making a new post because the other one is a few months old now. i’m a trans masc with mental health and (seemingly ever being added to) physical health issues that have made it impossible for me to work for a while now and i’m coming to terms recently with the fact that i won’t be able to for a while now (i feel like it’s too early to say ever). i have chronic migraines, ibs, dental issues as a result of my mental health issues, chronic wrist pain due to tendon issues that make gripping and lifting difficult as it affects my grip. i also recently hurt my lower back to the point it’s really painful especially standing/walking much and bending and so between my depression and adhd i’m struggling to even get basic tasks done lately.
i’ve been advised to do physical therapy for my back and am waiting to hear back about injections for my wrist but i also do not drive so it’s difficult either getting friends to take me or affording ubers.
because i’m not working i’m also struggling to buy basic meals for myself and medications. for weekly grocery shopping i am never able to get enough food to get me through the week so that i’m actually eating enough. i do have an interview to see if i can get food assistance but that is at the end of the month and i’m not sure if i should even expect to get them.
and if anyone could help at all, or signal boost. it would be very much appreciated. unfortunately trying to get better or even just baseline live is fucking expensive and i’m just constantly stressed and anxious.

update as things are mostly the same but we’re at a new part of the journey which is that my doctor for my wrist has essentially signed off on the fact that yes i am currently disabled by my wrist pain and weakness to the point i can’t work. he basically said this with the caveat that he does not have a diagnosis for me which the government generally wants for disability assistance, but i’m hoping they’ll accept this for food assistance.
i have an appointment for a second opinion coming up in about a week as well as physical therapy that are both downtown about a half hour away. any help with getting there would save my ass.
i have my drs appointment for my second opinion in 4 days (july 22) and have $15 in my bank account rn. even if i can get enough to make the $30 trip there i can figure out what i’m doing to get home i don’t mind waiting a few hours to see if someone can pick me up later but i need to be able to make the appointment. i also have physical therapy in the same location on the 21st but if i end up needing to reschedule that i can. i'm gonna need to talk to them about logistics anyway cause there's no way i'll be able to get there twice a week.
Species Update: Koala
I just added a bunch of new koala photos, check them out!
The Animal Photo Reference Repository is an independent, permanently open-access project and funded entirely by donations. Artists creating derivative or transformative works (without AI) have blanket permission to use all photos in the repository as references.

Oh my gooooosh this just reminds me of how many photos I have of Australian natives since they are literally native here and koalas specifically are the most common thing in every zoo. I've been lucky enough to spot koalas in the wild once or twice, but the only photos I have from those times are barely visible. Also my 'photo' equipment in general sucks compared to this very professional photography, but I wanted to share a few koala photos of my own anyway...
These are from 2018, the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Despite the name, they actually have a tonne of other animals, all native. I got great photos of their raptor show, by my standards anyway.
From 2020, each a different place in or near Cairns I think (I'm limiting myself to two from each month and we were there a couple weeks). First one is probably this crocodile-focused place we went to, but I don't remember what the second one was from since we went to quite a lot of animal-focused places there. I wasn't lying about koalas being literally everywhere. xD
From just last month at Wildlife HQ... a baby! The primary reason I wanted to share these really, lol. Baby wouldn't come out from Mum's belly, and she was busy eating, so couldn't get a better view than this. When we passed again later on they had gone back to sleep and Baby was fully hidden away, so that was it.
Ohhhhh folk you’ve gotta see the baby.

I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who's the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn't a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don't read stuff you don't want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.
There is nothing quite like the freedom of having gone through all of the Discourse and come out the other side into the promised land of Not Giving A Fuck.
The three keys to the promised land are “Block, Unfollow, and Do Not Engage”
I have been in Fandom spaces for 20 years. It is LOVELY once you become the bog witch that no longer gives a fuck.

Hey I just want to throw out a quick THANK YOU to everyone who has reblogged this to add drawings of their characters kissing. I would reblog every single one but I don't want to spam anyone's dash, so instead here is a single addition below the jump with screenshots and tagged credits. Y'all give me life. Thank you thank you.
CHARACTERS KISSING HALL OF FAME GALLERY:
Just checking in to see how we're all doin'. Hope y'all are hanging in there and keepin' 'em kissin'. <3
So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.
I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.
Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.
So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.
Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.
Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵💫
Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.
Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.
I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.
People love simple, extremely practical things. I hope you win!

The Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository is live!
You can find it at: https://www.animal-photo-references.com!
Here's how this repository works: all photos were taken by me, a human, at zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, and other facilities with animals in human care. There is no AI involved in the photo editing or creation and there never will be. Right now there's 56 species on the site; my catalog has over 300 and I will be uploading the rest of them as fast as I can.
Artists creating derivative or transformative works (without AI) have blanket permission to use these references. Yes, even for work you're going to sell.
All other usage/reproduction requires permission, but assume I'm friendly and please do ask! That's educators, researchers, the media, people who need images for a school presentation, etc. This is just to retain copyright/control in case they're scraped/reused unethically - it doesn't meant I don't want folk to have access! So please do reach out via the contact form on the repository website, I don't bite and I'm most likely going to say yes.
Please don't repost the repository photos to your own blogs: I've created @animalphotorefs as a dedicated blog to share photos from the site, and of course I'll reblog a lot of it here! That again just helps with retaining copyright and sourcing of the images. If you really want to repost some for a specific purpose, please just ask me first!
Also, folks, this project has no funding. It's just me and my camera.
There will never be a paywall on the site - I believe resources like this absolutely must be free for everyone to access. So please, please, please support the repository if you use it. Want sneak peeks at photos, cute videos I take, or to help choose what I photograph and what gets posted first? You can do that through Patreon (and there's a free trial on the most interactive tier!) If you'd like to just drop a tip, I've also set up a Ko-Fi.
I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the repository.
To whet your thirst for cute photos, here's an Indian rhinoceros contemplating a goose.
I genuinely read that as 'erotic animal photo reference' and I was nodding along like 'oh this is cool I'm not a furry but it's nice that someone is making a reference source that people can use without the op getting mad that the animals got hornified'. Like yes this makes total sense in tumblr culture I'll signal boost that. 😅😅😅
Let’s be real: you can’t make a resource like this and popularize it on tungl.hell without expecting it to be used by the furry community. That isn’t the only audience for the site, but… make the art you want to make, folks. I'm not here to judge.

A look at the difference between my Patreon and my Substack.
One of the things I love to do on my Patreon is move on some of the art supplies and books in my studio. I really can't take the time or energy to sell the books, and haven't any interest in doing so, especially since many were given to me for review purposes. I'd feel bad about that. It makes me happy to move them on to new readers.
Many of the art supplies were also given to me for testing and review purposes. I've given away over 300 swag packages so far.

Again, I'll be at SDCC VERY briefly, one signing on Thursday at the National Cartoonists Society Booth 1307 9:30 AM - 11:00. THAT'S THE ONLY SIGNING.
I will be at the Eisner Hall of Fame Award ceremony as a 2026 nominee. the ceremony is at 10 AM at the Convention Center in room 29CD. Wish me luck.
