Sadly someone took the cane recently RIP.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 15h

A dilemma: do I borrow a mobility cane that someone donated to my local queer community centre and has been sitting there for months?

I haven't been able to get a personal one yet and I would like something for my trip but I also don't want to take it and then someone else need it more.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 14h

Thank you, I appreciate the support! And I will return it once I get a personal one, I just hate helping myself I guess haha

Going live in about 15min! Probably more art today, though I could be persuaded to play something.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 21h

My aim is to describe essentially the purpose of the image as my first priority and then extra details if I have time/energy. For art I try to write more descriptions because there's not always the same kind of sense of 'purpose' for a drawing in contrast with something like an info graphic.

It also gets easier over time, I've found!

1 FULL EFFEN MONTH W/O THEIR MEDS - $70 TO GO URGENT!

Their functionality is rapidly diminishing the longer they go w/o their anxiety/depression meds. 7 ppl $10 each - any combo ppl x $$ = $70 - does it.

Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2025

Day 30: STALLED @ $25/$95. A MONTH LATE. My meds ($95) are NEEDED. I haven't had them in too long. My anxiety & depression are the worst it has been in a while. I am struggling but getting nowhere.

Hey y'all!

Reminder that I have Halloween emotes available on my Ko-fi! They are free to download but if you'd like to help support my art and content you can leave a tip on my page ♥️

These aren't animated but some do work well with the Twitch animation tools.

🔗⬇️

A graphic titled "Free Twitch Emotes", with smaller text below the title that reads "28x28, 56x56, 112x112". The graphic contains seven different emote examples. The first one is a waving black cat with green eyes, text that reads "toxic" in alternating orange and purple letters with green goo oozing off of it, and a cute happy looking ghost. The next line of emotes below that is a happy looking jack 'o lantern, a cartoon grim reaper looking confused and saying "huh?", a spiderweb in the shape of a heart, and a black widow crawling over red text that says "hype".

It is Tuesday, which I am now aware. I am also now aware that I forgot to say that I won't be streaming today! We're getting a new water heater put in and have some work around the house to do. I will hopefully be on tomorrow!

Wouldn't it be cool if someone adapted Frankenstein with an entire cast of trans actors?

Oh hey, we're doing that! But we need your help to fund it!

"But Lore, why not take a cab?"

Transit costs a fraction. It also is surprisingly less stressful for me.

Besides, rapid transit helps many folks besides me. So maybe every city ought to get on that.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 3d

Rapid transit takes a lot of time and money to build and will of course make things for drivers inconvenient for the duration but honestly it should not take the better part of my day and most of my spoons to go to one very chill appointment.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 3d

Idk how but getting across the city, having a 10 min appointment, and getting home takes over 3 hours. I'm...very tired.

Lore @lorecurator.bsky.social · 3d

Oh you know it's both somehow

I'm getting a lot of visibility but very few to no sales.

Again, I don't profit off the tariffs. It goes to the US government.

Tens of thousands of protesters in Amsterdam are unified today in their call to stop supporting Israel’s genocidal destruction of Gaza.

I always try to keep scale in mind with political action. This is about 3% of Italy's population. A U.S. equivalent would be ~10 million people.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · 6d

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.
