Its just very saddening that people who go "im progressive im an ally!" or are even trans themselves will repeat the lie that trans men aren't murdered, arent raped, and have it the easiest. They say "transphobes ignore trans men" while every week I hear that a trans man was murdered, that a trans man i knew killed himself, and that a trans man friend of my mine was SAed or raped.

watched some video about a shitty kid yesterday and caught myself thinking "my god the kids these days are out of control" and praise the Lord I immediately reflexively scolded myself like "you were exactly this stupid when you were 13, stupider probably, here's a memory of you doing and saying something so completely terrible because you were a kid and kids don't know better" you cannot let up your vigilance even for a moment, you must constantly fight against age related conservatism and never stop internally interrogating your reactions

there is a huge difference between criticizing an institution and criticizing individual behavior. i can criticize the makeup industry without criticizing the 14 year old girl who uses concealer because she’s self-conscious about her acne; i can criticize the plastic surgery industry without vilifying the woman who decided to get a nose job after two decades of pointed comments and bullying. it is intellectually dishonest to respond to an institutional criticism as if it were a personal attack; on the flip side, it is cruel and unnecessary to leverage personal attacks in the name of institutional criticism

if i see one (1) more person respond to a perfectly reasonable beauty-industry-critical sentiment with “but i personally enjoy eyeshadow. why are you attacking people who like eyeshadow :(” or “exactly, all women who wear makeup are miserable and brainwashed” i am going to climb a tree and bite the top of it

If you remember this dude you get a veteran's discount

Dexter Wight was an old Fallout oc of mine that I got really attached to, so now he's his own lad! In terms of what story he's involved with now, well... it's involved, to say the least.

Local nuclear physicist with a prominent lisp goes through the horrors, figures out how to use radioactive magic (Nucleomancy) and escapes a cult to go live his best life with his daughter and Lavender marriage friend and lies low as a pathologist instead. That's a GROSSLY simplified version of what me and @harvest-honeymoon cooked up together

#Dexter my belexter 🥺💕💕💕 #so good to see you boy #friend art #the anomalous #Dexter wight

Why have I suddenly gotten a surge of Zionists on my dash

Zionists are the last people I wanna see right now

These people don’t fucking understanding that anti-Zionism is not antisemitism. They are not synonymous with each other. Actually, the concept of Zionism IS antisemitic.

We do not have the right to self identify, first of all. We are not supposed to have a Jewish land right now. Secondly, Israel is a theocracy, and any form of theocracy is bad. It isn’t just bad in Iran, it wasn’t just bad in Spain, theocracies are bad. Period. “But it’s so free!!!” no the fuck it is not and a “state” run on religious values is inherently not free for anyone who doesn’t abide those values + not to mention it is not free for the indigenous populations.

“You’re calling for a genocide of Jews again!!!” nobody is calling for that except maybe genuine antisemitic extremists. The vast majority are not. Had Israelis not taken over Palestinian land with assistance from the west and used that assistance to oppress Palestinians for 75 years, they probably would’ve loved to have you there. But instead, you are oppressors. Does that mean you have to die? No. But if you’re going to attack, they’re going to respond. And you cannot complain.

If you believe the values Israelis believe about Palestinians, like if it was ANY other group you’d be met with scorn and hatred. So why are Israelis allowed to treat Palestinians like dogs, take their homes away, murder them, destroy their gardens, their family lines, why are they allowed to?

I don’t think theocracies are good, but if you’re gonna have one, follow the actual fucking words. Don’t bastardise them. Judaism is peaceful, we are NOT animals. And in the same breath, you Israelis and Zionist Jews are NOT the moral high ground for all Jews. You are NOT the “way”. You are NOT all knowing, and I think a few (all) of you need to check yourself.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸🕊️🍉

hey. i (disabled trans femme person) need urgent help escaping abuse.

i come to you with some very bad news and a long story, i guess. it's a story of financial abuse and years and year of my life in vain.

snippets of this were things ive talked about before, but theyve been intensifying recently to a point that i can't ignore them anymore. they dont blend into the background anymore. figurateively, im being poisoned, and im feeling it.

look below the cut for further details of what's happening. i wish i could've been more concise, but the ongoing situation is convoluted and its hard to wrap my whole head around it sometimes.

ive had my patreon for around 7 years, now. since the beginning, i wanted it to become sizable and to earn me a living eventually; it never did.

ive also released several games, which, again, didnt earn me a living. ive done a lot of work on projects under nda, which didnt earn me a living either.

none of it came together.

as a result of this, i have spent that past while being strongly supported through donations from people like you on tumblr and discord (thank you ;;) and... from my parents.

the latter is the crux of this. their control over my finances lends them a very strong influence over what i am allowed to do and what im not allowed to do in my life.

as a result of this, they have essentially kept me from pursuing the jobs and the life ive wanted to pursue for the past 7 years. anything i was able to come up with wasn't good enough. game development is an "expensive hobby". "an outcrys" nomination was a "costly adventure that didn't retain value". my art is "sad and depressing, no one wants to see it". video games are "not real, you need a second foot to stand on".

so ive been toiling away, trying to please their whims of what im "supposed to be doing", using precious time i couldve used entering the industry i actually wanted to enter learning skills i didnt want for jobs i didnt want, applying and being denied. for a brief while, between 2020 and 2023, i was allowed to do my game development thing, finally, because of covid and such. that grace period is now over.

they have also been strongly controlling my bodily autonomy as it relates to choices im allowed to make without having to suffer emotional damage from them, which has been paranoia-inducing to say the least.

at this moment, i am at a crossroads.

either, i take on a job that pays whatever my parents think is enough for a living and is the "right kind of job" (with my lack of education outside of artistic fields: close to impossible); or i find a well-paying high-profile job in the video game industry (with my qualifications and the state of the industry: close to impossible); or i enter my country's disability pay system.

i have a disability diagnosis, so this would be within reach. it would also be a good deal more money than my parents are keeping me drowning with. to succeed with my application however, id need to:

close my patreon

stop developing games (not enough resources, mental or financial)

be at the whims of this country's political situation and how it relates to welfare, which is in sharp decline

im asking you all for help choosing none of the above.

i want to be free from their financial influence. i want to be able to instantly send them back their "alimony" and know that they can no longer direct my life according to any whim they may have. i want more time to be allowed to stand on my own two feet without being emotionally hurt and financially controlled - because it is nothing short of killing me.

i've started goal on ko-fi - 6000 $. i need a buffer like that in order to be able to have a bargaining chip in this arrangement, at least for half a year.

i need that money to be able to refuse the money my parents only use to have power over me and my life choices, to be able to consistently emotionally harm me and my prospects to become independent in the way i want to.

thank you for reading. even just talking about this makes me feel a little better. please help, and donate if you are able.

These remarkable and unconventional mannequins were sculpted by Pierre Imans--an early 20th century French mannequin manufacturer who utilized wax, real hair, glass eyes, and even makeup to make his mannequins as realistic as possible (some of the faces are still a bit stylized, however, making them off-putting to some people).

Imans is notable for creating the first mannequin of color (modeled after a combination of singer and activist Josephine Baker and a famous Erté painting titled "Queen of Sheba"), as well as creating a lesbian couple that would be displayed at an exhibit called "The Streets of Paris" in 1920.
