no climax, no point, no meaning

@gazavetters Vetted List lists Ahmed and his family at #740.

And it pisses you off because bruh how am I supposed to practice this shit if I can't even do this first couple of fucking lines to make a good cylinder.

And then you start drawing and it sucks and you keep doing it, and you learn new skills and tricks, and you even end up developing an art style naturally (which they told you you would do, and you didn't believe them, but it came free with the constantly drawing in a way that made you comfortable and learning the medium).

They were a continuation of the Egyptian tradition of funerary masks but rather than sculpting them and making them of precious metals, they began painting these lifelike portraits.

It’s hotly debated whether this is an example of Greco-Roman realist style imposed on their subjects, or a home grown Egyptian development of their own ancient tradition. Those who say it’s more Egyptian than Roman point out that there’s no surviving paintings in the rest of the Roman Empire that were this realistic. Those who say it’s more Roman than Egyptian point out the arid climate left these portraits intact, and beleive the others in the rest of the empire were lost.

Personally I think you can call them Egyptian because these people, whether of Roman or ancient Egyptian descent, are still the ancestors of the modern Egyptians today.

I feel small and pathetic asking again, but. this is all I can currently do to help us. my girlfriend and I are living out of a hotel after she saved me from becoming homeless again in February. we've been able to barely scrape by on the hotel's weekly rates, but it's really not sustainable, especially as rates continue climbing in the summer. we had to book two separate stays for this week, and we simply don't have the money to cover the rate as well as the 2 deposits. each deposit is $100, and it would be mostly fine if it didn't take several days for that hold to be returned to my girlfriend's account. the stay itself is $740 for just this week. if I didn't have food stamps we actively wouldn't be able to survive off what she makes. look I... I don't want her to start selling off her treasured possessions to keep me off the street. she's sold so goddamn many magic cards already. I'm just asking. if anybody can spare it, to help us make it through what I'm desperately hoping is the last few hurdles before we find more stable housing, you'd be added to the ever-growing list of people I owe my life to. thank you for reading, info below the cut

tl;dr trans woman in desperate need of donations

Hi!! I'm a disabled trans woman who writes smut, makes zines, does photography, does sex work, and recently started streaming games. But because of a recent hate campaign by a bunch of terfs, I have been banned from PayPal and venmo and can't really make money off of those things anymore. I've been struggling for months looking for a job, but being disabled it's been hard to find something.

I'm in desperate need for money for the two bills above, and rent, and meds, and groceries. If there's any way I can get help with these things I'd be eternally grateful. Anything you can give is a huge help.
