If you are waiting on a Pride Wing magnet from me, they are finished and going out tomorrow. I have a few extra ready-to-ship magnets that are available in the shop. I won’t be making these anymore so these are all “last one” items! 🛒 VerdantSculpts.com #art #sculpture #dragon #prideArt #bsnm

My custom character pins are sculpted in durable Cosclay, making them perfect to wear to conventions on your lanyard. I can also make them as a magnet! Measures 2.5-3in. Examples shown here fall into the $90-150 range. Link ⬇️ #art #sculpture #furryArt #furry #commission #customSculpture

Hi, I'm Neal! I am a fantasy sculptor of dragons, animals, and characters. You can find my work in my online shop where I maintain my own line of resin figures. I am also available for custom work. 🐉 Portfolio : cara.app/verdantsculpts/portfolio 🛒 Shop/Commissions : VerdantSculpts.com

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

I will say - again - that two years into my time on Bluesky, I've still seen almost none of the racist, homophobic and conspiracy weirdo shit other people mention on here, and the only active blocklist I've ever used is one which targets transphobes. It's the canary in the coal mine. Every time.

Just clarifying, though this is not difficult to grasp: Anyone working on an industry project with a notorious transphobic bigot is OK with transphobic bigotry. The end.

Feeling fear is understandable. But we are responsible for our actions in the face of it. We do not have the luxury of surrender www.patreon.com/posts/we-do-...

Love when people post a pic to Facebook like “where can I get this??” and the pic is literally an actual product shot taken from someone’s website store with the shop’s watermark on it. Why are people like this.

They can dehumanize us all they like, it won’t change the fact that we’re infinitely more in touch with ourselves and our humanity than they ever could be. Anyway, yet again the bigots trying to insult us just make us sound badass.

behold, she!

This seems like a good time to repost this.

Reposting this forever until myself and every trans person I know has received $1,000 from a rich cis person.

When I don’t sleep well (which is often), I sleep in in the morning to make up for it. When I do sleep well (which is rare), I sleep in in the morning to enjoy it. I lose so many hours bc of my poor sleep, even when it (rarely) isn’t.

The people who supported me the most when I was abused by a cis man were TRANS. The people who have advocated for me, helped me heal, lifted me up are TRANS. Trans women support cis women, and it makes me SO ANGRY when cis women demonise them and scapegoat them for problems they are NOT CAUSING.

I look forward to a future where trans people don't need to become self-taught experts in biology, medicine, philosophy, sociology, law etc. just so we can fucking piss in peace.

So fucking right

What it means, among other things, is that we’ll get beaten to shit for accessing either space. For example: If we use the women’s bathroom, we’ll be assumed a predator. If we use the men’s, we’ll be punished for our presumption.

there is nothing good about Harry Potter, it is tangibly and materially harmful to real people

welcome to the cat club my man

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

Trans women ARE biologically women and no biased court can stop that basic fact from being true. Sex is a homeostatic property cluster containing an array of primary, secondary, and tertiary sexual characteristics. Trans people can and do change sex

This sure hits different as a trans person

Tonight I volunteered at an event distributing info and free supplies for transmascs: diy packers, HRT supplies, scar care, even free binder orders placed to gc2b & free haircuts on site. A couple dozen people came through and it was such an amazing thing to see so many of us together.

This is an old sketch but I thought the #sciArt feed might enjoy these bees I drew for my cozy solo-journaling micro-TTRPG “I’m A Bee!” which is available here: shardsofblue.itch.io/im-a-bee

the labor of art is mostly invisible. what you don't see in a finished piece is all the hours of thought it required, all the little discoveries and surprises and tragedies of production. art IS the process. if you aren't interested in the process, then i don't really know why you want to be artist

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."
