Life or Death
I'm so far past the demand deadline, and with each passing day without a sale, I become surer an eviction notice will be posted on my door. And it's just not coming together. I don't know what to do anymore.
Update: new texts


Please!!! I won't survive being evicted and if I don't put together the remaining $2305 by midnight tonight I will be evicted.


A Demand for payment was posted on February 21st, days after I cured a demand for January rent post on the 2st of February. I cannot afford to lose my my housing. I've lost all of my international sales. This year has been particularly difficult so far because of reasons.

Buy a painting and be a miracle for a struggling artist.

Wait a second... is it not normal for people to wear outfits relating to events or places they're going to?
I work at a garden center and always wear plant themed dress shirts, flower earrings, a straw sunhat with ladybug pins on it, and a floral print bowtie. Some days I even wear my cute overalls. Am I...a cartoon character? 😳
walked into a burger place to pick up my order and the girl behind the counter looked at my shirt funny so I look down and the shirt is a picture of a girl excited about eating a hamburger and fries. i'm such a fucking cartoon character right now. this is the shirt

Hey Tumblr people! I just had a very random question pop into my head, and I want to know how other people would answer it <:
So... if you were to make a man a bouquet of flowers, what flowers would you use to make it?
It could be for a male friend, a male family member, a husband/boyfriend, etc.
I ask this for no reason at all, and I'm just curious as to what flowers people would use and what flowers would be used the most on average (:
I personally would use peach roses, soft pink peonies, pink alstromeria, white carnations, pink stocks, and crape myrtle for greenery! C:
#spiffy speaks#plants#botany#plantblr#flowers#floral#bouquet#roses#peonies#carnations#I was just kinda thinking about common gender stereotypes#and was thinking about how guys don't commonly get flowers as much#and then I was like “so what is the stereotypical flower for guys”#there's “flowers for women” cause you know everything has to be gendered 😒#idk#I'm just curious to see what kind of flowers will show up the most#and I want to see what guys think about this question as well#i hope this all comes across as intended and in a way that's easy to understand lol ���#cause I personally think I sound like absolute nonsense

I wasn't able to cure the demand for payment. I made a partial payment, but I still need to pay $2300 for February and $4425 for March. I won't survive moving. It took everything I had not to use a razorblade to fix my financial issues permanently last night.
If you are able, please help me. I don't have anyone else I can ask.

Update:
She's going to flower for me!!! <:


My Bear-Paw succulent is turning into a little tree!!! :D
Three years ago it used to be a single tiny stem with leaves, and it's still insane to me how much it's grown in that time!!
My baby's growing up 🥺❤️

The bottom picture is literally me 🥺💖
Whenever I think about the Twilight movies my mind instantly goes to the scene where Bella first steps out of her father's car holding a tiny cactus. And then I remember the parody movie they made of Twlight where the main girl steps out the car with a gigantic cactus.
#botany#plants#cactus#barrel cactus#cacti#spiffy speaks#this is the aftermath of me going to a garden centre#there will always be room for more plants#even though i have to play a few rounds of plant tetris to find the right spot for it#also#i have never watched or read twilight#even so#the cactus is my favourite actor

It would be super helpful if a few people could send me a little grocery/supply money to tide me over until my next sale (or be my next sale.)

I was able to take care of my housing situation, for now, but it left me without extra money for groceries. I also have some paper but I need to mend it and to buy some pigments (yellow lilacs and gold poppies) to get things finished. If you can I'd be extremely grateful. If not, I understand. Thanks you all for your kindness, support (financial and emotional,) and forbearance.

I found all 27!! There should be a book that's just a bunch of stuff like this, I would certainly buy it! <:

How many insects can you spot?
Insects are the masters of camouflage and mimicry! Insects that are are camouflaged blend in with their environments through colors, patterns, and shapes. Mimicry is an evolutionary adaptation where insects resemble another species or a natural object.
There are 27 insects in this illustration showcasing the wonders of camouflage and mimicry. The answers will be posted later!

Another bird thing for my speculative biology project! This one spits fire!! <:
I also made a small diagram of the organ, and explained how it does this :3
#spec bio#original alien species#original species#speculative biology#speculative zoology#xenobiology#creatures#my art#spiffy's sketchbook#I love how the second page turned out#the first page I'm also proud of#but I just think the second one shows the ferocity I'm trying to get at better c:#hope you enjoy! <:#P.S. if you're wondering why it eats clay#that's because if it accidentally swallows any liquid nitroglycerine it will be diluted by the clay#this basically turns it's excrement into dynamite when ignited
