Hi! I'm Oliver Kent, a writer, YouTube maker, and (burgeoning) artist. I like creating content about silly things, and I'm very good at misunderstanding philosophers while confidently making videos about them.

If you’ve been noticing your favorite artists grinding harder than usual… that is no coincidence. It’s getting harder and harder to make ends meet, please consider supporting your fave artists by liking, RTing, engaging with their work! 🧡 Times are tough but community keeps us strong 🫶

It's honestly disgusting that Black elders are fighting for us (AND y'all) like this when they have already given this country SO DAMN MUCH.

For those of you who have noted that Substack is basically a Nazi Bar and you’re looking for a place to move your writing to, the info in this thread may be an option worth looking into.

Stop advocating for trans people by referring to us as canaries in the coal mine. The whole point of the canary is that it's an acceptable sacrifice to protect the people who actually matter. We are not a *warning sign*. We are real people. Our lives and rights matter in and of themselves.

On the same day the national park service busy erasing trans people from history, HRC axed is entire trans justice initiative and laid off a bunch of amazing black and brown trans folks. Absolutely despicable, HRC showing us who they've always been. Help out here. www.gofundme.com/f/support-lg...

If you are going to the stonewall protests tomorrow, please stay in touch with me, drop pictures, and help me report what's going on on the ground. I'd love to write a good story about what happens tomorrow if it turns out to be a big one.

This should be exceedingly obvious, but when Stonewall stays up while references to trans people come down, they will measure the silence of cisgender people as concurrence for whatever they plan next, and it still won't protect you in the end. So please get loud. Our mutual survival depends on it.

Pay attention to this because now you’re gradually going to see which institutions are really about protecting their students and promoting equality among them vs which ones are only about their bottom line

Every company that has a black person holding a job that a white person wants is going to be dragged through a wasteful legal gauntlet because racists can't believe that a black person could ever be the most qualified applicant for a job.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Ever hear of the Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello? It's an amazing #steampunk #horror animated short about a crew seeking the cure to a plague. Check out my recommendation below! #animation #spooky #horrorfilm #recommendations youtube.com/shorts/raARQ...

Working on some consistency and inking practice, and if I'm going to do that, I'm going to use Piers as my model, lol. #ResidentEvil #PiersNivans. Why is drawing the same image right next to the other so damn hard T.T

I was like, "What if Piers Nivans was in Final Fantasy Tactics?" So I tried to make it happen. #finalfantasy #residentevil #piersnivans

Actually going to try to start using bluesky, but damn, I'm gonna having to figure out how to handle content since videos can only be 60 seconds, and most of my videos are pretty long form. Not to mention I can't shut up, so most of my sentences last longer than 60 seconds T.T

Currently trying to find tangible ways to support Palestine during this horror. Just learning about the nightmare in the Sudan as well. Not giving up hope. Not doom scrolling.
