I'm sad.

Quick factual update before I get into the personal:

Zines (and August print rewards) are being actively mailed out right now and folks should start receiving them in the coming week
We are now accepting submissions for the September Patron Spotlight
There are 12 days left to submit your singing or playing to our community "Daughter of the Sea" choir project

Contrary to how all these smiling photos may appear, I'm having a really tough time right now, mental health-wise. I'm trying very, very hard to get all my pin-ups shot for the calendar, keep up with weekly videos, not let down the people I'm currently collaborating with, stay on top of Patreon rewards and streams, AND do important human things like eat and sleep, but lately it's feeling like one of those "shower: $5, work: $20, dinner: $10, sleep: $15, social relationships: $10, your budget is $30" memes. (I'm getting help, but unfortunately it's not exactly a "get therapist; feel perfect" kind of linear process.)

I'm not here to ask for your sympathy or anything, just to let you know that I'm sorry for any past and inevitable future delays and failures, I'm sorry I haven't been providing a ton of updates, and most of all, I am going to do my best to do all of this month's Patron streams, but it is entirely plausible that I will fall short — at least in part because I don't want to get on stream and just be sad and dark and quiet, so even the times when I could schedule a stream, I don't know that I'm in the right mental space to do it.

Just trying to keep you guys informed, I'm sorry this isn't a super pleasant post to read. I appreciate your understanding, and I hope I'll have some more upbeat posts for you soon.
