Hey y’all. I’m a survivor of decades of childhood trafficking, living with CPTSD. With the Epstein files dominating the news, coping has been brutal. I’m an artist, but right now I need mutual aid for meds + groceries. P yPal dot m e/talyai Vnmo: @irl_punch C: $atthezoo94 #helpsky #cf #ma #artsky

I've raised $0 today! #helpsky #ma

I had millions of views on some viral posts. The moment I linked my crowdfund to survive, what shows up isn’t support, it’s a swarm of Nazis in my comments🫠

I’m logging off for the night, hoping to wake up closer to my $1,200 goal for the month(bills, meds, and groceries). If donating isn’t possible, please share. Every bit of support truly helps #cf #helpsky #mutualaid #queersky ##disabled #helpSaveLives2026 #mutualaidsaveslives

Thanks for the help y'all! I just received $15☺️ Lets get a match train going, can anyone match or exceed that contribution to my survival fund? Help a Black trans disabled artist survive this fascist hellscape P yPal dot m e/talyai Vnmo: @irl_punch C: $atthezoo94

That ‘can we go back to regular police brutality’ comment has me reeling. Because once you hear it, you realize that even when it’s not phrased that bluntly, that’s the underlying demand a lot of white people are making. I'm not going to pretend that is okay.

Genuine question: what are real tips for ICE encounters for someone like me? Child of a Nigerian immigrant, queer, visibly Muslim, with a “foreign” name. I don’t trust them to respect my rights or believe my papers. If they stop me, what do I do? Is getting a passport worth it?

This weather combined with public transit is so absurd. It shouldn't be such a high stakes vibe to go to the grocery store

I am at high risk of slipping on ice. So, I want to take up baseball, to balance out. But, I can't afford a bat. A LOT of folkswho slip on ICE are like me, so a baseball bat would be super helpful rn P yPal dot m e/talyai Vnmo: @irl_punch C: $atthezoo94

When white death becomes the trigger for reform, the goal isn’t justice. It is restoring comfort and safety for white people.

I got locked out of my account for a month but I'm finally back! everyone clap

Watching my crowdfunding post hit 100k+ views while still trying to scrape together $100 for groceries is honestly heartbreaking.

To all you bigots that keep telling me to k** myself because, I survived my first attempt at 3 years old. Nothing you say could ever reach me. My will to live has been forged in bronze over multiple decades. Cope harder

I made a post about a week ago about having some of my art acquired for a private collection for the first time, and some folks made fun of it, saying they hoped it was a joke. Anyway, this is me doubling down. Here are the finished pieces I'm selling, I enjoyed creating them:

I have $110 in library fines in collections. I lost a few books a number of years back, and have never been able to pay for it. I may need to crowdfund to regain access to the public library🥴 This is a wild ADHD tax to be paying😭

Here's an update to this drawing! This one is going to take a while😅

The bread is stale and the circus is AI generated

This one has taken me all day and it's been rough to get the proportions similar, I'll be going back over it with a fountain pen and ink when the pencil drawing is done. Thus far, its a pencil drawing on 18x24inch multimedia paper #artsky #blackArtist #pencilsketch #neverai #queerartist

I've been enjoying charcoal sketching lately. This is a blue jay, they are jerks

My SNAP application was denied before I even had a chance. While I go through the appeals process and everything, please help me get some groceries! Any amount helps a Black Trans artist eat fresh produce today! V @irl_punch C $atthezoo94 PayPal dot me/talyai

Take a look at this charcoal self portrait I started today. I started the underpainting for a large piece yesterday, but I can't do much more until my large easel arrives tomorrow. So, I'm drawing this in the meantime #artsky #charcoal #selfportrait #neverai #blackartist #trans

A drawing of an unfinished painting #artsky

Getting ready to tackle 2 large 24” x 36” paintings. Just waiting on a sturdier easel to arrive in the mail since my current one would not survive the weight. Until then, it’s sketching time and revisiting a plein air piece I started on the roof in early fall. #artsky #acrylicpaint #neverai

A blue wearing kinda day I enjoy using cool tones as an accent. I think the gender connotations are fun #nonbinary #enby #transsky

@refold.bsky.social oh hi! Just stopping by because ur name is my fave band of allllll time🙂‍↕️🤗 In high school Iceland was my hyperfixation so I listened to only Sigur Ros for 4 years straight. I even wore headphones in public (which was weird back then lol) and learned a good bit of Icelandic🙂‍↕️😅

If there was no deliberative process exemption, I bet FOIA requests on the decision to add these to form letters would turn up some supremely revolting shit

My SNAP denial came with the 988 suicide hotline on the envelope and a smiley face inside. This is what “support” looks like under austerity: crisis lines instead of material care.

