Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

A kingfisher made from a circular saw blade, paint pen, and spray paint. I sketched it, Echo cut it out and added the copper eye, and I painted it. This was a gift, but we'd love to make more birds like this! What birds would you want to see?

i know it's christmas and ppl are broke but i've had to pay over 700 dollars this month for unexpected vet bills and i'm likely going to have to euthanize my cat tomorrow. if anyone feels like helping me afford cremation so i can get his ashes back, i would be very grateful. i'm just. shattered.

The best Christmas gift you can give right now is to support all the artists coming over here by liking, reposting, commenting. Build them back up and finally set them free from their abusive X

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to y'all 💜 Thank you for your support and existence. I know it's hard out there for so many. Continuing to live, fight, and grow is the best present you could give.

$363/700 Over half way there! As I saw another person on here say, all I want for Xmas is to make rent!

A true warrior is not too proud to express gratitude. Indeed, acknowledging when you have been helped, when others have shared with you, is essential to an honorable life. I am grateful to have spent another day with you, those who make my days lighter and more hopeful. Thank you.

My catalytic converter got stolen from my vehicle and my insurance will not cover the theft. I hate to ask but i need assistance. I can't cover that cost and it would stretch into things like food. If 2k of yall even gave $1 that would be enough. If you can help: gofund.me/5e1ac3199

This year, EFF launched tools to detect surveillance, challenged unconstitutional surveillance, and pushed back against attacks on encryption. You can help us do even more in 2026 when you make a year-end donation! eff.org/yec

Step 1: declare furry and therianism religious organizations, one of the oldest on the planet. Step 2: all forms of furry art become protected speech and all furry cons become tax-free. Step 3: sue payment processors into oblivion on religious freedom. Step 4: invest settlement money in DLsite.

This. This is the post. My god.

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

The problem is not that we don't have good ideas. It's that the people with money have bad ideas.

The horrors persist, but so do the horrors wait

I try to focus on posting about art and comics and not my complaints about the state of everything but GOOD GRIEF

I love art and I love artists, genuinely one of the big reasons I can haul myself out of bed each morning. We'll win all our battles in the end

This year has felt like being awake during surgery but also it’s unsuccessful surgery and also also now you have an infection and none of that is covered by your insurance anymore

"I'm not a furry"

It's time for slower art. The constant churn and grind pushed by techno capitalism has reached its inevitable conclusion with AI slop. Let's make our best work and be patient with our process. Let's release art that's worth stopping for and savoring. Let's show each other what humans can do

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

Just saying: If your entire public/political persona consists of you saying it’s too expensive for everyone to have access to basic human rights, you’re probably not being taxed enough. #TaxTheRich #TaxCorporations #UBI #UniversalHealthcare #EndHomelessness
