Pay elected officials the median household income

I have been watching hours of Khan academy and I still don't know how to shoot a recurve bow while riding a horse or divide the spoils of war among my loyal followers

I want to write a free, copyleft book about how to thrive on low income in the USA, because all the books on personal finance give advice like "don't buy a latte every day," instead of "first, get your staples at the food bank, and *then* any other food via food stamps."

I've been writing an outline, and I need more sources. What books and links can you tell me about that are like more the food stamp example? (And please retoot!)

Ko-fi is now following suit and utterly and completely cracking down on adult content

DO NOT say suggestive/adult things in the comment fields of your PayPal/Ko-fi transactions

DO NOT directly, publicly link your PayPal/Ko-fi identities in your adult-oriented art posts

DO NOT keep a lot of money in your PayPal account. Transfer it to your bank often, where they can't seize it and take it from you

Artists and commissioners use good judgement, it's a balancing act from both sides

Really great background info about that "two wolves" story here:

Please boost as you would a good meme.

Some quick character sketches i did when watching DS9 last night

trying to figure out how to draw these two sexy spacemen so i can make a proper Fanart of them later

it's hard because the features that distinguish Garak from "generic Cardassian" and that distinguish Julian from "generic human with boyish good looks" are very subtle. Not quite happy with Julian here, maybe his ears need tob e bigger?

"average person has two wolves inside them" factoid actually just statistical error. average person has 0 wolves inside them. Wolves Georg, who lives in a cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

@EveHasWords tiny cute wolf puppies

It turns out the voynich manuscript is a medieval magical girl manga

Peak Star Trek was in the 1990s, when universalist secular humanist liberalism was so ascendant that it was hard to see it as an ideology at all (c.f. Fukuyama's "end of history") and Star Trek just seemed kind of generically preachy in favor of the status quo.

Today, with liberalism on the defensive against authoritarian nativist populism, it's easier to see that Star Trek was about something, and that its message is something that's been missing from present-day culture

it took Star Trek 26 years to go from "the black character doesn't get any lines" to "the black character is Captain"

and then 2 years to go back to "the black character doesn't get any lines" again
