If we can no longer afford cost of living while having a full time job, then we will have nothing to loose. In any case, we are going to end up in the streets: homeless or protesting.

#cost of living #government #you are not immune to propaganda #I want to be able to afford food AND rent #but apparently that’s too much to ask #hear us #an app ban is not what we needed #but we received that over desperately needed changes #the ban actively made it harder for small business #what some people are surviving off of #I’m tired #us healthcare #us health insurance #us health system #tiktok ban #us politics

do you make enough money from selling prints in etsy to sustain your life? how are you able to afford this beautiful house and time to crochet and go on walks and all of that? i’m not asking for nosiness but because i’m trying to figure out what i would need to do in order to make my life financially sustainable… is art an option… etc

short answer i mooch off my bf <333333333333333

#long answer part 1: i make enough off my etsy to afford my stuff (and i really don't buy much) and help out w th food bills where i can etc #i hvnt been able to do much of that OR save anything for the past couple months bc i hvnt been selling much BUT . things are beginning #to pick up again and i hve new stock to add when i get back from holidays :3 #i have a smallish job lined up from my agent which is exciting! but hopefully i will make enough w her doing picture books etc to be able #to pay my keep / save more etc! i hve been anxious abt money this past months but thats just more so money for me to spend on small stuff :#i also dont drive so . i dont rlly hve many outwards expenses . im very lucky to have him hes very kind and lovely !!#if i wasnt w him and he didnt hve a house i would still b living w my mama which i did since i left uni!#long answer part 2: i always make time for goofing off during my work day. always!!!#part of the joys of being a freelancer! i can do what i want!!#i can share my routine in more detail if u guys want but i dont start work until abt 2pm-ish most days bc i dont rlly work well in the #mornings. when i hve more work that might change!! i have enough on to keep me busy but im not rlly hvin 2 manage my time u kno #im very very lucky to be in such a comfortable position :3 i hope one day u can be as comfy !!#oh also. i think once the agency work kicks in i will b fine financially ! and also u can absolutely make a living off etsy when its good #its very good for me ! i was very comfy financially around xmas last year i made a lot #u can do it u can do it !! art will always sell !!

so dick as robin can want to kill the man who murdered his parents and bruce thinks no less of him, but jason as robin can want to be violent with pimps, rapists, and drug dealers because of his experiences growing up and bruce thinks he's going to become the dirtiest, nastiest murderous criminal in the world?

#this can all be explained in one phrase: rich white man #dick was violent as well when he wanted to kill zucco #and sure bruce might've resonated more with dick bc they share the same backstory #but him just automatically seeing jason in a bad light after he gets violent with criminals is so...#welcome to classism: dc's speciality #it's funny because i would maybe defend bruce if he said jason would've become a criminal without his intervention if jason was a teenager #or young adult #but bruce saw a full on child not even twelve years old #clearly stealing just to be able to afford some food for the night because he's homeless and has no parents #and just automatically saw him as a future criminal instead of the starving child he was #jason todd #red hood #batman #bruce wayne #dc #dick grayson

currently at That Point which occurs once every few months where one briefly begins pacing around the house teary eyed contemplating selling their own organs or becoming an online scammer or getting on anxiety meds so you can bear the risk taking required to be a hitman or so on and so forth.... why must everything so Expensive... Surely all would be healed in life if only I had one big plate of lasagna and a simple loan of $40,000 ... auoughhh....

