The downside of the first one would mainly be that it'd require shipping costs for the book if it was re-covered.

I'm going to be reblogging this a few times, but I'm thinking about my future as a part-time, disabled worker and wanting to try some avenues to potentially have supplemental income streams, and I'm interested in potentially A) reopening commissions and B) setting up a store for some art adjacent things I could potentially make.

SO, this will be a thread with several reblogs (so please check the notes!) about what sorts of stuff (goods and services) y'all might want to buy from me potentially.

For the moment I'm trying to stick to stuff that I could more or less produce myself at fairly low cost because I'm kinda nervous about the idea of outsourcing to dubiously-ethical companies mass producing stuff to make that happen, so that slightly limits offerings.

I would also want to reassess some of my commission prices as I've gotten feedback from some folks that I have lowballed so I'll start with that.

For the famous/classic stuff I'd be focusing on public domain stuff for legal reasons + otherwise go by those kinds of "most popular/well known books over time" type lists. I could apply for fan art stuff but I'd again want to narrow down what people might like and would have to go through a process of getting permission to sell it from the copyright holder, which can be done but might take longer if I'm not going through redbubble etc.

THE END OF THE THREAD. PLEASE RB & VOTE ON THIS VERSION!

I have also NOTICED AN ERROR: That you can only vote once for each type of thing!

If there are multiple of these things within one category (multiple kinds of sticker eg) please COMMENT to let me know what others you'd want so I can count that.

The Brittish goverment was unwilling to do anything for two reasons. First was the laissez-faire capitalistic ideology, that put the rights of property owners to make profits above human lives. Rent freeze was unthinkable and they even were unwilling to do proper relief efforts as free food would lower the cost of food. The second reason was distain for the Irish, and the thought that they were “breeding too much” and the famine was a natural way to trim down the population, aka genocidal reasoning.

This is why it’s important to stress it was not a potato famine. The potato blinght was all over Europe but only in Ireland there was a famine. The reasons behind it had nothing to do with potatos and everything to do with the Brittish.

Apparently what made Choctaw want to offer relief to Irish was the news about the Doolough Tragedy. Hundreds of starving people were gathered for inspection to verify they were entitled to recieve relief. The officials would for *some reason* not do that and instead left to a hunting lodge 19 kilometers away to spend the night and said to the starvqing people they would have to walk there by morning to be inspected. The weather conditions were terrible and many of them died completely needlessly during the walk thoroung day and night.

This apparently reminded the Choctaw of their own very recent (and much more explicit and bigger scale) experiences of ethnic clensing, where they were forcibly relocated. It was basically a death march and thousands of Choctaw died from the terrible conditions also completely needlessly.

In 2015 a memorial named Kindred Spirits was installed in Southern Ireland to commemorate the Chactow donation.

Then in 2020:
