Some art I did for a Halloween contest ✨

Stop asking me if I'm interested in AI mode. I will never be interested in AI mode.

HIIIII COMMUNITY! 👋 Wow. THIS SUNDAY, October 19th from 10AM - 4PM at Washington Park Lake House in Albany is A BIG GAY MARKET! 🌈 This guide includes tips on parking, best ways to get to the market, our full schedule, our most up to date map, and MORE! 🎉

Needing to remember this today

We'll be here in spot 77 (Purple Starlight Art) on Sunday!

If you're in/around Syracuse, NY tomorrow, come check out @thesimbiote.bsky.social and @bloodofstarsart.bsky.social's booth at #LunaconIV! A Japanese Cultural Festival where you'll find Art Vendors, Gaming, Food, and Cats!

I just really fucking love being queer, actually

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

I don't know if it was an update in the storygraph app or my phone, but the search bar & menu are both fully behind the notification bar and unable to be interacted with 🙃 I get that the phone wants to have maximum display space, but this happens often enough that I wish it just had a regular bar

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”

Stretching. 🧘

Faerie Fest yesterday! First time wearing a corset and it did an amazing job at keeping my wiggly bones in place, so I think I need to get more of them 😂 We had fun and got some cool art from the vendors, and amazingly didn't sweat into puddles!

Remember making art and expressing joy is a form of protest. They want you to be overwhelmed and lose sight of the beauty around you. They want to distract you and control your gaze to be locked in fear. Dare to look and gaze on the world around you with joy and wonder.

once again I must tap my own sign

How dare my disability disable me. RUDE.

You do not have to accept repeat Covid infections as inevitable. Mitigations work. Layers work best. Get your booster. Clean & ventilate the air. Test and stay home when sick. Perhaps most important of all, wear a well fitted N95. It protects you & those around you. Community care can save us!

I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it: This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.

Birthday treat for my birthday girl 🎂 can't believe she's 5! 🥹

Earlier I saw a cute reel of a first-time momma cow and her very fresh baby calf, but I'm baffled as to why the OP used AI to respond to comments??? Why are we outsourcing the most basic levels of thinking to a hallucinating text generator 😭 and the tone is so obvious

Flea collar life hack 💥 I'm sure it's not officially sanctioned but there's plenty of length for two, and zip tying them to the insides of the regular collars keeps the chemicals from getting on the humans 🤷🏻‍♀️

*crab-walked

Shout-out to the woman at Wegmans yesterday who tried to take a sneaky picture of April and I (I assume because we were wearing masks) but was exposed by her flash being on 🤡

My voice is currently like a solid 5 notes below normal because on top of the normal voice muffling of my mask, the convention venue was also incredibly loud, so I had to talk as loudly as I could without actually yelling 😅 I need some tea

. @thesimbiote.bsky.social and I were going to try to take some video clips to do a mini vlog about the con we were selling at, talked about it before leaving the house, aaand remembered while sitting in the sonic drive through after the con ended 😅

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

I was going to wait on publishing this one but it seems even more relevant now. No human being is illegal. #resist #abolishice

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

Entire podcasts were dedicated to the question of what JK Rowling has ever done that’s transphobic. She has openly been working toward this outcome for years.

I honestly can’t stop thinking about this RFK speech. A lot of the outrage around it is focused on pointing out that it’s not true. But so fucking what if it was? Do people whose bodies don’t work not deserve to exist in society? If all these things were true for a person are they less worthy?

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

Been rereading The Hunger Games trilogy for the first time in prob close to a decade so I can read the two new books, and idk if it's just the nostalgia goggles and the current state of the world, but damn they're still so so good I can't wait to get to the new ones

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

"Strawberry Daydream" 🍓 I love a good creamy bandana on an adorable cat. I finished this at 2AM! #gouache #painting #illustration

Wow so fun seeing all the leftists I follow cheer for Jasmine Crockett calling Greg Abbott an ableist nickname 🙃 did we not already have this conversation about not deadnaming ppl like Caitlin Jenner?? Abbott's a shit person but why are we bringing his wheelchair into this

RIP to the stickers that were supposed to get here in time for my event tomorrow 🙃 I paid extra for 2-3 day shipping, and day 3 was today, but USPS has decided that Monday is "on time" 🙄

🚨🚨THIS IS A CRITICAL CALL. HOCHUL IS TRYING TO ENACT A MASK BAN IN NY 🚨🚨

NEW: New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul is reviving her push to ban masks and is urging New York State lawmakers to include a mask ban in the upcoming state budget. This move endangers public health and threatens civil liberties.

Is posting wordle still a thing people do? I just downloaded the nyt app a few days ago lol Wordle 1,356 3/6 🟩🟩⬛🟨⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Just stop buying from Temu. It is that easy. Temu does not sell legitimate merchandise and rips off small creators constantly. If you support small businesses don't buy on Temu.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

The fatality rate for bird flu in cats is staggeringly high (up to 90% depending on the study). Outdoor cats are at highest risk. Keep your cats inside. Don’t feed them raw food. Keep them away from birds (especially water birds). Wash your hands thoroughly if you’ve been in contact with livestock
