from "A world in which women move freely without fear of men: An anthropological perspective on rape" by Maria-Barbara Watson-Franke made me cry

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime "American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

All hands on deck, folks. This will effectively eliminate all books by queer authors and about queer lives, even books with secondary characters, books where the author or a character uses they/them pronouns. This bill will erase identities and harm kids. And it won't stop at public schools.

We've been holding onto some big news. Early in the week of Nov 17, a #KatrinaDeclaration signer who was on administrative leave was suddenly terminated.The rest of the public signers spent the week on pins and needles. 1/10

murderbot fanart, as per usual. the fandom may be horrible for fans of mensah and murderbot, but the source material is so beautiful

So much of the post-2024 discourse among Democrats has been infuriating, because it's essentially marginalizing the already marginalized. Dr. Crenshaw unpacks that so well. Transcript (newrepublic.com/article/2036...) and video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ihF...)

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

it's pet portrait season... here's one i did back in 2018 for my father

i spoke about wings you just flew i wondered and i guessed and i tried you just knew #murderbot #murderbotdiaries

i don't normally post cartoony stuff here, but why not. mensah/pin-lee and bharadwaj/pin-lee from the murderbot diaries :] #murderbot #murderbotdiaries

figure study from photo reference-- wip, since things are never done these days

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued. 66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job. Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone. Pay Black women. Period.

a painting of the #murderbot tv show's arada (played by tattiawna jones) based on that great expression she makes while looking at pin-lee in episode 4 after pin-lee says "[if something happens to mensah] everyone will hate us— i will hate us!" speedpaint here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPKZ...

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

a painting of pin-lee (played by sabrina wu) exclusively using the flat marker brush in clip studio. this scene was my favorite addition to the #murderbot story thus far— it sold me on the show's angle on mensah and pin-lee's dynamic, and it was so perfectly executed

i've had the photo this is based on saved to my computer since college, so i'm glad i finally got to do a study of it. this was painted exclusively using the flat marker brush in clip studio paint. the words are from "backfire" by aimee mann 💛

a painting of dr. mensah (played by noma dumezweni) from episode 2 of the #murderbot tv show. i tried to stylize this portrait a little more than usual. also, recorded a speedpaint: youtu.be/skr9xyENO_M

a painting of bharadwaj (played by tamara podemski) from episode 2 of the #murderbot tv show. i loved this scene!!

a painting of noma dumezweni (who plays dr. mensah in the murderbot tv show) and alexander skarsgård (who plays murderbot) based off of a picture from the murderbot premier! i can't wait to see how their characters interact in the show, those were my most favorite bits in the book series 👾

RFK Jr. says we should be a “colorblind” country. That’s not a thing. Health disparities by race are REAL: cancer, maternal mortality, COVID hospitalizations… Black, Hispanic, Native communities bear the brunt. “Colorblindness” is lazy and dangerous racism. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/cult...

If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic. "Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic.

Sometimes an artist is happy with their work ^^

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.
