Is it a death sentence when anime series stream outside of Crunchyroll? Kalai Chik looks at the numbers to see whether the common conception is true.

Tummy for morale for anyone who needs it today

Helped to do research for a truly excellent podcast! Please listen to them!

as an artist, I basically live by this ancient tumblr post, and I'm not kidding.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

I am currently unemployed & I could use a little help with paying my phone bill this month! I need $70 to cover it. (I will be more financially secure next month so I only need help this month) Anything would help if you can spare it! Thank you lovelies. <3 ko-fi.com/darlingarlo

DA game night: @roastey.bsky.social sure does give good hugs! :)

The thing about doing historical research for shits and giggles is that I now am probably slightly too caffeinated and cannot shut up about the Hope Diamond and the absolutely bonkers way it ties in with the misfortunes of so many people with more money than sense.

He loafs.

“Well hello there.” Meet [REDACTED]. Red for short.

I don't know if I'll have insurance if the shutdown happens (or worse tbh) but my hrt appointment is tomorrow 🫠 I was hoping to stay with planned parenthood but the current administration killed that and I have no more testosterone refills. If interested in this ych commission email ryufoxe@gmail

RIP to my butterfly themed warlock who died by giant mosquito in yesterday’s DnD session lol. I’ve gifted her character to my DM to use as a NPC later but she’s probably gonna be ✨DIFFERENT✨

He’s trying to commit insurance fraud

To our trans community: We know it’s been a long year, and that the news cycle and hateful attacks can take a toll. We feel it too. You are not alone. You are loved, you are seen, and we will never stop showing up for you.

I now know how to induce a sinus infection on purpose. TF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION??

Concept to final! Meet Lucio! Don’t let the pfp fool you, his hair will be constantly changing and getting rebraided (if he’s alive by next session lol)

I'm tabling at GDEX (Columbus Ohio) this weekend. The Homestuck stickers are being debuted here + if you're a fan of my Dragon Age content, you can ask for a free sticker of one of the boys :D

Tell the IRS that we all love direct file (and that Intuit/Turbo Tax's lobbists can go pound salt)

Coworkers have now realized that if they speak about certain pieces of media around me, it’s the equivalent to revving a chainsaw. I can and will rant about it for about 45 minutes and it will explain why I’m banned from specific fandom trivia nights.

Hey talk! My hometown introduced legislation to make it a trans sanctuary city. The democratic socialists of Cleveland are collecting signatures to support this legislation! Please boost and sign, even if you aren’t in the area. actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

An art journey six years in the making. Looks like I still like torturing myself with details though. Worth it!

Just FYI to LA folks: If you see ICE in your community, call the LA Rapid Response Network Hotline at 1-888-624-4752 to report it.

Post a random photo otherwise everything goes wrong in June.

I am begging my brain to let me finish anything rn lol. For now, enjoy these weird sketchy concepts of Hermes from #epicthemusical

My bank account overdrafted and I’ll need about $60 to cover it 😭 If anyone wants a chibi commission or maybe wants tocheck out my poetry or zines, please do! I’d appreciate any help I can get. wildeyedsapphic.itch.io ko-fi.com/darlingarlo/...

Yet another image of pretty lady in a pretty dress. I’m coping.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

I canNOT be here playing Epic: The Musical again for the fifth time this weekend. AND YET.

Listen I know shit sucks but PLEASE find the things that make you happy and keep doing them. It is not frivolous. It is how you survive.

Thank you to everyone who has donated and checked in so far. We still need to raise $1000 more. Anything helps, even just a share.

I've gotten my dental stuff mostly taken care of so I started a new ko-fi goal for moving funds. My goal is to move out of state at the end of this year if possible! I also have zines for sale on my itchio if you'd prefer to get something from a donation! ko-fi.com/darlingarlo/...

Am I predictable yet?

More of pretty lady

No anatomy thoughts. Just pretty lady.

HANG IN THERE BABY!! #art

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

HBO has declined to renew “Sesame Street” for new episodes. The series that’s been teaching generations of little kids since 1969 now has no studio. Please consider donating to Sesame Workshop to ensure the residents of 123 Sesame Street are still around to teach kids of all needs and backgrounds.

I wanted to draw a lot more this year, but never found the energy to finish most of the things that I started. Did a lot of writing though. Anyone want to read a TAZ: Balance crackfic that got way too out of hand?

i could still use some help on this front! i got my most pressing bills covered but december is fast approaching, and i'm still at 27% of my goal ko-fi.com/quinnntastic

Sharing again, any shares or donations help so much!

Not to blog about it but the reliance on AI for creative endeavors funnels right into fascism because if you stop believing you can imagine something fantastical on your own, you stop believing anything is possible beyond what is fed to you.

I’ve made a GFM to ask for help with catching up on bills/expenses, any help or shares would be greatly appreciated. 💜 www.gofundme.com/f/help-arlo-...

Seeing a lot of talk about organizing libraries of queer books in the face of book bans, which is great! There are people already doing this work that need your support. Seek out library projects already in motion, like The Queer Liberation Library! queerliberationlibrary.org

Peekaboo for morale

Alternatively, there was also chibi Vax

Post your most popular art from Twitter Had to be this Caleb Widogast from back when I was still job hunting. This was far from perfect, but it made it onto the Critical Role art reel and I got to witness it during the stream. Good times good times.
