Genuinely don’t understand how people can be outraged about Epstein abusing his power to abuse children but everyone still worships Micheal Jackson? Like, if Epstein had been really good at singing and dancing, would we be more willing to ignore the pedo shit? Am I missing something?

#auspol: The anti-trans talk of 'gender ideology' is analogous to talk of 'climate change ideology'. And i say this very consciously: let me, yet again, point to this investigation into the fossil fuel industry supporting anti-trans 'alternative facts'. #trans #transgender #lgbtqi #lgbt

coming up with so many instagram-free strategies and feelin hot n liberated 👹 also hi bluesky you're my favourite platform now

Counting on the rise of Ozempic and skinny diet cult-cher to mean that if all of my other attempts to make money fail, I can go back to making porn because fat middle-aged women will become a rarity and I can cash in on this wobbly belly and these chunky tiddies.

#throwbackthursday from the flat file; a #drawing of multi-disciplinary artist @jngaio.bsky.social. an absolute talent, and well worth seeking out (her performance art is limited to Australia, but her paintings are affordable and she ships).

I do believe that our fear of the abnormal is fertile ground upon which we sow the seed of fascism. Therefore, in protest, I am going to start acting way more insane.

Here's a environmental activism piece by my friend @jngaio.bsky.social, a queer and disabled woman. #art #activism #activistart

I am hardly on here because I’m not interested in sinking my life and energy into yet another misogynistic platform that hates hos. In general, I am trying to take control of my focus and energy. am currently figuring out what that means.

blusky when it sees a woman's body in any state of dress doing anything at all: "this is for sex"

i do so enjoy being used as a scapegoat while the fossil fuel industry burns the planet and harms millions. #auspol #climatechange #fossilfuelsfuelingtransphobia #trans #transgender #lgbtqi #lgbt

Wrote a new post about internet addiction, distraction and how vital it feels to overcome it in order to stand any chance of saving ourselves from annihilation. Yanno, just girly things.

good morning manchester

It's been awhile since I logged in here but I am trying to overcome some writer's block and fears around talking about the climate crisis/ecological emergency and so I wrote this: substack.com/home/post/p-... It would mean a lot to have you read it, if you have capacity to do so.

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

Artist Courtney Mattison creates large scale ceramic sculptural works inspired by the fragile beauty of coral reefs to raise awareness of the blue planet, urging protection of our oceans #womensart

Revisiting some smutty drawings from bygone years. It’s hard to find motivation to draw #erotica these days after so much censorship and I’m exhausted from speaking up about SW rights and dealing with stigma and discrimination. But I want to find a way back to this part of myself. #eroticart #art

Unsurprising. 'Obscenity' is regularly used as a weapon to target queer and tgd people; cf. e.g. Canadian customs officials claiming in 1986 that "The Joy of Gay Sex" was 'obscene', and Canadian police in 1992 claiming the same of Lesbian magazine "Bad Attitude". #queer #trans #transgender #porn

There's something almost breathtakingly simple about the modern far-right: they hate life, they hate everything that is deep and glorious and beautiful and vivid and messy and kind and real. Obviously they hate all marginalised people, but also nature, creativity, colour. Be everything they hate.

Sex workers have been screaming about the rise of fascism for a long time but nobody was listening because you’ve all been indoctrinated to hate women who are in control of our own bodies and sexualities. Maybe it’s time to listen to us.

Trump and his pals are making porn illegal. Meanwhile, he’s been sexually assaulting women and having hedonistic parties with his vile pedophile pals for years. Fascist billionaires will take away your sexual freedoms while doing whatever they want in their own lives.

If you’ve sent me a text and I didn’t respond please know that I didn’t forget you, you’ll live on in my subconscious as a vague sense of dread forever

Abusive men will kill themselves and their partner before ever letting their partner be free and that is happening on a global scale. Men who have been taught that power is the most important thing will kill the planet and themselves rather than practice gratitude, humbleness, awe and love.

