Voting ASAP! The last 2 times we voted by mail a few days before Election Day, our ballots were not received in time. Not taking chances this time. I saw a neighboring county say mailing even 1 week ahead was not enough time for USPS these days.

MY MEDICAL DEBT STORY BY TATIANA GILL I GOT SOBER IN 2009. THE STRESS MADE MY BAD ECZEMA FLARE TO A FULL-BODIED BLOODBATH, INCLUDING MY HAIR FALLING OUT. MY INSURANCE COVERED UVB TREATMENT. I WENT A FEW TIMES A WEEK AND IT HELPED A LOT. A FEW WEEKS INTO MY TREATMENT, MY EMPLOYER CHANGED INSURANCE POLICIES. I ASSUMED IT WAS COMPARABLE. A FEW MONTHS LATER I REALIZED MY TREATMENTS WEREN'T BEING COVERED. MY BILL WAS FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I WAS LAID OFF FROM MY JOB. THE MENTAL ILLNESS / HAD IN THE WAKE OF SOBRIETY WAS OVERWHELMING. THE BILL REMINDERS PILED UP. WHEN I DIDN'T PAY UP, THE MEDICAL CENTER SOLD MY BILL TO A DEBT COLLECTION AGENCY, THEY SENT ME A LETTER SAYING THEY WERE TAKING ME TO COURT. TERRIFIED, I SET UP A PAYMENT PLAN FOR SANALL MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS - MOSTLY PAYING INTEREST. I WAS PERPETUALLY UNDEREMPLOYED WITH NO CREDIT. I WAS IN A CONSTANT STATE OF PANIC OVER SEVERAL THINGS INCLUDING THIS DEBT. I REACHED A CRISIS POINT INCLUDING SUICIDAL IDEATION. MY BOYFRIEND HELPED ME PAY OFF THE DEBT. OTHERWISE I MIGHT STILL BE PAYING IT. THE DAY IT WAS PAID OFF, IT FELT LIKE WEIGHTS HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT OF MY SHOES! IN RECENT YEARS, IVE LEARNED THAT MEDICAL PROVIDERS SELL DEBTS LIKE MINE TO COLLECTION AGENCIES FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR! THAT WHOLE ORDEAL DIDN'T EVEN SUPPORT THE CLINIC THAT HEALED ME! FROM UNDUEMEDICAL DEBT. ORG: OVER 100 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S. ARE STRUGGLING WITH MEDICAL DEBT, OWING AT LEAST $200 BILLION COLLECTIVELY. NEARLY 1/2 OF U.S. ADULTS STRUGGLE TO AFFORD HEALTHCARE COSTS.

Protest sign reading: Antifa is not a gang! If you are against (anti) fascism (fa), then welcome comrade, to Antifa. There's also a little cartoon Hitler guy getting punched out with swastika eyes and a grinning sunshine with sunglasses and a Molotov and a Palestine flag.

I painted this protest sign earlier this summer hoping to spread an important message.

I like to draw comics both about folklore and weird fairy tales, but also kids in contemporary situations dealing with frustrating adults.

HEX ICE! And happy #inktober!

Today years old when I realized Garak is freaky Hellraiser daddy 😲

I’m so sorry and I know the feeling. I find solace in these sweet affirmation drawings bsky.app/profile/thel...

LGTBQ+ youth disproportionately experience homelessness compared to their straight and cis peers. In the US, up to 40% of unhoused youth identify as LGBTQ+.

That’s why this series was created - to provide support, essential tips, and resources to youth who are so often overlooked by the system.

My comic in the latest issue of @realchangenews.bsky.social. Be well my friends ❤️‍🔥

(She actually makes very cool art by doing that, like covering a rock in a bead mosaic. But it just sounded funny.)

Mom: Are you doing any art?
Me: No, I’ve been drained and uninspired.
Mom: Have you tried gluing things onto other things?

Aha I may have also complained for 20 minutes straight

My neighbor had been growing “Teddy Bear” sunflowers and they are so dang cool.
I don’t love the texture colored pencils give me. Then I discovered there are colored pencil colorless blenders, and tried that for this drawing. I like the result much better!

My comic in this week’s @realchangenews.bsky.social! As someone with asthma I’m really affected by wildfire smoke and high AQIs. All the advice for staying safer in the smoke centers around “stay indoors” - but there are so many people who don’t have that option.

Really feeling like the 19th wheel at this trucker sex party.

Agree! Young me did not know happiness or peace. Addiction, people pleasing, unmanaged anger, low self esteem, mental health issues…took me til late 40s to get everything ironed out so I could regularly enjoy myself.
