This is the Truest of Truths.

After some excessive pestering by my sibling, I finally made my own Tumblr. Not sure what will be in it, but it will most likely be random or in someway be related to my life or my random sibling. (I swear she is the definition of random.) Also for those that want to know it, here is a link to my deviantART account: http://orana.deviantart.com/

                               From the Desk of Erin O'Toole

My Name                                                                        September 3, 2021 My Address My Postal Code

Dear My Name,

    It's the only question that matters this election. And only YOU can answer it...

    Whom do you TRUST with Canada's economic recovery?

    During this campaign, I've been honest and straightforward with you about how I plan to rebuild our economy, bring back jobs, and Secure the Future for you and your family.

    It's called Canada's Recovery Plan, it's the Conservative Party's roadmap to get our country back on track after COVID-19.

    You may recall that I shared some of the highlights from Canada's Recovery Plan, -- one million recovered jobs in a year, support for every sector of the economy, and more help for small businesses -- with you in my last letter.

    Or maybe you've seen me talk about Canada's Recovery Plan in the news.

    But while I've worked hard to be fully transparent about my plan for Canada's recovery, Justin Trudeau and his NDP and Green allies have not.

    And now, I fear that if the Trudeau Liberals, the NDP and Greens, are given a blank cheque to do whatever they want to the economy after this election, Canada will NEVER recover.

    That's why I'm writing you a third time.

    I'm determined to earn your support for Canada's Recovery Plan because the stakes are too high for you and your loved ones.

    Yes, it's true that in most elections, political parties spend millions of dollars trying to convince you to vote AGAINST something.

[Page 1 Back]     That's what the Liberals, NDP, and Greens do when they drudge up long-settled social issues to try and scare Canadians with angry, American-style political attacks. They're doing it right now!!

    But in this election, there's already enough for you to vote against. You don't need me to remind you of the laundry list of scandals and economic failures that have dominated the headlines these past few years.

    That's why, in this critical election, I'm not turning to the tired old political playbook and asking you to vote against someone or something.

    This time, I'm asking you to vote FOR something.

    I'm asking you to vote FOR Canada's Recovery Plan. I'm asking you to cast your ballot for a plan that

# Places jobs and growth at the centre of our recovery by making our tax system more competitive, investing in small business, reducing red tape, and building up our infrastructure;

# Fights for every sector of our economy and every industry - including the ones that aren't politically correct or politically popular enough for Justin Trudeau to defend;

# Puts our country on the path to a balanced budget over the long term by growing our way out of Justin Trudeau's economic mess while protecting the things Canadians depend on, like healthcare, education, and supports for our seniors; and

# Ends our reliance on predatory countries like Communist China and brings jobs and investment back to our country by reigniting the economic engine of our nation, which has always been powered by traditional industries, like energy, manufacturing, fishing, forestry, and mining.

    Canada's Recovery Plan is exactly what our country needs right now. It is, I truly believe, our only hope to get our economy out of the COVID mess.

    How can I make such a claim? Let me explain...

[Page 2 Front]     At every stage of this pandemic, I've sat across the aisle from the Liberals, NDP, and Greens in the House of Commons. I've looked Justin Trudeau in the eye and gone toe-to-toe with him during some of the most consequential debates and discussions in Canada's history.

    Here's what I learned: The sad truth is the Trudeau Liberals, the NDP, and the Greens don't WANT our pre-COVID economy to come back.

    For the Liberals, NDP, and Greens, COVID is a once-in-a-generation chance to break our economy - for good.

    They want to take advantage of the pandemic to kill jobs they don't like, conduct risky experiments that win them support among special interest groups but hurt everyday families, and help them take care of their insider friends.

    That's why they don't want to debate economic ideas in this campaign...

... why Justin Trudeau wants to "reimagine" our economy instead of rebuilding it...

... why the Liberal Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister referred to COVID as an "opportunity..."

... why the Liberals, NDP, and Greens refuse to fight for certain sectors of our economy, even if it means they die forever...

... and, most of all, it's why Canada's Recovery Plan scares them so much.

    The Liberals, NDP, and Greens know that is people like you support Canada's Recovery Plan, their dreams of allowing all the things they didn't like about our pre-COVID economy to die will fail, and our country will come roaring back.

    But if they defeat Canada's Recovery Plan in this election, they'll be free to do whatever they want to our economy. What a terrifying thought!

    At the beginning of this letter, I told you the most important question in this election campaign is "Whom do you TRUST with Canada's economic recovery?"

