I've watched the people boosting this gofundme become more and more desperate as the Rafah invasion draws near:

This baby was born during this genocide and has only ever known this genocide. If you can donate to help her family evacuate, please do.
If you were thinking about donating to any evacuation, now is the time. They don't have much left.

Freedom Isn't Free
I'm going to try, to try and make this short because I hit the quota for typing for a full year already and I need to take a breather from all the stimulation and emotions that has befallen upon me.
Only when you have lost any amount of freedom or rights gifted to us by God naturally, or the rights we have upon birth on this great land of the United States of America gifted to us by the people by way of the Constitution after sacrificing fields of blood on this land to claim rightful ownership as victors, do we truly give a flying fuck about those rights. I should know after all, it is the main point for this piece. Keeping this short, certain freedoms and rights have been taken away from me by the courts for about four years now and more were taken about a year and 4 months ago and unfortunately for another 9 years. There is quite a number of shit I cannot do or even attempt to do. I pretty much have the government as my babysitter for, well forever as far as I'm concerned. All because of my first ever run in with the law- a misdemeanor. Further exacerbated due to a lengthy note authored by Mr. Silva and company of which I did not know about until that court day, I still don't know what it said about me because I was not given the chance to read it at any time before that day in court or after. A double dagger he thrust into my back to seal the deal as it where and as it where, it worked. But my friends and foes alike yet unequal- Freedom is within us and eventually it will eat away at those chains that bind us in bondage and it will take over your mind, body, and soul urging you with confidence unbounded and unrestrained. You feel this urge within you that makes you fight back against the tide and foe in your path in whatever form they may be and from whereover they may come from. It's the fight for your God given right to freely live on this land as a free person and citizen.
I have been fighting everyday for my full freedom since October 13, 2020. The day the sheriff appeared at my doorstep to summon me to court. All because Raymond decided to take the easy road and use the government to pluck me out of his life like I was piece of gum being spitted onto the ground left to be walked on like I was nothing and nobody at all. Instead of doing well pretty much anything else such as have a conversation with me, see me as the friend and lover that he assured me I once was, therapy, the block button, simply just ignore me, not pretend to be my friend while collecting evidence to use against me, church- like I said anything else. I think maybe six years of what we had together and experienced together, I at least deserved some reservation on any life changing decision that was going to be made. My only fault? I gave him a second chance and continued to hang out with him even after I was thrust onto the floor like trash. A human that lets their rights be so easily treaded on or taken from, had no rights to begin with. Freedom is not free.
Stay Free...

As of now, Florida and Kansas have passed bills that align with KOSA.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So many people have held back on speaking out against KOSA or signing petitions because "it probably won't pass." But we have proof that it very well can and will.
So what can we do right now?
The same thing we've been doing: bring awareness and protest.
Here are a few websites you can visit to sign petitions:
https://www.badinternetbills.com/
https://www.stopkosa.com/
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/02/dont-fall-latest-changes-dangerous-kids-online-safety-act
You can also call your state reps. This post explains how you can do that.
Good luck, everyone! Don't give up yet.

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.
Tumblr media
There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.
Tumblr media
Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.
Tumblr media
PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.
Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)
The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.
So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 馃嚨馃嚫

Can't afford art school?
After seeing post like this 馃憞
Tumblr media
And this gem 馃憞
Tumblr media
As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.
Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.
馃摵Here is my list:
Proko (Free)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)
Aaron Rutten (free)
BoroCG (free)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free)
Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)
SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.
馃摎Here is my list:
The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.
As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.
For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.
馃捇As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.
Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Libresprite (free, for pixel art)
Those are the ones I can recall.
So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.
I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.
Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Sucks that "sleeping together" refers to sex. Sometimes a fella just wants to snooze with a pal.

It comes from a 1951 movie about a chimp named bonzo who needs to be put to bed
The films called bedtime for bonzos (effectively your parents said bedtime for little monkeys)
((I can't remember my childhood enough to say if I was but here's the etymology))
