Lil Nas X deserves more shows of solidarity and support from the LGBTQ+ community.
Lil Nas is a Gay man facing an unjust arrest and imprisonment over a mental health crisis.
Gay men are unfairly targeting lately, and Black Gay men are targeted by racist policing and homophobia.
Nas deserves support!

Opinion: Mental illness in Black people is criminalized, and Lil Nas X being thrown to the ground and arrested is no laughing matter, Mey Rude writes.

Forget the 'stunts'—what happened to Lil Nas X is terrifying

if you havent made any calls, or shipped any letters or sent any emails yet, and you feel like its "too late":

dont. its not too late. now is literally a perfect time to start joining in and contacting legislators and paypros in whatever way works best for you.

its a marathon, not a race!

for those of you that have somehow made it this long without ever calling: you literally just have to list the bills. you don't have to give a reason. if you get a person, they won't ask you why. if you get a voicemail, just say your address at the beginning. it took me less than 5 minutes to call 3

I feel like it can't be understated how impactful even a relatively small percentage of people's audience supporting them can be.

Like, if 5% of the people who love the work an artist does subbed to them on Patreon, that would probably be close to a livable wage for most of them.

✨ HOW TO support artists for a lil money ✨

- ko-fi tip jar - buy a coffee!
- patreon - a lot of artists have $1-5 tier ranges!
- become a twitch sub (payout min)
- sticker shops can have a lower price point!

a couple bucks can go a LONG way for artists! u don't have to drop hundreds to support ✨💫

These are spreads for McCall's magazine by Andy Virgil, 1959. Each spread was paying about $1,500 at that time. Today that would be between $9,000-$12,000. The average price of a brand new car in 1959 was $2,200.

It's been 30 years of A Goofy Movie, and 31 years since we briefly lived in Paris while my dad worked on it! Truly one of the coolest things as a kid, to hang out at the studio or watch pencil tests over dinner.♥️

Also eternally grateful to mom for secreting away a bunch of original model sheets:

the formula is: you raise it over time until someone goes "there's nooo way you think this is worth (amount) 💀" and then you lock the price in at $15 higher than that
