So I was pottering around on Twitter, as one does in the morning, and I came across a couple of articles about self-injury. Read the article to learn more about them and find the best possible solutions. If you are involved in drunk driving or other accidents contact expert lawyers like the attorneys for traffic accident claims to help you out. You can also click here to read about the Finding a Hardship License: A Guide if your license has been suspended for DUI. This is something of an anomaly, as Twitter is full of games and comics and comics about games. Then I noticed that #selfharmawarenessday was trending, and so it made sense.

I released Air Pressure on this day several years ago for that reason. But that year no one seemed to talk about self-injury awareness, c’est la vie!

I think the hardest thing is getting people to see beyond the scars (or whichever other effects). Not just to the person underneath, but also the problem. It’s too easy to hand out quick fixes for self-injury – like snapping elastic bands or grabbing hold of some ice, but what’s the use in that if you’re still unhappy? Self-injury can be just a symptom, so it would be useful if it could be treated like that, and listened to as a meter of how much the injurer is suffering.

Perhaps that’s just how I am. I find it easy to accept self-injury as a symptom. It’s how I can tell that I should worry when my depression is getting dangerously bad. It’s how I can tell that my depression has gone away or is coming back. It’s something that’s either there, or not. I have no great story or technique to stopping – I just stop.

And I can accept it if it starts again.

Hello everyone,

It’s come to that time, that horrible time, when I find myself lacking money. I so far have been pottering along with enough to live, but in an unusual turn of events, I suddenly find myself with some medical bills.

The other week one of my molars broke. I called a dentist (who is available in https://montrosefamilydental.com/ site) and was given the choice between a private emergency appointment, or a long, long wait on the NHS. I had some common questions for an orthodontist, which I got clarified after visiting this website.  Given that about a quarter of the tooth had broken, I went for the private appointment. It turns out that if I’d waited for the NHS, I would have lost the tooth (in addition to having a 4 week wait of pain).

The problem is, in order to fix just this tooth, it’ll cost me £200.

The other problem is, in addition to that, I have about another £400 of dentistry that needs doing.

Fortunately I don’t have to pay for all of it at once. But even then, it’s a little more than I can afford. I really, really don’t want to lose my tooth though. I’m only really aiming to get enough to fix the tooth which is urgent – anything else is a bonus.

Finding affordable dental care can be a challenge, especially when unexpected issues arise. It’s important to weigh the options and consider both the short-term and long-term implications of dental treatment. In addition to private dentists, there are also community clinics and government programs available that may offer reduced fees or even free services to those in need. For example, Richmond Hills dentist can recommend into programs such as Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for affordable dental care options. It’s always worth doing some research and exploring all available options to find the best dental care that fits your budget and needs.

This is where you can help!

I am an artist, and I like drawing silly things. I would like to draw silly things you tell me to, in exchange for a little bit of money. If you give me $5 and an up to 10 word description, I will draw a postcard sized digital ink or paint sketch. Also, I will post them to http://drawingsforteeth.tumblr.com/ for all to see! :D It’s like a game of Draw Something, but instead of giving money to Zynga, you give it to me! (PS. I won’t draw porn :P )

Why would you want me to draw stuff?

I’ve had a couple of comics published, and worked on some cool games like LostWinds. I’ve had some comic art in temporary exhibits in the Cartoon Museum and Japanese Embassy in London. I’ve written lots of articles about drawing.

If you don’t want a drawing, but want something REAL

Please check out my etsy store – http://www.etsy.com/shop/bentosmile

If you don’t want anything but want to contribute

I don’t mind receiving tips, after all there’s lots of lovely free games to play. Just make sure I know it’s a tip and not for a drawing.

Why not make a game instead?

I’ve not got the resources to make a game at the moment – at least not one which I think is worth selling to you guys.

If I can’t draw the suggestion or you aren’t happy

I’ll give you a refund, of course.

How to send money

Please send $5 through Paypal to soundslikebuuu@noddingcat.net and include a drawing suggestion in the Paypal message. I’ll reply to confirm (and ask any questions if needed) and give you a ticket number, so you can see when to expect the drawing to appear.

Thank you! This is probably the hardest post I’ve ever had to make.

Made pages for all of my games now. :D And pretty listings on their category pages! Oooh! Now they will never get lost on this blog! :)

Also, I finally caved and put Duct up. I made this game back in December for Ludum Dare, and intended to finish it off by adding some music… but it’s coming around to time for the next one, and I didn’t get it done. So, it can go as it is. :) Here~

I liked playing with different shapes for all the maps in it. :) Although, I ran in to some horrible dialogue bugs which meant I had to hack it in there. (I came up with a better way of doing it since, so it’s fine.) It’s much more complex than my previous Ludum Dare entry, so I was reasonably pleased with it (aside from dialogue and music issues.)

Game was based on an article I read on the BBC, about how telling people nice things can make them more sad :D