Someone is commissioning me for at least 1, maybe a few large paintings for a private collection. It's largely up to my artistic direction, and I've always wanted to do something like this. So whyyyy am I so nervous? Suddenly the imposter syndrome is bubbling up like indigestion.

Please look out for Tal! Dunno what's gonna happen with the state aid that's remaining but folks still gotta eat. #helpsky #mutualaid #helpfolkslive2025 #disability #communitycare 💸💕 #BlackMutualaid

I've raised $0 so far!

I was once hired to be an Executive Assistant at an engineering firm. Unfortunately, one of the main side effects of my ADHD is Executive Dysfunction. It was... Not a good match😭😅

GOAL MET‼️ Thank you for all the support y'all, I really appreciate it! I was able to get some boots🙂‍↕️ My warm dry toes thank y'all for helping me protect myself from Cleveland's bitter cold🤗

Thank you so much for your support yall! I'm 1/2 to my goal! my Dr appointment is later this afternoon, could anyone help me raise this last $25? Any amount helps! C: atthezoo94 V: @irl_punch Payp al dotme/talyai #ma #mutualaid #helpskky #queer #transgender #theythem #theyhe #artist

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world airborne viruses are spread by hands.

I was selected to be an ekphrastic poet for this spring. I'll be writing poetry in response to some artists'work, and performing it. I'll also be in a local play this January. I had a dance audition today. And, I'm in talks to sell some of my larger oil paintings. Alhamdulillah for everything 🙂‍↕️

Fitness win! I just cleared Lady Gagas Telephone on the highest level, expert plus on #beatsaber😭🏋🏾🪩

I wish my health insurance paid for healthy lifestyle things that I need to manage my health conditions🥴 Specific fresh produce, sunlight lamp, vitamins, fitness gear, white noise machine, humidifier, special skincare, compression gear, massager, the list goes on and on

I'm still at $0 for a ride to and from the doctor this week! Please continue to spread this far and wide, this is an important appointment, I really don't want to miss it! #ma #helpsky #helpSaveLives2025 #mutualAid #crowdfund #bipoc #qpoc #trans #transmasc #theythem #theyhe #blacksky

Watercolour painting in a woodland, with an interesting wooden footbridge over a stream. This is the second version: I gave the first version to the person who owned these grounds but she has since moved. I hope it's a nice reminder for her. #art #watercolour #woodland

Tried sketching but art block is in my way again

I’m having a PTSD flare-up with flashbacks from childhood trafficking and need to see my doctor this week. With windchills under 10°F, the bus isn’t safe. If anyone can help cover an Uber there and back, $50 would mean a lot! C: atthezoo94 V: @irl_punch Payp al . me/talyai #helpsky #ma #disability

Learning to self-soothe as a 30 year adult is... exhausting #healthsky #mentalhealth

FYI for fellow food-insecure folks: sprouting beans & seeds is an easy win. Dried beans are cheap, need only water, grow in +-7 days, and make soups and stir-fries way more filling #SNAP #foodinsecurity #foodDessert #mutualAid

I just applied for a tattoo apprenticeship. Not getting my hopes up(most places don’t respond), but it feels good to apply for something I actually want and could do. I’m going after every art-related opportunity I can find, and this one sounds especially exciting. #artsky #cleveland #artist #ohio

I thought it was just anxiety. Turns out it’s Panic Disorder. The racing heart, sweating, and mental/physical overload I feel multiple times a day? Those are the beginnings of panic attacks. That explains a lot. #healthsky #disabled #panic #anxiety

It is very difficult to be creative when I am stuck in survival mode #artsky #disabled
