Alright, it was suggested to me that I actually crowdfund the out of pocket cost for the lumbar MRI since my insurance keeps denying the day before the appt even w/ it as an important order. I will have more info in the replies as well. I was honestly hesitant but... ko-fi.com/portaltohades

At libraries around the country, "Avoiding AI" workshops have elicited unprecedented demand.

Reading Octavia Butler's "Lilith's Brood" and boy, it sure is something reading about the military personel in this book hiding in bunkers from the nuclear fallout and winter that *they caused* The parallels between that and our current climate crises are... sobering.

I'm finally free of this particular self-made cage 😎 Not-so-coincidentally, I'm having a LOT more fun doing art now

The next two art shows I submit to are going to be the last shows I submit to with new work specifically made for those shows. I'm fast at embroidery and fiber art in general, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still slow media. Giving myself a month to do a full piece is not sustainable 🫣

Absolutely delighted by some of the reactions I've gotten from friends over a small piece I'm working on 👀

“My brother is just a vessel. It’s like they have to have a body to put in jail. And unfortunately, that happens to be my brother.” Much more here from Ana Bell, brother of Prairieland defendant Daniel “Des” Sanchez Estrada, who spoke with me not long after the anniversary of her brother’s arrest:

My Brother Was Sentenced to 30 Years for Moving a Box of Zines

The sister of a defendant in the Prairieland case, which targeted Texas ICE protesters, speaks out.

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

Our roof needs to be replaced before we lose our insurance, and before a hurricane rips our current rotted roof off the house. Our current roof is 19 years old, rotted in several places. We have leaks in one room, and water is affecting our wiring and shorting our breaker. (link in comments)
