You don't need to constantly davinci masterpieces. Have fun. Fuck around. See how many times you can draw something badly before you accidentally make it good. Daily drawing challenge are not skill checks, they are dares: How ✨LITTLE EFFORT✨ is enough?

Did not realize how difficult it would be to pick a paintbrush back up after 2 years of not doing it. All the confidence I was starting to gain during Artober 2023 which I assumed would still be there, just completely vanished into staring-at-blank-page paralysis while I wasn't looking.

Did my part. I'd already canceled Disney+ earlier this year after the $15 million settlement and pulled trans sports episode of 'Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur,' but now it's a full boycott of all Disney-owned brands. No money for bootlickers who won't stand up against fascism.

Downloading MP3s, ripping CDs, and making your own music playlists is so much better than streaming and letting an algorithm curate it for you. Also, PHONES SHOULD HAVE HEADPHONE JACKS. I'm tired of hearing unmuted screaming reaction videos everywhere I go.

Every time I feel like I know a lot about the rise of fascism in Germany, I learn something new.

five more days please im losing my goddamn miiiiind give it to meeee

Sometimes I wonder if the reason fash hate Superman so much, and only ever want him depicted as a villain, compromised, or failing, is because the idea of anyone simply actually being kind is an idea they can’t buy into. Their ideology only makes sense with a belief that society is inherently…

“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”

Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy.

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.

I'm glad South Park came out swinging against Trump's attempts to capture the media. But I can never forgive them for the irreparable harm they've caused to trans discourse. The sheer number of times people have quoted "Board Girls" and "Mr Garrison's Fancy New Vagina" in my videos' comments...

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

The same man on both. Tell me which which is catering to the female gaze.

I challenge all of you to go to Jesse's channel and look at the song titles. Then subscribe because this kid may be the most important music voice there is right now. I have been asking for years where the protest songs are. Jesse is it.

This is my new favourite video... 😊 #bluesky

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

Desperately needed some vent sketching today

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

/wonders if we should even be calling AI art "Art" in the first place. Like, definitionally, what makes something "Art" is the application of human creative skill and imagination. The slop that these programs make is not "Art." It's just a consumer product meant to resemble actual art.

As we approach hurricane season, a remindeder that the absolute best bar none storm coverage I follow every year is Yale Climate Connection's Eye on the Storm. I live in a hurricane-prone area so this reporting is vital for me and millions of others, and they do it better than anyone else.

Apparently my cat Jiji really likes the smell of pool water

Forget all this LGBT Pride / Wrath month discourse... When do we get an LGBT Gluttony month? I want snacc!

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know: openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac.. I'm starting to think that I'm getting more and more strange in others' eyes as I age. (I don't say this as a bad thing. Lots of pure-hearted characters in here.)

PSA: my cat is a baby

Only a rainbow, but what a rainbow.

There’s a point in this video Carla calls for everyone who is not trans to cheer so that all the trans folk can see how present they are 😁

From my latest piece. The true motivating energy behind the anti-trans activists of today.

My long-term artistic goal has been YouTube for a while now... But I'm rethinking it, because earlier this week I had a reply go semi-viral here, and my first reaction to waking up to 100+ notifications was sheer terror rather than joy. Maybe I don't actually want to be seen by more people.

I was THIS close to shooting my first under-par round in disc golf yesterday. Was at -1 going into hole 17. Two back-to-back botched easy approaches leaving me with deep C1 tester putts, and then two back-to-back missed deep-C1 tester putts later, finished at +1. Sigh... so close...

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

Better a pig than a gen A.I. user!

Sometimes, I think poorly of my body. And then I think of "The Substance" and I'm like "Nononono you're lovely and wonderful Michelle, don't let the shrimp eating patriarchy delude you like that".

1. Incredible ruling! An Ohio appeals court has ruled that trans care is healthcare, strikes down youth trans care ban! It made the ruling using the Republican-passed "health care freedom amendment" meant to overturn Obamacare! Subscribe to support my journalism. You'll want to read this one.

i think she missed me 🥹😻

Another example of the outstanding work of the folks at the NWS Storm Prediction Center! The initial risk area was denoted on the Day 6 Severe Weather Outlook with continued messaging of a significant severe weather threat up to the event day *Note: Reports are preliminary (likely more to come)

RFK nonsense: Seed oils contributing to inflammation. They don't. RFK nonsense: Frying in animal fat somehow makes fast food "healthy." It's processed low-nutrient high-GI garbage regardless. Truth nugget: Beef tallow does not oxidize in a repeat-heating fast-food environment. Less free-radicals.

You're not childish, you're whimsical. What's childish is to act like being boring, showing no emotion, and owing expensive things is a marker a maturity, while simultaneously treating everything like a game.

Like, my faith in humans has always not been there, but I don't think that I can ever view so many people in the same light that I did pre-Trump, because there is no reason that so many people should be this aggressively cruel and uninformed.

One thing that really bugs me about so many of the anti-trans arguments about sports is that they'll be like, "Lia Thomas was a giant! Clearly she had an unfair advantage!" when the reality was just that she was pretty much the same size as other elite women swimmers.

every time the "what can we do to connect to young men and pull them off right wing paths" convo comes up i keep thinking "have the suburban libs decided to pull back on making it illegal for kids to exist in public yet? because that'd be a great place to start"

dems are probably going to eat shit from fox & newsmax & the NYT for this for a news cycle. or until the recession hits. you’re going to hate that i’m asking this, but if you have a dem senator who voted to stop this, you should call & tell them “good job. we like when you fight. keep it up.”
