In all seriousness if someone you don't know sends you a large sum of money via a payment app, don't touch it, because it's more likely to be a chargeback/fake check scam than an act of altruism. The scams work by banking on you withdrawing immediately, and then they convince you that they accidentally sent too much, which leads to you sending back real money before the original deposit bounces and your account is now in the negative for that first deposit amount in addition to what was sent back. If a significant amount of time (like, months) passes and the deposit stays, document any steps you took to ensure its legitimacy and only then treat it as safe.
This is also why using invoices as an artist or other business owner is important, the same scam happens with "overpayment".

Wait im so sorry if this is weird pls ignore jt if you don't like it, but do you still have the toe?
oh I did actually mention in the tags of my original post that it was sewn back on, but the nail bed was permanently damaged and it doesn't have a nail at all, just a little scar that kind of looks like a staple mark. the bed on the next toe was also damaged, and it doesn't grow correctly.

I've been trying to add alt text to my drawings the last few times I've posted them, but someone just reblogged one tagged 'undescribed'. Is alt text ineffective for descriptions or were they just in error?

I know I’ve already done this, but it’s been a while and a lot has happened since. So let's do it again, with passion this time!