#And then you just eventually shrug and go 'welp. nothing i can do i guess' and sad cartoon music plays as you shuffle back to your room #It's just hard with my specific physical and mental issues since it's like.. I couldn't really handle most jobs. I can't handle school. I'm #100% aromantic and asexual so I'll never get married so I can't get money that way. I have too much issues with social cues #+ too nervous temperament + too low energy to put effort into lying and having a fake relationship just for money. so on and so forth etc.#Really I should have just been born into a middle class family. Which I guess everyone says. but ESPECIALLY considering my #chronic conditions kind of hampering my ability to function 'normally' or be Independent in a regular way. I'm always going to be #in some way sort of beholden to the whims of people around me who I must depend on. so... well of course they might as well have been rich #lol like that would have been better for me of course.#AAANyway... Just thinking about another stupid fucking climate change summer... months keep going by so fast.. soon it will be so again #And it's like such SMALL things would make drastic improvements for me. Literally if I just had a place with central AC #then like 75% of my issues with summer would vanish instantly. literally. But instead it's like.. having a cheap hot apartment + only #half functional dinky window ac + my illnesses that make me heat sensitive + living in a part of the country that keeps getting hotter +#inability to leave the house much meaning I can't just go spend time in a cooler place etc. all factors which combine together to make #it just utterly miserable for MONTHS and mentally draining. And literally ALL I would need to fix that is just...#have a place with central AC that works.. (or move to a colder country/area but that also takes money. Or just not have illnesses #that make me heat sensitive. but that I can't control). etc. etc. I guess it's just the nature of the constant background frustration of #being part of The Masses under our current manifestation of unmitigated capitalism. Such minor details would make such huge #quality of life improvements and yet will remain ever out of reach. ONE little thing could change your whole life but you can't even have #that. so many 'If only' scenarios. etc. And of course obviously I am incredibly thankful just to have anywhere to live at all. food to eat #. any sort of stability whatsoever no matter how fragile it feels/is. But that still doesn't make it not frustrating occasionally to look #around and see how relatively little would have to change in order for you to be a decent percentage more comfortable and yet #how still far away even those ''small'' seeming goals are. etc. etc.#Seriously think I've been traumatized by the summer or something somehow lol like thinking about it being warm weather eventually #makes me nauseous with panic. It's just SOOO much labor. micromanaging windows and fans and blocking every ounce of light #and not being able to cook (cant even afford a single degree of temp increase due to the stove) for months and barely being able #to sleep for months and the claustrophobia of days on end crawling out of your skin because it doesnt even get cool enough at #night to offer relief so you're just always feeling trapped.. hgrhh...#It starts getting hot here sometimes in May but mostly June then lasts through October now.. thats like half the year almost.. ARghhH #anyway... If any extremely rich person reading this would like to buy me an air conditioned house in exchange for multiple years worth #of art (I will paint murals on all of your grand dining halls and make all the custom sculptures you could ever want etc) then.. hewwo :'3c

I SPEEDRUN THIS BECAUSE HOLY TOLETO BURST OF INSPIRATION. It's been ages since I did some audio work plz forgive for any badness. And yes, he was supposed to say "It feels like years since I was last in one", but uh... I wound up forgetting the second half of the line WHOOPS

Anywho YES I can't help it, I love voicing him. And the sexyman polls are the best excuse to do so.

#megalosomnia #dr baggs #sexy sans poll #baggs #I'd be able to fine tune his voice a bit more if I had Melodyne Uno #but I'm a broke ass bitch who can't even afford food rn #Bc he's supposed to have a deep rich tone with lighter lilts in intonation #OR AT LEAST BY THAT I MEAN WHAT I WANT FOR MY IMPRESSION OF HIM #I love him he deserves to sound fabulous and fruity

I’m always surprised by just how many people think the general american population somehow dont know that foods like chips and soda aren’t considered healthy. like. OBVIOUSLY soda is full of sugar? that’s why I’m drinking it? I want to drink it? no one is forcing me at gun point to buy soda instead of drinking water. as an American, I’m not some mindless slave to american food companies. I’m perfectly capable of choosing what i want to eat and drink. yes, less healthy foods/drinks are typically cheaper bc they’re cheaper to make in large quantities and are fairly shelf stable. that does not mean eating and drinking those things can’t possibly be a choice. if i want a soda im going to fucking drink a soda. you can pry my dill pickle chips from crusty dead hands. stop robbing americans of their autonomy and infantilizing us when discussing the american food system. we’re well aware of what sugar and carbs are.

