Tyre Nichol’s mother has set up a memorial fund to help pay for mental health services for his family and a memorial skate park in his name. If you cannot donate, please share.
Hello!! If you like my art, please consider supporting me!
Dealing with a super stressful financial situation irl so I opened up a few commission slots on my kofi. Any support would mean the universe to me!
It's been a little while since I've updated my account (I've been busy!!) but for reference all my art can be found directly under #spademimesart. Right now, I only have sketch comms open, as I am trying to push through previous bigger comms.
And if you don't want a drawing, you can also support me by donating there as well, or checking out my shop! I'm trying to raise some money to order new items so I would seriously appreciate anything at all!
Thank you!!!!

Hey folks! I'd just like to say that I'm not comfortable with folks under 18 following my blog!
I appreciate the support and all that but I do make a lot of adult themed stuff and do not want younger audiences exposed to it.
Finally after 10+ years I finally have a top surgery date! it’s kinda wild thinking i made this tumblr early on into my transition and now I am able to post this, weird and wild journey.
anything helps, sharing too
thank you for your time and your support!
COMMISSIONS - A THREAD
Hi! I'm saving up for a VERY expensive trip to meet my online friends in Munich. Some of them I've known for 3+ years! It's really important to me to save up as much as possible until the end of the year.
Commission for @luminescent-on-low :D Thank you for commissioning me ! I'm currently at £150 out of £350 raised to place an order for Belos plushies to get made :3 (this is the price for the deposit the manufacturer asked for to start production, not the full price to manufacture the plushies) DM me if you want to commission me ! Prices are £25 per character for sketches, £50 per character for colored/shaded Backgrounds are free if I re use one I've already done, if you want a custom one price depends on complexity !
Opening commissions!!! I’ll make a price range page if anyone is interested but rn I’m think 3-5$! Trying to save up for the gorillaz book “Rise Of The Ogre”!! :3
Hi my names tyler and i’m a black autistic trans guy with two cats attempting to escape an unsafe housing situation, my mother is verbally, financially, and physically abusive and has started making violent threats on my life as well as threats to make me homeless or harm my animals
It’s been so severe that im staying at my partners house currently to avoid her but I cannot stay here permanently and need secure housing so that my mother does not hurt me or my animals.
While I’m mostly looking for financial help to get an apartment if anyone knows people looking for roommates or with housing they can offer for rent in the areas around north philadelphia, lower bucks county PA, and burlington county NJ please feel free to reach out to me, id be able to afford up to 1k in rent and I am looking to move immediately, I have a secure job housing is the only issue.
If you could spread this i’d appreciate it greatly, my gofundme link has essentially all the same info so that can be spread alone if possible, I also have my links for venmo and paypal below if that’s easier to use, In addition I draw and can do kofi sketches for donations (examples of art here) I am incredibly desperate to move as none of my family members are offering adequate help regarding the situation so anything at all helps, thankyou for taking the time to read this
paypal + venmo + kofi
https://ko-fi.com/izzyartz Hey guys!! If you’d like to support me on Ko-Fi, anything helps!! You can also commission me or take part in monthly memberships there as well!!
Im selling Murdoc and 2D keychains up on Etsy!! I know i dont have a HUGE following here, but if you bought one it would mean the WORLD to me!! <333
Kickstarter now live for the Leucochloridium plush! I had this smaller prototype made already, but the final plush is going to be BIGGER and more realistically proportioned!
You can preorder a plush, an enamel pin, or a combo of both for the next 30 days. The plush will need a couple thousand dollars in factory costs alone, but if successful, there’ll be at least 100 of them made with some left over that I’ll put up on etsy by fall/winter!
I need 200 dollars by the 20th of this month, if anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it.
Here is my commission information if you would like to help me that way and my ko-fi if you would like to just donate money to me.
I’m off this semester so if you do commission me I will be able to get your commission done faster than I would have if I was in school.
Over a year in the making! If you are into Tabletop Gaming, consider backing!
So, while I've talked about this in other posts, I figured I may as well compile it in one post with this nifty propaganda poster (more on that later)
Long story short, they're bringing back KOSA/the Kids Online Safety Act in the US Senate, and they're going to mark it up next Thursday as of the time of this post (4/23/2023).
If you don’t know, long story short KOSA is a bill that’s ostensibly one of those “Protect the Children” bills, but what it’s actually going to do is more or less require you to scan your fucking face every time you want to go on a website; or give away similarly privacy-violating information like your drivers’ license or credit card info.
