Please don't let outside forces damper who you are. Please do not let people destroy your light. You were meant to shine bright and whatever tries to snuff out that light is not meant to be in your life.

thank you everyone who still makes art despite everything

If I see gen AI compared to the advent of the camera one more time they are getting an elbow to the face. The camera did not require billions of dollars of infrastructure, training, stolen data, and environmental destruction to operate.

overbound Katarina Gotic 31 of wim's favourite poems from kith books #SealeyChallenge 7/31

There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Is that an ART??! 🥨🥨🥨

One way to reduce stress is to meditate. Another way is to not live under a fascist government. This has been wellness tips!

my first full length :,) so so proud of how this turned out - @kithbooks.bsky.social offered amazing support & guidance as I worked on this. Would mean the world if y'all checked it out ^u^

For anyone who envies the sure thing of born knowing, Flowers reaches across indecision and reminds us that, for so many born in a world without options, awakenings are slower, and hurt that little bit more. @clemflowers.bsky.social

in the mood/ want/ need for something with a sprig of hope & happiness in it, might I suggest this travelog as poetry chapbook//meditation on some positive formative life experiences of youth//reflection on the good that still lives in a bitter world? :) fifthwheelpress.myshopify.com/products/mak...

I think about this bird plush all the time.

Bird sounds.

nat raum pushes back against the sanitized polite, pliable, & otherwise "perfect" trans ideal deemed acceptable by society—if, and when, they are accepted at all—with poems that highlight the righteous, the cruel, and the ugly of existing in a cis het patriarchal world @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social
