will be at the Anthrocon Art Show.

Anthropomorphic fox vixen in a teal one-piece swimsuit with a cropped tanktop that reads "Life's a Beach", and reflective sunglasses. She poses making a peace sign at the viewer, while standing on a tropical beach inspired by those in Southeast Asia, Thailand specifically.

URGENT: if you’re in the Snoho/King county area and have room for a dog, this sweet baby was abandoned by some neighbors. I have personally handled her and she is super sweet as soon as she’s out of confinement/with people. Her listing photo is awful. Tomorrow is probably her last day.

Kacey's fursona sitting in an empty box where parts of a kneeling chair were, using the box as a seat instead. She receives a phone call and answers partially honestly.

First speech globe says "So how do you like that kneeling chair I got for you?"

Second speech bubble says "... It's cozy."

I’m here at FC2026! Come by and say hi!

Sanna the Fennec @fenbutt.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Realized while prepping for #FurCon2026 that I never posted this beautiful at-con line art commission I got from @kaceyfish.bsky.social at BLFC 2025. She's an amazing artist who's work I'd admired for a long time, but I'm pretty sparse about getting art/commissions, which I'm trying to change >.<

Kacey Miyagami @kaceyfish.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Been working on this fluffy boy, will finish him after FC
