I would love to get through just one week without a family emergency and/or "emergency"

Someone got a hold of my credit card info and went on a shopping spree. They also decided to use my email address, and now I have their full name and address from the e-receipt as a result. Contacted my bank and the retailers so we'll see how this plays out. 💅🏿

Me to junior artists on my team: Don't be afraid to ask questions! We're all happy to help! ☺️ Me, asking questions: I have to ask for help on something I am only self-taught in but nevertheless feel I should be able to do and I am absolutely FUMING

I sent my brother a photo of me with my new glasses and he called me librarian daddy 💀

I hope those load bearing followers know how much they mean to artists. Regulars, esp regular commenters that engage your work and story do not go without notice and are to be cherished. It's esp why I try to reply to let them know! (and why I wish I could keep track of any I've missed replying to )

Fun story and potential tip for artists: find a load boarding follower or two. When my account was brand new and less than 10 people knew I existed I had one follower who would like almost every piece I made. I appreciated his support so much that my partner knew his screenname- 🧵

Dealing with aging parents is so hard

I spent all Thursday-Saturday dealing with ongoing family drama and I never want to talk to anyone ever again

I'm tired

It's crazy how much goodwill a CEO could get if they said "I'm going to take only 1/4 of my salary so we can avoid layoffs this year." Decades of goodwill from doing this just *once*. For the company, the CEO, for rich people, etc. They don't do it though, which tells you all you need to know.

Nicole has had a medical emergency and needs a shop boost, y’all know what to do

Anyway I have effectively lost 5 (now 6) full days of work because of these many clusterfucks so I would seriously appreciate folks checking out my shop: Thornwolf.com/shop And also my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/thornwolf Was real sobering giving my husband a list of clients to refund in case I died.
