I’m officially open, (for the first time), to do commissions! I’m kind of nervous as I only did one for my sister but with no understanding on prices yet, but I’m also super excited lol!

For now, I’ll be doing a Max of 3 slots open, then when they are all filled, I will announce it being closed on my profile.

If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask via dms/email!

Important PSA: going to watch the movie Shang-Chi in theatres is NOT the only way you can support the movie! 

I’ve been getting a ton of replies saying “I can’t watch it bc of covid” which are very valid reasons. If you can watch it safely then please do that, if you can’t then you can’t. But this isn’t a group chat where I need to hear all your weekend plans of why you can’t watch it. and from the tone most people have, it feels very performative.

So how can you support Shang-Chi outside the movie theatre?

  • Hype it up!! Talk about how excited you are to watch it when you can do so safely!
  • Create content! Fanart, gifsets, fanfics, all are important and a great show of how much people like the movie! 
  • Engage with content! Reblog/retweet trailers, clips, posters, interviews, all the fan content listed above, anything!

Box office numbers are meaningless without fan engagement! Please show support for Shang-Chi!

Hello! Thank you very much for following me!

Now my financial situation is not very good. Commissions and donations the only way to pay rent for my apartment. So I decided to make a post with all basic links  where you can see my price list and links to resources in which you can throw me a little money (and see something unique I have never posted on the Tumblr). Your donations will be a real salvation for me, even one dollar will be very helpful to draw more things that you and me love so much (or not so much).

Thank you very much!

INFORM YOURSELF OF YOUR RIGHTS AS A DEAF DRIVER WHEN PULLED OVER.

[op is not deaf, so deaf/hoh users feel free to add your own resources on the topic. edited so that PDF links work.]

Hey a Deaf person here. FYI several states have their own visor cards that you can get for FREE.

Contact National Association of the Deaf (NAD) to see what local association is in your state and contact them. Honestly I have never heard of (excuse the pun) that place that sells the visor card. So it’s better to go thru NAD.

For Ontario, I’ve designed the visor card for Ontario Association of the Deaf along with Ontario Provincial Police so they’re aware of this visor card! Trainings for Ontario Police is underway. You can find the visor card at here: https://www.deafontario.ca/2018/06/07/visor-card-print-at-home/

I’m biased but I like the design we used because it includes various communication methods that ppl can point to. 😁

[id: screenshoot of watermarked visor card that includes communication tips, icons of communication methods, “I need to see your:” with icons of drivers license, insurance, and registration and “I stopped you for:” with icons of various reasons and “help” with icons for various issues such as gas, lost, hospital, etc.]

(Btw OP, @brbdaly-a , the sign for know and right isn’t fully accurate. Please let us Deaf artists draw signs and get our consultation especially when sharing significant information!)

What a funny way to say “cops blew up neighborhood”

It’s been really hilarious to watch the LAPD try to dodge any responsibility for this while the media tries desperately to help them by publishing the most confusing fucking headlines but what really happened is that the cops found and confiscated thousands of pounds of “illegal” fireworks in LA and then decided to take 10 pounds of that, call the press, and make a show of using their new expensive toy, the “total containment” truck that is supposed to be able to take explosions of up to 15 pounds.

So they took the 10 pounds of explosives and their toy truck to a poor Black neighborhood, got reporters there, stuck the explosives inside, and set them off intentionally instead of just defusing them like they did with the other 4,990 pounds of fireworks.

For some reason, likely because something went wrong with their truck which I bet cost the city a shit ton of money, the containment completely failed and the explosion destroyed cars, homes, and injured 17-19 people (I’ve seen different reports with different numbers), a couple of whom were in critical condition but it sounds like everyone survived.

The LAPD then had the audacity to tweet that they didn’t know what caused the explosion when it was them who caused the explosion, intentionally, and we know because they called the media so that everybody could see them do it.

In summary, the LAPD wanted to show off/justify their ridiculous budget but their expensive toy was a dud and so they ended up bombing a poor Black neighborhood (because they would never risk this in a white neighborhood) and don’t want to admit it.

is 10lbs of explosives a lot? I thought fireworks were relatively underpowered, that scene looks crazy

10bs of consumer grade fireworks isn’t a lot if you’re setting them off one by one. But if they were irresponsible enough to store them all close together while a few were igniting, the heat from the first few would be enough to immediately ignite several pounds of gunpowder all at once.
