Found this cool typewriter on a walk today
The keyboard half of a laptop, with the screen section mostly torn off. The hinges and part of the sides of the screen frame are still attached. The mangled remains are on top of a wooden picnic table.

I know this is a long shot, but I implore anyone to tell me where I can get this bumper sticker.
I was obsessed with Stephen King as a young reader, my real first name is Stephen, and I hate Trump.
My whole life path has been leading up to owning this
Any leads would be amazing
A Reddit post by user Reggie_Phalange titled "I think I need to get one of these" The picture is of the back right corner of a red vehicle with a blue bumper sticker that says in white block text "NO KINGS BUT STEPHEN"

For some reason had a picture in my mind I had to express, so here's Ruby chastising smug Max for having treats (eating batteries)
Ruby the Rabbit is wearing a puffy sleeved dress with small crosses on it. She is looking at Max, who is wearing overalls. Ruby says "Max did you eat batteries again?" Max has a smug/mischievious smile on his face says "....nooooo" In his overall pocket, we can see bulges of battieries.

Uh, this is a little bleaker than my normal doodles, but feels right #art
A scientist in a lab coat is sitting on the ground with their head down on their arms. A cardboard sign reads "Will do analytics for food / Anything Helps/ Science Bless" with a scientifically accurate heart. A graduated beaker lies nearby with some change in it.

-Takes jobs away from real artists
-Looks bad
-Angers significant part of customer base
Is that not reason enough for these ghouls?

PS I drew this birb and I think I subconsciously channeled your art style
