February 2025 Patreon thank you and site/life update
Hi everyone! I hope everybody is okay despite everything going on in America and the world ):
As some of you who follow me elsewhere know, I've been recovering from sudden surgery for most of January which is why I haven't really been able to do much with the blog this month. I'm still recovering so this update will be short.
Before I had to get surgery, I managed to restore and update some old posts, they are: this old Black Widow post & an associated humorous redraw with Iron Man in her position instead, a great inked redraw of Yelena Belova by frequent EG contributor Deanna M. Brigman, a really strange cover of Yelena and Natasha fighting,and an old panel of Natasha from Avengers #399 which I finally found a source for.
All restored/fixed posts have working images, videos, and animated gifs (a lot were broken or deleted by either Tumblr or during the move to the new site), and have added image descriptions for screenreaders, sources, and link to the corresponding cross-post on Tumblr, so people can see what the Tumblr comments said and Tumblr users can see what was said on Disqus.
I have also been looking through my email inbox and Tumblr inbox, and there's a bunch of submissions during the pandemic and site move period that I think I never got around to posting due to a combination of moving the site, the pandemic, and exam stresses. I'm really sorry for missing those, and I'm now processing and posting them all.
And now I want to give a huge sincere thank you to Escher Girls' January 2025 Patreon subscribers as well as those who have donated on Ko-Fi this month. Thank you so so much for your support and helping to keep this site afloat. If you want to join my Patreon, you can here, it helps me keep the site updated and running as hosting and domain costs continue to rise.
Also, if you want to help me with post-surgical recovery, you can donate at ko-fi here. I don't expect people to donate anything, especially in this economic climate, but if you want to, I would be really grateful and appreciative.
Anyway, without further ado, thank you so so much to the following for subscribing to the Escher Girls patreon last month:

PS: As a reminder, we added a button that links to the Escher Girls Tumblr and to our RSS feed for those who want to follow that way. (For newbies, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is basically a feed you can read using an RSS reader. Simply copy and paste https://eschergirls.com/rss.xml into an RSS reader and it will keep you up to date on Escher Girls!)
Make sure it is eschergirls.com and not eschergirls.tumblr.com, as that is Tumblr, and not the self-hosted site.
If you have any issues with the site or suggestions to improve it, please do not hesitate to contact me and let me know!