Either that or force them to censor anything that could even remotely be considered not “kid friendly.” Not to mention fundies are openly saying they’re gonna use this to hurt trans kids. Which is, uh, real fucking bad.
As per usual, I urge you to contact your congresscritters, and especially those on the Commerce Committee, who'll likely be the ones marking it up.
Those senators are:
Maria Cantwell, Washington, Chair
Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota
Brian Schatz, Hawaii
Ed Markey, Massachusetts
Gary Peters, Michigan
Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin
Tammy Duckworth, Illinois
Jon Tester, Montana
Kyrsten Sinema, Arizona
Jacky Rosen, Nevada
Ben Ray Luján, New Mexico
John Hickenlooper, Colorado
Raphael Warnock, Georgia
Peter Welch, Vermont
Ted Cruz, Texas, Ranking Member
John Thune, South Dakota
Roger Wicker, Mississippi
Deb Fischer, Nebraska
Jerry Moran, Kansas
Dan Sullivan, Alaska
Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee
Todd Young, Indiana
Ted Budd, North Carolina
Eric Schmitt, Missouri
J.D. Vance, Ohio
Shelley Moore Capito, West Virginia
Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming
Again, it doesn't work unless you do it en-masse, so make sure to call ASAP and tell them to kill this bill, and if they actually want a bill to allow/get sites to protect kids, the Federal Fair Access To Banking Act would be far better.
Also, this poster is officially, for the sake of spreading it, under a CC0 license. Feel free to spread it, remix it, add links to the bottom, edit it to be about the other bad internet bills they're pushing, use it as a meme format, do what you will but for gods' sake get the word out!
Also, shoutout to @o-hybridity for coming up with the slogan for the poster, couldn't have done it without 'em!
Art by ArtsKarely Two girls go into a Crises Recovery Center looking for answers and help. Is love the answer they’re looking for? Can love even help in the face of depression, anxiety and trauma? A story about depression, anxiety, trauma, that which leads to crises and how one recovers from it, the sort of advice I’ve learned over seven years of therapy to help with these issues and the ever pervasive question of “Can this actually help?” It is the first time I’ve thought maybe I could help people with a book but that wasn’t the intention. The intention as always with me was to give something personal and emotional. And there is probably not going to be a more personal work of mine than this. Not for a long while at least. So please, if you can, consider checking out Crises Girlfriends, available on anything with a web browser for $2.99 USD. Or less, sometimes much less, depending on where you live in the world. If instead you want a physical copy, you can get it for $11.00 USD or something close to that in other regions of the world. The back cover was also done by ArtsKarely and is a reference to something I did in the Crises Recovery Center when I went and also an event in the story where the girls pick out leaves to put positive reminders of their life onto. I’ve left them blank on the back cover so you can put down whatever will remind you of your own triumphs.
Thank you all and one final link as well as the number to the National US Crises Prevention Hotline. Please remember to reach out for help when you find yourself struggling. It’s never showing weakness or cowardice to seek help, not when what you face is always so terrifying. It only makes you all the braver for being willing to confront it as you must when seeking help. 1-800-273-8255
🫵 YOU.
I have a Ko-Fi now. I’m also doing commissions through there now so you can order through there!!
Hi- er, this is my first-ever writer's strike, how does one not cross a picket line in this context? I know how not to do it with things like Amazon and IRL strikes, but how does it apply to media/streaming?
Hi, this is a great question, because it allows me to write about the difference between honoring a picket line and a boycott. (This is reminding me of the labor history podcast project that's lain fallow in my drafts folder for some time now...) In its simplest formulation, the difference between a picket line and a boycott is that a picket line targets an employer at the point of production (which involves us as workers), whereas a boycott targets an employer at the point of consumption (which involves us as consumers).
So in the case of the WGA strike, this means that at any company that is being struck by the WGA - I've seen Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Disney, Warner Brothers Discovery, NBC, Paramount, and Sony mentioned, but there may be more (check the WGA website and social media for a comprehensive list) - you do not cross a picket line, whether physical or virtual. This means you do not take a meeting with them, even if its a pre-existing project, you do not take phone calls or texts or emails or Slacks from their executives, you do not pitch them on a spec script you've written, and most of all you do not answer any job application.
Because if this strike is like any strike since the dawn of time, you will see the employers put out ads for short-term contracts that will be very lucrative, generally above union scale - because what they're paying for in addition to your labor is you breaking the picket and damaging the strike - to anyone willing to scab against their fellow workers. GIven that one of the main issues of the WGA are the proliferation of short-term "mini rooms" whereby employers are hiring teams of writers to work overtime for a very short period, to the point where they can only really do the basics (a series outline, some "broken stories," and some scripts) and then have the showrunner redo everything on their lonesome, while not paying writers long-term pay and benefits, I would imagine we're going to see a lot of scab contracts being offered for these mini rooms.
