Updates and more

I am adding more sketch cards to the Ko-Fi set with a min of $25 but set to pay what you want after that min. I am donating the proceeds to my local foodbank, and I am matching those proceeds with my own money. So far I have $80 to donate soon. I have 2 sketch cards of Angel up for grabs https://ko-fi.com/s/79695ec0df

I will be sending out current orders on Saturday. I have to leave at 4 am to my consultation with the bewbie butcher lol. I'm excited and nervous about maybe finally getting my top surgery and thankful to all who have purchased from my shop over the years or supported me here, because 90% of those funds have been getting saved for my surgery. Other 10% have been for emergencies and groceries. I'm really thankful I'm in a place that I can pay for my surgery now, since I haven't had insurance in a long time and any grants I applied for, I was not selected. It has been a long struggle. I'm thinking after my surgery, seeing what I have left in my savings, I would love to pay it forward and maybe buy and donate some binders or packers for other trans men who can't afford them, maybe even some items for the trans women out there. Even an article of clothing can make a huge difference in how you feel.

Also with the holidays on the way, anyone interested in some recipes? I have some mostly for cookies. I can even ask if my lovely friend Bama 2 Dads can share 1 from his cook book. Speaking of Bama, go show him and his family some love. His husband has been in and out of the hospital for a while now and he could use the pick me up. Go share and boost his videos on TikTok and Instagram if you can. Leave lost of rainbows and hearts in the comments. https://www.instagram.com/bama2dads/

Another friend who can use some love is my friend at Octopussdesign. He had to say goodbuy to his beautiful fur baby. He had her for a very long time and I know that pain so much and feel for him. If you can, go show him some love. He also has some amazing LGBTQ merch in his shop, his own designs. Maybe grab something for someone for the holidays or treat yourself. https://www.tiktok.com/@octopussdesign

If you have a small business or creator you wish to support, I'll create a thread on the discord where you can share links and add what they sell/make. Lets support small businesses and artists, and pass up those big box stores this holiday season. They have grown fat enough off our hard earned money and the release of tone deaf ads really shows that we don't need to buy from them this year, if we are even able to buy anything at all. Times are hard and we gotta help each other out. Besides that I hope you are all well and happy holidays to come.
