This helps nobody right now and if you see it please call it out.
Folks, please don't do this. Don't post AI-generated "unmasking" photos of the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good in Minneapolis.
This is not this man's real face. This is three completely different faces. You're not helping anyone by sharing these. You're just muddying the waters.

I'm opening up commissions to cover a really big emergency vet bill for my cat Ness. I'm doing single characters on simple bgs for $85 USD. Extra characters or bg props will be $45 extra.

I’ll say this for George W. Bush: he’s an unindicted war criminal who should spend the rest of his life in prison and if he and his co-conspirators had been made to face consequences, Trump never would have happened.
Yeah it’s nice to see someone from The Bush Institute speaking up for Ukraine.. might’ve been even better if it was almost 4 years ago.. but I guess we take this

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help.
I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

you are loved
you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)