But for most of us, unless we're actively working as writers in Hollywood, most that isn't going to be particularly relevant to our day-to-day working lives. If you're not a professional or aspiring Hollywood writer, the important thing to remember honoring the picket line doesn't mean the same thing as a boycott. WGA West hasn't called on anyone to stop going to the movies or watching tv/steeaming or to cancel their streaming subscriptions or anything like that. If and when that happens, WGA will go to some lengths to publicize that ask - and you should absolutely honor it if you can - so there will be little in the way of ambiguity as to what's going on.
That being said, one of the things that has happened in the past in other strikes is that well-intentioned people get it into their heads to essentially declare wildcat (i.e, unofficial and unsanctioned) boycotts. This kind of stuff comes from a good place, someone wanting to do more to support the case and wanting to avoid morally contaminating themselves by associating with a struck company, but it can have negative effects on the workers and their unions. Wildcat boycotts can harm workers by reducing back-end pay and benefits they get from shows if that stuff is tied to the show's performance, and wildcat boycotts can hurt unions by damaging negotiations with employers that may or may not be going on.
The important thing to remember with all of this is that the strike is about them, not us. Part of being a good ally is remembering to let the workers' voices be heard first and prioritizing being a good listener and following their lead, rather than prioritizing our feelings.
y'all heard about the WGA strike? here's how you can support us if you're not a member.
writers with the WGA have access to a strike fund that will help them out, but there are many other hollywood employees, assistants, and crew members who will need financial aid during the strike. you can donate to the entertainment community fund (tax deductible!) and help ease their burden. choose "film and television" in the drop-down menu under the gift designation.
if you can't donate, please at least boost and spread the word! and thank you to everyone who's been showing solidarity and asking how they can help us out, it's been overwhelming in the best sense of the word ♡

Hey, guys! I haven’t promoted in a while, but if you love what I do, both with IF and with my other works (e.g. my Youtube essays), it’d be awesome if you checked out my patreon! There’s a ton of cool incentives including concept art for IF and other projects, WIP music tracks and scratch tracks, scripts, story drafts, and updates on projects. Right now my goal is to reach $650/mo so that I have rent covered comfortably and can get more experimental with my video essays and take more time on them as well. That goal basically covers my rent, as right now I use a mixture of Youtube rev (Inconsistent) and patreon to cover that. Inverted Fate will always be free, so don’t worry. The patreon is for me as a creator, but if even just a fraction of my following pledged a dollar a month, I’d make that goal in a heartbeat.
High tiers can also request a monthly sketch if they want ($10) or a lineart of up two two characters if the designs aren’t too complex or a single if the design’s too detailed/complex ($15 tier). The lineart can also be subbed for a sprite.

Just wanted to say sorry for all the hate you're having to deal with because of one gifset 🙄 It's more than a little ridiculous at this point. Keep your head up and hang in there! Love the work you do to bring us posts about ancient Egypt!
Thank you. <3 I appreciate people's anger but I think they should aim it at Netflix, maybe make a petition? I can't do anything about it. If they want to send asks about what their thoughts are I will post it no problem, just don't direct it at me?

To our Plume community,
In response to the Missouri Attorney General’s emergency rule severely limiting access to gender-affirming medical care, we will provide gender-affirming hormone therapy at no cost before the rule goes into effect from April 24 to April 27.*
If you’re in Missouri and need immediate care, you can schedule your appointment here.
We are pulling together all available resources to help as many people as possible across the state, but we can’t do it alone. We’re calling on every clinician in the state who can join us in this effort, and applaud Planned Parenthood and other providers for expanding availability for gender-affirming care appointments up until April 27 as well. We’ll be actively promoting on our website any and all providers that are still accepting appointments, in case we can’t responsibly service everyone who needs it in time.
We understand how stressful this is for our Members, employees, and everyone in our community right now. Know that we’ll be doing everything in our power to help you through this.
[Learn more about what we’re doing in Missouri and how you can help.]
Please forward this email to anyone in your community who could be of assistance.
-The Plume Care Team
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at hello@getplume.co.
*Please note, any no-cost medical services we are providing ahead of the proposed Missouri AG’s proposed rule are in effect only from April 24, 2023 through April 26, 2023 at 11:00 PM CT.