[Page 2 Back]     How can you trust Justin Trudeau and his NDP and Green allies to save an economy that, deep down, they don't even WANT to come back?

    I haven't given up on Canada's economy and I haven't given up on Canadians. How about you?

    Please, with our economic future hanging in the balance in this crucial election, I humbly urge you to show your support for Canada's Recovery Plan by voting for your local Conservative candidate.

    With my whole heart, I believe we can Secure the Future and ensure our post-COVID Canada is stronger than ever. But our economy will never bounce back without your vote of support for Canada's Recovery Plan. Thank you.

                                                                                   Sincerely,

                                                                              Erin O'Toole

                                                                            Hon. Erin O'Toole,

                                                           Leader of Canada's Conservatives &

                                                           Author of Canada's Recovery Plan

P.S. The other day, someone asked me why I've put forward such a detailed plan in this election. They told me woters want politicians to keep things "high level" and boil all their points down to "sound bytes." Here's my answer...

At this time in our history, with so many challenges before us I believe you deserve to know exactly what a potential Prime Minister plans to do to Secure the Future and get our country back on track after COVID.

It's about trust.

That's why Canada's Recovery Plan is so detailed. I encourage you to check it out at www.conservative.ca.

And, most of all, if you agree that Canada needs a detailed plan to ensure our economy comes back to life, then I urge you to vote for Canada's Recovery Plan and your local Conservative candidate.

                                From the Desk of Erin O'Toole

My Name                                                                  August 20, 2021 My Address City Province Postal Code

Dear My Name,

      What happens now...?

      More than anything else, that's the question Canadians ask me when I speak with them about the future.

      Most Canadians - including me - supported spending money during the pandemic to help those hardest hit and prevent a total collapse of our economy.

      You probably did, too, right?

      But no one told Justin Trudeau's Liberals - and their allies in the NDP and Green Party - planned for that spending to go on FOREVER...

      ... and no one told you that, even after the worst of COVID-19 was behind us, the Liberals, NDP, and Greens planned to exploit the pandemic for risky economic experiments...

      ... and no one told you that, instead of focusing on a recovery that works for all Canadians, the Liberals, NDP and Greens would mortgage your financial future to finance a big-spending wish-list, dreamt up behind closed doors.

      My Name, they didn't tell you any of that.

      Did they?

      Let's face it... The Liberals, NDP and Greens never told the truth about their big-spending agenda for a post-COVID Canada.

      And when you cast your ballot, you'll have a chance to let them know what you think about them breaking your trust.

[Page 1 back]

      But, in the meantime, I'm writing because I want to be straight with you about Canada's Recovery Plan.

      You may be familiar with some aspects of Canada's Recovery Plan. I sent you a letter just like this one a few weeks back to tell you about it.

      It's the Conservative Party's detailed plan to put our country on the path to fiscal stability by focusing on the jobs, wages, and Securing the Future for all Canadians. And it's designed to help you right now.

      Of course, you likely have questions about how Canada's Recovery Plan will work - and what it means for you...

      That's why, shortly, I'll share with you the specific details about the plan and about how Conservatives will continue to support those hardest hit by the pandemic while returning to a balanced budget over the long term.

      But first, I think it's important I tell you what I believe this election is all about --- and why I'm so determined to earn your support for Canada's Recovery Plan...

      This election is about the economy. And it all boils down to a single choice that YOU must make. You have only two options:

              1) Make our pandemic-era spending - and all the debt and deficits that                    come with it - permannent.That's what you'll get with the Trudeau                          Liberals, NDP, and Greens who have NO PLAN to control public                          spending and NO PLAN to create new jobs.

                  Or...

              2) A plan to create jobs, Secure the Future, and return to balanced                            budgets with a careful, cautious, long-term approach. That's what                        you'll get with a new Conservative Government, focused on                                  implementing Canada's Recovery Plan.

      My friend, I hope you will agree with me when I say that, at this crucial time, Canada can't afford four more years of a Prime Minister who lacks the sense of responsibility, long-term vision, and economic competence required to steer our recovery.

      And we can't afford to send more NDP and Green MPs - who do whatever Justin Trudeau wants - to Parliament!

[Page 2 front]

      Here's a startling statistic.

      According to Bloomberg News, very soon Justin Trudeau will probably have accumulated more debt than all 22 Prime Ministers who came before him COMBINED.

      If we don't change now, I'm afraid Canada will never recover and, for too many, our dreams of "back to normal" will never be realized. But it gets worse...

      Without a plan to Secure the Future, I'm afraid our children and grandchildren will be members of the first generation in our history to inherit a Canada that's weaker, more unstable, and with less opportunity than the one you grew up in.

