The way that people, including some of my colleagues, talk about unhoused people like they’re inherently criminal, deranged, or ill, when we know STATISTICALLY the main cause of homelessness is the cost of housing, comes directly from a fascist and eugenicist mindset against the poor.
dunno if I reposted this one on here yet: Romanian folklore-tinged commission for Mau/Irina
There are vanishingly few places for adults to sell works of art to adults online thanks to the christofascist policies of payment processors deciding what is allowed. Artists are watching their entire income and livelihoods disappear overnight. Please help us and sign.
