He was here on BlueSky, sharing pictures of the small farm he has started next to his family's tents there in Al Mawasi, but they have banned him yet again for what I'm sure are Very Serious Safety Related Reasons or something.

She takes 4 antihistamines including compounded ketotifen (expensive) in very high doses to keep her skin from peeling off & to keep limited food down. "I dont have access to health insurance, even though that is mandatory where I was born.Because people with Lyme and ME/CFS are routinely denied healthcare, persecuted, and jailed in psychiatric hospitals. That is why I became a traveler/refugee. That is why my mom, who still lives there, is deep in debt. Because there was never gov. support or funding for me, not even welfare."

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.

Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.
naniiebim.bsky.social Naniiebim @naniiebim.bsky.social · 7d
I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

This is the best thread on Henry "Box" Brown that I have seen on here. I was just reading a poem dedicated to him by poet Alison C. Rollins in her book "Black Bell".

Brown used the Adams Express Company (now Adams Funds) and paid the equivalent of $86 ($3,250 today) to mail himself to freedom.

Look, full offense, but claiming that you can't find a disabled adult character sexually attractive *solely* because you view them as a child, that is ableism.

You can be attracted or unattracted to whoever you want, but viewing disabled adults as children when we're not? Is ableist.

Hey! I'm Falco! (He/him, xey/xem) I'm a queer, Autistic heart patient struggling to stay housed. My disabilities mean I need careful hygiene to eat or sleep, so if I lose my room I cannot survive! Hotel's summer rate is currently $700/week, and I owe about $250 monthly for storage and phone. I'd be honored if you would sponsor me on Patreon for $3 - $20 per month, for sneak peeks at new art, requests, and exclusive coloring mandalas. Or you can snag fun merch at FalcoSkyWolf.Redbubble.com! Over 200 of my designs on dozens of garments, accessories, and home and tech items. Undercover Dragons, Pride art, and a wide mix of mandalas! But the fastest way to help is donating through PayPal or CashApp, and I also take commissions for mandalas and text art. DM if you'd like custom designs! Please help if you can! (Background- extremely dark purple, with some simplified coins on top and pale blue feathers on bottom.) I'm a very pale transmasc with long brown hair, part in a braid over my right shoulder, the rest loose down my left. I'm in a black winter sleeveless vest and a black fedora with an orange flicker feather, with thin blue spectacles, a blue and purple heavy-duty respirator, a silver ankh necklace, a dog-tag style necklace with Captain America's shield, and a black chain bracelet with a metal TARDIS (resembles a British phone-booth-like police call box) and a safety pin that has rainbow and trans pride beads on it. Behind me is a fuzzy blue blanket.

17) Someone You Can Build a Nest In - John Wiswell

Y'all. This book is SO. FVKKING. GOOD. The eldritch monster Shesheshen falls in love with Homily, a noble-born nature researcher, and what better way to show your love than to (consensually) lay your eggs in them? Except...no 😍
A book cover. A silhouette of a looming, grinning witch-like shape sprouts four tentacles against a bright red background. The face silhouette reveals yellow, sharp teeth and yellow, glowing eyes. The tentacles have yellow suckers. The black point of the witch hat pierces a yellow moon. A plump human woman drawn in shades of orange and red stands in front of the witch-tentacle monster, holding a lantern and surrounded by four red-and-orange tentacles. A gray chain crosses each corner of the book. Black silhouettes of books, hearts, and spiders drift down against the red on either side of the monster. Red hearts, bones, and a bear trap stand out against the bottom of the monster's silhouette. Bold white text reads, "Someone You Can Build a Nest In". Smaller yellow text reads, "John Wiswell".
