You make me look so freakin' hot in your drawings, it's so flattering!

#throwbackthursday from the flat file; a #drawing of multi-disciplinary artist @jngaio.bsky.social. an absolute talent, and well worth seeking out (her performance art is limited to Australia, but her paintings are affordable and she ships).

I do believe that our fear of the abnormal is fertile ground upon which we sow the seed of fascism. Therefore, in protest, I am going to start acting way more insane.

I just saw this! Thank you!

I am hardly on here because I’m not interested in sinking my life and energy into yet another misogynistic platform that hates hos. In general, I am trying to take control of my focus and energy. am currently figuring out what that means.

blusky when it sees a woman's body in any state of dress doing anything at all: "this is for sex"

i do so enjoy being used as a scapegoat while the fossil fuel industry burns the planet and harms millions.

Disassociation When a person is unconscious due to, for example, the effects of alcohol, we were taught in first aid class to roll the person onto their side, this is called the recovery position.

Wrote a new post about internet addiction, distraction and how vital it feels to overcome it in order to stand any chance of saving ourselves from annihilation. Yanno, just girly things.

good morning manchester

It's been awhile since I logged in here but I am trying to overcome some writer's block and fears around talking about the climate crisis/ecological emergency and so I wrote this: substack.com/home/post/p-...

It would mean a lot to have you read it, if you have capacity to do so.

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

Don’t worry, everyone - we washed all the blood off these diamonds!

Ok but seriously can that please be an app for my phone to help me break free from my social media addiction? Like, how do I sign up for this banshee service?

Those bloody stereotypes kept me from understanding myself and my needs for most of my life. I am so grateful for the autistic voices online who educate and advocate, self identifying as Autistic has changed my life.

Revisiting some smutty drawings from bygone years. It’s hard to find motivation to draw #erotica these days after so much censorship and I’m exhausted from speaking up about SW rights and dealing with stigma and discrimination. But I want to find a way back to this part of myself. #eroticart #art

Unsurprising. 'Obscenity' is regularly used as a weapon to target queer and tgd people; cf. e.g. Canadian customs officials claiming in 1986 that "The Joy of Gay Sex" was 'obscene', and Canadian police in 1992 claiming the same of Lesbian magazine "Bad Attitude".

There's something almost breathtakingly simple about the modern far-right: they hate life, they hate everything that is deep and glorious and beautiful and vivid and messy and kind and real.

Obviously they hate all marginalised people, but also nature, creativity, colour.

Be everything they hate.

Sex workers have been screaming about the rise of fascism for a long time but nobody was listening because you’ve all been indoctrinated to hate women who are in control of our own bodies and sexualities. Maybe it’s time to listen to us.

Trump and his pals are making porn illegal. Meanwhile, he’s been sexually assaulting women and having hedonistic parties with his vile pedophile pals for years. Fascist billionaires will take away your sexual freedoms while doing whatever they want in their own lives.

That’s really well said.

If you’ve sent me a text and I didn’t respond please know that I didn’t forget you, you’ll live on in my subconscious as a vague sense of dread forever

Abusive men will kill themselves and their partner before ever letting their partner be free and that is happening on a global scale. Men who have been taught that power is the most important thing will kill the planet and themselves rather than practice gratitude, humbleness, awe and love.

Mad envious of your organisational skills!

Yep. Soon as I had this happen to me, I lost any hope of this all being any better than any of the others.

A conservative person sits reading by a window. Their jowls tremble in outrage and their face is as red as a ripe strawberry. Finally, they sputter and shriek “UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS?! WHAT IS THIS _WOKE GARBAGE_?!!!” Then their whole body explodes.

Pretty sure when us millennials were kids, we mocked older generations too. Just a normal part of being young it seems, at least in cultures that fetishise fashion and youth.

Globally representative evidence on the actual and perceived support for climate action - Nature Climate Change Global support and cooperation are necessary for successful climate action. Large-scale representative survey results show that most of the population around the world is willing to support climate ac...

Most people support climate action—but think they’re alone.

A global survey of 130,000 people across 125 countries found a huge 89% majority want stronger climate action to address the #ClimateCrisis.