That's why I say this election is about the economy,

That's why now, more than ever, I believe Canada needs a new government with a plan to Secure the Future, and

That's why I truly believe our country needs you to support Canada's Recovery Plan in this crucial election.

      Canada's Recovery Plan will:

Recover the 1 million jobs lost during the pandemic in one year by overhauling our tax system, reducing red tape, building infrastructure, helping companies expand exports, encouraging the safe development of our resources, and much more!

Balance the budget over the next decade by growing our tax base through more jobs and higher wages. Canada's Conservatives will carefully and responsibly phase out emergency spending - and we won't cut transfers to the provinces, like the Liberals did the last time they were faced with a large deficit!

In fact, under Canada's Recovery Plan, almost 90% of the federal budget deficit will be erased by repairing the economy.

Create opportunity for all sectors of the economy including in the industries Justin Trudeau left

[Page 2 back]

behind, like energy, forestry, mining, fishing, and manufacturing.

Support small businesses by incentivizing Canadians to invest in new businesses, providing loans to small businesses in the tourism, hospitality, and retail sectors, and making it easier to start a business in Canada.

      My friend, the ideas I've presented you with today are just a small sampling of what's included in Canada's Recovery Plan, which you can find online at wwww.conservative.ca.

      If you agree it's time for a new government that will focus on jobs, wages and helping Canadians right now, then I urge you to vote for Canada's Recovery Plan by casting your ballot for your local Conservative Candidate.

      Thank you. Let's get Canada back on track. Please keep an eye out for my next letter. I'll be getting in touch with you again soon.

                                                                                               Sincerely,

                                                                                           Erin O'Toole

                                                                                             Erin O'Toole,                                                              Leader of Canada's Conservatives &                                                                Author of Canada's Recovery Plan

P.S. This election is about our economy. The Liberals, NDP, and Greens want this election to be about anything else because they have NO PLAN for our recovery and NO PLAN to responsibly reduce public spending after the crisis.

That's why they're using harmful, American-style politics, built around divisive and long-settled social issues to distract from their economic failures. It's a disservice to millions of Canadians who want a fair, open, honest debate about how we're going to rebuild our economy and Secure the Future.

The Liberals, NDP, and Greens may want me to stop talking about the economy, but I refuse. You deserve no less.

If you agree with me when I say the single most important issue in this election is the economy, then I urge you to take a close look at Canada's Recovery Plan.

                                                       Erin O'Toole                                        Leader of Canada's Conservatives

My Name                                                                           August 6, 2021 My Address City Province Postal Code

Dear My Name,

         You have the right to know...

         When the pandemic struck, you did your part.

         You made the sacrifices asked of you, abided by the restrictions, and followed the rules.

         And, you held your tongue while Justin Trudeau borrowed heavily against your family's financial future... because he told you it was to help the Canadians hardest hit by the pandemic and stabilize our economy.          But should that COVID-era spending continue... forever?

         Regardless of your answer to that question, it goes without saying that never before has so much been asked of you, your family, and your fellow Canadians.

         Now, thanks to you and others like you, Canada has rounded the corner. While we must remain cautious, the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic is behind us.

Now, after all that, don't you think you have a right to know what comes next My Name?

          I do -- and that's why I'm writing you personally to share my vision for what should come next. It's called Canada's Recovery Plan.

[Page 1 back]

          In a moment, I'll tell you more about Canada's Recovery Plan and my mission to Secure the Future for you and your family.

         But first, please let me introduce myself.

         My name is Erin O'Toole. I'm the leader of the Conservative Party and I'm running to be Canada's next Prime Minister.

        I'm a husband, a father, and a Royal Canadian Air Force veteran. I grew up in a middle-class neighbourhood at a time when we looked out for one another.

       As a young man, I enlisted to serve our country in uniform, and worked hard so I could go on to earn a law degree. I was proud to be elected to Parliament in 2012.

       Today, as a candidate for Prime Minister, I am focused on our country's post-COVID economic recovery and on providing Canadians like you with the clarity and certainty you deserve after sacrificing so much during the pandemic.

      After all, you deserve nothing less than the straight truth from your political leaders. That's what I believe...

      ... but Justin Trudeau's Liberals and their coalition allies, the NDP and the Greens, don't see it that way.

      Instead of laying out a clear plan to help you and your family move on from the pandemic, Justin Trudeau went over your head, attending a United Nations Conference to tell world leaders the pandemic was "our chance to... reimagine economic systems."

      "Reimagine...?" What does he really mean by that?

