Doodle of meh saying "please reshare, I need any help possible" There is Ko-Fi goal screened - 49% of 1000$ goal: My old tablet (Wacom Cintiq 13HD) is breaking badly after 10 years of constant usage and I desperately need replacement to be able to work. Due to my worsening back problems I need to get myself bigger alternative (I think about 24 inches screen display) that would lessen the strain on my back and wrist. Drawing is my only source of income so any donations are highly appreciated and will be used to purchase new tablet to continue my creative work!

🚨 HELP STILL NEEDED! 🚨

I'm at 49% of the goal. Please reshare!
My old tablet is breaking and stops working while art is my only way of income. I need help with gathering funds to purchase new one.

Thank you for any of your time.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.

If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

a screenshot from Animal Crossing New Horizons, where two characters (a red otter with a white beanie, and the player wearing a striped bathing suit and brown cowboy hat) float in blue water. a white and red chat bubble reads, in blue lettering “Pascal: Talented folks are just normal folks who practice something more than other folks, maaan.”

that’s what I’ve been saaaayying maaan

Doodle of my sona Meh pointing at repost/reblog button with their finger. There is "this one is important" written near them.

It's so discouraging to post art when you see how fucked up the ratio of like to repost is. Just please, do the second click, it's literally few seconds and does so much more for struggling artists.

Federal jury awards $112M to immigrants detained by Suffolk for ICE A federal jury found the county and the Sheriff's Office violated the Constitutional rights of 674 people.

Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE

Allergies coming out of left field to introduce a whole new kind of anxiety that my meds do nothing for (body thinks I’m dying cause I’m too congested???)

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’ Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons.

"ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids"

I feel like this also needs to be talked about while Russia is still bombing Ukraine

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM.

DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.

Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this.

Stay safe!

Holy shit McCarthyism

Miss Universe contestants walk out after organiser berates Miss Mexico Video of the incident, which was live streamed, has been shared widely on the internet.

This is the kind of solidarity that makes things happen. Small example that can work to scale.

This man disrespected one woman and all the women said NOPE and hit the door.

Thank you!!!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.

There are no words for how evil this is

Very gently: I've not had much movement on this at all and shares have dwindled. Please consider sharing or donating if you're able. It is the holiday season and I am DEEPLY afraid of losing my apartment and everything I have. I don't have anything to fall back on.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
