When @empsmd-blog reblogged her CDAN podcast recap about Tay, one line caught my eye: “2009 Taylor taped a PSA for LGBTQ.”
WAIT, WHAT?!?!? [record scratch]
So I found the video. The story is heartbreaking: a 15-year-old trans person of color, Latisha King, was murdered by a white male classmate. (More info here.)
In response, LOGO and GLSEN created a PSA with celebs including Taylor, Janet Jackson, and Portia de Rossi to prevent LGBTQ hate crimes, discrimination, and bullying.
Taylor’s at 0:22: https://youtu.be/O3rdkhIKmp4
It’s especially powerful knowing, in light of folklore, that she was likely a closeted young teen then. <3 Much love, Taylor!!!
A mysterious encounter between a man who claims to be from the future and the man that he claims is his former self. A surreal psychological thriller about loss and regret.
Terry Gilliam: "...very well done. I was surprised when it ended, I thought we were off on a much longer journey. Seeing that room filled with all the variations made me want to spend a lot of time with the problems that it would raise."

here are most of Fabian’s kids as teens !! Fabian is the twin brother to Sebastian, and he was kind of used as a guinea pig in my game because he’s one of the first sims I made. As a result, he has 10 kids :////. Names and mothers are listed below the cut !! His final two kids, Gage and Brantley, have not yet aged up.
From left to right, top to bottom. they’re also in age order (cool)
Alan ! son to Nina Caliente
Lacie ! daughter to Dina Caliente
Roman ! son to Nina Caliente
Latisha ! daughter to Katrina Caliente (also i can almost guarantee latisha is getting a name change in the future :// She might go by her middle name)

The Joy of Spring: Capturing the Excitement of a Young Boy Waiting to Go Outside
As I sit at my desk, staring outside at the beautiful spring weather, I can’t help but envy the young boy in my digital art drawing. He’s outside, ready to explore and enjoy the warmth of the sun, while I’m stuck inside working. It’s a struggle that I’m sure many of us can relate to.
But as an artist, I find that I…
As you can see, I drew Garnet from the animated TV show ‘Steven Universe’.
This drawing was created through Procreate, and is when I started adding more textures to my base line and color art. I’m excited to gain more skills as an artist and reinvent myself in ways I never imagined.
Hope you enjoy the design!
