reminded me of these

DESPITE IT ALL, WE HAVE EACH OTHER

no matter how much hopelessness they corner us into, they cannot stop us from taking care of each other.

somewhere to start today is by helping nada, who is less than 40% of the way towards her goal.

https://gofund.me/e06f31d3

please continue to share mutual aid, whether its in your own neighborhood or across the sea. please continue to find both what's urgent and what's beautiful in the world.

thank you always, take care.

The house as

The home as the first place that loves you / the first place that ruins you. You speak in tongues and whet your appetite on the dull edge of a knife. You learn to cypher your speech—to make yourself small enough to be ingested, to be digested, to be spit back up againagainagain. You learn to walk through the mouth of Saturn without flinching.

even a day is a very long time // on resilience & saving your younger self

I understand why a lot of fantasy settings with Ambiguously Catholic organised religions go the old "the Church officially forbids magic while practising it in secret in order to monopolise its power" route, but it's almost a shame because the reality of the situation was much funnier.

Like, yes, a lot of Catholic clergy during the Middle Ages did practice magic in secret, but they weren't keeping it secret as some sort of sinister top-down conspiracy to deny magic to the Common People: they were mostly keeping it secret from their own superiors. It wasn't one of those "well, it's okay when we do it" deals: the Church very much did not want its local priests doing wizard shit. We have official records of local priests being disciplined for getting caught doing wizard shit. And the preponderance of evidence is that most of them would take their lumps, promise to stop doing wizard shit, then go right back to doing wizard shit.

It turns out that if you give a bunch of dudes education, literacy, and a lot of time on their hands, some non-zero percentage of them are going to decide to be wizards, no matter how hard you try to stop them from being wizards.

It wasn't just the hoity-toity ritual magic stuff, either. Popular media often frames a fundamental opposition between the Church and practitioners of the Old Ways™, but on the ground, any given medieval European community's foremost practitioner of traditional folk magic was likely to be the village priest. And again, they very much were not supposed to be doing this. There were some very pointed letters going around reminding people to cut that shit out, not that we're naming any names, Jeremy, and no, "if you invoke the saints first it's fine" is not going to fly with the bishop.

love submitting poems to magazines, immediately forgetting how to write an author's bio, and having to search up my own name to find my old bio for inspiration

part 2 is me checking my resume to see where i've been published before so i know what to include in my coverletter. i am so tired help

Am caught in a death spiral my lieges. I don't feel entitled to anyone's time, effort or resources but I feel so beat down. I am disabled, I am working so much I genuinely developed a hunched back. I am alone responsible for my autistic sister, her parentified sibling, and my two parents who are disabled with extremely limited movement. I have three jobs. I can't ask for help on twitter because people I work for follow me there. My work requires me to draw every day, without a day off, ever. I have a "morality clause" which means if I or the author I work with are deemed to be acting in any way the company thinks inappropriate, we are immediately fired and would have to return every single cent we have made. I feel at my wits end. My employers are american- but I am not. I live in the global south- government assistance in the Philippines is *nonexistent*

Last week I asked for help to pay for electricity. The other week I asked for help with my sister who had to be rushed to the ER.

I doxxed myself and posted medical info to this blog, so many strangers know my address, my legal name, everything just for me to be able to seek mutual aid- Wallah I do not want to be this person, but if anyone could please, pick up a print from my inprnt, or subscribe to my patreon, I already have 300+ drawings up there and I upload thrice to four times a month, or if you could send direct tips it would make a world's difference. I will try to open commissions next week but as the world is being plunged into wherever it is we are headed, it's getting harder and harder to get clients.

Currently myself dealing with housing insecurity- we only have a year or two to fix our traditional filipino house as it is falling apart due to the philippine storms and termites- *please* help me and my disabled family of three. I feel I am rambling now bc there's so much on my mind, on my plate, I've asked friends and my partner for help, my sister and my cousins and my friends are all I have. My mom's side of the family cannot help as they are all extremely poor themselves, and my paternal side of the family have emotionally abused me and have members that committed routine csa on me. I do not take any of the help I receive here for granted, and I'm sorry. Reblogs are off as I am asking for help from followers as I feel very ashamed / embarrassed/ humiliated to still be stuck in this dark place . Sorry and thank you again

Inprnt is having a sale rn, everything is like at 40% off!

And my tipping jars:

Sorry and thank you again. If you can't donate or purchase its OK, just please please please include me in your prayers, make mi shebeirach for my health so I csn continue to work, or any prayers at all for me. Thank you

Hi guys.

With the tips I received, I have managed to buy a few cans of food and some cereal and a sack of rice before the height of the storm. But please forgive me for boosting this again, as I have been faced with another dillema. There is a possibility of me needing to evacuate my area- inShallah it will not come to this, please pray for me. But areas very close to me are completely underwater:

Rn, in the philippines, there has been an ongoing storm. Sewers are nonexistent in the philippines, as most cities use septic tanks. It flooded in our house yesterday, and it destroyed the two boxes of sugarfree cornflakes I bought for my sister, who is newly diagnosed diabetic and still looking for her safe foods as someone who is autistic with a low frustration threshold. And it also destroyed a sack of rice we were holding onto. Last night and this morning as we are stranded in our house, we ate rotten rice. The wood in our house walls is rotting, and it's warping was accelerated by the heavy rains, causing it to crack, causing more rainwater to flood into our house. Rn, me and my sister are huddled in one of the safer areas of our house as I try to finish work. Going through food and housing insecurity during a "super typhoon" is terrifying.

If anyone with the desire to do so and the extra disposable income could please pick up a print, or send a direct tip, or subscribe to my patreon, it's only a dollar a month for 300+ artwork that I continue to upload to every month, it would be an amazing contribution to me and a family of 4's survival and our cats. Thank you so much, if you can't donate I also appreciate prayers, as I am a very religious person. I will try to keep this rebloggable for only an hour or so as I do not want to take up too much resources. Thank you so much.

Hi all! Storms have stopped-

I have posted some new art to my patreon. Thank you for making this possible! Isps all over the philippines aren't loading tumblr, so please excuse if this uploads in poor quality!

Hey guys. I get paid by patreon tomorrow, and it's where I usually lose a ton of patrons ^^; ! Maybe if you'd like to see 300+ exclusive art up in there, it's only 1 usd a month. It would mean the whole world to me ♡. I'll turn off rbs in an hour or so so I don't take up too much space

Hey guys. I get paid tonight, so if anyone wants to help me continue to be able to make art, you can subscribe there for only one usd ♡

I was scrolling on my own goddamned page wondering how the hell this person understood me so fuckign well

I think sleep would be a good idea yeah
