I Made A Little Reference Piece For My Future Embroidery Projects. No More Guessing How Many Strands

Made a new emote for my twitch… I’m kinda obsessed with it

Hey artists of Tumblr! I’ve got a question!

I have a friend just starting out on Twitch and asking for a banner commission. He is also asking if I’d be willing to stay on as his art designer. I’m very pumped to do this, but I don’t know how much to be charging for commissions since I’m just starting out on commissions.

My husband recommended at least $15/hr, but I want to make sure I know how to set prices. My friend is offering 2k total or 10% from each stream whichever comes first. Does this sound reasonable? My husband is afraid I’m going to get ripped off since I’m just starting out.

So those who do commissions for art, what’s a reasonable price per hour for art? Or a base price you give people?

hey so imma be real with yall I'm in a really shitty spot at the moment, I'm currently out of a place of my own and jobless rn and it's taking a huge toll on my mental and physical health. I can't afford to take care of the things I need to, especially dental work that's years overdue

if you'd like to support me and my queer, audhd owned small business, link is in my pinned and right here, I sell handmade jewelry and accessories, open to commissions and customs

if you can't support, please boost

I‘m so angry and disgusted right now. I read about my home country, East Turkistan. (China calls it Xinjiang.) for a while, I stopped reading reports because I was suffering. But now I can’t ignore this any longer. I am heart broken and can’t comprehend what I’ve read. words cannot describe how I am feeling, how hurt I am and how angry I am. Therefore, I feel like I need to share this. I know a lot is going on right now but please pay attention to this as well.

I will not post everything but you can Read more here.

Babygirl I know fandom history that you wouldn’t even care about

Both Latine/x Heritage AND LGTBQ+ History Month mean honoring the legacy and resilience of our queer and trans ancestors. Today, we honor Lorena Borjas and her legacy of radical, compassionate care.⁠ ⁠ Lorena Borjas was a trans Latinx s*x worker and activist in Queens, New York, focusing her work on supporting trans and queer folks on the streets. Since the 90s onwards, Borjas worked to protect transgender victims of human trafficking (which she herself had experienced) and systemic violence. ⁠ ⁠ She hosted trans women who had been ostracized from their families in her own apartment until they were able to support themselves. She would be out in the streets, handing s*x workers condoms and making sure they were being safe. She worked without pay to facilitate access to HIV testing and hormone therapy for trans s*x workers, including setting up a weekly HIV testing clinic in her home, and providing syringe exchanges for women taking hormone injections. ⁠ ⁠ When s*x workers were faced with “prostitution” charges, Lorena helped bail them out and eventually founded the “Lorena Borjas Community Fund” to help transgender people who were embroiled in the arrest-jail-deportation cycle.⁠ ⁠ Borjas passed away last year due to COVID-19 complications. She left behind an incredible legacy of building community in the streets, rooted in resilience and an abundance of care for the people around her.⁠ ⁠ Thank you to our wonderful community collaborator, @maitexnazario for creating this beautiful mural! This is the final piece of the mural, celebrating three different queer and trans Latine/x ancestors.⁠
