So sorry this is happening to you. Definitely been there with WW copying my work (I blazed a trail, my type of art didn’t really exist when I started). It’s infuriating at times ans traumatic (to me). Hopefully people will continue to recognize your originality and support you $

Folks if you usually do end-of-year/holiday charity giving, consider moving it up to the beginning of November instead and hit up however many local food pantries you can afford to give to. (Check if you or a spouse/partner's employer does charity matching, too.)

In short, we do not know exactly what will happen with November SNAP benefits if the shutdown continues, but we do know there will not be enough money available to fully fund everyone's EBT card.

Also on the tail of the news of how a lot of SNAP/ EBT recipients will likely not have funds for November, unless the gov shutdown ends before then. So we may be literally starving while he builds a ballroom

The insulin patent was sold by Frederick Banting for $1.

The Canadian who discovered insulin everyone to be able to access life saving medication.

In the US it’s financially out of reach for many people.

California is changing that.

I hope other states follow suit.

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @qasimrashid.com · 7d

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

The Alaska Native village of Kipnuk was due to receive a $20M grant from the EPA that they were going to use for flood protection.

It was labelled “wasteful DEI spending” and canceled.

⭐Go into your account settings.
⭐Click the "Refine your recommendations" tab.
⭐Click the GenAI Interests subtab.
⭐TURN OFF EVERYTHING.

So far, my feed is *significantly* cleaner.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

If you can’t afford books but want to support your favourite authors - borrow and request from your library!!! We LOVE libraries and it’s a wonderful way to support both the author and the libraries who help so many kids have access to reading 🥹❤️ especially right now!

It fucks me up that most adults can't take art seriously as a medium for storytelling. Like it's considered a normal thing for adults to enjoy going to a museum and hanging a painting in their house but they draw the line at reading a graphic novel because "comics are for kids". That's insane.
