A diagram comparing a human hand to the equivalent limb in other mammals from Henry Fairfield Osborn's The age of mammals in Europe, Asia and North America (1910).

I'm desperate to get out of the heat, so half off or 2 for one, your choice until 6pm mst. I don't have enough money to leave for a room tonight or food of any kind.

PayPal has frozen my payouts. So I can't receive any of it. All I've had is a bottle of water!

I need money for a hotel room tonight. Call me manipulative, I'm not okay right now and every second I'm not sleeping I'm building a logical case for ending my life. I need to make sure I sleep every night.

Room is going to be $200 with $50 deposit included in that. If I had an extra $100 I'd get food and more art supplies.

Artwork prices are very negotiable because of my ongoing unhoused crisis.

Ok I put this on FB but it can't hurt to put here too. We need help with Fantine!

Dog location: Northeast Georgia, just outside metro Atlanta and near the NC/TN/SC borders. TL;DR: Really sweet stray dog has ringworm; current foster is immune compromised; need someone to help by housing her for the duration of her treatment. Only need a short-term foster (approximately a month is the estimate for ringworm treatment? up to six weeks, I guess) and we can help find a permanent placement for her when her treatment is complete.

Details: Fantine is a stray dog we have been fostering for about the last month, she has a wonderful temperament (very sweet and trusting with people, quite resilient, friendly to all the dogs she has met) and is about a year and a half old. She has had all her vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm treatment and was spayed almost three weeks ago. and is healing up from it really well.

She's also ringworm positive, and I have some serious immune-related health conditions. The vet who diagnosed her was worried about her staying in the house with me even though she has been in quarantined in the laundry room and we are being very cautious about biosecurity.

Sure! Basically since Rudi has EMS and had laminitis last year, grass is pretty much off the table for her.

So our solution this year was to put the easy keepers who needed to loose weight in a chunck of forest we fenced in.

Up here they have a straw bed on the top, and an automatic waterer down the hill closest to the stable. We hang weighed up small hole hay nets once a day. The rest of the time they forage for leaves from the trees and straw.

I have a gps tracker on Rudi so i can monitor her movement, and they consistently move about 7-8km every day. In comparison, when they are in their winter paddock she only moves about 4-5km a day.

Poop we havent really done anything about, it's quite a good sized area so it's not much of a problem to leave it.

I need $400 so...I'll let these 22"x 30" go for $400.

I haven't slept since Sunday night. I'm nearly falling asleep on my feet.

Instead of sales, I'm further away from a room. My net worth is currently $15. The room is $193, including taxes.

This is chat gpt trash prompted to “sound Japanese” and it’s based off of racist old movie dialogue. There’s zero correlation here to Japanese grammar and how Japanese translates into English or how a native speaker of Japan uses English. It’s slop. It’s racist ai slop rehashing Western exceptionalism, fantasizing about a Japanese person being in awe of how great the USA is. It’s depressing that people fell for this. I know it feels good to think that other people like us, and sometimes they do, but this only works if you assume Japanese people have extremely limited experience and worldview. It’s mortifying.

Things are dire.

I haven't eaten yet and it's after 6pm. This is my entire net worth is $.66 and I need a room for the night.

I'm also very much aware that the antisemitic stalker is redoubling their efforts to destroy every aspect of my life. I may just be hungry but I want to die. I feel so hopeless. I've spent all day in a restaurant I can't afford to eat at.

If you are inspired to help or buy or make a payment on a piece I need the cash with intense IMMEDIACY.

What if I made it 2 11"x 14" paintings?

So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.

My entire net worth, tonight in an airbnb, the nights of the 16th, 17th, and 18th.

Buy art, support an unhoused, autistic artist.

people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.

we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.

the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?

It's nearly 3am, I'm cold, Exhausted, and couldn't pay for the hotel because of incidentals deposit. So now $50 short, I had to leave. I'm now in a worse area. Please help me get somewhere, please. Please.

I guess this is where I'm spending the night. Alone, outside, in the could. I was generously given money for a sweater. I don't know where to buy one at 12:30am in Denver.

It's 9:30pm 10pm 10:40pm 11:11pm (properly terrified, and cold no sweater and it's chilly) and after a Zillow mugging I still need like $200 for a room tonight. I'll let you have almost any painting I have in storage if you Venmo $200, name, address and top 3 painting choices. I can get it out of storage and ship almost anything tomorrow.

She spent over 30 years doing this. For 30 years she didn’t work outside the home. She didn’t know the terms of their lease. She didn’t have the passwords to “their” bank account(s), “their” assets.

He left her when she was in her fifties.

He said that he needed time to reflect and moved out of their house, but told her to focus on getting their last kid through high school (still homeschooled!) and he would take care of everything.

She reached out to the landlord months later asking where the lease renewal was only to find out it wasn’t getting renewed. Because her husband hadn’t paid the rent in OVER NINE MONTHS. The whole time he was promising her he was still taking care of her.

She and her sixteen year old youngest son found out they had to move out of their house with 3 weeks’ notice. She didn’t have a job or work experience or a degree or any idea how to get these things in 3 weeks. She didn’t own her own car. If she had not had friends to take her in, she and her son would have been literally out on the street.

It ruined that friendship, too. It’s a lot to ask someone to put you up indefinitely while you try to put your life together. She burned a lot of bridges taking what anyone would or could give because she had no other choice.

She did, eventually, hard years later, get on her feet again. But it will always be hard and she will never be where she could have been in life if she’d done things differently.
