I miss Pat The Bunny

Obsessed with Fiona Apple rn

the idea of a politician being motivated to do something about a problem is completely alien to me in the year of our lord 2024

Trans folks held a dance party in the Capitol bathroom to protest the bathroom ban on there.

Painting of two figures in a shadowy lamp lit interior, a white older man stands to the left leaning towards a sitting younger white woman who is sewing, the man, dressed in a fur hat and dark clothes, looks into the face of the woman and holds out a hand full of coins, the femake figure looks down as if ignoring him, she wears a long blue skirt and white blouse

A few hrs of work later and now it’s already getting dark so I gave up

Working on this practice study in oils of the face of my main subject to get a sense of how to approach her. This is what I did so far yesterday in an hour and hopefully today I'll get her looking much better!

Making people work on self checkouts is literally psychological torture

UK soldiers raping Kenyan women over decades.

Undercover cops starting families under false pretenses.

Trans women being forced into male prisons.

The United Kingdom is built on weaponized sexual violence. The State uses it to train its military, incentivise its agents and punish its enemies.

Lazy attempt at a Bargue plate study this evening. About 3hrs work.

There’s some issues but it was a good exercise in value

Me encanta mucho tus obras, este es perfecto, espero pintar así algún día

I always find it amusing that in public discourse western powers are "governments" and the rest of the world are "regimes".

Thanks so much!! 🖤🙏

Definitely some of my best works ✨ Done over two day sessions

Medieval flash tattoo I got to do today 🖤⚔️

Hi, I’m River and I’m a tattoo artist based in Brighton, England - here is some of my work! 🖤✨ #tattooartist #tattoos

But also if you ignore the financial situation it’s kinda fun to work once a week and live the unemployed life

Slow season sucks

For sure yes 🖤🖤

Yeah absolutely, I’m really wishing I had. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the words in that moment.

And then the fascist transphobes who start these groups have a whole busload of otherwise moderate cis women believing some of the most vulnerable and oppressed in our society are the enemy and ready to mobilise against them

Thus weaponising the appeal of community and women’s empowerment that people are longing for. But once they’re in that all fades away and it’s no longer about coming together as women but as having something to define their womanhood against.

That’s how they get people. Acting like discrimination against trans women is just common sense, that no ‘real’ woman would ever disagree with, so don’t worry about that, just come to our women’s group, we have biscuits and tea and we can talk about the menopause!

Was just changing after swimming at the pool and overheard some woman from a local terf group trying to recruit another woman by slowly pushing the conversation towards trans people, spewing all sorts of shit in this smiles and rainbows tone that tried to make it sound not so disgusting

Heavy rains in Gaza, where Israel has forced almost 2 million people from their homes.

At least I'm not the only one 🥲

The under-drawing for an oil painting figure study I'm starting tomorrow
