I got my official autism diagnosis earlier this week! I have many thoughts but mainly how I wasn't imagining it when simple things seemed way too hard and that instead of being lazy and weak, I was actually quite driven and resilient 💪

Comic title: "At last". Panel 1: Nervous person holding a scroll is surrounded by people who are all making comments like "You need more practise!", "Just talk to the people!", "If you really wanted, you'd try harder", "You're too shy!", "You're too lazy", "You're complaining way too much!", "You're too privileged so you don't care!", "Other people do it all the time!", "I guess you just enjoy being like that", "You really gotta change your attitude!" Panel 2: Person calmly opens the scroll and it says "Autism Diagnosis". They are clearly releaved. Big text around then person says "Just let me be". The other people are quiet now.

Already submitted a long comment on this feedback form, because this is impacting the small businesses way disproportionately and it makes me SO angry. Please read the link and leave a comment there!🙏 I want to be able to keep shipping to my fellow Europeans and buy from them too!

A reminder for small businesses or independent artists who sell to the EU, please leave feedback on their new packaging legislation which is nigh impossible to adhere to for those who don't make huge profit margins & don't have access to representatives in the EU. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

Working on the paws. Every time I tell myself to simplify them and every time they get more complex instead 😅 Takes an hour a paw to sculpt and trim, but it’s worth it, no? #plushwip #handmadeplush

After years of wanting to, I’m finally making a floppy yellow throated marten plush! And… I really love how it’s coming along so much. Gonna be so hard to let this one go, if I even can 😭 #marten #yellowthroatedmarten #plushwip #mustelid #handmadeplush #martesflavigula

Had such a blast at #hdcc today! The pokopia stamp rally was so much fun! I think I spent almost half an hour meticulously putting all my new stickers into my sticker book 🥹 and I still gotta find a place to put some of these keychains... Artists tagged below~
