homestar art from a whiteboard session on my server TEEHEE

[lord-luci]

got a contacts prescription and was *so excited* to finally be able to see without getting constant migraines (the space between my eyeball and the glasses lens really fucks up my brain and causes heinous eye strain)

only to discover that contacts in my prescription don't actually exist for any price that's even remotely affordable for me

[fantastic-mr-corvid]

Thinking about rough prices for future commission sheet, and my art app only records the time your pen is touching the screen and drawing... from about a year ago I timed myself and the actual time is roughly 5 times that. Guess I'll just have to remember to time myself on my next few drawings

ON A MUCH MORE CHEERFUL NOTE. New bank = can directly transfer commission funds onto card = could actually consider art as a second job now.

"...The Government spends one dollar($1) to buy twenty-seven cents(27¢). A terrible deal one shouldn't do even once,..." Phrasing it like a profit-and-loss dynamic seems to misunderstand that minting money isn't a money-making business. It's a normal state expense in the maintenance and control of a given market. It's a tool that sovereignties use in the struggle of powers between each other. And at the end of the day, all the coins and bills are just jingly things we use to go about our daily lives with. Sometimes coins are all you can use, and bills are all you've got, and you'll gladly take a loss just to catch a bus.

just saw a really stupid post on tumblr where someone showed the prices of vegetables in china and how, when converted to US dollars, only costs a couple of cents, and the post was like, "ugh why must us americans suffer such high prices when the rest of the world doesn't !!!" and it's like. you are aware that you come from a country with an extremely strong currency, yes ? and that, just bc a loaf of bread costs R20 (or 1.06 USD) here in south africa, that doesn't make it affordable to the average working class south african, just bc it seems cheap to you, yes ? u are aware that many ppl around the world make wayyyyy less than even the minimum wage american, yes ? that, even though you may be struggling financially in ur country, ur dollar still has significant power over the majority of the currencies around the world. yes ?

[coockie8]

Currently a Canadian dollar is worth 74 cents american, which means the US dollar is worth more, because 74 pennies usd have the same value as 100 pennies cad. You can buy 100 Canadian pennies with 74 American pennies, so each Canadian penny is worth less?

So the 372 dollars usd is enough to buy 500 dollars cad, because the American dollar is worth more

Okay, I'm just gonna blame long Covid and grief brain on the fact this reads like hieroglyphics to me lol

It's nothing you're doing wrong, I'm just buffering hard, and I'm sure this will make perfect sense tomorrow haha

[dlxxv-vetted-donations]

Urgent: @rewaa04's family currently have no tent and are suffering from rain (soon to become snow). Fundraising is very slow and they receive donations of USD $5-10 over days.

Rewaa needs USD $9,859 in her campaign (extra fees included) to buy a strong tent that can withstand wind and storms.

Vetted • gfm: Paypal, Venmo, credit/debit

Slightly more details:

Fees: If I understood correctly, there's a 3% commission fee and exploitative merchants charge up to 15%. I've rounded this up to 20% in total. Before this, there are gfm fees of 2.9% and $0.3 per donation.

Dec 1:

Qatari tent: $1,500 base fee → $2,050 including fees → $9,859 in campaign

The family's previous tent collapsed in the summer and they desperately need a new one as they're exposed to the elements. They're looking at a Qatari tent which is made of leather and can withstand rain and storms. However, fundraising progress is extremely slow and they receive donations of USD $5-10 over days.

every day i wake up and dont buy a funko pop and tomorrow will be the same

[soup-mother]

there's no nice eye catching art, just my words.

I've been talking to Dina Alanqar @zinaanqar

Dina has been living in Gaza with her husband and four children. she lost her parents and four sisters, and had to give birth to her youngest child Ronza during the war.

at time of writing they've raised about €82,642 out of their €100K goal to leave Gaza, for travel and accomodation expenses, and to survive in the meantime.

their campaign is vetted here, at number 264:

€5 = USD$5.25 AUD$8.19 GBP£4.12

€10 = USD$10.51 AUD$16.39 GBP£8.24

i know in many places Euros can be hard with conversions and fees but just a bit can go a long way.

especially if you're somewhere with a strong currency, please consider donating. it helps a lot ❤️❤️

I'm posting this now for friends in Europe, and scheduling reblogs for better visibility from the Americas and Pacific timezones. thank you everyone!

JUST 5 DOLLARS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE... ARE YOU ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TODAY?

SAMAH'S FAMILY IS IN SEVERE NEED OF SUPPORT

Sama and her family are facing harsh conditions in the heart of war and destruction in Gaza. The family consists of five members: her husband, her two daughters (9 and 2 years old), and her newborn son, who was born in a tent amidst continuous bombing. Heavy rains and strong winds are battering the tent, which is unfit for living, putting their lives at constant risk. With children present, the situation becomes even more difficult.

They have been displaced multiple times, each time facing the same threats. The children are exposed to diseases due to lack of healthcare, and they do not have enough clothes for the winter. The family is also suffering from a severe shortage of all essential supplies needed for survival.

8,616 USD RAISED OF 9,000 USD

Only 384 USD left to reach the 9,000 USD goal (8,616 USD raised, expected to reach today)

Thank you all
