Seeking accessibility tools for reading documents aloud. I just tested over 50 robot voices only to hear all models had heavy popping & sibilance (hissing s etc). Voice actors and highly trained singers - those get eliminated from their speech with practice. Could they pay actors for speech models?

It sure feels like floods of people in the SF bay area moved away to the Seattle metropolitan area in the past few years; hardly sounds like a move when the neighbors may be all the same people, hah!

Plum is so happy to have his sick brother back from the vet for the third time, that he won't let him go while they sleep. Green is finally eating again! We're all crying with happiness. I got back from a small surgery, looking forward to healing together (but I can't hold him until Plum lets me).

Spending thousands on this little guy trying to find out why he can't eat, while I can barely work for a couple hours due to the stroke. My job pays for all of our health insurance as well as his, so I can't give up. I think the bright side is that I get to be home with him while we both struggle.

Finally out of the hospital, please send good vibes. It was multiple strokes. Yesterday, my doc said only luck made it not fatal. I'm so grateful to be here, and also very sad I've lost my independence. I am open to reading any advice in private messages.

Ri'en Karrot will not be able to draw or upload for an indeterminate time due to a severe medical emergency. Comments might not receive replies. Thank you for understanding.

Struggling with health issues right now and trying to be at peace with the idea of "only this much is still enough" thoughts. So here is my rough concept for new year's fire horse, even if it doesn't look finished, I am excited that I was able to put pencil on paper and get something out at all.
