Ramadan for non-Muslims: An etiquette guide

During Ramadan, when your Muslim friends are fasting, is there anything you should be doing? You can follow these tips

Read this & be mindful of those partaking in Ramadan. 

My body is in so much pain. I don’t want to anymore. What do I do. The only reason I haven’t killed myself is because I pray my body will get better but it’s just so painful. I want anyone who cares about me or whatever to sort of just deal with it if I die. I have a treatment planned for late November. I hope it is successful, but I told myself I refuse to enter 2019 feeling this way. So no matter how successful my clothing or comics become, my happiness is my priority. I can’t keep feeling like a slave to my body. I just don’t want to anymore. I can’t think of type properly ‘cause I’m high as shit and falling in and out of sleep. I gotta design my banner for AnimeNYC though. Gotta get up :) lol I don’t even want to go go NYC anymore. My birthday is in a few days and I’m too sick to even enjoy some sake or any alcohol to celebrate 21. Life is pure shit right now. I made $600 in the first 3 days selling my art and lol I just don’t feel better. People, really, there’s something so wrong with my body. It hurts so much. I can’t do this anymore. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpvW0mvgBPH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r0esmc7w1b9a

A new 3-song EP as well!

You may have seen a fundraiser going around looking to hire a lobbyist to go to DC and lobby against AI art - it's been boosted by pretty big names, after all.

This fundraiser is explicitly allying with groups like uhhh Disney, Universal, and the RIAA - and the person who's running it is a crypto nerd who's a big fan of NFTs.

I'm not going to be the one to pretend that AI and AI art has no problems - that's why I started a group for ethical AI use, after all. But I think if there's gonna be an opposition to AI you can probably do better than laying your lucre at the table of some of the most litigous, anti-fandom corporations in existence? If you're interested in getting Metallica 2.0: No Fanart Allowed Boogaloo, this is where it's going.

(And this isn't even getting into the problems with the fundraiser itself, which seems to be built like 90% on misinfo and outright lies about how AI works)
