The best skill you can develop to get good at anything is the ability to laugh while continuing to push yourself. If you can't have fun with your mistakes, then you will have a miserable time getting better.

I think we should sentence more people to a lifetime of one-ply toilet paper

"Talent" is a lie told to obscure the work it takes to succeed at something and devalue the people doing the work and the work itself

I wouldn't call myself a "good poet" but I kept everything I ever wrote, and from ages 14 to 19 I wrote something almost every day. Looking back, I can clearly see the leaps and bounds I took in style and substance. These days, I produce a lot less poetry, but what I do produce I tend to love.

make bad art <3

transfem beach day called "transwimmin'"

This part took me *forever*. Like literally hours of doing it, erasing it, drawing over it, erasing it, going back to my sketches to see how I did it, redoing it... All for some rocks that you can tell I bullshitted if you look at them. It was so much fun! I learned a ton and had a blast.

So many takes on AI "art" rely on infantilizing poor and disabled people to justify using billionaires' tools to steal from poor and disabled people.

I taught myself to draw mostly in my 30s. Pick up the goddamn pencil!

let me be the sharp-toothed thing with spindly fingers that whispers in your ear as you sleep 🥺

In my experience, a lot of people's relationships boil down to "friends, partners, and whatever Sable is."

It's my man Ea-nâşir, purveyor of the finest quality copper!!

Someone who clearly understands the sensuousness of only the finest premium quality copper!

Welcome to the relentless commodification of everything you hold dear! It will never end!!

god forbid women have hobbies 🙄

finding a sweet cis chaser puppygirl feels like I stumbled onto an abundant source of unobtanium

I'm so proud of the work I do, and I'm so grateful I get to cackle through it at times. Also, let me know if you want anything transcribed. I'm looking for new clients who care about accessibility. 💙

my biggest transphobia red flag on dating apps is a cis lesbian describing herself as politically moderate

Australian transfem Hozier is like "I take my whiskey NEET and my coffee blick"

I have a big story about sex workers coming out next week and they are salt of the earth heroes doing the Lord’s (public health) work, it’s enraging how much stigma is heaped upon their humble dreams of survival compared to the whims of the depraved ruling class

baby, I can fill any of your holes except for the one in your soul

Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*. And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology. Don't submit to this one, folks.

can't call my gf "silly bones" because her deadname is Silliam Bones Jr 😔

Fun transfem date night: Making dinner Watching a show Cuddling Cooperative dissociation Playing video games

free use sub who goes to the grocery store and doesn't forget to get bred

Does anybody else notice the aperture getting smaller and smaller every year on that filter in your brain that tells you which emotions and thoughts you should express?

in my wildest dreams she tastes like copper on my tongue

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

even a great woman has faults....

Nietzschean Domme who wants to show you the unexhausted procreative will of life

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

call your friends more often! hear their adorable voices and tell them how much you love and appreciate them and see how they're doing! 🩷🩷

I remember when I used to watch Doctor Who and find it laughable how everyone would just forget that an alien invasion happened months or years prior. And then I grew up and realized they actually kind of downplayed that phenomenon!

Full on concentration camps. "We don't know half of what's going on in the camps, but we know enough" is echoing from 85 years ago.

Shitposting on Social Media: Both a Coping Mechanism AND a Structured Rebellion. In this lecture, I will explore the areas dealing with a broken system and how to navigate our way out of it...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Alf hog plastered all over the skyline. I watched T&S crumble over stolen teen porn. All those moments will be lost in time, like posts in hellthread. Time to delete.

I'm so tired of people saying I sound like I have my shit together when I have a BlueSky Elder badge right there to prove you otherwise

she died as she lived- posting

I made a political joke that hit the Discover page, I'm afraid I'm not long for this world 😔

It's Indigo's birthday!! 🎉 Go make fae's day extra special!! 💞

“How can I be a better ally to trans people?” Buy us pizza. This isn’t a joke. I’m fully serious.

How did we end up in the evil timeline when I always voted for the lesser of two evils?!

BlueSky's automod needs to step up its game. I got indefinitely suspended from Twitter once because I criticized Alien: Covenant. You gotta overtune the hell out of this thing.

An account you control, @PagliacciDaClown, has been suspended for the following post: "Who up doing clown shit, lmao? I'm thinking about ending my own life." Our moderation policies aim to encourage healthy discourse. For an example of a user we think exemplifies this spirit, see @PagliacciDaClown

you may feel a little pinch

Will forgot to sublimate the fear of being ignored by women into a kink instead of externalizing it as misogyny. Yet another thing he could learn if he just listened to trans women.

Good morning! I just got a big donation, so I am at $600/800 and then I can finally put this all to bed for good. Absolute deadline for this is the 10th. I don't see any ways out of this.
