forgot how good it feels to wear an orthotic boot tbh

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

meant to draw Blue Eyes White Dragon (among others) as a warm up. Brain went “instructions unclear” and gave me these, instead.

He may play a CREEP but Mark Duplass is a stand-up guy, as Duplass Brothers Productions is teaming up with the Transgender Film Center to launch the Found Footage Fund for trans filmmakers.

hi, cis folks! trans people need your help! the FY26 budget gets a vote by 9/30. GOP wants a ban on funds for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. they're trying for other bans, too. we need you to call senators like chuck who don't get it: reps.fyi info & script in the🧵⬇️

me, grasping an increasingly disheveled picture of Yugi Mutou and muttering darkly under my breath: how the fuck do I draw you

My webcomic White Noise comes back from hiatus next Sunday, 9/28! In the lead-up, I'm going to use each day to spotlight each of the stories I've completed from it so far:

realized a big part of why I haven’t drawn much the past few years is bc I somehow Got Scared of Drawing. which is wild, bc I did it almost every day up until 2020!

a *lot* of anti trans shit coming from the house toward the FY26 bill & i can’t tell you how much it matters for a lot of people to tell dem senators—amidst the week’s jenga tower of moral panics—not to compromise & that trans people are worth fighting for. info & script in the QT ⬇️⬇️ please call!

Her: I'm coming over, you'd better not be thinking about how sandgrouse have paw pads like kitties. Me:

In case anyone would like a tool to throw together a quick portfolio site for some reason today...

Please, elected officials. I am begging you to step in before it’s too late. And if you’re here to tell me it’s already too late, kindly fuck all the way off.

the Yu-Gi-Oh! brain worms continue. I desperately want to draw the cast doing pottery

also one way to look at this: This bill is comparable to a US version of europe's Chat Control proposal so it needs to be taken seriously

Unlikely as it is to pass, I think maybe it'd be good to scream at your representative that you don't want people who view pornography to be on a sex offenders registry

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

I’m up to the Battle City arc in the ygo manga. I am so normal so very very normal about this comic

CALL YOUR REPS ABOUT THIS. If youre in missouri, especially call about it, but if youre not in Missouri you should still call your own reps and explain how this is unacceptable and demand action! www.congress.gov/members/find...

This is why we need to contact our representatives and express that obscenity laws/policies built around the concept of "obscenity" cannot be entertained, as it will be used as a bludgeon to attack any media those in power want, with no recourse. CALL YOUR REPS

i know SO MANY but this one is really the one that absolutely fucking destroys me every time. laughing at this for minutes at a time. hear it hurgling,,,

If you can get the updated Covid booster now, do it, because more restrictions may be coming. (I got mine last week!)

you can’t do shit about a police investigation or how big money will spin the news. but you know what you *can* do? help the actual people this will be/is being weaponized against. tap into the thread. make a few calls so people close to power know this *also* isn’t the time to bail on trans folks.

re-reading the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and I can fully feel myself slipping into my middle school obsession w this. deeply strange series

“Doctor Yiff” makes me cry with laughter every fucking time

once again mad abt how systems are treated in horror, found myself wishing for a story where someone realizes they’re part of a system and teams up w their other system member(s) against an outside threat then I realized that’s kind of the plot of Yu-Gi-Oh!*

Nintendo is really funny because they regularly do evil corpo shit but get a pass from their fans because their Gameboy comforted them when their parents were fighting.

"Degradation" and "fantasy" are so vague, but to see cat ears and fairies specifically mentioned let's me know they intend to be extremely broad with how they interpret it. This is "degenerate art" levels of censorship. We need ppl to start calling in the numbers we had a month ago about this

Not just cat ears either. A seller was told that "fantasy" in general (with "cat ears, fairies, etc" given as examples) is prohibited due to Visa/Mastercard rules. Anne Rice? Nekopara? Elf cosplay OF models? Lexx? Highlander? Conan the Barbarian (1982)? All banned because of a prude at a bank.

Visa and Mastercard reportedly coming for FAIRIES and CAT EARS Get on the phone and ask them wtf is up because this even made me double take bsky.app/profile/dark...

i think often about this discussion between Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hideaki Anno. it's one of the funniest ways anyone has ever talked about restraint vs self indulgence in art.

So a group of trans folks in Portland are trying to secure funds for a property they can use to house homeless bipoc trans women and femmes as well as providing meals to the growing homeless population. Literally anything helps so please donate or spread the word! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Sums it up.

I've been bedridden for the last 9 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again. If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive. ko-fi.com/fooneturing/

I just really want to change the narrative at this point to "People hate autistic folks so much they feel it's worth it to watch their kids and their pets die horribly."

been watching ygo videos for work noise lately and I really was struck by this image. bro where is it

lrp genuinely the only Good things about 2016 were PokeGo and Yuri!!! on Ice, and that was *it*

I keep seeing kids in their late teens and early 20s romanticize the year 2016. “It’s 2016 and you’re listening to this song…” Guys, nobody liked 2016. Until 2020, it was considered one of the worst years anyone had ever seen. Everyone cool died. It was fucking miserable. Stop it.

All cosmic horror aside, being trans is great and I never want to be or have wanted to be cis. I love my weird body I made myself from the bones of a sad dead boy who gave them willingly. I'm a creature and no one is gonna take that from me.

Damn right I back the blue. And by that I mean the United States Postal Service. Even more specifically, the six foot goth girl mail carrier I just saw walking her route.

tbh it’s kinda bullshit that I can’t get a rabies shot w/o either paying a bunch of money or getting bit. I’m a mailman, I feel like I should get it along w my lil can of pepper spray

got my covid, flu and first round of HPV shots ✨

🚨 UPDATE on the current COVID vaccine access situation in the US. Please note that this is based on state laws but different things may be happening on the ground, and some pharmacies are defaulting to federal guidelines instead of state laws.

had a dream that I was traveling the ren faire circuit w my pottery business. I was dressed like a dragon the entire time. that was a good dream…

spent my entire life not getting stung by wasps, then I get stung three times in one summer, what the hell

"T Shirt Money" is a new song about being trans in a passive aggressive, exploitative music industry, and it is very much a true story. I'm very proud of this one. Enjoy. horsecomplexrecords.bandcamp.com/album/t-shir...
