I lost my Instagram Part 2: Electric Boogaloo! 😭

Hey everyone, my first post of 2026 and this is NOT the post I wanted to make.

So I seem to have been banned on Instagram...again.
For those who don't know, I got my Instagram account banned back in June of last year and somehow got it back. Most likely due to Meta's AI moderation flagging anything it deems as "nudity" (even though I never post stuff like that on IG)
Anyways, I plan on fighting this in court this time but that also means I've been a bit busy documenting and preparing for litigation to update...and trust me I have a ton of drawings planned.

Most important though, just like last time: Anyone who has signed up for the "shoutout" Tier aka the "Silly Tier", feel free to request a refund and I will refund the whole month back since I am not able to shout you out on Instagram for obvious reasons. If somehow I'm lucky enough to get my Instagram back at a later date and the shoutout tier is full during that time just DM me and I can open the tier up for anyone who lost their spot due to this.
For those who don't mind staying on the shoutout tier, I will make a new shoutout image which will go out alongside any of my posts on Twitter since I'll be posting there more often until this mess gets sorted out. 🙄

Nothing will change here on Patreon, I will still continue to post a few times every month and have a buncha nice things planned for you all including an upcoming Valentines Day special for my OC next month!

I really appreciate those of you who have reached out and offered their support. This never gets easier to deal with and almost makes me want to give up drawing....ALMOST.
These things always leave us feeling powerless but if you want to help one thing you CAN do is follow me on Twitter: @ xx_ham_donut_xx since I'll be posting there more often now. Also could be a good place to continue our silly comments.

Lastly, I want to thank every single one of you for your support, from those who have been with me since day one (2023 when I first opened this Patreon) to many of the new joiners during the holidays, and anyone else who is reading this....thank you. Your support has changed my life whether you realize it or not...when I first started this Patreon I didn't expect to get a single follow, but here we are....
Thank you.

This marks year 3 of the Ham Donut Patreon..... let's goo!
