and this species has never eaten salad before. and we show them salad and they eat it and they’re like holy living fuck this is tasty. and suddenly they’re offering us huge houses with all kind of advanced technological shit and incredible medical care and all the amenities and everything, with the only condition that we keep making salad for them.

and like, salad isn’t even hard to make. grab some plants, dump em in a bowl. it doesn’t have to be fancy salad, they’ll fall all over themselves for the most mediocre salad in the world. we can make so much salad that we’re practically drowning in it, even if we eat some of the salad ourselves. and in exchange we’re protected from danger, we have great living conditions, it’s basically paradise compared to life on earth

Ask yourself, how does this piece make you feel? (No wrong answers)

Look for an artist statement nearby. What does it say about the artist and their relationship to their work? What does the artist say that they are trying to convey with their art? What contextual clues can you pick up from what they say about their background, or what they omit?

Look at the title of the piece. What is the artist saying about their work by naming it that, either explicitly or implicitly?

Look at the medium. Is there anything about the piece that stands out to you, knowing what it's made of?

Look at the year it was made. What cultural events might have been happening around this time? Was this piece part of a particular art movement? What was the purpose of that art movement, and what was it trying to say?

hi!! I'm TDF and I'm physically disabled and living under the poverty line. My income adds up to about 1/3 of the local minimum wage.

I am stuck in bed most of the time because my physical health is so bad, and I have expenses nondisabled people don't.

(sorry to copy from my last post but I'm SO sick rn & can't think of a better way to share that info 😅)

hi!

I am incredibly stressed rn.

bc I've already had to borrow money to cover urgent necessities and I'm once again low on several meds and there's one that's more expensive rn bc I am sicker than usual!

and i don't quite have enough protein bars to meet my own protein/fiber minimums for this week

and i also have 3x the mouths to feed as usual and 2 of them have very restrictive and therefore expensive diets due to health needs.

so really any help at all (from an adult who can comfortably afford it) would be deeply appreciated!!

rn Walmart or Amazon cards, or protein bars, would help the most, but I'd be so grateful for anything!!

I'm almost out of the antacid that helps w some of the problems caused by cheap food, as well as throat numbing spray to help with the strep-like sore throat I get from my autoimmune stuff, which is unusually bad rn.

I'm almost out of some of my supplements as well, and hygiene/cleaning stuff like facial tissues (using a lot rn) and Lysol wipes. completely out of oxiclean and a few other hygiene/cleaning items.
