endless chirping

Hey guys, Emerson here. I know I don’t post much anymore, but this is something that means a lot to me.

Anyways, my budgie Pond is sick. We don’t know with what, we’re still waiting on the test results. We suspect that it’s chlamydia. I wanted to keep her at the vet for today and into tomorrow, but we had to go against vet’s orders and take her home because of the vet bills for keeping her there (totalling to $1100 between yesterday and today, but we cut it down to $700). We had to take her out of the oxygen tank, and her breathing is shallow and rapid. She’s not doing well out of the tank. My dad argued that she’s a $20 bird and that the expenses were far too much for a parakeet. I know you guys would understand the frustration this kind of statement brings about. I mean, if it was our dog who’s sick, he would do anything for him. I even offered up my whole savings to keep her there, but he wouldn’t allow it. So I’m stuck begging on the internet for help. The goal is to raise enough to cover current costs so we can break even and put her back in a hospital setting, specifically under intensive treatment and in an oxygenated tank.

If you donate, you can message me afterwards and I’ll try and make you some art. I’m decent at pet portraits and drawings. I really appreciate anything that comes our way, anything helps. Thank you for your time.

My commissions are [pretty much always] open. I’m a chronically ill and disabled college student and can’t work, so this is my only form of making money. Most of the money will go towards stuff for my birds! 

the details: 

I mostly draw animals but I can possibly do humans or OCs, it depends. just ask! I am, however, especially good at birds. 

I charge $30-$45. $30 is base price, $45 is if you want a background.

“Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.”

Trump has been president for literally 4 days and he’s already settling us into our new authoritarian regime. A few updates in case anyone hadn’t been keeping up:

At least twice now he or a member of his staff have made completely false claims that have been proven wrong already and offered no evidence to support what they were saying, then refused to take questions about it

Kellyanne Conway called their lies “alternative facts”

Trump has decided that he will choose which members of the press are allowed at his press conferences

He pulled a full Kim Jong-un and made his inauguration day a holiday (of patriotic devotion, as though 4th of July doesn’t exist ????)

He’s passed 6 executive orders so far and has stated his plan to add at least 2 more in the coming days which, among other things, will strip away healthcare from people, restart construction on the Keystone Pipeline and the DAPL, restrict foreign aid to anywhere abortions might be done, put a stop on refugees from Muslim countries entering the United States, and start building the Wall™

And if that weren’t all scary enough, at least six journalists are facing felony charges, 10 years in prison, and $25,000 fines for reporting on the unrest surrounding his inauguration. Felony charges. For covering an event he didn’t like.
