Hey! Where's the sketch stream? (Patreon)

Hello! I'm just gonna communicate some stuff with you for a bit. I dropped a general status update in my placeholder YouTube video a few weeks ago, but I'm gonna give you a more detailed and narrow update here about the current main roadblock: my health.

So, I've been fairly open and loud in the past about having Crohn's disease. It's an autoimmune condition, for which I take immunosuppressant drugs. For the last two months I've been having a pretty strong flare-up, which on top of... details I will not explain here (don't google them if you're eating), has not exactly been great for my energy levels or sleep. I'd also been nursing a bit of a cough (which you might have heard if you caught me in a call in April) - which took something of a turn for the worse at the start of May.

Despite having plenty of time to rest through much of May, it didn't really get better? Because hey, it turns out - immunosuppressants increase your vulnerability to opportunistic infections! I've had good days and bad days, generally been exhausted at all hours of the day.

The good news is that I am getting treated! I'm currently on a course of antibiotics and . I don't want to say "I'm better now" just yet, or give a timeline (because I've been saying "I'll be better next week" for like two months), just that hopefully I'll be on the mend.

During this time I'll be prioritising the processing of merch shipments (including Sovereign tier copies of Sunjackers Vol. 2), and I'll probably be able to work on Spitfire Act 9, but sketch streams are currently a bridge too far, which is why I just haven't had one in May. Hopefully normal service will resume soon!
