the whole AI bros going full "but what about people who can't hold a pencil" and it's quite symptomatic from post-covid society and just general seclusion and heavier reliance on the internet but holy fucking shit. i literally get a calendar every year of artists from the MFPA The Mouth and Foot Painters of people with various disabilities and you have to be a particular type of scum to not know about art therapy in the first place, not to mention the paintings are incredible meticulous work, EVEN MORE SO

[leelarots]

when I was younger my mother would buy these thick paper calendars with paintings for each month.

why is this relevant? because I remember distinctly that every single painting in them was made by a disabled artist that painted with either their mouth or their feet*. they were beautiful, often intricate pieces, from people that "can't even move their arms".

it is true that those who are disabled are, well, disabled, but they always will develop workarounds and fight to do the things they love. using them as a guilt tactic to those who don't support ai is very. interesting.

*it's been a long time since I had one of these, so I don't remember where we bought them from—but MFPA sells calendars, and so does another publisher called izda. the latter is most likely where we got ours from. below are some links to them:

"ai is making it so everyone can make art" Everyone can make art dipshit it came free with your fucking humanity

A woman's closet must have a duffle handbag. Learn Why!

In many cases, duffel bags are underrated, but if you have one for yourself and start using it regularly, your perspective will change. Let me fill you in on all the details regarding them. You'll need one, I'm certain, soon enough!

In addition to being an underutilized accessory, a duffel bag is both useful and fashionable. Continue reading to learn why you require a duffel bag as well as where to get one.

What exactly is a duffle bag?

A duffle handbag is typically cylindrical and slung over the shoulder. It can be created from different materials, although it is often composed of leather, canvas, cotton, or polyester.

This is why you require one:

Duffle bags provide convenience, simplicity, and a large amount of storage. They are perfect for every situation and, in particular, travel with luggage weight limits because of their durability.

They come in a variety of designs and can be made from a range of materials, including canvas, suede, or leather. But durability is one thing you can rely on with duffle handbags, regardless of the type you select. Additionally, the fact that these purses are flat and take up little room doesn't hurt! Carry duffle handbags around town or put them under your bed since they never seem to go out of style or break down.

The benefits of duffel bags

Huge and simple to pack - The spaciousness of duffel bags is one of their greatest features. They are ideal for travelers who want a lot of space for big luggage because of their cylindrical and unstructured design.

Fashionable - Although duffel bags aren't typically associated with elegance, there are stylish duffel bags. Your outfit may gain some flair by using a duffel bag.

Flexible - Unlike a suitcase, which has a somewhat more solid structure, a duffel bag is flexible, making it simple to cram into tight places.

About MFPA

The MFPA cultivates in its members a sense of self-respect and dignity that comes from being able to sustain themselves financially via the sale of their work without the help of any charity, according to information on the organization.

The MFPA has a substantial fan base of fans and backers who are conscious of and supportive of the challenging lives and extraordinary achievements of its artists. 

The Honorable Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi, the Honorable Presidents of India, Mr. Ram Nath Kovind, Dr. Abdul Kalam, and Mrs. Prathibha Patil, the Pope, Pierce Brosnan, HRH Prince Harry, Queen Sofia of Spain, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Amitabh Bachchan, HRH Prince Charles, Sir Geoffrey Boycott, and Prince William Duke of Cambridge and Rafael Nadal are among those who have met with or honored the lives of the MFPA artists.

The Guildhall Art Gallery in London, the Council of Europe in France, the Palace of Nations in Geneva, the Town Hall in Madrid, the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney have all featured paintings and other artwork by the MFPA.

Conclusion

An ideal alternative to a backpack or other handbag is a duffel bag. You may carry a lot of items on them without worrying about damaging them since they are strong and resilient. No matter if you're going on vacation or just going about your everyday activities, having one of these bags on hand will make your life simpler.

Therefore, if you're considering purchasing a unique item, think carefully. Visit the MFPA website to learn more! These stunning purses have artwork made with their mouths and feet by artists with special needs. As a consequence, you'll benefit from a lovely handbag while also helping a worthwhile cause.
