Hello!

My spouse was fired July 2023 for being trans and disabled. They have not had any luck finding a new job. Their severance ended in May and their last interview was September 2023. I’ve been earning a small bonus the past couple months but that ends tomorrow and I’m not mentally well enough to get a second job.

We moved to a smaller, less expensive apartment but things are still tight. I need a dental implant that is going to cost $4,000 minimum. I just spent $1000 on car repairs.

We are not destitute, we are not in danger of being evicted, we’re cutting back on things, and I’m trying to set a budget but I’m still concerned because a lot is riding on my income.

If you would like to assist I am selling art:

We’ve got acrylic landscapes! The dock looks good on a pillow!

We’ve got mushrooms! Looks nice on a postcard or a notebook!

We’ve got chalk pastel cosmic entities! Beautiful vibrant colors!

We’ve got sunflowers and shooting stars! Sunflowers make a nice magnet!

We’ve got abstract gardens and religious trauma! The garden looks good on all kinds of things! Tote bag, mousepad, notebook, coffee mug, etc!

Don’t like any of that? There’s more in my store! Maybe there’s something else there for you!

Thanks!!

If you would like to help but don’t want to buy art you can DM me for my PayPal. Since I’m not destitute I don’t really want to ask for direct cash assistance, but I know some people would prefer to just toss me a few bucks and move on.

September 2024: The First Week

Wednesday harvest - complete with rat chewed eggplants:

Thursday harvest:

Saturday harvest:

Ruby-throated hummingbird sub-adult. It didn't have most of its adult colors & its mom would still occasionally come & feed it:

The outcome of Sunday's bank fishing trip & that night's dinner. We only caught one but, if you only end up catching one fish, this is a good size:

I thought that dear @allseeingear would enjoy a look at the mushrooms gradually decaying the wood in my yard~

The hungry fungi and the weeping sky working together to weather the weak wood~

What a lovely sight :)

Caught a surprise guest while snapping a mushroom from underneath; this slug's just hanging out, adding a twist to an already charming scene. The gills of the mushroom fan out beautifully against the backdrop of a bright blue sky.

Wye Lake, YT (No. 4)

The territory is the approximate shape of a right triangle, bordering the U.S. state of Alaska to the west and northwest for 1,210 kilometres (752 mi) mostly along longitude 141° W, the Northwest Territories to the east and British Columbia to the south mostly along latitude 60° N. Its northern coast is on the Beaufort Sea. Its ragged eastern boundary mostly follows the divide between the Yukon Basin and the Mackenzie River drainage basin to the east in the Mackenzie mountains.

Most of the territory is in the watershed of its namesake, the Yukon River. The southern Yukon is dotted with a large number of large, long and narrow glacier-fed alpine lakes, most of which flow into the Yukon River system. The larger lakes include Teslin Lake, Atlin Lake, Tagish Lake, Marsh Lake, Lake Laberge, Kusawa Lake and Kluane Lake. Bennett Lake on the Klondike Gold Rush trail is a lake flowing into Nares Lake, with the greater part of its area within Yukon. Other watersheds in the territory include the Mackenzie River, the Peel Watershed and the Alsek–Tatshenshini, and a number of rivers flowing directly into the Beaufort Sea. The two main Yukon rivers flowing into the Mackenzie in the Northwest Territories are the Liard River in the southeast and the Peel River and its tributaries in the northeast.

Canada's highest point, Mount Logan (5,959 m or 19,551 ft), is in the territory's southwest. Mount Logan and a large part of the Yukon's southwest are in Kluane National Park and Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other national parks include Ivvavik National Park and Vuntut National Park in the north. A second UNESCO World Heritage Site, Tr'ondëk-Klondike World Heritage Site, was designated in 2023.

Notable widespread tree species within the Yukon are the black spruce and white spruce. Many trees are stunted because of the short growing season and severe climate.
