hi friends, i'm in need of help paying two bills by the 15th as i'm still looking for work. i need $119 for both, as one is $50 and the other is $69. any help is deeply appreciated. please boost if you're able to. thank you all so much. 💜 www.paypal.me/dogsnarls

My baby girl has chest fractures, and it saddens me to see her fading day by day. We desperately need help—every donation, no matter how small, could save her life. Support us.🙏😢 gofund.me/4f2edf6d

I 100% get why Link did the mutual aid Fridays. Like, every time someone replies by telling me the need is met is one less person struggling in the world.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do. In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap. Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

For 2 long years of genocide, your love kept us alive when the world forgot us. 💔 Every dollar you gave was a heartbeat for my little boy Nasser. But his medicine is running out, and hunger is closing in again. Please, don’t let our light fade now ,we still need you. 🙏❤️‍🩹 🔗 gofund.me/edd687b8

Urgent I only have enough to cover my negative balance but not my bills #MutualAidRequest

None of us can do everything but each of us can do SOMETHING.

Ceramic dog wip!!

It feels super goofy to still have to do chores, pay bills and send emails while <gestures at everything> is destroying my ability to focus and makes my job feel meaningless. But I always feel better after eating a high-protein meal, cleaning my home, and doing my laundry instead of doomscrolling.

One of my favorite artist’s most recent album was taken down by AI from Spotify(?) so, giving him some support on Bandcamp Friday would really do them a solid: scoutthewise.bandcamp.com

Handprinted Boris prints will be available at Phx zine fest! I’m PandaKong Art and I’ll be vending at Rocket Space Gallery in Tempe on October 25th!

Believe it or not, anyone can have a disabled child. It is not a personal failing. It is not a thing people bring on themselves. Disability is normal part of being human. Society could do a better job of accepting this & set up communities in a way that acknowledges this fact of life.

Audre told us.

Specialists have a new phrase for autistic children too exhausted to attempt school. "Emotionally based school avoidance". Well, no. Forcing exhausted children to endure yet more pain, overwhelm, bullying and bewilderment, in a system 100% not designed for them, isn't an 'emotional' failure, is it.

The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

Make no mistake: instead of using an event like this to even remotely suggest gun control, compromised media intends to paint trans ideology as the “cause” so that gun laws can be used to restrict access ONLY to minority groups. It’s a complete rewriting of the narrative to suit Conservative aims.

Literally every detail released about the person who shot Charlie Kirk so far further reveals them to be member of an alt-right group that didn’t see Kirk sd being fascist ***ENOUGH*** for their idea of true conservatism. The WSJ article about “trans arrows” is meant to pivot the causes for blame.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024. It reveals that vaccinations didn’t JUST protect against illness. They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.

Today I learned that @sonicmega.bsky.social voices both of these characters and I am STUNNED at his range. I have such different emotional relationships to these characters and NEVER would have guessed it was the same actor. Bravo!

One of my new pieces that I’ll be making into a bookmark! Added some stars and flowers to this post just for fun! #birdart #nature #heron #kidlitart #bookmarkart #traditionalart

A NEW ATLAS AND THE STARS CLIP IS OUT! And it looks like Atlas and Atmosphere have found a new friend 🥺 youtu.be/2WHVoY9Seqk?...

To scream free Palestine is to scream to give ALL native land back. This includes THIS LAND. it IS about race. It’s ALWAYS about race in a white-centered society. The more you stray from their “perfect” idea of a person, the more they won’t fucking look for you when you go missing. Or get lost.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

On the subject of tangents. The tutorial featured above is a ridiculous example, it's merely stylistic changes, it is not at all what we are talking about when we talk about avoiding tangents. HERE are examples of the kinds of tangents we ARE talking about:
