So, I've kept quiet on my various art sites about the war. It just ... I dunno. It's another voice of frustration and empathy. I'm American, I'm not directly involved and I've never experienced anything like it. Anything I would say, people have heard a million times. And sources I have, well, I truly believe anyone watching me would have seen those journals by now from others. So what do I say?

I did find out that Itchio is doing a bundle for Ukraine, though. I haven't seen much talk about it, so figured I would share that information.

Itchio is a platform for independent artists, mostly for video games but also sometimes books and stuff. https://itch.io/ I haven't checked it out in full, TBH, but they did a bundle for BLM a bit ago.

Here is the link to the Ukraine bundle: https://itch.io/b/1316/bundle-for-ukraine There are currently 992 items there for $10 (though you can give more) (and I think they are still adding to it). All proceeds are going to Voices of Children and International Medical corps.

Some highlights I happen to notice is SkateBird, an unofficial book about Undertale talking about why we want to befriend the typical RPG monsters, Backbone which is a furry noir story, and Thristy Lesbian Swords which, I mean, that's a game name. XD Oh! And Highway Blossoms remastered edition is on there, which is a real treat! Loved that game. <3 And that's only with a light look.

So, if you're into gaming and looking for a way to donate as well as support indie arts by getting their products known, there you go.

And here's hoping the war ends soon. For everyone's sake.
