#Pictish longspears WIP number 3, for this one I'm taking a few notes from the noblemen on the Brough of Birsay Pictish stone.

Pick a Bond villain from the pictures you already have on your phone.

I'm nervous about a great many things but I also finished animating Aodhàn's magma for the first scene of my video and it looks so beautiful that I want to cry I can't believe this is happening 🥹

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.
