It's so weird talking to people who's view of "here's the way life is for everyone" is shattered as soon as they talk to someone with disabilities (physical, mental illness, any). Like you'll say you'll have a problem and instead of helping you they'll argue with you about how you're not actually facing that problem. Like,
Me: Hey, I'm really struggling to find a job and a part of it is my resume. I was depressed & psychotic during highschool so I didn't do anything to gain skills or achievements to put on my resume. I also don't have anyone to put as a reference. What can I do?
Them: You can add your skills, hobbies, clubs you're in, and different volunteer work you've done! You can also get your teacher as a reference.
Me: I already know what to put on a resume, my issue is that I don't have things that I can use. Also, I'm in my mid 20s so I don't know if I can put my highschool teacher as a reference.
Them: Well if you're a part of a church or an activity group, you could add that. Also, think of any projects you've worked on in the past.
Me: I already know you can put these things on a resume. I'm not looking for suggests of things I've already done, I'm looking for what I can do now if I haven't done anything.
Them: There's no way you didn't do anything during highschool?? What about some odd jobs you definitely did for extra money, like babysitting or mowing the lawn?
Me: I spent all of highschool either in modified classes or in bed doing nothing - not even hobbies, what about that do you not understand?
And then you talk to someone who's also disabled and they're like "Here's a bunch of jobs you can do from home that don't pay much but look good on a resume, here's some free online courses that also look good on a resume, here's how you can be making small amounts of money in the meantime, here's some things you can put besides a professional reference, and here are your rights if your future employer tries to take advantage of your disability - which you probably shouldn't tell them about unless you need accommodations."
And suddenly my will to continue trying returns!
"People often ask me if I like being the 'goody two shoes' of the Expanse, seeing as I don't put entire planets to the sword like Chorda nor do I leave them to the wolves like Winterscale."
"To those detractors I must say, my people love me, my profits have never been higher and I'm pretty sure none of them have had the amount of interesting bedpartners I have"
Art Study(?) I did, of a frame from the music video of 'The Flea Waltz' by Tadano Kaede. I did it because I absolutely adore the art style of the video. Both the Music and art of the video are absolutely gorgeous. I like how the mouth turned out, but I had a few oopsies with the eyes. I also didn't quite get the yellows flowering into the hair effect. I got a bit experimental with the hair and I think I like it.
Another drawing of Evalyne. (And some pointy teeth I guess). I really like how this one turned out. Especially the waist coat thingy. I found this bomb reference on Pinterest for it. The ears aren't really where I want them to be though. Oh well.
Sobbing, wailing, screaming, etc.
this is one of the stupidest things ive ever come up with! π

It's been a long time since anyone mentioned us. It's been a long time since that vicious war that began on October 7, 2023, and continues to this very moment, that war that left no stone, no person, no tree untouched. The Gaza war that no one cares about anymore. Hundreds of people are dying every day. I could be next, as happened to me a few hours ago when I was walking in the street and was shot at, two bullets almost hitting me. I miraculously survived. We can say it's a true miracle. I survived this time, and I probably won't survive the next time, or most likely I won't survive, because this is our situation: killing, bombing, destruction, and hunger. They make us hate life, so we wish for death or don't wish for it. We are already dying every day. Our souls are burned daily from the lack of food, water, and medicine, from the constant bombing, and from the forced displacement from our homes. We no longer live a normal life. We die a thousand times a day. Please save us. Please stop the war on us. We want a normal life, free of killing, bombs, and explosions. We want to live like other humans. Help us. Your donation keeps me alive. Alive so I don't starve to death, and it can save me from this devastating war when the crossings open, so donate to us.
You can get small TMA commissions (a little drawing or short fanfic) in exchange for donating to 1 of 10 Gofundme's of Palestinians in Gaza (starting May 17th)
There are about 60 artists signed up already who have volunteered to work for free for this to happen. Until May 16th, you can join too!
The project is fanmade and has no connection to Rusty Quill

If you want to support our cause and join as a visual artist or writer - thank you! You can fill out this form to sign up: Artists Form Here's a seperate post with information for artists.
1: Donate to one of the 10 gofundme's. (any amount) 2: Fill out the commission form and describe what art you want! 3: And now we wait. We don't know how many commissions each artist will take on so please be patientπ
We, the organizers and artists of TMA commissions for Gaza, gain no money from this. We ask participants to donate to 1 of these 10 Gofundme's by Gazans who are trying to survive and evacuate Gaza. 5 of these Gofundmes are on the Operation Olive Branch list and the other 5 are friends and family of one of our organizers. The funds are needed for expenses such as medical care, food and first and foremost to pay for crossing the border to Egypt.
Why only 10 Gofundme's?
We hope to be more effective when focusing on just a small number of Gofundme's and not for example the whole Operation Olive Branch list. Providing a smaller number of places to donate to may also help donators to not get overwhelmed by the amount of people who need their help. If you have any questions, send us a message here on Tumblr!

A sketch I did in class today. She's a PC I haven't gotten to use yet, but that's how I imagine her to look. I found a bussing ass sketch on Pinterest the other day and have been sort of immitating the style, especially with the braids and the nose. I think I'm really figuring out how to do the outlines in a way that I like. I almost feel like I'm getting to a point where I can share my doodles with my DnD group without being embarrassed about it.
My cousins Jana is 2 years old and Juwana 5 years old are happy because they will eat eggs after 30 days π
Do you imagine how much time it need to light the fire and fry the eggs
We cook in the open,Please keep sharing and donating
