I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

that’s totally fair, yeah. it’s definitely different for various folks, and I’m sorry that extreme weather poles mess with you so much 😩
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

2. have no fear
3. shit where I please
I made a zine about this based on a post from last year… winter makes me feel like I’m at the bottom of a pit that I cannot climb out of, but when spring hits, I see the contrast like night and day.
I also argue it is a condition made much worse because many of us have to work though the winter (sometimes it’s our busiest season), so no one has a chance to decompress and rest.
they call it “seasonal affective *disorder*” but isn’t it… kinda… normal? for animals to lose energy, retreat inwards, and hibernate during winter?
maybe we called it a “disorder” when it started interfering with our productivity under capitalism

I deleted the thread on emotional crash outs because I can say it more succinctly like this:
Check on your emotionally reserved friends. A lot of us don't express distress openly and many people mistake that for invulnerability or hypercompetence. I find that especially true among trans people.
white folks need to start finding leadership that centers landback and Indigenous guidance. now. we need y'all on the front lines weaponizing what privilege you have. educate those around you, take direction from those who've been here longer, and get ready for a difficult, scary fight.
It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.
In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)
we are all animals, my lady. most are too afraid to see it.
okay! cool, I’ll bring it!
I don’t care if they are the bane of neighbors, I fucking love a wind chime. especially upcycled chimes. trash blowing in the wind, making nice sounds. I would like to be chimemaxxing.
oh true! if you’ll be at RetCon, I’m going as an attendee this year, as well as BWS. but I also don’t mind sending mail 🧡

It seems like no matter how old you get, there's always a new bug to learn about. Life is good
