Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Measles is particularly bad because not only is it deadly and highly contagious itself, it seems to wipe your bodies immunity ‘history’. So suddenly you can catch EVERYTHING again. People who survive are extremely susceptible to death by something else shortly after www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Oh, and "kill your darlings" is bad advice. Just taking out the lines you really like doesn't make your writing better. The phrase should be "don't let your darlings hold you back". If you end up at a point where a line you like is clashing with the work as a whole, that's when it needs to go

"Watercolor is so hard to control!" It's not actually. You just need good, springy brushes. I have mystery brand multipurpose synthetics, synthetic resovoir brushes, W&N watercolor synthetics, and I had this amazing oval wash brush that was a blend of squirrel and synthetic, but it's missing. :(

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

How I know gender is a spectrum and that I’m very happy to identify as non-binary? Literally every trans woman I’ve met is more woman than I could ever pretend to be. Trans women embody the divine feminine more than a cis woman ever could. My queens. My goddesses. 🙌🏻

I'm almost done with this. I'm thinking about changing the color of the highlights on the scarab beetle and I need to add hairs and light colored pips on the head and upper body. Inspired by the Radiohead song, Let Down. #art #illustration #noAI #watercolor #Radiohead

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

Something we all should remember, as we talk about worst case scenarios and ways to plan for and survive them: It's very much worth remembering that we collectively can and will survive them. And, we will build something beautiful on the ashes of their corrupt and childish violence.

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men. Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

This is giving me yet another thousand yard stare. I was supposed to work for museums. Then 2008 cut budgets to nothing. I went back to school. By the time I had my undergrad positions wanted masters. I pursued art. Regulations worldwide not meant for microbusiness but affecting us all the same—
