The hardest thing I ever had to try to convey to well-meaning parent advocates is that they were going to have to work at the pace of a tired disabled person.

I will never not be mad that autism and ADHD (as specific examples) were defined without the input of the people with the condition. I didn't even know about the sensory aspects of autism until I found the autistic community.

In the meantime, you may check out my Metropolis Series for ✨ F R E E ✨ : jaypillerva.com/books 🌆

I plan to release this novel in 2028, marking the 10th anniversary of my debut novel, Quinn and the Metropolis. Nothing’s set in stone yet, but it’s nice to have a goal.

This book will be a standalone, but if you’ve read my Metropolis Series, Charli’s story will take place roughly 30 years after Quinn’s. I’ll admit that I haven’t made so much personal art this year because I chose to devote my free time to writing something new.

Merry Christmas 🎄🌟 Here’s a year-end drawing of my new characters, Charli and Kai, for my ongoing spin-off novel.

You know what, lets make this easier! Below are all the formation pieces done this year, what were your favorites this year, which ones are you looking forward to! Bugti Hills, Bahariya, Rio do Rasto, Gigantopithecus assemblage...

I have yet to see The War Between the Land and the Sea because Disney decided to give the finger to Doctor Who, but I have heard what happens and from what I've seen been said, I can't help but wonder if they're leaning into climate doomerism. Which is uh... concerning.

Cheers to all of you who’re estranged from family. I hope you have a warm, contented, and good end to your year without those fuckers in your life. You’re free.

I feel like this isn't even necessarily just an autism thing, it extends into social anxiety and introversion. To someone who loves throwing parties, adding guests is a good thing, but for your introverted guests it makes the difference between a event they could manage & one they can't.

Autistic people get a lot of crap for being "rigid" but if you understand how we're experiencing the world, certain things are legitimately a big deal. Family-only and family + friends are completely different and it's not even a debate.

I’ve said this so many times bts 😂 accurate

I should add I left out the next most obvious contrary possibility: that the ossifications are, to some degree, sesamoids. One of the "spikes" occurs in aplace that makes it very hard to use as a "spike," between two digits. It's worth thinking about and testing against, even if not conclusive.

I'm not an expert in egg-snatching, but I've done a fair bit of investigating into the subject, and I'll say right now, most egg-eaters consume their food in situ (that is, in the nest). They don't take it somewhere else. Egg-carrying is highly inefficient, and adaptations for it are questionable.

The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory explicitly names the Israeli President as responsible for inciting genocide — and yet Albanese is inviting him here. Shameful and scandalous!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't think I'll draw anyone else from Hazbin Hotel, but these two are a fun pair #art #digitalart #fanart #HazbinHotel #SirPentious #CherriBomb #cherrisnake

New alvarezsaurian dinosaur Manipulonyx reshetovi: www.zin.ru/journals/tru... As if alvarezsaurid hands couldn't get any weirder, this one preserves several odd, spike-like elements, interpreted as adaptations for gripping eggs. I have thoughts but they'll have to wait... 🧪 (📷Averianov et al.)

One more incidental thought wrinkle: Many trans women I know have been deeply shamed and hurt for liking “problematic” or “wrong” things by partners, especially early in transition, as if induction to femininity required thinking and acting right during a time of open-ended transformation. It sucks

This has been on my mind often lately, albeit from different points of inspiration. Recognize what you are bringing to what you read, watch, and listen to, and what you take away from it. If you treat yourself like an empty vessel that's simply filled by whatever you encounter, that's trouble.

"People take what they need and change what they don’t; they read, interrogate, contextualize; in this way, history moves forward. The question is not what the books say. The question is always you, the reader; what you take, what you leave, and how you change the world."

in terms of new things i've learned recently, i discovered that fall out boy's name comes from the simpsons, and that termites aren't merely related to cockroaches but literally ARE cockroaches these aren't related but uh yeah

wtf patrick stump was also ruberiot from star vs the forces of evil this is what i get for not caring about popular music lol

'“No religion, no ideology, no philosophy, has ever been as all-encompassing as the economic logic of capitalism,” Beckert claims, defining it as “the ceaseless accumulation of privately controlled capital”.' pretty much, yeah

"It turns out that banishing the [R-word] slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back & it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred & bigotry." @lollardfish.bsky.social: www.startribune.com/r-word-slur-...

Male moa POV.

Megalonyx, a ground sloth, rests among the snow.

3/ 'On Thursday the PM, Scott Morrison, made a concession to [political] pressure, announcing the Liberal party would place One Nation below the Labor party on its HTV cards. “The linkages to Port Arthur, I’m sure all Australians would be shocked about,” Morrison said.' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2/ ... especially as expressed in 'The Truth' (1997). I've misplaced my copy, but in the meantime, the conspiracy yadda yadda about the Port Arthur massacre finds its grisly echo in fairy tales about the Bondi beach shooting. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

'Hanson visited Bondi Beach in the days after the antisemitic attack on the Chanukah by the Sea festival, which claimed the lives of 15 people in Australia’s most deadly mass shooting since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre'; about which she had some opinions ... www.theage.com.au/politics/que...

Now this is done, I’ll go back to more sporadic art – but I’ve had a great time with this chart, and I won’t rule out another in the future. It’s nice to have a regular series to keep me artistically active. I do welcome suggestions but be prepared for me to not do any! (6/6)

For example, can you spot the mysterious Kem Kem thyreophoran/notosuchian? Or the silhouettes hinting at further theropod and toothed pterosaur diversity? See if you can decipher all the silhouettes – the fish are tricky! (5/6)

Another new addition is the many silhouettes! These are animals that I did not want to do full illustrations for – due to either their size or fragmentary nature. Some are left very vague or obscured, to hint towards larger gaps in our understanding. (4/6)

You may notice that a second Spinosaurus has appeared! I thought the aquatic section needed a sort of ‘flow anchor’ to help the composition, and it made sense, with Spinosaurus being the poster child for the Kem Kem. Also, I thought the Onchopristis was having too good a time. (3/6)
