Wdym I'm trying to career pivot to more backend stuff as opposed to public facing in 2026.

Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland? Could the government pay salaries to musicians and artists - no strings attached like they do in Ireland?

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."

Things COVID has proven:

1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely.

2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to.

3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury.

4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

A six panel comic. In panel 1, a yellow warbler says "Hey, so I'm going to go out on a limb here". For the next four panels, it hops down along a branch. In the last panel, at the end of the branch, it sings a little song. I'm sorry.

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

I had my first mean patron interaction in a while, all because I made copies of a coloring book straight from the book, and she didn't like how they looked πŸ™ƒ like ??? Make them yourself then?

She wasn't even here, her mom did it for her and thought they were fine.
