I need to step away from Bsky again today. Gonna make myself log out so I can focus on workwork and not have a panic attack from the news and everything else.

Please, protect one another and support one another.

Protect trans people and everyone else the GOP continues to target.

Stay safe, y'all!

Either way, people actually use pennies and many small businesses have had trouble getting change now because of Trump ceasing their minting.

People do not use $1 coins.

Guys at the gunshow couldn't even give away their Trumpy gold clad coins last time I went. No one wanted them!

Possible that he knows his health's declining rapidly & doesn't expect to be alive in 2026.

It's also possible he doesn't care about any laws since he's shown he doesn't care about any laws or anything but himself and more money.

He obviously does like to hurt people too.

I hate this timeline.

Pennies were too expensive to make but Trump wants to make $1 coins of himself despite not qualifying to be on a coin because only deceased people can be on US coins.

I hate this timeline.

Treasury Department considers minting a $1 Trump coin www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Treasury Department considers minting a $1 Trump coin

The draft design of the coin, which was overseen by the Office of the U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach, features Trump’s profile on one side of the coin.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

I'm the freak that enfleshens a perfectly good skeleton man!

Two panels. The top panel features a giant skeleton knight, Thunderskull, wearing a long sleeve shirt made of loose dark fabric as well as fingerless gloves, and armor. He has a skull head with a pair of short pointed horns emerging from the top of his cranium. Flames burn from his empty eye sockets. His left hand is in the air, crushing a solo style cup full of beer very messily. Page Simmons laughs in the foreground.
Second Panel: A shorter figure wearing the same armor is collapsed on the floor clutching a visibly shattered arm and hand. he is a young Latino man in his twenties, with brown skin and fluffy dark hair. He is also horrified. Page squats down next to Thunderskull while pointing at his injured arm. The solo style cup i son the floor as is a mess of liquid from the beer. In the background of this panel sits a dresser with a retro sound system on it. A signature reads "Sarah 'Neila' Elkins 2023"

Apologies for this post, but I've more or less hit rock bottom. I am emotionally exhausted and burnt out. I've not drawn for weeks and by now it does not feel like an easy fix. If you have any desire to support me, it'd mean more than ever as I physically can't work atm.

Gonna take my migraine meds because yeah this is a migraine after all.

Then I'm gonna stay away from social media the rest of the day and hopefully write.

That or I'll cry some more. Been doing that a lot today. It's hard not to feel hopeless right now. Maybe I can distract myself with writing?
