Hello! I need some guidance. If you’re reading and you know how to run a fundraiser I would love to hear from you!

I have a friend in dire straights, and would like to raise money for them by doing art commissions.

The funds would go directly to her account though, so there wouldn’t be any processing fees. The goal is 4k-5k. So doing it via PayPal it would be flagged as a business tax.

Thank you if you read this far, I appreciate ya and hope you have a good day. Much love to you and yours.

I think something important to bring up to counter the defeatist attitude I’ve seen going around of “give up AI is inevitably going to take your art jobs” is a lack of awareness in the people making these claims. Most of them seem to not be in any sort of creative industry.

So here’s the thing. I work as a professional artist at a studio that regularly accepts art submissions from freelancers… and we REFUSE to use AI generated imagery. It’s even stated in our contracts and legal agreements.

We will not be taken advantage of by paying hundreds of dollars to AI prompters who use legally questionable means to “create” their submissions.

While many of us in the studio find AI to be ethically unsound, at the end of the day… it’s because AI is literally a LIABILITY. Avoiding it now will save us a lot of trouble and legal drama down the line.

It’s just common sense.

SHA's Golden Future DTIYS [Art & Writing]

Close ups of Mikey

About 10 days ago I had the idea to host a DTIYS and even though I told myself it wouldn't happen anytime soon.. the idea struck and it wouldn't let me go. SO, here it is! One thing before everything else:

1st place: One handmade custom plushie made by me

More information about this DTIYS down below

I need to do thisss

it's very surreal to see posts about palestine dwindling down after the ceasefire. israel is still blocking aid to and trying to make life difficult for palestinians in gaza. we still have to continue to speak up about gaza.

in this ceasefire, many palestinians are trying to rebuild in attempts to try and return to what they had before the genocide. despite the heavy and unbearable loss of life that gaza has experienced, her people continue to try to make a better world for their children.

alaa is a mother of two young children. she wants to rebuild her house and get a better future for her children. please have heart and consider helping her out. her fundraiser has been verified.

it's been seven days since the last donation. please please share and consider donating if you can. alaa has to get enough money to rebuild her house to ensure her children's well being.

tagging for reach [thanks, please let me know if you would like to be removed from the list]

I am late to posting this, cause this was just the first stretch goal. BUT WE HIT THE SECOND!!! Good golly. And I am not stretching anything when I say the hard work that went into this zine is spectacular!

If you know anyone who would appreciate a Leo-centric zine, then please, send em our way!

Thanks so much to @tmntzines for hosting this and doing an amazing job with organizing.

Much love, and turtle power!! 💙
