As of now, Puerto Rico is still trying to recover from the tremendous damage it has received from Hurricane Fiona. Approximately half of the whole population is without running water or electricity, so it would be wonderful if you checked out the resources listed in this recent thread. Thank you so much for reading, and have a good day! :)

EDIT: A thread on Hurricane Ian was recently added as well. Please check that out as well.

It's been a while lol... I've been busy with finals and now I'm spending my summer relaxing and experimenting with my art! Expect something soon... Oh and happy pride month!

Additionally, Northern India and Bangladesh just received some of the worst floods in the area's recent history, killing about 60 people and leaving millions deprived of safety and necessities such as food and drinkable water. This thread I made just now links to many resources, including articles and charities to aid citizens and to help outsiders get educated about the current situation going on. Thank you so so much for reading! https://twitter.com/FluffyCotton15/status/1539124443322241025

I'll keep this short, but please spread the word if you can. More information is detailed in the Instagram stories linked. https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17913495080514546/

I've been getting really into In the Night Garden lately, so I drew a few of the characters at school!... I promise I'm paying attention during classes, hehehehe....

Iggle Piggle,

Upsy Daisy,

and Makka Pakka :P

Fluffy? Actually posting something after what... almost a month? Unbelievable!

But yeah lol, I have a carrd now. Learning how to set up each element and asset took a while, but after experimenting with different settings and ideas, I think I've finally created something that I'm satisfied with! It'll be linked in my bio.

Also, Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit! :D

If you're Ukrainian, or live near the Russian border, and are reading this, my heart goes out to you. You guys deserve all the safety, security, and stability in the world. <3

As for everyone else, it would be wonderful if you could take time to check out these links, which have plenty of resources on what's currently going on in Ukraine. And if you can, please do whatever you can to help Ukraine out during these catastrophic times. Donating to people and trusted organizations, researching the topic on your own, and sharing your findings to people both online and offline.

Ukraine Carrd, CNN Live Coverage, Yunbuin's Thread, Today Article, Foreign Donation Site, Georgian Housing Thread for Ukrainians, Polish Government Website With A Lot Of Helpful Information, Georgia Stands With Ukraine, Highly Informative Video

If there is anything that I've neglected to include here, please let me know. Best of wishes to Ukraine and its surrounding nations.

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm fearmongering, but I can't leave this unaddressed. The EARN IT Act is an American proposed legislation that seeks to amend Section 230. Section 230 states "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." If this legislation were to pass, websites would be able to censor whatever they want, leading to the web as we know it to become a former shell of what it once was, and that isn't even going into all of the negative effects that the EARN IT Act could initiate.

Don't think this just affects the US; most big websites, including Newgrounds, are based there, so even if you were to live elsewhere, you would still witness the effects of the EARN IT Act.

A Twitter thread filled with resources I find will be linked here. Thank you so much for taking the time to read through this whole thing, your patience is greatly appreciated! :)

I'm super excited, and admittedly a little nervous, about publishing content and interacting with others on this site! The community here is very vibrant, so I figured that it would be fun to join in on the action. And to whoever is reading this post, have a pleasant day or night, depending on where you're from! :)
