Please, peeps.

what do you want

hey just an FYI: it's not "high functioning" autism. That terminology is frankly weird. There are autistic people with higher or lower support needs - that framing makes it clear where the problem lies and it's not with the autistic person who can't "adapt" to an ableist system.

SOME AUTISTIC PEOPLE WILL NEVER PAY TAXES OR WRITE POEMS AND THAT’S OKAY. WE ARE ALLOWED TO EXIST WITHOUT CAVEATS OR JUSTIFICATIONS. MANY AUTISTIC PEOPLE ARE VERY CAPABLE AND TALENTED INDIVIDUALS, AND MANY STRUGGLE JUST TO SURVIVE. BOTH ARE AUTISTIC AND BOTH DESERVE DIGNITY AND HAPPINESS.

This is slowly driving me insane (I’m almost done)

If you're trans and you're an artist/creative living in the UK, post your links below!! Your shop, kofi, vgen, commission info, whatever. Let's try to get a thread going-- I'll repost as many as I can!! #trans #transart #fixyourheartsordie

Please, do not feed the cryptidlife 🐺🪽 #art #originalart #oc

she is beauty ✨ she is grace 🤍 she is... nanny ogg? challenged myself to do this with just my mouse and my laptop in blender. had a lot of fun and learned so much in the process! #Blender #Blender3D #BlenderNPR

Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

I know it's exhausting and feels hollow to hear "don't give up trans people!! it'll be okay!!" because shit is hard and terrifying and only getting harder But don't give up. Not for platitudes. But because if you give in they win. Fuck them. Live loud and live well, no other option you got.

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

if someone ever did this to my art i would break their fucking arms

"the job market is a fucking byzantine nightmare because the job market has millions of fake listings on it so companies can harvest your data" seems like the kind of thing that should be no-brainer illegal, and yet

actual conversation I have had

"kink is not a reliable source of information on someone's moral standing. it just feels good to think that way" THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS, 1000% *THIS*. LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK, PLEASE. THANK YOU. Source: genderkoolaid.tumblr.com

Just like you're art, you're a work in progress. That doesn't mean you're a failure. It means you're still developing what's important. Trust the process.

If you use generative machine learning AI to create soulless images or share them casually on your pages; do yourself a favor and unfollow me before I find and block you. AI users never respected me (or any other artist) to start with. And people who are normalizing it's spread and use are no better

TIL that huge amounts of space junk have clouded the entirety of the night sky making astronomy as well as radio communication much harder, and it's almost entirely space-x starlink satellites. Like, 10 to 1 all space junk is elon's fucking fault. everything he touches turns to shit, I hate it

Why do politicians feel completely entitled to invade doctor’s offices and shatter patient confidentiality? They’re not. Steering is a bigot peddling bias. Patients have an inalienable right to evidence-based care.

This has to be against the Hippocratic Oath You have children who need help, you know what the best treatment recommended internationally is, they're already taking it, and you're legally required not to help them at all Really disgusting www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/11/w...

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

Everyone should draw old ladies. It’s good for morale.

Overdue trade with @thanewitch.bsky.social 💕 Thank you for being sweet and patient. Loved drawing these two for you. #art

Signs of spring, ranked.

a redo of an old favourite #ffxiv #gpose. it kind of gave me a gender revelation and laid some important groundwork for xeph's appearance and attitude. but this was before i had customize+, flat chested mods, the graphics update, and a 4k monitor.

We despise the use of GenAI to produce images, and we will die on this hill. Please don’t play around with it, pass it off as harmless, or use it full stop. Art is an expression of human creativity, not a frivolous by-product of greed. #NoAI

Anyone else overwhelmed?

“You’re so quiet” yes well I’m hard at work putting my favourite characters through Situations in my mind

The way you talk about your art is the way you talk about yourself. Be careful with your words. You deserve better than "I suck at this."