#g talks #obviously there’s two different discussions being fused into one here #when people talk about this #and i think it’s intellectually dishonest to an extent #bc obviously a lot of our foods aren’t nutrient dense #but that doesn’t inherently mean we’re all addicted to sugar #and can’t possibly know what we’re eating is bad for us #no one is pulling the wool over our eyes #we’re not stupid #the second convo should be separate #bc it’s about choice vs need and food scarcity and poverty #even poor people can and should be able to choose what they eat #so if they want a soda they’re more than allowed to drink one #but a LOT of poor people can’t afford anything but the stuff that’s nutrient devoid #it’s not about fat and sugar and carb #it’s about how much of your daily nutrients are you getting #reframe this for the love of god #mine #/mobile #/okay to reblog

ah I see it's one of those days where my brain is like, yeah, dummy, you're fucking disabled

I was sitting here like "I want to DO things" and I try, I keep signing myself up to do things and then it's too much and I get overwhelmed and bad things happen

and the fact of the matter is, I cannot do things at the same level as a neurotypical person. because I am not neurotypical. I can keep trying, but it's never going to happen, and I'm just going to keep hurting myself as a result

and it fucking sucks but like. can't get better if you don't know where your limits are

#jay speaks #I hate this but the fact is #the only way I would be able to do more things #is if I had a great deal of support #I absolutely would not qualify for the kind of disability benefits that would pay for that support #I could go back to living with my parents and I'd have at least some of that support #but bro I don't fucking want to live with my parents #I like having my own space I just.... cannot function fully independently as it turns out #my pets eat more consistently than I do and that's bad but it's just how it be #all I have eaten so far today was a couple of cookies and a handful of wheat thins #it's 7 pm.#the day I can afford a personal chef is the day I might become a functional human being lmfao #who wants to marry me and play housewife and your sole job will be making sure I eat food at regular intervals #in exchange I will pay for the food and everything else lmfao #I do my own laundry I have a lady who cleans for me so literally yeah that's the job #make sure jay eats actual meals and not. a handful of wheat thins

This is going to sound unexpectedly specific compared to my usual vague-as-fuck questions. Context being: I want money, I cannot commit to doing commissions at the moment and drawing is my only marketable skill.

If you were to buy a character "adopt" - premade design for your use, art by me and no rights retained except to like merchandising that original art - would it be a significant factor in either a positive or negative direction if the art were originally done digitally vs traditionally?

Likewise, if you were to buy a traditionally-drawn adopt, would the inclusion of the original paper-and-ink drawing be a significant benefit to you that you would consider paying more than just "base" price for?

Third, regardless of medium, would you want "scratch" papers where I did the brainstorming before the final concept was finished - this wouldn't be at any extra cost i just wonder.

Fourth, would you prefer a "flat" sale or an auction? (I like buying things at auction-style sales, and it means you might get a cheaper price than i'd normally list whatever it is for, but I am given to understand that my preferences vary from the norm pretty significantly lol) .

Fifth, would TF or at lesat mecha designs be more interesting than non-TF ones or would more general "can use this as any oc for anything" type characters be more appealing?

Ah - sixth and last, do regular ocs appeal more or less than kink/fetish-oriented ocs like "suspiciously wide-hipped lady who just so happens to have a mouth in her crotch" or stuff in that vein lol? I'm not sure I can stop myself from coming up with at least one erotic as fuck design because that's just how my brain works, but it's good to know if i should try and focus on that or leave it be and just focus on concepts that seem interesting enough to get a shape out of.

#i know this is specific. please understand i want to eat good food again.#i am not in Serious Financial Worry i simply cannot afford takeout again. my dad is going to give me money when he gets around to it but #that might be any time between now and the end of the month #and about 80% of the money in my bank account is tapped for rx payments the second i get to the pharmacy so i cant spend basically anything #if you guys respond it'd be a big help #also if anyone is interested - first design im working on is a cordyceps-possessed archer elf lady.#and im thinking to list it for around $40-50 US and +$10 and shipping for the paper version #i get a good deal on shipping these days at least. i should be able to ship overseas for like $15-20 US and not $60 or whatever #eta. LOL. LMAO EVEN. ummmm im probably going to want $200 minimum for this archer design. theres three and a half full color illustrations #here. i detailed LACE. FIVE TIMES. INCLUDING A DIAGRAM #i spent eight hours i want like at least my old rates lol #its a cool ass design though. so its worth it. trust me <- biased #my mailing list as usual gets first pick of stuff like this #so if you want to see it go sign up for that and then come message me and ill forward you a copy of the email i sent htem #if they snap it up im not selling it publicly.
