I screencapped this comment a while back and have been trying to keep this perspective so I can keep doing my best to do good and not get bogged down in the despair the fascists are trying to shove down my throat

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. This is a critical victory for trans rights.

damn-well wedded to this here light!

“No man knows, till he experiences it, what it is to feel his own lifeblood drawn away into the veins of the one he loves.”

Artists have already been struggling because of AI. The loss of work has been very real and very tangible. And now we're heading into a recession with skyrocketing inflation If you have the means, please support your favorite artists. Join their Patreons. Buy prints from their shop. We need it

Google joins the call to gut our legal protections, pushing for a world where Big Tech gets to profit from all your innovations & works for free, and that theft is ok’d by law. No joke IF they get this, the US will likely face irreparable harm as pivotal creative economies crash.

When your mail is delayed, your medications arrive late, or your packages get lost—remember it’s because two billionaires decided to fire thousands of mail carriers and cut billions in essential funding for USPS for NO reason except to break government & enrich themselves.

HEY! ARTIST! You don’t get punished for saying “Patreon” here, not even when posting direct links. No more of that “see alts on the P-site” nonsense. Post your links, make it easier for people to support you.

premature death

We either all have rights, or none of us have rights You need to be willing to stand up for the people who are different than you. The disabled, trans, immigrants, marginalized & people of colour Its easy to stand up when you think you’re at risk, the true test is if you will speak out for others

can't believe this started as a tiny sketch without me planning to finish it. honestly, for how much i like the character, i don't draw him enough. so here we are 🩸 #astarion #bg3

Apple just paused its AI LLM Siri upgrade indefinitely. The writing is on the wall.

Building on this: I think creativity in in one field begets creativity in another. Creativity in the kitchen/on a rock wall/with thread and fabric/on a stage/etc feeds creativity on the page. And having multiple creative outlets allows for rest and time away from each of them.

New Adobe Photoshop survey is up, it sure would be a shame if it was flooded with artists leaving anti AI sentiment survey.adobe.com/jfe/form/SV_...

your moment of zen today

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

COVID is still out there, folks. It's still causing serious disability. You can still protect yourself & reduce your risk while being active - I see friends almost every day, perform 2-3x/week, & travel a lot. But I wear good masks on the regular, stay up to date on boosters, etc.

I have two friends, neither of whom are politics reporters but who both work in “the media,” who both told me yesterday that they aren’t even allowed to write or post about Trump with work accounts because describing anything he’s doing objectively would appear “anti-Trump.”

this keeps replaying in my head bc it's literally this easy to support trans people. the majority of these freaks have never actually experienced pushback and will straight up collapse when confronted. cis people get your heads right. this is your job

Also I finally tried out using a wheelchair at these last couple of concerts and man it is nice to leave a concert and not be absolutely dying. But the general questionable at best accessibility of most of the world gives me so much anxiety and working through that is its own tiring task lmao

Saw Ratboys again tonight 🐀

Mahmoud Khalil’s family is raising funds for his legal defense and to support his wife who is 8 months pregnant. Please consider giving whatever you can - every contribution will go a long way in helping bring Mahmoud home. Please donate and share:

these are the names of young Black men who were "found dead" after the Ferguson uprising following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014. Edward Crawford Jr. is in the famous image below. his death was ruled a suicide. our gov't is not new to silencing activists. the least we can do is remember them.

Andrea Dworkin said this in 1995 and it could be this week nostatusquo.com/ACLU/dworkin...

Trans rights are YOUR rights. Fighting for us is fighting for self-determination and bodily autonomy for everyone.

I love how she’s like. Listen, to be clear, I’m racist. However this is too far

Also the car is not actually any faster than a runner who has done even minimal training and will drive you off the race route and into a ravine filled with ticks while all the time assuring you that in fact this route is correct and proper

Palestinians are already saying that no food or aid is allowed in & they’re terrified of yet another manufactured famine. With water being their only main resource left, they are doubling down on the genocide and taking away electricity prevents anyone from immediately reporting on what’s happening

I honestly don’t hate the picture of all the Chicago cops protecting Tesla because showing a bunch of armed agents of the state openly enforcing Elons will is revealing the truth of our situation much more clearly than anything protestors could show

"Why SHOULDN'T government be run like a business?" Because the goals are diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive. Businesses exist to make money. Governments exist to make people's lives better. You ask if the fire dept is successful at putting out fires and saving people, not the $ it makes

This feels like a major inflection point. If ICE can apparently unlawfully arrest & disappear a permanent resident and it is not immediately met with strong opposition from the public, officials, and courts, there is no going back.

I’ll be honest… just wanted to draw some tdick <3 #transart #transartist #queerart #nsfwart #transmasc

It’s barely 2:30 but I’m already over today 🫠 It already started off not great and dumb shit keeps happening and I’m too fucking tired for it all

I have been praying for his downfall since 2015, if he has no haters, I am dead and in the ground. I really hope this is finally the beginning of the end

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

This is what your reposts and signal boosts can do for independent artists.
