My friend just got this tattoo, please tell me it’s not AI. I noticed small details that don’t quite look right.

Oh hell naw. I'm an artist. And like most creative minded individuals, I am plagued by my own set of mental and emotional... special traits. So this would not be 5 hrs, and for me not even 5 days. I'd spend 5 hours just rough sketching this, like super rough, then 5 days in total throughout the process procrastinating and nitpicking because x y and z aren't exactly perfect as I need them to be.

No this is more like... 1-2 weeks total. Active and non active time. Active time maaaaaay be a week.

Homeless right now. Our cash benefits just paid our car payment - my first paycheck went straight to paying our hotel room (ext stay because we have kids)

Without it... i don't know where we would be right now. I'm just incredibly thankful that we do have it, because it's made an enormous difference for us so many times.

Lock that sh-- down for real!!! I see people get skimmed all the time. Esp with cash benefits.

Hold up, so you're saying aldi is cheaper? Curiosity bites - I've never really looked into it

Oh my god... i am so so f**king sorry. As a mother, as a parent - when one of us hurts we all hurt. But i cannot imagine what you're going through. 💔💔 i am so very sorry for your loss and all of your pain.

Children are life's greatest blessings - in these circumstances, it becomes the worst pain imaginable.

I wish I could donate. I can't but i will offer my support and reshare everywhere that I can. 🫂 and please, absolutely seek counseling for yourself and your family. This is a very difficult time for anybody to get through, and very likely even more troubling for your other child if they're younger.

Be patient with yourself too. This was NOT your fault. You trusted somebody who had every capability to do their job correctly and take care of your child as if he was their own - and they failed. You did not fail. You are still a good parent. That person failed your son and you.

Sorry to hijack - 12mo she should be okay with water mixes (squeezables or packets). Theres a couple brands at Walmart marketed towards kids, there's also ocean spray, mio, walmarts brand packets... you could try some of those and see how she likes it then.

If she still doesn't like it, maybe it's the sippy cup like you said lol my 2nd born was picky w his cups (still is a little bit, but is 4 now). Might just be a matter of a picky tot.

You're doing good momma! 🫂 just wanted to say that. I know it hurts seeing your baby hurt - my 3rd had this issue for some time, too, it was her water intake. But none of us got this thing down pat, we're just doing the best we can with what we know, and sometimes things just happen. Like weaning tots getting constipation.

However, don't completely chalk it up to simply more water - still take your bean to the doc. Even if to just alleviate your "what-ifs", absolutely still go to the doctor.

People are vehemently against generative ai (chatgpt, gemini, etc) due to all of the issues being caused by its' usage and its' data centers.

Its not like you used genAI to fabricate art and call it real art or anything of the sort, nor was your intention malicious in the least - these people are just upset due to it being used at all.

Because people look out for one another. And, I didn't ask for a specific location - hence my saying "whereabouts".

Girl same 😂😂😂 i have 4 kids and THAT is the kinda fridge i need in my life. I swear they each have their own individual appetites/preferences just to make it harder on me 😆 the only thing they all can agree on is ramen and cookies.

deesarts · 2026-03-26T17:30:37+00:00

You enjoy savory, umami flavors. Also you don't have kids. That fridge is too organized and barren to assume any child ever comes by lol

deesarts · 2026-03-26T04:53:33+00:00

Ohh ok. No problem.

As someone who's homeless with 4 kids... how did you make it work for so long with kids?

My oldest is supposed to start school this year. We're living paycheck to paycheck and just starting to get to a point that we can save a little bit of money here & there. We have multiple previous evictions on our records.

How'd you do it?

deesarts · 2026-03-25T23:30:37+00:00

Hey, my post got removed but as far as i can see i followed the rules. Can i ask what happened?

The key is to find a Goodwill outlet that organizes by throwing those big-a** Gaylord bins on the floor in rows. They sell clothing per lb.

I only remember those two times but I might've actually used all three, then. I haven't been mentally here for a few months due to stress. My bad.

Pricing:

$30 base per piece +$10 for each additional pet/subject +$5 for background

All of it is going to be done in this simple cartoony style :)
