and they vacuum like every other morning and it makes this horrid scraping sound that even my noise canceling headphones can't tune out

whatever activity they just woke me up with is literally making my blinds shake

i can't wait to move away from the most inconsiderate neighbors imaginable

commission real artists.
do real artwork.
if you have hands but you can't draw, write something from the heart.
don't resort to a generative program to do everything for you, you lazy cheap motherfuckers.

Gender should literally just be a common thing that people *should* examine in order to have a fullness of life, even if nothing massively changes. It should be as common as developing a fashion style or a music taste. Deconstruction of societal imprint, no matter how “far” you go, is freedom.

A digital art piece or two masculine Native American characters in a corn field. The one on the right sits on the ground, holding a basket of corn with the purple Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) flag woven into the backet's design. Standing behind them, on the left, is a male character who leans over the one on the right to kiss his nose from behind, also placing an ear of corn into his backet at the same time. The one standing wears a breechcloth and leggings, and has red tattoos on his arms. The one sitting also wears a breechcloth, but also wears a bead necklace and a purple armband, his hair tied up with a purple ribbon.

Ok now that I'm finally a little less busy, here's my full piece for We've Always Been Here from @taplingzines.bsky.social !

Both characters are Haudenosaunee, and the one sitting is two-spirit (and mixing a couple diffent gender norms!) 🥰

A softly lit watercolor painting of three panels, bordered by intricately painted branches of pomegranate and orange trees. The first panel, in the top left corner, shows both men kissing with one pressed against an intricately tiled wall in the Alhambra palace. One man has rich, warm brown skin and a turquoise headwrap that falls down over his shoulders and coat, which is decorated in intricate golden swirl patterns. The man kissing him has richer cooler-toned dark brown skin, with a white headwrap clipped together with a golden pin, wearing a white robe with intricate gold and red-gem inset details. Both have facial hair. The central painting, the largest panel, shows both men sitting in a public bath, although they are alone, gazing closely at each other, looking like they're about to kiss, arms resting on their legs as they gaze softly. They both have small, damp fabric around their waists, the colors matching their respective outfits. The man in the white cloth has braided cornrows, in a traditional Amazigh style. The man in the blue cloth gazes slightly down into his eyes, with his leg extended over the ledge of the bath, showing intricately painted and extensive burn scars including contractions. A cane rests on the shadowed wall beside him. The bath room itself is a pale yellow stone, shadowed in purple washes, with a central inset section bordered by a pattern of turquoise, dark blue, green, and red diamond tiles, interspersed with white tiles. The central inset part has the same pattern, but far smaller and more detailed. The final panel, in the bottom left, shows the turquoise and indigo robe of one of the men as he walks, using his cane, with his lover's hand holding his back for support. The blue robe has even more intricate swirling gold patterns, with a red sash and gold metal piece tying it together at the waist. A washy watercolor part hints at a garden in the background.

I can finally share my full illustration for @taplingzines.bsky.social 'We've Always Been Here' art book!

It's of two Muslim men bathing in Medieval Al-Andalus, a very accepting time for queer people~ ✨

A digital illustration of two Igorot men, one Bontoc and one Ibaloi, about to kiss. The Ibaloi man, who wears a white blanket, holds the Bontoc man's face. The Bontoc man, who wears red, looks surprised. The Sleeping Beauty Mountain in Kalinga is in the background. In the sky, there are yellow clouds and a light rainbow. The ground is littered with arrows.

Lot of people discussing this with the idea of failing faster. I would put it to you that failure doesn’t actually have to exist at all in this conception. One of the great mistakes of the AI brouhaha is the belief that art is good because of its craft or content. It is good because it connects us.

An illustration of two Anglo-Saxon era lesbians. One is embracing the other from behind, burying her face in her neck while the other smiles joyfully, they are adorned by a background of various patterns inspired by the era's artwork, including metalwork & jewellery as well as illuminated manuscripts. The patterns involve a lot of swirling & abstract floral & animal motifs. The woman being embraced is standing at a warp-weighted loom which is being used to weave a fabric in colours of the lesbian flag (orange, white and pink).

🧡Sweet mother, I cannot weave...🧡
My full drawing of Anglo-Saxon era lesbians for We've Always Been Here artbook! Details & progress stages to follow.

A digital, softly painted piece of two Welsh lesbians dressed in traditional attire relax together in a field of daffodils. One reads a book as she lays a limb difference on her adoring partner looking up at her, laid in her lap. The laid down woman strokes a Calico kitten's head. The two are hit with soft, warm sunlight.

Two Mesoamérican lesbians embrace after sealing their love in a precolonial commitment ceremony (in the rain forest background there is an altar with fruits and smoke offerings to bless their union) the sun shines on their love and the turtles in the foreground represent how natural and beautiful queer love is

"The bird with four (mating) sexes."
In Zonotrichia albicollis, tan-striped males seek out white-striped females, while white-striped males court tan-striped females.

Morphs are behaviorally "masculine" & "feminine", separate from gonadal sex.

My white dog with black spots looking almost like she is going to smooch this kissy faced white koi that also has black spots. The koi is coming to the surface and Penny is pulling g at the leash leaning over this shallow concrete rim to a koi pond at the Biltmore estate.

Spots recognize spots.

Two chickadees sit on a branch, one says: "Whoa! Look!" indicating a light in the sky over the horizon. The other one says: "Pretty!" The first one says "Do you think that's Venus or just a bright star?". The second one looks nervous, stumbling "Oh... uh... yeah it's probably Bemus"

and bats! they fly around right outside the window every night 🦇 (and sometimes if it's really late there's ducks having threesomes on the basketball court 🏀🦆🦆🦆)

one thing I'll really miss about Spain is how i can look out the window at 11pm and the park is full of people of all ages and also usually dogs

thanks!! very true, i learned that the hard way when i tried to use it in a quilt 😔 ive used it for shirts before though, it lasts a while longer if it spends most of its time in the wardrobe! but i definitely wouldn't sell clothing dyed with turmeric

A watercolor illustration depicting two black cowboys on horses. They are leaning towards in an intimate way, and there is a faint rainbow in the sky above them. A white lasso ropes its way around the border to capture an inset of them kissing.

the turmeric did its job! the coffee not so much, i don't think I'd use it again for tie dye. i do like that it took away the starkness of the white though
