starving artist commissions, open always.

things are getting completely ridiculous in price, as I'm sure you're well aware. it's gotten to the point where we have to go without the things we need pretty regularly. all I'm really good at is being creative, and that doesn't really pay the bills, but it could pay for necessities.

if you don't want to commission me but still want to help somehow, you could buy a track from my bandcamp, or buy me a kofi. anything is appreciated, no amount is too small to help. even a reblog can help.

I'm a cartoonist, comic artist, musician and writer.

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

oh is that one of those things where ableist companies put in traces of common allergens so they can just avoid the cost of making it safe

A trend we predicted in 2016 continues.

US based but it’s similar reasons in other countries. and of course many companies have international locations. idk if that’s why it’s happening with sour patch kids but this is a thing

I cannot even explain how ANGRY I am at this.

My nephew is very allergic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Last year my sister discovered all hot dogs and hamburger buns now contain sesame. Not "may contain", but listed in the ingredients. This year basically every brand of sliced bread also now contains sesame, making it very difficult to find bread items he can eat.

They're just adding it to their products, so they can just list it as an ingredient and not bother with worrying about cross contamination. And they aren't even bothering with telling anyone. Capitalism is going to kill us all.

"Which brings us back to Kellogg’s. Back in 2016, the company found a way around the added burden and expense of complying with the FSMA: they simply began adding trace amounts of peanut flour to their cracker products. Doing so allowed them to list peanuts as an ingredient of the product, freeing them from having to prevent cross-contact.

At the time, Kellogg’s notified Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) about the impending change and left it to them to warn the allergic community. In this case, Pearson’s didn’t even bother as near as we can tell."

a quote from the above article. i feel like people without food restrictions and allergies don't truly understand the life those of us with them do. this is our reality. this is for every ingredient you ever buy. you have to check the ingredients on every grocery every time. you still run the risk of it going home and making you sick. people with allergies and food restrictions have to deal with so much all the time. can you imagine if you could only consistently have a handful of foods that were 'safe' but every time you go to the grocery store (for the rest of your life) there's the chance you will have less and less options to eat?

May help some people: there is an app called Fig that can help people with allergies & other dietary restrictions find safer foods & be aware of ingredient changes:

Fig is the fastest way to find food that works for you: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Low FODMAP, Vegan, Food Allergies or just avoiding additive

sometimes when I’m being especially self deprecating and convinced no one likes me I have to tell myself “you’re being goob. you are being goob right now”
