they rly meant it when they said "pictures don't do it justice" i saw the eclipse in my hometown. i tried my best to recreate what it looked like irl

#the sky was a weird desaturated mauve #the corona was silver and slightly iridescent at the same time #and it had this subtle ring of the brightest pink-red ive ever seen in real life...#and yet my art leaves me wanting - it's so hard to replicate #it was so much more than i expected #eclipse #eclipse2024

Mayhaps it is the nature of all cats named Bean to make a silly face

this is the best ask i have ever received

BEANS ARE SILLY CATS!!!

if they paired up, i fear they would be unstoppable

God I'm so fucking sorry you have to deal with that too. That's exactly why I said "had (my partner) still been receiving it...", because they cut us off once we had lived together long enough to be considered common-law partners.

I made "too much money". We went from being comfortably low-income to having to resort to digging into savings every month to suppliment my pay to get by.

yo Canadians!

Do you think the price of shit is too damn expensive? Do you think that disabled people should get better help with the cost of living?

Behold: This petition

This petition is calling for a CERB-type payment for disabled people ("DERB") to help them bridge the gap while the govt works on creating a better disability assistance system - currently planned for 2025 (but it has been delayed before, so we shall see...)

Disability income ranges greatly from province to province, but it's always WELL below the poverty line. The way things are, disability payments are so pathetic that none are sufficient enough to cover even the cost of rent. This year, barely any are sufficient enough to cover even HALF the rent... so, roommates? Not a solution anymore.

Where I live, the assistance my partner got was $850 a month in 2017. This year, had they still been on it, they would have gotten $950.

The average rent here in 2017 - $900/mo

The average rent here in 2023 - $1800/mo

It's rough out there.

Anyway, thanks for reading this, here's a pic of my cat Bean :) Hreef.

Non-Canadians feel free to reblog for traction.

#kind of cringe that the govt is trying to discourage marrying or living with a disabled partner #i reaaaally hope things get better soon!!!

HAPPY PRIDE fellow gays ♥

As an homage to my younger closeted self who wanted nothing more than to paint my bedroom black with rainbow polkadots, I made a series of little guys. They’re available in our shop!
