some can only live in songs of love or trouble

hbomberguy and co are over on bluesky pedojacketing patricia taxxon because she called him out for underpaying her as a freelancer for several years (including when she was a fucking teenager)

The posts about being underpaid came after Hbomb made his post, and after the dogpile was well underway. I think it deserves to be republished here, because it really is a dreadful instance of an artist being undercompensated:

Hbomb's post would be indefensible either way, but I think laying out the order of events illuminates things even further. Patricia Taxxon would be well within her right to call out being underpaid at any time, but as it stands she brought it up after Hbomberguy and his producer* contributed to the harrassment campaign against her. I would bet money that this is why Lily Alexandre deleted her post - because it validates Patricia's claim of underpayment that she posted in response to Hbomb pedojacketing her.

What we have here is a woman being piled on for the crime of venting that a man - who she did not even name - treated her poorly. "Lefttube" my ass.

[Also, while Patricia's account is currently deactivated, it is archived thoroughly on the Wayback Machine. I've seen people asking "posts, are deleted, what happened" and I'd direct them to Patricia's words on the matter.]

Please take a moment to read!

Hello, everyone. I’d like to bring you an update on Mona’s (@mohammedshehabtt’s) situation. The circumstances in Palestine is still incredibly dire, and Mona needs your help to keep her family safe and happy. They’ve faced multiple displacements, failed campaigns, and the constant threat of starvation and violence. Mona’s goal right now is to help her children continue their education. Her two daughters, Iman and Toleen, have been unable to go to school since the attacks started. Mona’s found a school that hasn’t been destroyed by Israel’s bombings, and she needs help to pay the enrollment fees. Schooling has been practically nonexistent under Israel’s bombardment, and finding a safe school for Mona’s children to attend is a golden opportunity.

Your donations can help Iman and Toleen get the education they deserve. Any amount contributed, no matter how small, will help Mona’s family stay fed, homed, and educated.

Mona’s campaign is #111 on GazaVetter’s list of verified fundraisers. You can donate here.

Here is an entire youtube playlist by Mannof1000Thoughts with a ton of indie animation videos AND a livestream he did where he watched some with the creators!!!

For games, there are TONS of lists out there like these:

0/30 for household essentials

0/69 for overdraft

I am currently dragging a collective debt of about 300$ (this covers phone bills, impromptu repairs, and recurring payments). I truly live within the urgency of financial instability and consistent abuse (my mother installed a camera in the kitchen) which means I'm grateful for all communal support.

11/900$

Fundraising on tumblr is survival. When tumblr deletes the blogs of people in Gaza, that is participation in genocide. It is unconscionable.

Fadel's new blog is @fadell-aldany. Please follow him there and send him a message of encouragement. He has been on tumblr for years and has lost all of his connections.

He's in the hospital because his blood count is so low from going too long without his blood medication and proper nutrition. He desperately needs funds, and he cannot raise them if no one finds his blog. Fadel's campaign (gazavetters #197) is hosted by a friend of mine. I am texting with Fadel right now as I type this, and I personally can confirm that this new account is really him.

Black woman trying to stay housed after my hours were cut at work. I’m raising funds to cover rent. The main goal right now is raising $70 for back rent plus June’s $900 rent by the 1st.

$830.11 / $1,800 raised 🖤

Anything helps, including shares/boosts.

Our commissions are officially open! (again...)

we're 18 and living on our own in an apartment (albeit with support) and we do not have a job nor the ability to get one currently. art is currently our only form of income other than disability money that is currently not even paying us what theyre supposed to be paying us and is therefore not giving us enough to Live. so.!

go here ^ and spend money on us (£25) and we will draw you something like this v

or maybe even like this if you spend more of it (£60) v

thank you so much for the support earlier this month. we may have a home on the horizon with most expenses paid, so we need support to get through until then as we will be moving states.

outside of moving costs, we need to take our cats to the vet, our car to the shop, cover rent and bills as we pack up, etc. i will put more details in the GFM, but as such we are really hoping to clear our campaign by the end of June. please consider sharing. every dollar helps, and every share gets us closer to a dollar. pls consider us if u have it to spare