       Of course, a fair-minded individual might say one simple statement like that could be dismissed as a slip of the tongue from a Prime Minister without a strong grasp of economic fundamentals. Fair enough.

      But I was especially concerned when Justin Trudeau's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister told a Liberal gathering the pandemic was a "political opportunity."

     Here's a question... if Justin Trudeau's plan to "reimagine" the economy is such an "opportunity," why won't he share it with you?

[Page 2 front]

     The answer, I fear, is simple... for the Trudeau Liberals, the NDP, and the Greens, "back to normal" isn't the plan.

     For them, the pandemic is a chance to conduct risky economic experiments that will help them win fans among entrenched special intersts and Hollywood celeberities, but hurt you and your family.

     And the Trudeau Liberals, NDP and Greens don't care how much of YOUR MONEY they have to spend through out-of-control deficits and billions of dollars in new debt to do it.

    You see, like most Canadians, I supported increased public spending at the height of the pandemic to help those COVID hurt the most and to keep our economy moving.

    It was the right thinkg to do.

    But Justin Trudeau and his allies -- the NDP and the Greens -- think our COVID-era spending should continue FOREVER!

   That's why I believe it's absolutely crucial we replace Justin Trudeau's Liberals with a new Conservative government that will implement Canada's Recovery Plan and responsibily balance the budget over the long term.

   That brings me back to the main point of my letter and the reason I'm writing you today...

   The Liberals, the NDP, and the Greens may not want to tell you the truth about their plan for a post-pandemic Canada. But I'm not afraid to show you mine.

   Canada's Recovery Plan will:

SECURE JOBS by recovering the 1 million jobs lost during the pandemic within one year. We'll take immediate action to boost sectors hardest hit by the pandemic, helping those who have suffered the most.

SECURE ACCOUNTABILITY by enacting the toughest ethical and transparency laws in Canada, including strengthening the lobbying act to end abuse by Liberal insiders.

SECURE MENTAL HEALTH by boosting funding to the provinces, incentivising employers to provide mental health coverage to employees, and creating a national three-digit suicide prevention hotline.

[Page 2 back]

SECURE THE COUNTRY by creating a stratigic stockpile of essential products and building the capacity to manufacture vaccines here at home.

SECURE THE ECONOMY by returning to a balanced budget over the next decade while protecting important programs Canadians rely on, like healthcare, education and supports for our seniors.

          Yes, Canada's Recovery Plan truly will Secure the Future for the country you and I both cherish so much.

         And you can count on Canada's Conservatives to do it by focusing on jobs, wages, and helping Canadians right now rather than a Liberal wish-list dreamt up behind closed doors in Ottawa...

        My friend, by now, I hope I have at least opened your mind to the possibility of voting for your local Conservative candidate in the upcoming election.

        In the weeks to come, I will write you again to share more details about Canada's Recovery Plan and to tell you more about how I intend to Secure the Future for you and your family. But for now, let me leave you with this...

        If you believe it's time for a government that is ready, willing, and able to implement Canada's Recovery Plan and get our country working again, then you have only one choice - Canada's Conservatives.

      I will be working very hard to earn your trust in the coming weeks. Thank you.

                                                                         Sincerely,

                                                                         Erin O'Toole

                                                                         Erin O'Toole,

                                                                         Leader of Canada's Conservatives

P.S. Justin Trudeau's Liberals and their coalition partners, the NDP and the Greens, don't TRUST you with the truth about their plans for the post-pandemic Canada...

Why should you TRUST them with your vote?

Tumblr did a thing, so I shared it.

[oranasartstorehouse]

Orana's House of Shirtnanigans

I started up a Teepublic account and I’m now selling shirts based on artwork of mine, as well as a couple pictures I have permission to use.

Check it out and if you do purchase a shirt or anything, a portion of the money goes directly to my paypal and I’ll be using that as a Moving Out fund.

Even if you can’t buy anything, let people know about it and thank you for taking the time to look at this.

[bloodlinemagick]

Yo!! I’m sure you’re already familiar with the dire straits my mother and I already in and have been homeless and living on the floor of a tiny room in my grandmother’s house alongside a family-known abuser who violently attacked my mother on the first day we moved in for two years now. If not, you can find a far longer and more detailed breakdown of finances, the situation, and links to evidence over HERE.

This post is to inform you all that the internet bill has hiked up by £10 to £40 a month, now shoving my monthly expenses into hovering around £400+ a month, an even more inexplicable amount of money for someone with the most minor temp income every now and then, despite years of searching for a permanent wage.