A conservative person sits reading by a window. Their jowls tremble in outrage and their face is as red as a ripe strawberry. Finally, they sputter and shriek “UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS?! WHAT IS THIS _WOKE GARBAGE_?!!!” Then their whole body explodes.

Most people support climate action—but think they’re alone. A global survey of 130,000 people across 125 countries found a huge 89% majority want stronger climate action to address the #ClimateCrisis. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Naiads are guardians of rivers, streams, lakes, marshes, fountains and springs. These water nymphs were seen by the Greek as life-giving and life-nurturing deities; some were even thought to possess healing or prophetic powers. Photo by Charles Cook (1910) #eroticart #nudephotography #nymphs

It's no coincidence that radfem politics is making inroads at the same time the political right is ascendant. Both involve denial and/or erasure of diversity, hostility to evidence that counters their narratives, and paternalistic "we know what's best for everyone" attitudes and behaviours.

At first I thought it was weird that anyone would want to “cure” autism til I remembered that fascists hate artists, scientists, activists & anyone who doesn’t fit into a monoculture, factory farm model of how to be. They’re destroying biodiversity on earth, they also wanna destroy neurodiversity.

Kinda weird that “you’re catastrophising” is still a criticism when the climate crisis is literally the biggest threat to our existence that our species has ever faced. Am I catastrophising or are you just too chickenshit to face the facts and do what you can to be a part of positive change? 🤔

I really don’t wanna spend my whole life stressing trying to get the perfect body, the ideal partner, the flawless career, then look back & realize that I missed being present and neglected the magic in my journey ✨ — in the simplicity of a sunrise, in a blooming flower, in the smiles of my friends.

MORE MERMAY

Yet another image of an IOF soldiers dressed in the clothing of the women they've killed and displaced. There is no presently available psychology theory that can explain this level of morbid, psychosexual, genocidal behaviour.

Right?

When I was a kid, some other kids told me they had decided I was untrustworthy because I didn’t my eye contact while talking to them. So I taught myself to look at people’s faces as much as possible when talking to them. Except recently, at 40, I just realised that’s not actually eye contact. Oops.

I’d never speak for any other autistic person, only myself, but as I am resistant to the pathology paradigm and deeply skeptical of many facets of the fields of psychiatry and psychology, I’ve started to think of myself as “self-identified autistic” rather than “self-diagnosed”.

Today being Cinco de Mayo, I was reminded of this work by Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), Self Portrait on the Border between Mexico and the United States of America, 1932, oil on metal, 11 3/4" X 13 1/2" (31 × 35 cm), private collection. #arthistory #womenartists #womanartist #mexicanartist

“If we are to meet our critical moment in history, we need to reckon with the reality that we are not up against adversaries we have seen before. We are up against end times fascism.”

Been working on channeling my inner witchy hag in the last few years as I age. Did this little acrylic painting back in 2023 I think.

Saw some weird masks at the theatre last night. Did not look anything like this but that’s how inspiration works maybe.

One of the things I recently realized with my particular flavor of autism is it has made me hypervigilant about people's words/expressions/body language/etc. This would probably be great except I know for a fact I cannot trust my brain to correctly interpret any of it

Actually nauseating to hear Penny Wong speak with so much passion and enthusiasm right now after hearing her be so half-hearted and so mealy-mouthed so often about speaking against Israel’s genocide of Palestinians

Undiagnosed autism is spending your whole life doing things that make you uncomfortable or that are just not "you" (conforming) to avoid being mistreated (bullied) until you're so good at it that when you finally do get diagnosed, people around you don't believe you.

Soft sculpture painted in acrylic that I did back in 2017. This one was very popular and I should probably make more.

Doing something special to make a difference on Earth Day is as simple as picking a petition to sign. The beginning of the end of plastics to save our oceans, the species living in it, & removing the microplastics from our bodies seems like a good one to start with. #MomSky
