And which app(s) would they be on?

Or maybe top three if you can't choose (none of us can choose)

How did they come in to your life, what was your connection like, what made them different from other cats? Are they still with you, if not how do you cope with the loss? Photos appreciated too obvs.

Love this artist's work in Procreate, she was doing portrait commissions so I bought one of my little baby Oliver Instagram.com/sarbolton

I know I'm not the only queer person who has struggled with substance abuse – it's not uncommon in our community because of the chronic trauma so many of us do and have experience/d from our families, friends, and society at large.

I make art based on my experiences as a queer sober person and the joy it has brought to my life. If you want to take a look, it’s on Instagram and I also recently duplicated it to Pixelfed (federated photo-sharing community).

I'm working on a piece right now about alcohol companies rainbow-washing for pride. I think they are aware of the alcohol abuse in our community and it sucks. But it also is important to be represented in society, which is, at the moment, capitalism.

I welcome DMs from anyone who wants to talk about their drinking if they are worried it's problematic, or just want to talk. I've been sober for over three years :)

Disclaimer: Many people, including queer people, are able to drink in a way that is not disordered or unhealthy for them. I don't judge anyone who drinks!
