UPDATE!
🕑 Added 2020-03-30 02:56:55 +0000 UTCHey guys.
I want to talk about what's going on in the world and where I've been during it.
As it is abundantly clear now for most of you, there is a goddamn pandemic running around. I've been following this closely since mid Jan and as time went on it began very clear to me that this was going to balloon out of control.
I spent the next month or so prepping and obsessively following the news because the fear and anxiety of this thing gripped me. It's hard to say if I've been anxious, depressed, panicked or obsessed. Unfortunately it has affected my updates to you. I want you to know I feel terrible about letting you guys down.
I feel now that I'm slowly turning the corner emotionally and can sit myself down now and focus on producing art. Ultimately, as much as I rely financially on your support, I feel it is more important that all of you consider yourselves and your families first. As much as it will hurt me to ask you to do this I think it is worth considering unpledging to me and many content creators if you are living paycheck to paycheck to ensure you are feeding yourself and loved ones and paying rent and utilities.
Unfortunately, I truly believe this issue will last until December. Please take care of yourselves.

Hey Onta. This was a great post. I’ve noticed your concerns coming through in your twitter posts (whenever I actually check Twitter, that place is generally a mess these days). I just wanted to say I think it’s really cool you’re being honest about your concerns and giving your opinion on this matter- this pandemic has been.. such a weird fucking experience so far. A bizarre mix of being serious yet not being taken seriously by so many people- I guess causing a cascading problem where when we see some people being lax, it’s perceived as permission to also be lax about precautions? Or something? I can’t even effectively describe precisely why watching the world move for the last 2 months has felt like watching a train wreck in slow motion, but it has and it’s still happening in real (slow) time. Anyway, I’m kinda rambling, all this is to say that I think your heartfelt expression of concern is really cool and I kinda wish more people would do it. Take care of yourself and we’ll see you when we see you!
