I despise with the heat of a thousand suns the way I have to be suspicious of all art I see now while I investigate it's authenticity, because this couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the state of mind one should be in while taking in all art.

dogweapon on tumblr: "the author's barely disguised longing for a kinder world"
Catsune Miku :3
bsky's dev team got mad that their active userbase is nothing but trans people furries and porn artists and now they're taking crowbars to the server infrastructure to try and get us to leave so more cryptobros join the platform
Big damn reminder for International Trans Day of Visibility that transmasc folks are equally deserving of love and visibility; the tacit and explicit denial of their space and place in the trans community at large is still a big problem. Give them care today too please.

A strip from Something Positive including Mike and his son (forgot the name, sorry, uncle Randy). The drawings is mainly of Mike packing up books, the main point here is the dialogue, which is as follows: Panel 1: Son: Orson Scott Card? JK Rowling? These are your favourite books, dad! Panel 2: Mike: They're pretty hateful towards gay and trans people and actively work to make their lives worse. I don't wanna support them anymore. Panel 3: Son: Can't you just separate the work from the author. Mike: Some people probably can and I sure tried. Son: What changed? Panel 4: Mike: I realised "separate the work from the author" is easy for me to say when I'm not one of the people they dehumanize.
Is this a good time to once again repost this Something Positive strip that Dear Uncle Randy made a few years back?
Answer: Unfortunately, it is. It shouldn't have to be, but it is.
my favorite memory about metaverse is when RTGame streamed it and, during his stream (and likely BECAUSE of it), meta's stock dropped by 20%
can u not post not safe for woik 🥺
thinking again about the greatest scene in cinema history
Panel 1 Comic titled “Rejection Sensitivity Explained.” The ADHD Alien character stands beside another person who responds casually with the words “Oh, thanks.” The reaction is neutral and calm. The ADHD Alien character looks worried and overthinks the interaction. Caption text reads: “When people react neutrally to me, I think they secretly hate me.”
Panel 2 The ADHD Alien character sits curled up on the floor in a dim room, looking anxious and overwhelmed. The caption reads: “It’s like my logic turns off and an emergency mode turns on.” Thought bubbles show spiraling worries: “I must’ve done something wrong.” “I need to figure out what I did wrong.” “Did I overstep?”
Spent all vacation worrying that the people I’d meet wouldn’t like me. They liked me 😭. Could’ve enjoyed my croissant in peace
Rejection sensitivity part 1/4

WHOS NEXT???!?!?!!
Panel 1: Caption: “If there is just the possibility of being rejected by someone important…” Character smiles at her phone, texting: “Thank you for listening to me yesterday.” “Do you want to go to that new coffee place?” A reply pops up: “Tbh I didn’t really like the movie, sorry.” “But it’s ok if you like it!!” Panel 2: Two minutes later, she stares at the same messages; thirty minutes later, still frozen, holding her phone.
Panel 3: Caption: “My nervous system regresses to that of the rejected 5-year-old me.” She looks anxious, thinking: “What a preposterous fool I am. I should’ve tried harder to like that movie. Why would he ever want to go somewhere with me? I bet I just annoyed him yesterday.” Panel 4: Her phone now shows: “You deleted this message” repeated four times, then “You know I can see your messages in the notification preview, right?” Caption: “I know all the coping strategies, but still can’t manage the urge to run and hide.”
I still struggle not to act on my impulses when I’m afraid of being rejected.
You don’t need expensive tools to make art you just need to start.
It's important work.
"Cave art" of a hyena and her cub
It bums me out that there isn't more Paleolithic rock art of cave hyenas, especially considering they were all over the place. So I made some myself.
"I was told you're a monster," the hero said.
"So they say," said the monster.
"But you're beautiful!"
"Thank you."
"Have you always been a monster?"
"Heh. I was a young maiden. But I did something forbidden."
"And became a monster?"
"Got named a monster."
"What did you do?"
"I hit back."
Even in the midst of the biggest writers block imaginable, I'd never use this shit. I'd rather wait for inspiration to hit than let the planet killing devices come up with corporate friendly drivel. I can come up with my own drivel gods damn it!
drawing of two girls, one saying: “kissing that girl who overthinks things. mwwwah. right on the lips no more thinking for u beautiful”
