🌕🌏🌕🌎🌕

we'll have more to say soon, we're still not 100% settled and there are loose ends to take care of, and new projects forming…we just have a lot to work through getting there

we have a lot of ideas about how to work with everything that happened, it kind of says a lot about the times we're all living through right now…we're licking our wounds and trying to pull ourselves and each other together, we've learned a lot about each other…in some ways it's optimistic, just hard

thanks to everyone's help a few months ago, we are actually settled in minneapolis now, we have a little apartment for ourselves again at last after everything we've been through, but it's like the full impact of it all has been tearing through us now that it's not an immediate nonstop emergency

just to chime in, i'm in the exact same boat as lily with all this 100%, she's putting it very well…we've been like filleted alive by everything that's happened over the past two years, on top of the heavy load both of us have always carried around, and we're kind of just hanging on for dear life rn

beginning of the month we got hit with an overdraft fee from storage unit payment not going through, going to sell plasma in a bit to get some groceries but if anyone wants to send even 10 bucks it'd help us not wrack up further negative balance thank you

My partner & I are homeless disabled artists. We're trying to raise funds to remain sheltered into next week while we seek permanent housing. We need to raise $700 to hit this goal. It's a lot but I ain't got no shame anymore. I just wanna live. Thanks!! venmo.com/u/bsoft ko-fi.com/bachelor_sof...

The first thing Lily's sharing is her wild work-in-progress new website she's been working on for quite a while (I helped out some by writing a static site generator for her to use and it's been really fun for me to see her make stuff with it) mega-hyper-alert-x68000.cicadamarionette.com/posts/2

The first thing I'm sharing for our fundraiser is a translation I did last month of a lesser-known but hilarious very early comic by Rumiko Takahashi mega-hyper-alert-x68000.cicadamarionette.com/posts/1

IN THE COMING DAYS multiple unseen RPGs, 3D Rooms, and even Secrets.. yes dig through our HDDs with us and let's see what we find!! please consider donating so we can actually end up in a place to finish more of this stuff, and not just end up stranded in texas where zoe won't have healthcare!! wow!

EMERGENCY please share widely!! we're a trans couple who have had really bad luck with housing the last couple years and need to find a place by April 1st, it would be a true miracle if we can just find a place. WE ARE WILLING TO PAY!! spinnylights.net/hyper_alert/

Right now I am dealing with seizures, fucked vision, difficulty walking, and I can’t hear out of my left ear. Last one will be fixed soon hopefully but it still stinks! Also I am overdrawn and unemployable. So that is why I am constantly begging. Plz forgive, many thx ko-fi.com/bachelor_sof...

re last rt, lily and i did the aquarium zone for that game, v fun project ^^ iir she did most of the 3D models and textures, and i did most of the animations and materials/shading, as well as the audio…we did everything together tho ultimately, it was very side-by-side collaborative

PLEASE PLAY THIS it has beautiful movement, zoe's felt discouraged from making more but i want to see her make more of it!!

congratulations here is your prize

i can do music for these as well, although the migraines are slowing me down a lot in that department and i have something of a backlog, but still, if you can wait a bit, i'm a classically-trained composer, experienced synth programmer, and long-time guitarist soundcloud.com/spinnylights

commissions! our stuff is still in storage since Zoe has been having migraines continuously for 2 months now, and they keep raising the price of the unit- other unexpected expenses came up and it's been desperate, just keeping fed has been a struggle. reach me at: corpse@cicadamarionette.com
