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

October 13th. #HelpFolksLive2025 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

Please share ❤️‍🩹 We mustn’t switch off when our duty to Palestinian life continues—so long as there is one person hungry, homeless, without medical care; so long as the border walls stand.

One link, six families, daily needs of food & shelter.

"Hunters Return," oil on linen by Melwell, 16x20 – Call Parsons Gallery of the West at +1-575-737-9200

A colorful, stylized Southwestern landscape painting shows a sunny autumn day beneath a bright blue sky. In the left foreground, two people stand near an adobe house and a traditional outdoor horno oven, with baskets and bread nearby. Yellow-leaved trees line a dirt path where several small figures walk alongside three dogs. In the distance, golden fields stretch toward foothills and a purple-blue mountain. A single bird glides across the sky, and two small white houses with green doors nestle among green trees dotted with red fruit. The overall mood is peaceful and communal, evoking life in a rural New Mexico village.

"Buck's Cornfield in the Moonlight," oil on linen panel by Melwell, 16x20 – Call Parsons Gallery of the West at +1-575-737-9200
1m

An expressive oil painting depicting a moonlit view of Taos Valley. The scene shows a glowing full moon in a lavender-purple sky above dark, textured mountains painted in thick strokes. Below, a golden band of light suggests the illuminated town stretching across the horizon, contrasting with the deep, impasto layers of dark earth tones in the foreground. The overall effect captures the luminous quiet of night and the rhythmic geometry of mountain silhouettes beneath the moon.

"Fields of Gold," oil on panel by Melwell, 8x10 – Call Parsons Gallery of the West at +1-575-737-9200

An expressive oil painting shows a bright, cloud-filled landscape beneath a clear blue sky. In the foreground on the left, two slender white tree trunks rise beside a cluster of golden-yellow foliage, their edges outlined in dark strokes. The middle ground opens into a wide, flat plain of muted greens and ochres, leading toward the horizon where a large, soft white cloud billows gently across the sky. The artist’s signature, “MELWELL,” appears near the lower right. The painting conveys a sense of open space, warmth, and light typical of a sunny day in the high desert.

"Church on La Loma," oil on panel by Melwell, 9x12 – Call Parsons Gallery of the West at +1-575-737-9200

A vivid oil painting of a church viewed from a low angle, emphasizing its bright red and golden-orange façade against a dramatic blue sky. The church’s roofline tilts upward toward a small steeple topped with a cross, outlined in deep blue. Bold, expressive brushstrokes define white clouds edged with black shadows, giving the sky a sense of energy and movement. The artist’s signature, “Melwell,” appears on the red wall in the lower right. The overall composition feels modern and graphic, with strong color contrasts and dynamic geometry.

Losing hope that I'll be able to keep my home. Not sure I can raise the full $875 this month for rent. I'm scared of being on the streets again. Last time, I had to rely on an abusive man to protect me. Please help me not go back there. tamilove21 on Cash App, Venmo, and Paypal.

Like I said, coming back from homelessness = long & expensive process b/c you're stabilizing not only your housing but the things that allow you to have & keep the housing, e.g. transportation to get to & from the job(s) that pays for said housing.

My thing: $330 for rides this week--pls help!

Time once again for my favorite card from @hillcrestcardco.bsky.social

The most gorgeous card, with a colorful cornucopia of fruits and vegetables, reads “Fuck Columbus” in a painted typeface reminiscent of sails. Happy Indigenous People’s Day and Happy Thanksgiving to Canadian pals. 🦃

A drawing of Dreamcatcher, a grey and white wolf with markings that resemble rainbow paint, feathers, and small stars. She has a deep-blue glass eye that reflects the colours of the area around her. Her other eye is purple. Her large tail is decorated with five white feathers, marked with rainbow splatters. She is floating through a dreamstate, meeting up with Shiny, a small golden alien star whose body is an upside down star shape with four paws and a long thin tail, tipped with a small star. The sky around them is bright blue and coated with golden star shapes. A large rainbow splits through the middle of the sky. The border of the drawing is decorated with blue, yellow, and golden stars.

It's sad when you see them using trash instead of shells, but I think this guy saw something relatable in the packaging.
