Sometimes self-care is, actually, NOT getting onto the computer and little treats and watching youtube videos. Sometimes those things are self-care, but sometimes they're also avoidant behaviors.

Sometimes self care is waking up and just. Fucking getting in the car. And driving to the bank. And the store. And buying the cat litter. And changing the cat boxes you've been avoiding because your brains been stuck in a hole. And picking up the trash you've been piling up. And getting a load into the wash. And mowing the lawn before the village council sends you a formal complaint and potential-fines warning.

Like its hard and annoying to do because it sucks. It sucks so much. But if I don't start working on this pile of bullshit I've let build up because it stinks and i was stuck in deer-in-headlights mode, I risk letting it turn into fuckery. I do not have the patience for fuckery that I once - foolishly! - thought I had.

Fundraising for transport to Pride Markets

I've got goods, can you help get me there?

Goal is $1000 CAD. Help by supporting my shop?

Please share

Buttons $3 CAD / Toque $35 CAD / Patch $15 CAD

All orders get a numbered bad seal drawing for a short time!!! Limited edition, will be on your order slip!!

I am going to markets in summer to sell my artwork - but also 4 other confirmed artists' artwork at pride festivals. I'm building a queer artist collective and we want to bring queer-created pride merchandise to local markets. We want to directly benefit our local community. I want to provide pride merchandise where the profit goes towards other queer people.

The other artists' work isn't up on our site yet but it will be available at the markets.

Buttons $3 CAD / Holo sticker $7 CAD

Why:

-I got a microloan for this, but last second my guy had to halve the loan amount. He said he could cover my transport + the requested amount to cover all expenses, but then he had to change it to just the requested amount, last second. I accept the help that was given and am thankful for that. He had other businesses that also needed help.

-My employer ghosted me - long story short. I showed up to work multiple times to find the business closed without any communication whatsoever. BUT they are also a queer small business owner. I will not be seeking anything from them, nor will I go into any more detail about where I was working. Yes it sucks for me and yes it sucks for everyone else affected, but infighting is not worth it, and I want them to do well.

Boot patches $25 CAD / Stickers $5 CAD / OG paintings $500 CAD

What is the money going towards?

Gas money. Food money. One more table for the market, button making supplies, trans boot stickers restock. Emergency cash.

Shop link: https://www.queerforqueer.com/

We have 3 events lined up and we're signing up for more.

I will update with progress as we go

Help Mahasen, a Digital Artist from Gaza and Her Family!

Hello, I am Mahasen,a Digital Artist from North Gaza, where creativity thrives despite challenges. Verified by @90-ghost here

PLEASE DONATE HERE

In this tough situation, I am a digital artist finding solace and resilience through my art .. pixels and colors.

For over a decade, I've navigated the freelance world, weaving intricate digital tapestries that reflect the beauty and strength of my surroundings.

My father died, and I am the main provider for my family.

Before the war, I worked with international companies in motion graphics,

specializing in character design and storyboarding.

The conflict forced us into repeated evacuations, and our home suffered damage, including the theft and destruction of my essential art equipment and tablet. Each stolen piece held not just monetary value but years of dedication and creativity and hard work. We are left HOMELESS, UNSAFE, SICK with VERY LITTLE FINANCIAL SECURITY!

Our family consists of:

• My mother, 62 years old.

• My sister Mai, 35 years old, who is also visually impaired.

• Myself,Mahasen, 31 years old.

• My brother Mohammed, 28 years old, who is visually impaired.

• My brother's wife Iman, 28 years old.

• My youngest brother Amin, 21 years old.

Your support is crucial as I rebuild what was lost. Your contribution will help replace my tools and restore hope and creativity. And mainly for my family's safety, ability to survive the current situation and community.

Together, we can affirm that art is more than expression,

it is a lifeline that connects us and enlighten even the darkest moments.

Expenses Needed:

• Travel arrangements to Egypt ( $5000 per person ) for 6 family members.

• Living expenses to survive the current situation in Gaza.

• Buying art equipment and tablet to recover what I've lost and be able to work again.

• Living and transportation expenses during the initial period of travel.

• Food and medical expenses.

Every donation counts! Your support makes a real difference for my family and me.

Please consider contributing and sharing to help us.

Please help a trans girl get out her family's house

Greetings, friends. This isn't for me, it's for my friend @tyladoesthings who I met at my local tech school in-person. We both really wish this wasn't necessary, but things have gotten- difficult.

In short, she has been saving and raising money to move out of her family's house, getting to a safe space in a different state after she had a near un-closeting scare back in April. Yesterday, however, she got into a car accident. She's okay physically, but all of those savings are going towards repairs. Her original plan was to get out of there in about 2 weeks, but now that plan is in jeopardy.

Here is a doc of a letter going into more detail about her situation [embedded link, not updated w/ recent info] and you can help support her [in any small way, anything is super helpful] down here:

Ko-fi

Buy TylaDoesThings a Coffee. ko-fi.com/tyladoesthings

Become a supporter of TylaDoesThings today! ❤️ Ko-fi lets you support the creators you love with no fees on donations.

It also gives more recent info on the state of things. If you can't help out, we'd be super grateful if this was spread around by reblogging. I'm worried for the safety of my friend, especially with her asking me to make this post here because it feels safer for her than on her own blog. She's too kind of a soul to have all of this thrown at her... Please help bring my friend to safety.

In addition, I am doing doodle requests for any contributions over $10

just send a screenshot of the proof to my inbox and I'll cross-check that w/ my friend Tyla [please keep requests SFW]
