I look to this piece by Seth Tobocman and keep it to my heart when I need it

Illustrated print- Several upturned face look away from the top of the US capital building. Below, someone stands next to a body of water, pulling endangered people from drowning. The text reads “The government does not care. We, the people, must help each other!”

I've seen a few videos going around that are AI of alligators approaching babies 🐊👶 at front doors, or "giving back" babies to a front door of a house. 😐🤔 I'm more and more convinced the ppl using this tech want us to die. Even humorously trying to normalize alligator-child interactions ain't good.

A moody marker and pen sketch for a drizzly October night. Sometimes art is a way to let your brain take a shower from all the digital hyperconsumerism. Here's a cynical emo/goth girl. She will go into the common place journal later. Nom nom nom. #drawtober

Caption of handwriting over the pastel goth character's head reads "we told you that AI would steal your job, too. But you just laughed and said 'learn to code'." The word bubble she speaks into says "we tried warning you. But you said we were 'over reacting.' nobody listens to the artsy goth kids."

(Disclaimer: I know, so moody.. almost to the point of being emo.)

The feminine character leans forward from left to right with their eyes half narrowed, looking up and back to the left. She has shaggy white and gray, manga style shoulder length hair with a fringe, light blue-green eyes, and a dark gray and wine red sweater visible from the shoulders to bust with black stitches and hearts on it in a seemingly knitted grid pattern. The character's lips are pursed in a sullen and resigned, slightly cynical expression. Below the character is a light salmon-pink smudged border blending with the black edges of her sweater in horizontal streaks, and above the character is a deep maroon sharpie border arching across the top of the image with cloud like scalloped inner edges, containing them in a kind of berry colored bubble. A bit of neon yellow is added into the white space in the background.

It's also a very sacred herb 🌿 🌼 from South Africa that can help people with PTSD and dissociation/coming back into caring about their body, imo, so marketing it as a "libido enhancer" sounds so sleazy and gimmicky. 😩

🔪FeeLightning💅 @feelightning.bsky.social · 2d

People should know that Kanna and SSRIs don't mix, if you're already on a prescription serotonin medication.. but these "libido gummies" are just being packaged like candy at a store that teens frequent.

🔪FeeLightning💅 @feelightning.bsky.social · 2d

Also I was at the mall today with some folks and we saw that urban outfitters (didn't buy anything just browsed) was selling these "mojo libido gummies" with Kanna in them, at somewhat highish doses. (86mg supposedly per gummy) And uhh.. I don't think that is responsible.

At $0.80 a serving for pumpkin spiced bones, I think that's an alright deal.

🔪FeeLightning💅 @feelightning.bsky.social · 2d

🎃 I'm glad I waited to buy the pumpkin spice bone broth that was sitting in my cart today because they randomly discounted it by $30 more, plus my GET20 promo code, so it ended up being only about $25 after shipping and tax. (About $12.50 for 20 servings). ☺️ Not too bad at all! Hope it tastes okay?

Some more info! While I am lucky to have my top surgery cost covered, I am a low-income disabled person and a self-employed artist, and being off work over the holiday season will have a big financial impact.

Any donation, no matter how small, makes a difference!!

A screenshot of a Go Fund Me titled "Support Hank's Top Surgery Recovery." It shows a photo of me holding a black and white cat and smiling.

Hello loves!

My name is Hank, and I'm a queer disabled artist and non-binary person. Great news - I'm getting top surgery in November! Hurrah! However, while I am lucky to live in a place where my top surgery is covered by provincial health insurance, I am a low-income disabled person and could use some financial support during recovery.

As most of you know, I have been living with a brain injury since 2019. Over the past few years, I've been able to start up an art business, primarily selling at local markets. My surgery is scheduled for November 7, which means that I’ll be unable to work holiday markets or take on holiday commissions this year. My art business is a critical part of my income, and holiday markets typically provide me with crucial support for the first few months of winter.

Your support will help cover any additional costs related to surgery, as well as any post-recovery medical needs, like physiotherapy. Most importantly, it will ease the financial strain of being unable to work this holiday season and help make my recovery stress-free. There is significant financial burden associated with disability, and any support to reduce that during my recovery is beyond appreciated ❤

Thank you for reading and for your support - community care and mutual aid make the world go round!

P.S. Your support will also help me be able to pick up and cuddle my best buddy Loki (my wonderful partner's cat) quicker, which is a very important goal ❤

Dream:
Another cool airport dream with those planes that have a fast takeoff on a maglev kinda system. We were going somewhere like Asia and sandbar-like cities. There were concrete open terrace structures holding gardens in the harbor and rare orchids called like a "moonbud blossom" that was pink.

Resisting the urge to be completely unserious and make my October handle "pumpkin spiced boner pillz".

🔪FeeLightning💅 @feelightning.bsky.social · 5d

I found out that there's a company that makes pumpkin spice flavor bone broth mix, which sounds like it could in theory be kinda good.

But also, the phrase "pumpkin spiced bones" 🎃🦴 just sounds fucking hilarious.

😑 if you have an art school and you're listed on Google maps, don't use AI pictures of clay sculptures to advertise your classes??!? I feel like that should be a given. But nooOOOO... People just gotta be weird these days.

I think it's a combination of cities and the apartment building companies. They seem to not want to spend any money on extra comforts (shade/meadows for dogs to walk/pee on) that non-tenants could access. They see sharing any built amenities with the public as potential revenue lost to moochers.

Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.
