Ya'll don't even know how big a deal this is So many Indig people still MASSIVELY distrust giving birth in hospitals. Forced sterilization, nurses pressuring new moms to give up their kids for adoption "so they'd have a good life" all reasons why having sovereignty over birth MATTERS

the "draw her fatter" crowd are so cute to me because these ppl have obvious fat/feederism kinks but hide it behind 7000 layers of memes and irony or morality- like no bro it's ok to like fat tummies we're gonna be ok

and also ppl kinda flinch virtually when they see the word "nigga" or just get weird Abt it.

bsky is missing that funny edge that most other websites have. I'm not saying that this place has to have ppl try to be the funniest person in the room but it is boring when everyone has the same leftist millennial humor that is weirdly white/American centered

If Gamers were serious about combatting their own oppression they’d march in the streets in outrage that Sony and Microsoft still sell controllers without back buttons instead of screaming about if a female protagonist is pretty enough or not.

I want cis Americans to sit uncomfortably with the fact that most of these restrictions were ushered in through the liberal act of "just asking questions" about trans people.

this is on my mind too but people thinking I deserve bad things and to have my art censored because I draw half naked furries who are queer and black coded are such prudes istg. I can't believe this reactionary thinking of wanting to remove art that's not 100% sfw friendly is so popular

I don't think fascism has ever gone away but it is widespread more than ever cuz of social media. people will parade around being punk or whatever but genuinely get scared of fat bodies being drawn in a sexually positive manner. art should be allowed to be risque and horny.

Anyway I'm going to say this now just so we understand; if at any point in time during my entire existence online if I get "too political" as an artist, I've got news for you buddy. OP is an artist btw, what a fucking shitty thing to say

I was recently on vacation, chatting with a seemingly nice Canadian. Then he starts going on and on about "how entitled" and "lazy" Indigenous people in Canada are, "all they want are more handouts." I know all eyes are on America being the psycho clown next door, but this needs more daylight:

unless they either turn to the camera and say the exact or the author has to confirm it. this cisnormativity, which tends to treat characters as real people and sex as an impossible paradox, has had a chilling effect on queer people being able to recognize trans readings outside of headcanons

the effect of trans discourses over here has had a funny result in that, in discussions of fiction, people further entrench cisness to be universal - that is to say, a character can literally desire transition but still be cis b/c "cis people can have/do X" - but a character is simply never trans

Translation: "We can determine a child's criminality based on genetic factors alone." That's racism + eugenics! Remember not to let them hide behind language. (This article does a decent job of countering with facts) Genuinely no valid reason but to get young POC into profit prisons/labour camps

Losing myself. #signalis #art

Lotta cool trans people whose work you should check out or who you should hire in this thread

"Being seen as a threat" is just how a lot of tme people default see trans women tho

Indigenous protestors were trying to bring attention to decades of mercury poisoning in their community. Mark Carney's response? "I can outlast her"

(I saw a video about this, so I had to get the source.) Folks want fictional species to exist yet they can't handle different skin/hair colors, genders, disabilities, religions, cultures, arts, fashion, hand dominance, etc. So why should fictional species exist if they'll face discrimination too?

You don’t really need a budget to do indie animation, the problem is “indie animation” has been reduced to bigger budget/studio works with insane frame-by-frame animation, a big crew/voice cast and a merch line instead of scrappy shit you make in a week by yourself or with some friends in Flash.

Pixar was the single handed most misogyny I ever experienced to my face in my life, stemming from my work being "too girlish" with an insinuated, but never directly stated "and too gay", while also complaining that I was perplexing for not behaving like their perception of a normal "woman"

Taking a long break as much as I would like to ignore discourse. When it involves trans women i dont exactly have the privilege to just ignore it. In the end as a creative I really have come to realize how little I can trust other people to be normal about someone like me in spaces like that.

For the rest of you, the fear of an angry tgirl mob doesnt mean you get to punch down at all of us. It doesnt mean you get to erase our identities and experiences and demand we act as if none of that affects us.

Had to spend a good chunk of money on transit lately so any comms are appreciated! I have more options available than just the Halloween icons! If you have any questions, you can ask on my vgen or my discord if you happen to have it! Thank you!!

We also need to raise hell for every trans and brown and queer and black person who is not nearly as famous as Kimmel. Normal, everyday people deserve to be just as loudly defended.

I'll say it again, Art is communication. "Create for yourself" really means "Create art that communicates who you are." And one sided communication feels terrible. Commenting on peoples art/creations can be scary, I get it. But COMMENT. COMMUNICATE. We want to hear it. I want to hear it.

If you think that's bad, imagine what it'd be like to be a trans woman expressing her opinions online

Trans joy is inherently linked to bodily autonomy and freedom of expression, intertwined with the idea that you can choose authenticity over being a good drone for neofeudalism. That's why fascists are so hell bent on silencing our joy, muting our voices, and stripping our access to public spaces.

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

Fujimoto holy shit

If trans rights get taken away then that opens the door for them to take away others’ rights also. Saying trans rights are human rights is not hyperbole or an exaggeration because you know it’s not so don’t leave anything to chance. especially when dealing with legitimately gleefully evil people.

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

i feel like I make these posts occasionally because I'm tired of seeing this dogshit colorist trope.
