I was so bummed to be too busy with moving to draw more for Halloween so I'm making up for lost time- only to get an eye infection so I had to squint through painful eyes to finish this painting ๐ญ The forest behind our new house is full of heathers, and it made me think of a broom made of heathers

Crunchyroll really was a great fan created site and now they intentionally don't hire people who might relate to the fans. It feels like the current ethos is "let's create the worst possible product that people will still begrudgingly pay for"

It's extremely depressing that anime went from a more obscure medium to front and center mainstream during my lifetime, but this translated to the medium transitioning from "for fans by fans" to pure exploitative capitalism with us as the captive audience

I brewed a late morning coffee, put a Sturgill Simpson record on the turntable, and as soon as "Breakers Roar" started, I immediately wanted to rewatch Alex Garland's "Civil War"

This is precisely the point, BBC. Anyone challenging does not know whether they are challenging someone trans or cis "based on appearance". They just suspect. Based on what? Height? Shoe size? Grooming? Make-up? Clothes? All women's rights put back decades, by a group of toxic, rich transphobes. ๐๐ฝ

"Trans people could be asked about whether they should be accessing single-sex services based on their physical appearance." No. not "trans people". ANYONE. This moral panic leads inexorably to the policing of women based on their appearance deemed to be "unfeminine".

Trans people could be barred from services based on appearance
The new code of practice on access to single-sex services cannot gain legal force until it gets sign-off from ministers.

If you were a British teenage indie kid, you're probably already familiar with this. But in case you aren't... It gets *really* good around three and a half minutes in, where it's an instrumental jam. Just John, Mani and Reni having a blast โค๏ธโ๐ฅ

What many politicians don't realise - or want to understand - is that many of the "highly-skilled" immigrants whose labour they crave were raised by the same asylum seekers and refugees they openly despise. They take the racist political rhetoric personally, and act accordingly. Why wouldn't they?
