This is what your reposts and signal boosts can do for independent artists.
Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.

If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Gonna need more non-disabled people to see stuff like this and understand that ableism is also one of the integral -isms the right is devoted to, so it should be jettisoned whenever and in whomever you encounter it

Well, then. You heard the man! I’d say it’s about time somebody saved it… from him.

I’m breaking many laws and will continue to do that.

it has been said before but one problem is that when some people say 'the economy' they're talking about poor people affording food and housing, & when some other people say 'the economy' they're referring to a chart of how happy rich people are

If someone ever does change it, please, please, please have an editor keep changing it back because the original request can’t cite official sources! 💪😤 Also, DONATE TO WIKIPEDIA!!!! ❤️🌎📚
By the way it's still Gulf of Mexico on Wikipedia since the policy is to use recognizable names over "official" names (same reason there's no "William Jefferson Clinton" article). Gulf of America isn't even mentioned as an alt name! There was a ~25k word debate about it last week though of course
