Posting for a friend - helping Shay is one tangible thing you could do today to make the world better. She has been working so hard and a setback like this is devastating for her, and the sort of thing that gets families torn apart.

She only has cashapp - $shaybayy98

#mutualaid #mutualaidsky 💸💕
Picture of Shay, a Black and Indigenous woman with two puffs in her hair, a pink shirt, camo shorts, and black crocs, with her youngest daughter, a 1 year old Black and Indigenous girl with 3 little hair puffs, a pastel orange dress, pink leggings, and little pink sneakers. Hi everyone. This is incredibly hard for me to write, but I’m reaching out because my family is in a moment of crisis that I can’t overcome on my own. I am an Afro-Indigenous woman, a full-time worker, and the sole provider for my two daughters — my 10-year-old and my 1-year-old — as well as the primary caregiver for my own mother. Every day, I do everything in my power to keep us safe, fed, and moving forward. We’ve been living in a hotel after losing our home when part of our household income disappeared. Since then, I’ve been trying to keep some sense of stability for my girls while searching tirelessly for a place we can call home again. But recently, things took a devastating turn: our car was towed with all of our belongings inside. Our car isn’t just a vehicle — it’s how I get to work, how I take my daughters where they need to be, how I care for my mom, and right now, it’s where we keep almost everything we own. The towing and storage fees have been piling up every day. Now I’m faced with impossible choices: food or transportation, diapers or gas, work or getting the car released. I’m trying so hard to stay strong for my daughters. My 10-year-old feels everything, and my baby depends on me for everything. They deserve stability. They deserve safety. They deserve a chance. We are trying to raise enough to get our car out — to keep me employed, protect our belongings, and give my girls the stability they desperately need while we work toward finding a home again.

#sony just stole a decade's worth of games and a brand new year of #playstationplus. Please explain to me why you have no mech for verifying accounts after they're stolen? We have the name, the card, THE FUCKING MACHINE, and literally everything associated with the acct? #ps5 #playstation #hacked

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

It is 1998. I am at the kitchen table writing Batman fanfic but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

I see James Watson has died.

What did Watson discover?

Rosalind Franklin's lab notes.

Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Good morning.
I don't know who did this, but I love you.
An abandoned building by the beach where a window overlooks the sea. The water through the window resembles a painting, so someone has scrawled Free Rothko on the wall.

We crafted something sapphic & spooky for this first @cartoonistcoop.bsky.social's Cartoonber 🎃🦇

The theme was : Reclaimed

script : @zoewithasword.bsky.social
thumbnails, pencils, lettering & tones : @willowsquest.bsky.social
inking : yours truly
One-page comic story. Panel 1 : lightning bolt hits someone on a bed through a hole in an old house roof 2-3 : a wild looking scientist gal lowers the bed down, excitedly activating a mechanism using chains "Yes ! Yes !! My beautiful creation! my perfect creature ! You will LIVE once again !" 4 : said creature wakes up growling, a Frankenstein-like woman, with scars showing where limbs got attached to each other 5 : she looks down and notices she now has pretty HUGE boobs 6 : the scientist, looking excited and perky, waiting for a reaction "Well ?" 7 : the biggest smile appears on the "creature"s face 8 : she grabs the scientist and holds her tight, burrying her face in her new boobs "They're JUST what I've always wanted !!" "Donor bodies are always a challenge, but you gave EXCELLENT direction. I don't know how much FEELING you'll have. But obviously I'm MORE than happy to -" 9 : close up of the scientist's face, that the other one is holding in her hands, pressing her cheeks "Vickie. Stop talking and get up here" Smiling, delighted, the scientist/Vickie answers : "Yes, dear."

That is a happy looking jack o'lantern. And the hen looks like they are having a conversation with them. Lots of humor in this one.

Henny Halloween. 🐔🎃

Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.
Drawing in mainly black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen standing on a pumpkin on the vine, bending her head quizzically down towards it. The pumpkin bears a grinning expression like that if a carved jack-o-lantern. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache.

At some point in the last decade I accidentally installed an Acholi keyboard and since then have intermittently activated it, rendering my normally typo-ridden texts significantly more illegible due to autocorrects.

I'm never uninstalling it.:)
