Censoring expression by algorithmically determining whether or not an NSFW artwork is consensual does NOT help anyone. This does NOT help real victims. You know who this HURTS? Artists who make their livings through commissions. Don't care? Think this won't hurt YOUR sfw art? Babe, it STARTS here.

There's no shame in being wrong about something. There is shame in choosing to be wrong.

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

Still drawing, but college has started up again, and my degree is my top priority. I've been working on a few things that I'd really like to share though... just, you know, it'll take a while before posting! My fatigue has been creeping back so I have to be very slow, but I am not giving up! ❤️

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Btw, I remember there being some anxieties around folks expressing their opinions during primaries. Besides being nowhere near a presidential primary at the moment, now is in fact the time for people to express certain lines they expect candidates not to cross. Protect trans folks.

Blocking/muting people who say fucked up shit to you instead of arguing with them on the Internet is self care

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries - hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf - art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

You sure about this, Google?

Please. "but what if the creator did ___" use your common sense. If you have to make a throwaway account to harass someone, that might be a sign that you should stop what you're doing. You know. Common sense. We can make things better, I know we can.

An astronomy professor colleague of mine once relayed trying to explain to his students why it was important that they actually write their class reports themselves. “The point is not to teach ME about neutron stars,” he said.

if ur trans ur valid just an fyi

"ai makes art accessible" is an argument i hate to my fucking bones. Art is EASILY accessible, I'd argue it's the cheapest most accessible hobby because all you need is a pen and paper. "yeah but not everyone has skills" no everyone has the skill, you just need to put in the work 1/7 🧵

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."
