Hello everyone, although I wouldn't have expected to post stuff like this, this is a time of dire need.

At around 4 AM GMT+3, an earthquake hit the southern provinces of Türkiye: Kahramanmaraş and Hatay with the power of 7.8

The largest earthquake ever recorded in the region since 1939.

People were't able to escape as they were sleeping, there is over 5k injured right now and the estimated death count surpasses 16k.

The entire army and the special forces have been directed to the area to aid the rescue effort with many nations directing aid to Türkiye.

There is literal people, sharing their and their family's locations on Twitter, under the tons of rubble for the authorities to find them. over 140 THOUSAND building are reduced to dust and foreign report that the damage costs are estimated around 3 billion USD.

As a Turkish citizen myself, although thankfully not affected by it due to living far more west, I am devastated and exhausted by this. That my nation who is already struggling from many angles, stuck by such a natural disaster that affects so many people. It's just so exasperating.

For the ones who are eligible, I really really urge that you donate to the Turkish Red Cresent and AFAD (The Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Office) to help the thousands and thousands of people struggling for their lives. I will be personally donating also and they accept donations in USD and Euros. For the ones not available to donate, plase share this post around more communities so we can spread the awareness of the situation to more people. I am linking the necessary websites below. (THE WEBISTES HAVE AN ENGLISH OPTION IN THE TOP RIGHT)

Stay safe everyone

"you only deserve food and shelter if you contribute to society" says people living in countries where nobody's labor actually feeds or benefits their neighbors anymore but exclusively benefits the companies keeping the food and shelter behind the artificial paywalls

You're not nomads relying on each other to hunt and gather anymore, you're talking about stocking shelves for fucking wal marts

And even the oldest societies on earth all took care of the elderly or sick anyway

*sigh* Reminding all of you once again...

AI art is stolen art.

If you're pro-AI art, you're harming human artists. Full stop.

At this point, I don't care if it's "real art" or not because that's not even what the real issue is, it's that it's already hard enough to succeed as an artist without having our work stolen, thrown into a digital blender, and spat back out in our faces, so we can be replaced because the value of our creativity and skill has been reduced to "content" and dollar signs. Do we mean nothing to you? Is your convenience worth telling us we don't matter?

These programs and everyone who uses them no matter how many times we've told you this can get fucked. I'm done being nice about it.

Sincerely, your salty neighborhood artist.

Just a reminder I do not support AI art, writing, or music in any form. I do NOT care if it’s easier to enjoy your blorbos with ai content. By supporting ai content you’re just literally cutting out human connection and telling human creators that they’re replaceable. As a human you should feel terrible about this.

the whole “it takes a village” thing needs to translate into adulthood too bc i need support!! i need people i can lean on! i need people i can share my thoughts with!! i need a village of mfs who love me!! idc idc idc

Every culture in all of human history was so right about carbs and fat together being a blessing upon earth. Eating bread with butter knowing I am partaking in one of humanities biggest shared joys

the last time i ever fully sobbed bc of something i saw online was last week when i saw a video of a person saving a kingfisher who had their feet frozen to a railing. the caption said “you must be this tender and loving with all of God’s creatures i’m being so serious about that”

hey, it's that time of the month again when I open a new pool. I'm setting a goal of $1000 for the month. I need at minimum $140 to keep myself in therapy ($15-20 per session, one long and one short per week) and $200 to help feed my sibling--they're 15 (still living at home), autistic, and have food sensitivities our parents don't accommodate. I want to at least keep their room stocked with snack food, so they can eat without having to leave it. It would be nice if I could order him a meal every once in a while as well, as it's next to impossible for him to cook and eat one when our parents are home. I also self-medicate with weed to be able to eat and manage my chronic pain. everything else goes towards food for me and saving to pay off [redacted medical center]. my priorities are really therapy and food for my sibling, who lacks the freedom and autonomy I have from moving out. everything helps! thank you all so much for supporting me through this!

$0/$1000

(April 27th) $10/1000

i'd really like to have at least $40 by tomorrow afternoon to pay for my therapy this week since I spent the $10 on food today

(April 28th) $155/$1000

thank you all 💞💞💞

(April 30th) I spent a hundred on thumb splints that I really need. I need at least another hundred this week to feed my sibling and to pay for therapy. thank you all so much for your support

(May 7th) $185/$1000

My hands are very bad and I am going through a severe dissociative episode and there is little I can do to distract myself when I am not actively working through trauma that is not digital (watching videos, reading pdfs, talking to friends, video games, writing). I need to remain in therapy. I really didn't want to have to shell out for this with medical bills over me and general instability + feeding my sibling, but I desperately need an ergonomic keyboard and mouse. my injured wrists and joint instability make holding my phone or typing normally and even clicking a regular mouse button painful. ive lost the ability to write with a pen for more than 2 minutes at a time and have to stop after maybe twenty total minutes, with rest time in between. my thumb splints should come in within a month (they are backed up on orders currently) but I really need to be able to entertain myself, write things down, and talk with people while minimizing damage to my hands and wrists while I am unable to access medical care. please, I really need this. thank you everyone who has supported me; it means so much more than I can ever express