If you could at all donate to my mother and I it would give us, not only the money to survive day-to-day while I continue scraping together money from whatever I can, but also a chance to save to leave this horrible place and start to heal [both emotionally and physically, since living here we have developed constant pain and aches due to our horrible sleeping conditions].

You can donate via YouCaring HERE, via my paypal HERE, or sign up for FeaturePoints and open a few apps using my referral link HERE [on your phone, or using the code 9696AG when signing up], or SwagBucks HERE. 

Directly donating money, is, of course, the quickest way to donate money but if money is tight [ha ha, believe me, I know what that’s like], both FeaturePoints and SwagBucks are free and signing up with my referral links + earning yourself a few points on each sends a few points back to me which I can eventually redeem for Amazon cards [for their grocery section] or paypal cash [for literally everything else].

Thank you from the bottom of my heart if you do ANY of the above, or even just signal boost. It’s truly amazing that I get any donations or kind words at all and it’s no exaggeration that by doing so you’re literally helping us keep living.

SECONDLY:

Recently two good friends of mine are also being made homeless through no fault of their own and have been forced to give up all their cats for adoption and frantically search for a place. Money is, of course, exceptionally scarce and they need urgent help to move out. You can find a more detailed post from one of them HERE.

If you could at all spare any money to throw their way as well [or instead, if you simply must choose one or the other], please do so as quick as possible over HERE on GoFundMe or via Paypal using the address [email protected]

If you can somehow help both of us through any means, I will probably cry.

Please signal boost this post and share it as much as you can!! We’re both in completely terrible situations we really cannot get ourselves out of alone and exposure is desperately needed.

[fuckyeahgregoryhorrorshow]

Long-time followers of this blog are probably familiar with my friend’s situation as I have reblogged similar posts before. She is a dear friend of mine who has been in this both emotionally and physically damaging situation for far too long despite her best efforts to escape it. We’ve known each other for about five years now and I vouch for her and her situation.

I understand that money can be tight and that not everyone is comfortable donating money to people they don’t know. That’s why I would like to emphasize that you can help out for three through FeaturePoints and SwagBucks. Also regarding the people mentioned in the second part of the post, they make doll jewelry and are open for commissions right now if you might be interested.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! Reblogs do help and are also greatly appreciated!

[bloodlinemagick]

please signal boost!! their housing situation has deteriorated further and become even more urgent and on my family’s end i’m still being rejected from every job i apply to and often cant make ends meet!!

HOLY FREE ART PROGRAMS BATMAN

I’ve had this list sitting around for a while (in case I ever want to try something new) and I thought I’d share it, because why the hell not, everybody loves free stuff. I’ve only used a couple, so for all I know these could be complete shit. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, RIGHT?

*= available for both windows and mac os

GIMP * - Does a lot of the same stuff as Photoshop.

FireAlpaca * - Similar to Paint Tool Sai, so it’s a good alternative for Mac users.

Autodesk Sketchbook Copic Edition * - Simulates the look of copic markers.

MyPaint * - Basic stuff, nothing fancy.

Pinta * - Drawing program modeled after paint.NET.

Inkscape * - Vector/drawing program meant to be similar to Illustrator.

ArtRage * - Digital painting program; you can get the trimmed down version for free or buy the full version with more features.

Sumo Paint * - In-browser drawing app.

DAZ Studio * - Some sort of 3D model poser thing.

Pencil * - Software for animating.

SketchUp * - Tool for making 3D models. Looks handy for stuff like architectural drawings.

Blender * - Pretty popular 3D software.

escape motions * - Some browser apps, fun to fiddle with when you’re bored (the fluid fire simulation is pretty cool imo).

Twistedbrush (Pixarra) - Seems to be meant for replicating the look of traditional media.

Pixia/Phierha - A popular program in Japan, according to the website.

Krita - This was originally made for Linux and it looks like the developers haven’t ironed out all of the kinks in the Windows installer.

Artweaver - Another trimmed down free thing if you don’t want to buy the full program.

paint.NET - Pretty basic kit, probably good for simple stuff.

Project Dogwaffle - I’m not sure what this one is all about because I couldn’t stop laughing at the terrible website.

Speedy Painter - Lightweight digital painting program.

mtPaint - Originally made for pixel art; simple enough to run on older computers.

Chasys Draw IES - Supposed to be some sort of drawing+image editor thing.

PaintRibbon - Seems to be another plain old basic image editor.

DrawPlus - Looks like it’s made for graphic design and vector stuff.

SmoothDraw - I’m guessing this is a basic thing for people who don’t want to bother with complicated stuff.
