Is a 22 day early "birthday favor" too soon?

A "If I've done anything you appreciate pls repost/boost/give to anyone's mutual aid/emergency commission posts"?

My basic needs are met, but I'm not in position to help more than repost/boost so giving to those in need is like a birthday gift for me

Akram’s family was traumatically displaced from the north—and now, they desperately need to return. They’re in a thin tent in the rain.

On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay it's incredible to think of the epic journeys the #birds make twice a year.

UK #birders, seen a #redwing yet?

Here's my first humble contribution to @rachelillustrates.bsky.social alternative prompt list for #orctober 2025. I was particularly inspired by day 11's "Look" prompt. This drawing mean so much to me!
#noai #drawingchallenge #fantasyart #orc #orctober2025

A pencil drawing by Autumn Dreamleaf, dated to October 2025. It features an orc looking in a mirror while crying. The orc as a light green skin and big blue eyes with a black sclera, contrasting with their red flannel worn over a black shirt. They also have long and wavy brown hair and dark green freckles. Above their reflection are three eyes looking down. The background is purple and seem to have been in done roughly.

A prompt list declaring itself for the month of Orctober, crowned with an illustration of a feminine-presenting orc and a butterfly. Text beside them reads “# Orctober 2025 alternative prompt list,” with daily prompts in three columns below, and a queer and trans inclusive message over a banner of the Progress Pride Flag at the very bottom of the image.

A colored traditional drawing, by the artists known as AëdellDreamleaf, dated to september 2025. It depicts a bipedal creature, which looks like a mix between a fox, an elf and a deer. Its has red fur with white spots and markings, a long fluffy tail, long auburn hair, blue eyes, long pointy ears and snout and antlers.
It's smiling slightly while looking down at the maple leaf they're holding with one of their hand/paw. It surrounded by trees in the middle of a forest lighted with a sunset light, including a maple on the right corner and several birch-like trees with actual eyes.

A colour version of the ink drawing I posted the other day. In my mind this is the deep woods version of a drive through Starbucks - knock on the shutters to buy your potions and charms.

#deepintgewoods #artpost #art #illustration

An illustration of a wall and old wooden shutters covered by ivy. The line art was drawn with pen and ink, the colour added by hand digitally. The shutters are a faded red colour.

After Oct. 7, I started reading about the Palestinian situation. I kept wondering where the LGBTQ Arab voices were. Finding little, I set out on a project to bring these neglected voices to light. I used my money and hours of my time, but this has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.

“Upper Forest Canyon from Trail Ridge, RMNP, CO” - 24” x 36” acrylic on canvas. SOLD, Pvt. collection. Commissioned piece; patron wanted a CO mountain vista in a more-realistic style. Photo’s lousy, but the paint is really thick. #Painting #Art #NationalParks #LandscapePainting #Mountains #Colorado

Foreground slope strewn with lichen-covered boulders and small tundra flowers; forested canyon with low-lying clouds in the mid-distance. Snow-dotted peaks along the Continental Divide from a skyline beneath partly cloudy skies.

“Rabbitbrush & Emigrant Peak, Park County, MT,” 18” x 24” acrylic on canvas. In MT for my sister’s wedding a couple years ago, her friends took me to a full-on Western movie-set they’d built. This is the view east (+1 of the set).
#Painting #Art #WesternArt #LandscapePainting #Mountains #Montana

Rabbitbrush (a type of high-elevation sage native to the western US—known as chamiso in New Mexico) turns brilliant yellow in autumn. A large clump in the foreground contrasts with reddish grasses and the deep blue of 10,926’ Emigrant Peak on the skyline.

Western movie-set near Emigrant, MT, with a steepled-wooden church and other false-fronted buildings at the foot of the Absaroka Range. Although 10,926’ Emigrant Peak dominates the skyline, it was hazy and pale due to forest fires burning in Idaho at that time (September 2022).

“Gardner Lake on the Beartooth Plateau, Park Co., WY,” 10” x 10” acrylic/canvas. Rainy days at high elevation (10,000’ in this case) can make for tough driving/hiking, but they’re often great for painting.
#Painting #Art #WesternArt #TraditionalArt #LandscapePainting #Mountains #Wyoming #Yellowstone

Boulders, brush, and grasses surround Gardner Lake, steel blue beneath rainy autumn skies. Gardner Lake is south of the scenic Beartooth Highway, a seasonal, high-alpine route between Red Lodge and Cooke City, MT, and just northeast of Yellowstone Nat’l Park.

I've been struggling to write an update about Ahmed the last few days

Truly, I don't know how he and his family are, besides alive. He hasn't talked about it.

But especially after the tent expense, they are absolutely in need for food funds.

I hope we can respect both these things. Help them eat.
