You can access the survey right here ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Until Friday September Fifth, there is a public consultation on the future of the Basic Income for the Arts scheme.

I encourage you to make your thought's known. I've only shared my own and one of the few I know also on the scheme, but our stories are not unique. Many of us have dramatically improved artistic output and quality of life.
In these uncertain times we want to push for this to continue, to take on a larger cohort. The cost to fund these artists has proven to be neutral to the economy and we all end up spending more if we're not struggling to make ends meet. Continuing would only enrich our lives and keep Ireland's rich artistic history charging forward.

Just search "public consultation B I A 2025" or visit the link I post below.

Hello! I've been one of the lucky few on the BIA these last few years, and in light of the uncertainty of its future and potential for public support, I decided to write out this comic with the help of BIA compatriot @ianfay.bsky.social to share our stories. 1/3 ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Ken: Hey, I'm Ken.

Ian: And I'm Ian. We're both in receipt of the B.I.A. (Basic Income For the Arts)

Ken: Our last payment is in February 2026. The future of the scheme is uncertain, but we're here to talk about the past and what we've accomplished these past three years.

Ian: Thanks to the B.I.A, I have expanded my skill set and learned 3D sculpting. I bought a 3D printer to make hand painted toys of my own designs.

Ian: I can afford to repair it and spent thousands in the local economy continuing to grow and create.

Ken: As for me, I've been self-publishing small books for a while, but I now have the means to release larger books, which also gave me the confidence to run two different crowdfunding campaigns.

Ken: Without it, and after failing to return to animation, I was going to start a career in I.T. I was in a bad place with no hope for the future, but almost overnight, the B.I.A made my long struggling passion into a real livelihood. Nowadays, I can travel for events, sustain car expenses and socialise without managing my spending. In darker times, I was about to pay all the vet bills for my dying cat.

The BIA would be a huge help to me this coming year and beyond, so I'd love it to continue as there's a possibility I won't be able to make art at the amount I currently do.

This is an amazing scheme that has had huge benefit to many artists I know by removing the fear of absolute poverty from their lives. We all love art on a daily basis, so a little public support for them in this guise benefits everyone. I urge you to complete this form!

Oh Joy Sex Toy @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social · 19/04/2024

(1/2) If you find yourself asking, "Is my brain broken?" after trauma: good news! It's not. @luxalptraum.com & @erikamoen.bsky.social teamed up in this comic from the archive to explain the basics, from what it's doing in your brain to how to heal from it. www.ohjoysextoy.com/trauma-lux-a...

An East Asian person sits hunched over on the floor, cross-legged. They hold their head in their hands. They wear a beanie with a fluff of bangs showing. They wear a collared button-down shirt with pants.

"It's so ridiculous, I don't know why I'm not over it." The person thinks frantically while jagged lightning bolts radiate out from them. "It happened so long ago. Why is it still hitting me so hard?! I shouldn't care about this any more!"

Lux Alptraum approaches the person, taking their hands to help them stand up. Lux is a cis woman with glasses, long black hair, pierced ears, and wears an off-the-shoulder tight dress, tights, and fashionable short boots.

"Oh, buddy..." Lux says as she pulls the person to their feet. "I know how that feels. I think it's time we talked about... TRAUMA!"

Read the full transcript at: https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/trauma-lux-alptraum-and-erika-moen/

"Isn't it when you have PTSD from something really big?" The person asks, while looking over their shoulder a poster for a war movie. "You kowm like those movies where war veterans keep having flashbacks."

"Well, yes and no." Replies Lux.

Narration: At the most basic level, trauma is any injury that overwhelms the body's natural coping and healing mechanisms.
Image: The silhouette of a generic figure getting zapped by lightning bolts on the outside, with their inside filled up with smaller jagged lightning bolts as well.

The person gives Lux a boost to climb up giant 3 as she continues, "Experts like to break emotional trauma down into three types."

Infographic: 3 Types of Trauma
Acute: Trauma develops suddenly in response to a single, extreme event. (Icon of a lightning bolt)

Read the full transcript at: https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/trauma-lux-alptraum-and-erika-moen/

Narration: Every one of these reactions is normal, and specific to the individual. Trauma tends to amp up our regular behaviors to extreme levels - and that can appear in different forms.
A thermometer rests on its side, with its interior liquid turning a deeper red until it bursts from the top explosively. The far, cool end is labeled "Normal" while the exploded end is labeled "Extreme". In between these two ends are the labels, "Mania, overconfidence, depression, flashbacks, anxiety, fawning (trying to please everyone around you), angry outbursts, disassociation, detachment", with a note clarifying, "Just SOME examples - not a comprehensive list!"

Lux now sits on top of a giant brain that has a couple bandaids on it. She is helping pull the person up as they also climb up the brain.
