Hello Bsky, I am an illustrator that really loves drawing animals, food and also showing off my love for books and games.

I hope I get to have a nice experience here and keep up with everyone's awesome work!

I like how I kept hearing the "oh when you grow older you'll become more conservative" and yet the older I grow the more left I go. I am yet to find the healthy, logical conservative thinking everyone kept yapping about.

Unless you dont give a shit about people of course.

Another example of a UBI adjacent experiment working for the benefit of all people. Imagine what would happen if straight up UBI happened… universally.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Something from the ol' comfort zone for the beginning of autumn

The flotilla has been a lot in my thoughts so I was moved to do a more of a vocal illustration. Among the brave souls are some of my country men and women, I feel proud of their courage and helpless to their imprisonment. I hope all activists are released soon and that the genocide comes to an end.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+
