I mean, I could FEEL in my bones first time I heard his music (specifically Lyin’ Awake) that he was Southern. Then, I talked to him in Iowa last year and he confirmed. On the way back I learned he is Brian Barbarin. I CANNOT STATE ENOUGH!!!!! How much of music royalty the Barbarins are. At least to me, BUT THEY SHOULD BE TO YOU TOO!!!!! The whole family has been in famous jazz bands and other projects like The Onward Brass Band or the Four Tones. One of the Barbarins also wrote two of the most famous southern music pieces. Adolphe Barbarin wrote The Second Line and Bourbon Street Parade. You cannot EXIST in New Orleans or any Mardis Gras adjacent celebrations without hearing these pieces. They are, at least to me, two of the best jazz pieces -like- ever. And the family is in all sorts of musical genres, but funk and jazz remain my favorites of theirs.

YOU🫵'RE 🫵 NE->XT.!! moTHERFUCKER!!!!

go to discord support ( https://support.discord.com )

sign in or sign up (you do not, and imo should not, use the name and email you use for discord proper. this is a different account; if you've got Firefox, you can use an email relay mask very easily, and the email will end up in your inbox but the site won't know your email from it)

"Submit a request" (at the top)

fill all the dropdowns (I did "Help & Support" -> "Technical Support" -> "Account Settings" -> "[OS type"). it won't let you proceed until you do

Subject line: something about age verification

description box: keep it civil, but be clear. you don't like this, you're not participating, and you're not giving them your money anymore (whether you had nitro or not is irrelevant, remember that you didn't use your actual discord login to get here and they have no way to verify).

some reasons possibly worth mentioning: the insecurity of databases (Discord's had multiple leaks; databases being hacked isn't possible to prevent afaik, it's a matter of mitigation), the dangers of putting one's govt id on such a database, the technical problems people are already experiencing where it's already been established, how it will disrupt communities

be very clear that this is going to cost them money. "I won't use your service anymore" is a common threat ("I'm never shopping here again!") - you need to make them feel that they are losing money just by considering it, and it will get much worse if it's implemented.

Fanart of @garecc ‘s “the beach fic” <33 which can be read in the link below :33

wanted to kinda crystallise the vibes of the scene in the colourowork of the comic page but it ended up making the spine look super sunburnt lol

also major credit to @saym0-0 ‘s robot designs from the illustrations in the fic since I closely referenced those for how I drew them ^^

also also heres the colour prep sheet because why the hell not :P look at my sillies

Because of serious medical hardships, my mom and I are now facing a 10,000 dollar backpay on our home. My mom just got home from almost two months in the hospital due to a stroke, and other underlying conditions ( IE Hemispheric Migraines causing Paralysis on the left side of her body. )

Because of this she has lost her job, and my income is not enough to pull us out of the hole we’re in.

I’ve already drained my savings and paid 2,000 off of the 10,000, but I only get paid bi-weekly, and our forbearance ends on the 30th with no extensions.

I do not expect the full amount through this, but at this point, I’ve run out of options. If my posts have ever made you chuckle or exhale from the nose, please spread this around as much as you can if nothing else so my mom and I can continue to have a roof over our heads.
