One of the first, soft targets of fascist regimes is "degeneracy," including "degenerate art." It's often first in line. And after destroying that's been ushered into acceptability? They just start expanding the definition of degeneracy.

Just saw someone share my photo on another platform without credit. Which isn’t surprising, just frustrating. Please think twice before sharing something someone else made detached from their account/post. Try a reverse image search. Or just make your own content.

quick draw what you're wearing, 5 min max (I also cheated, took an extra minute to fix things… and I STILL forgot to add my glasses 🤓. I’m tempted to keep noodling with it but I’m forcing myself to stop.

Hey #kidlit illustrators, I'm looking for an artist who can conjure hilariously expressive animals with commercial appeal for a character-driven picture book that's packed with dialogue and action. Respond here with images and a link to your folio. Please no DMs. Agents are welcome to email. 💙❤️

Just checked and this appears to be the case as of time of posting, TAKE NOTE: all the excuses/explanations about Musk’s salute are coming from OTHERS. There has been no statement or apology from Musk or Trump. PAY ATTENTION.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost. They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong. Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread

One thing before tomorrow: Use your local libraries. Get your card. Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks. Recommend titles for purchase (usually online). Attend promoted activities. Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires. Tell your kids that libraries are good. They are. 📚

On that last repost; once queer art is outlawed, you know that outlawing queerness is not far behind. Have courage, queer artists. Don't capitulate, don't self-censor. Keep making queer art. Keep living.

Two things run through my mind about this tiktok debacle: They can easily take it away and just as easily give it back. Also, it took me years to get out of an abusive relationship. And the stunt that was pulled with TikTok is a tactic that seems all too familiar.
