I've raised $0 so far today!

I've raised $0 so far today!
I’m exhausted. Burnout, brain fog, and now my insurance is falsely listed as inactive.
I’ve been without my diabetes medication for 2 weeks. This is not okay.
I just received $35, can anyone match?! Please spread this or give if you’re able. Mutual aid is survival.

In a world obsessed with machines making art, I’m choosing to make it myself. Pencil, paper, imagination, never ai. I’m learning hand-drawn animation , more soon

Hey y’all. I’m a survivor of decades of childhood trafficking, living with CPTSD. With the Epstein files dominating the news, coping has been brutal. I’m an artist, but right now I need mutual aid for meds + groceries.

I had millions of views on some viral posts. The moment I linked my crowdfund to survive, what shows up isn’t support, it’s a swarm of Nazis in my comments🫠

I’m logging off for the night, hoping to wake up closer to my $1,200 goal for the month(bills, meds, and groceries). If donating isn’t possible, please share. Every bit of support truly helps

That ‘can we go back to regular police brutality’ comment has me reeling. Because once you hear it, you realize that even when it’s not phrased that bluntly, that’s the underlying demand a lot of white people are making. I'm not going to pretend that is okay.

Genuine question: what are real tips for ICE encounters for someone like me? Child of a Nigerian immigrant, queer, visibly Muslim, with a “foreign” name. I don’t trust them to respect my rights or believe my papers. If they stop me, what do I do? Is getting a passport worth it?

This weather combined with public transit is so absurd. It shouldn't be such a high stakes vibe to go to the grocery store

When white death becomes the trigger for reform, the goal isn’t justice. It is restoring comfort and safety for white people.

To all you bigots that keep telling me to k** myself because, I survived my first attempt at 3 years old. Nothing you say could ever reach me. My will to live has been forged in bronze over multiple decades. Cope harder

I made a post about a week ago about having some of my art acquired for a private collection for the first time, and some folks made fun of it, saying they hoped it was a joke. Anyway, this is me doubling down. Here are the finished pieces I'm selling, I enjoyed creating them:

I have $110 in library fines in collections. I lost a few books a number of years back, and have never been able to pay for it. I may need to crowdfund to regain access to the public library🥴
This is a wild ADHD tax to be paying😭

This one has taken me all day and it's been rough to get the proportions similar, I'll be going back over it with a fountain pen and ink when the pencil drawing is done. Thus far, its a pencil drawing on 18x24inch multimedia paper

Take a look at this charcoal self portrait I started today. I started the underpainting for a large piece yesterday, but I can't do much more until my large easel arrives tomorrow. So, I'm drawing this in the meantime
