URGENT HELP NEEDED!

First of all, thank you for reading this. I am a single guardian of two and we currently need to buy more medicine for their asthma treatments now that it’s getting warmer and their outside activities start but I don’t have all the money right now.

Hey, this is my first time asking for something like this, but I need help. I just wanna raise extra money for groceries and my family. If you have the means, consider; if you don't, reblog please.

I was thinking maybe 200 dollars? Just enough to give and help.

COMMISSIONS OPEN !

Reblogs appreciated!!

Hi everyone! I’m opening commissions for the very first time, as I could really use the funds. On the way to visit my mother in the hospital 4 hours away from home, my car broke down, and I was told that I would need to pay $437 USD in order to replace all my fluids, change the oil, and order new parts for the ones that broke. I don’t make that much money as is, so I don’t have anything left after having to buy a bus ticket to get here.

If you’re interested, please DM me! If you’d like to just donate, my ca/shapp is $dessmkl and my pa/ypal is paypal.com/paypalme/dessmk

Please note that I currently do not have my iPad with me, as I had only brought essentials. I can still sketch something pretty coherent out for you on my phone, but it may take a few more days for me to begin actual work on your request, depending on when I’ll be able to get home.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

Sketch style shading is demonstrated in the infographic

Medium detail features a more cartoon-ish style, rather than the stylised realism of high detail

If you have a sketch of your own (it can be stick figures and random shapes!), please send it to me, as it’ll give me a clearer idea of what you may want. I will send a cleaner re-sketch & we’ll go from there!

10 slots are currently open, but that may change depending on availability and speed of commission completion

If there are additional items you want to add that I find may take more labour than the baseline price, I may charge a small fee (may vary)

It is okay to use my work as your icon as long as you pay in full beforehand and credit me in your bio! If you want me to draw you, your OC, or your favourite character/person in one of my styles then I absolutely can!

You may DM me with no strings attached! If you want to discuss an idea but then feel I may not be the artist for you, no worries!

I’ll be looking forward to working with you! :)

A year of pissed-off, bummed-out music: Jonathan Shaw’s year in review

Photo of Agrimonia by Victor Sanchez

I’m not making any grandiose claims about the “greatness” or the “best-ness” of any of these records. But they’re the records I kept coming back to, throughout the year — the ones that refused to fall off the queue, that insisted that I listen, closely and attentively.  

The list also gravitates toward the slow and really, really heavy. This year, if a record’s sounds weren’t loud and pissed off or bummed out, it didn’t have much chance of holding my attention. Heavy, pissed and bummed were my affective baselines, as U.S. politics and culture spiraled around an ethical nadir. Music has never been an escape for me. It’s life’s soundtrack. And life has a dire, desperate feel these days. The records respond accordingly.  

Agrimonia’s Awaken is the record I played most often this year, and I played those by YOB and Thou almost as frequently. The others are in no particular order, but I spent a lot of time with all of them.

Agrimonia — Awaken (Southern Lord)

Awaken by Agrimonia

Awaken is a remarkably potent blend of crust’s politico-cultural ethos and metal’s volume and riff worship. The band’s roster combines decades of experience gigging in Gothenburg’s fecund metal and punk scenes, and their confidence and deftness shows. It’s a passionate, exciting record, egregiously underappreciated.  

YOB — Our Raw Heart (Relapse)

Our Raw Heart by YOB

To call this LP “heartfelt” might be a bit too on the nose. Still, Mike Scheidt’s heavyweight bout with near-fatal illness has imbued YOB’s riffing with a nakedly emotional impact. The band still brings the heavy, but they do so with palpable humility and humanity, and that’s a real artistic accomplishment. 

 Thou — Magus (Sacred Bones)

Magus by Thou

An absolute knockout: all the scabrous, desolate noise you could want out of a sludge record, and an outsized load of smarts, too. Thou released a ridiculous amount of new music this year, but this record is the motherfucker. Unrelentingly intense and full of ideas.

  Candy — Good to Feel (Triple B)

Good To Feel by CANDY

The remarkable hardcore record, Good to Feel finds a way to get to the other side of nihilism by taking it seriously. Careful with this one—it leaves a mark. And the band are among the best live acts in heavy rock right now.

 Efrim Manuel Menuck — Pissing Stars (Constellation)

Pissing Stars by Efrim Manuel Menuck

Menuck is one of the founders of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and that band’s sonic grandiosity is occasionally registered on this solo LP. But most of the sounds are bleak, angry or emotionally tapped out. It’s pretty harrowing stuff. Menuck attempts to bring the record’s tone around to hope, and the title track almost gets there. Almost.

 The Armed — Only Love (Self released)

ONLY LOVE by The Armed

An impossibly exciting hybrid of hardcore’s provocation, electro’s technical spazz-out and noise rock’s information overload. It’s hard to get a handle on exactly who these Detroit-based pranksters are, and what they intend by presenting the world with these sounds. But the sounds themselves are undeniable.

 Material Support — Terror Prone Nation (Aklasan Records)

Terror Prone Nation by Material Support

The year’s sharpest political punk, Terror Prone Nation couples ideological clarity with memorable melody. Vocalist Jackie commands the songs with a voice that’s clear and compelling. She knows that the words are what matter, but she can shout with the best of them. “Tear it down and start again.” Right on.

 Moloch — A Bad Place (Feast of Tentacles)

A BAD PLACE LP by MOLOCH

At once unendurably ugly and utterly transfixing, this is the sound of the earth ball rolling around the rim of a rusting, crumbling sewer pipe. Depending on how you’re situated, A Bad Place is either the worst record to play when you’re feeling shitty, or the only record to play.

 Screaming Females — All at Once (Don Giovanni)

All At Once by Screaming Females

As on all Screaming Females records, Marissa Paternoster’s guitar-hero antics dominate. But All at Once also demonstrates the range of her gifts as a singer, and the record’s ongoing thematic interest in image (on the Internet, self-image and identity, and in visual arts) makes for a cohesive and stimulating set of inventively written songs. And the solos burn it down.

 Primitive Man / Unearthly Trance — Split LP (Relapse)

Split w/ Unearthly Trance by Primitive Man

This is one of those rare split LPs that feels like a complete record, as both bands explore the relation between doom metal and harsh noise. Primitive Man’s tracks are much more oriented to experimentation with noise, while Unearthly Trance absolutely destroy their side of the record with four songs of soul-shattering metal. Among the heaviest records of the year, by whatever metric you want to use.  

Also, a special shout-out to Philadelphia’s own Moor Mother, who threw down the loudest, smartest and most searing live show I saw this year, among a bunch of loud, smart and searing shows. If you haven’t seen Moor Mother do her thing, stop fucking around and go. Here’s a taste:

Peace.

My PP link  (under my old name please ignore it’s gross)

OKAY so longers story, I am driving my dad & his gf to New Jersey, because that’s the only place anyone has offered them a place to sleep, which is a long way from Panama City beach FL. where they are right now.  (At my uncles & trust me it is FAR from ideal) 

FEMA has screwed him over despite him doing everything right and they have way too much stuff to take a greyhound or a plane. This is not what any of us want to do, but the homeless shelters nearby are for people with substance abuse issues and there are none where both him & his GF can stay. 

I love my dad more than anyone else in my family, and before and after my coming out as transgender he’s given me more support than anyone else in my family. I hate the idea of him being further away from me, but this is the only thing I can do for him right now. 

Please, share, and if you donate you can request a doodle. Thank you my pals.
