Okay, real quick: this chapter is going to get rougher than usual. I’m not gonna get in the weeds about it up front but I will try to mention when a particular update could cause distress, please take care.
in other news hey hi a truly impressive amount of bullshit has occurred since the last post but here are the bullet points:
-Lee’s dad did not die! He was simply mistreated so catastrophically by the Tennessee healthcare system everybody thought he was dying, due to the side effects of neglect by medical professionals; the short version is they took him off life support after sending his family into hysterics, and when he didn’t deteriorate they basically were like “oh huh lol”. This isn’t even the first time medical neglect has happened to me or Lee or our family members personally and wouldn’t have been the first death it caused so idk at least we’re committed to the bit lol lmao
-We still had to cancel two shows at the last minute, which means we lost all the table money we paid for them and the opportunity to go make a profit, and spent nearly 900 dollars in plane tickets, and Lee still spent several days traveling several thousand miles alone and under the impression their father was on his deathbed. We know from experience Schrödinger’s Deathbed sucks ass, so like. Cool things turned out kind of okay, we are still both exhausted and out a ton of money. We’re fine, we aren’t in danger or anything, but it would be preferable to have not spent money and lost opportunities (and in Lee’s case piled on another solid week of various traumas) because of the incompetence of the state we left so we wouldn’t have to experience its incompetence any more.
-Lee is home safely, and while they’re still very much in total hermit mode they really appreciated all the kind and supportive things folks had me pass along for them this month. They wanted to get back to work making soft cute things, so the She plushes have been quietly listed again. Sorry the launch completely crashed and burned I have nothing cute to say about it lmfao. No plans for them to disappear again, so get ’em if you want and don’t worry if you need some extra time. This also means Lee’s back to running their regular shop, and they’ve added some of the stock we’d been planning to take to the two shows we had to cancel at the last minute because The South is a black fucking hole that never lets you go entirely.
In other news I have. another dentist appointment on tuesday, but it’s supposed to be the last one and I’m getting my fake fake teeth replaced with real fake teeth so maybe it’ll be fine. It probably won’t really be the last appointment and I’m probably in for another round of hourly panic attacks for the next several weeks but what can u do lol
thanks love you
