Over the next few months, we're gonna see some queer/trans folks go back into the closet/detransition for their own safety, especially in rural areas. This is not the same as assimilation or compliance, and these folks are not "traitors." This is camouflage. This is strategy.

Hi! Are you new here and looking for more cat accounts to follow? Here is a starter pack I made of cat accounts that use ALT text and are run by real people - no bots or image scrapers! go.bsky.app/J8yqxnN

do it *because* they hate it. there is nothing in the world you could say to them, no zinger sharp enough, no dunk wild enough, that it would upset them as much as seeing that block hit them in the face.

My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state. How's everyone else doing?

THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR

For those who need to do a bit more reading, thinking and considering before jumping into action, some resources for you.

I made a starter pack!! The theme is GREAT ART and not really more specific than that ok bye go.bsky.app/ATNRh8Q

I promised i'd repost my emoji mega thread, so here it is! I created all of these emojis and more, here's a thread containing all the high quality transparents for everyone to use <3 I'm a latino immigrant, any support is really appreciated in these times :"D my pwyw mega bundle is below!

This. Also can we abandon the idea that every person has to comment on every issue immediately? Twitter encouraged us to drop our least informed takes on issues we did not have the range on constantly, and who does that help? If you're policing other people's lanes, you're out of yours.

so far the only explanation i've seen that doesn't smack of "if only she'd listen to me she would have won" is "global discontent with incumbents because of inflation and post-pandemic malaise + toxic information environments"

just some comfort creatures

Gentle reminder that most disabled people can NOT leave the United States. Countries don’t want to take in disabled, chronically ill and “high cost health users”. There are serious financial barriers to moving - leaving most people behind. Spare a thought for all of us tonight - people are scared

me: hard to smile today *cat races down the hallway carrying a scone* *wife emerges and gives chase yelling GIVE BACK THAT SCONE IT'S NOT FOR YOU* me: I was wrong

You weren't stupid for believing people would make better choices

hey, you. yeah, you reading this. your life matters. don't ever forget that.

if you're lgbt, if you're black or hispanic or muslim, if you're a woman, if you're part of any sort of marginalized group it's the most unfair thing that you have to keep fighting but I beg you please be brave please be safe please try to survive

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore." I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT. We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

i have to keep creating....it's what keeps me sane. been distracting myself by working on a little album, collection of new virtual singer songs. out next week

"Trans people have been fighting forever, with bricks and rocks and fists and kisses and dancing feet and songs and poems and lessons and DIY healthcare. The world has never been able to handle us, and we've always had to rely on each other." #amwriting

Here is another graphite drawing. Maybe I should draw more of these. 👍🏻

feels weird to post about anything else right now but i hope posting about happy things is at least a little helpful

The idea that history passively bends towards justice has deradicalized so many people, so let me reradicalize y'all. HISTORY ONLY BEND TOWARDS JUSTICE IF YOU !!ACTIVELY!! FIGHT FOR IT AND !!MAINTAIN!! IT! You never get to rest. Ever. You stay vigilant or you lose it.

Anyone that wants to build a leftist movement in the US and doesn’t think that radical political education needs to be at the center of it should not be trusted. No more “it’s not my job to educate you.” We need to educate everyone. We need people to be angry that they are being robbed.

I will say this though: Hope is not a mistake.

I made a starter pack of nothing really but I like their art. go.bsky.app/H4kEq4a

there are lots of feelings today, but i hope we can always find solace in one another #comics

well, everybody, this is going to suck, but we’re going to follow the blueprint of every monster movie with a 2 in the title: take a little time to disbelieve that this is happening again, then use what we learned last time to fight hard, protect each other, and survive for as long as we can.

Hey during the Bush years, when empathy was at an all time low and I had no hope. Hate was so normalized What kept me going were the people I met online. They taught me love, community, and acceptance. They taught me I wasnt alone. Be there for those in need, okay? Help them thru the dark place.

Keep making art. Keep writing your stories. Even if they must exist in secret for a time, they are important - each of them a little act of rebellion. Most of all, keep on living. If you can muster no other motivation on some days, then do it out of righteous spite for those who want you gone.

Hound and greenery. Meant to be a break between larger projects, but well... #artsky #art #wolf #fantasy

my cats do not care that I am depressed about the state of our country & world they don't even know what an election is they are hungry and I still have to get up to feed them its comforting in a way, that at least someone I love can live in everyday bliss and for today that gets me out of bed

Doomscrolling

I have literally zero regrets, and I'm glad that I got to wake up this morning feeling that way. I fought like hell. I organized. I helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. I did my best. And I will keep fighting like I believe we can win, I AM PETTY ENOUGH TO FEEL JOY JUST TO SPITE THEM.

it's important for anyone, but especially artists to be very vocal, loud, and proud about their stances on human rights/politics. Our work reaches communities, what we create, share & show makes a difference. Art cannot be separated from humanity. Keep making things that showcase the world you want

My page on Bluesky is a safe space and you will always be welcome and safe here 🏳️‍⚧️ Please, be careful everyone 🙏

Bluesky community is currently very loving and caring. Its actually so sweet. I love y'all 🫶💖

Facing the truth is painful. Learning art requires you to see the world objectively. You must face truth daily—the truth of seeing the world for what it is. The good news? From this perspective you can now break the rules.

A lot of autistics don't know what to do with ourselves today. My only advice is Do Not do anything permanent. You're allowed to grieve, despair, be enraged and struggle to handle that in a healthy way. Don't beat yourself up for not being calm or "normal" about this, but Be Safe

You are allowed to celebrate good things that are happening today: your birthday, a book coming out, new baby, new puppy, seeing your favorite piece of art in person, etc. Joy is the knife that stabs into the heart of despair & apathy. Feel your joys, big & small, & share them widely & loudly.

The biggest bluest parts of a lot of states still haven't been tallied, and apparently there are a lot of mail-in ballots that will be getting verified up through the next week. I'm trying to not completely throw it in until there's for sure no other possible result

[HEAR YE HEAR YE] Heavily inspired by Alex's post I've created a starter pack for Southeast Asia Game Developers. If you know or part of game developers from Southeast Asia feel free to drop replies below so i can add you to the list. go.bsky.app/Aqan7Te

You will certainly not regret kissing a cat atop its head.

if anyone wants some good relaxing and kinda upbeat background music, this one's really good youtu.be/SXQeyudFe-g?...
