queer character written by cishets: we're all the same, whether you're normal or gay :)
actual queer people: *envy scottpilgrim voice* short answer? being queer just makes you better than most people
the reckoning is now: sadly, I must open and advertise my commissions to pay for basic life expenses
prices start at $5 USD, and I can do other styles too, including pixel & sprite art! please share, I had $200 stolen from me and I'm struggling to rebuild it while satisfying basic needs

so anyway I fucking hate anime fans who let all the lovely discriminatory -isms fester in their media because "weh it's a meme" "weh they're not real people" "weh fiction does not and can never affect reality" or whatever
transphobia
oh boy do I sure *fucking* love it when I'm thinking of commissioning someone and then they say The Worst Weeb Word, then when they're calmly told that it's not nice to use that word to describe anything gender non-conforming, they pull the whole "weh but it's a MEME, this has nothing to do with calling real gnc people or crossdressers dishonest predators because I wasn't calling a REAL PERSON that" bullshit
autism ableism
Despite it being ever present, it never fails to surprise me how pervasive ableism towards autistic people is. And how often I've seen it used as an excuse to perform "justified harassment" of a person.
People need to chill and listen more and give people chances to explain themselves. I know we're all tired and paranoid, but we need to give each other space to not "know the rules" and such.
If you've never had the chance to watch Moomin before, the original animated series is now available on YouTube! π some countries are blocked, though. It feels so weird to hear this in English, who are they

Gardening and DIY are important not just because it gives people more independence and saves them money, but because it de-alienates them from their labor. There are few types of propaganda more potent than excitedly checking your peppers several times a day and thinking to yourself, "what if all work was this fulfilling"
EVERY PERSON IS ENTITLED TO A DIGNIFIED LIFE. this is what human rights means.
no strings attached, no asterisks, no exclusions or exceptions. everybody belongs, everybody gets what they need. civilization is not a paradox of triage, in which some get what they need and others must suffer because of it, we do not live any longer in a zero-sum world. scarcity is more often enforced than it is natural. to ask for a world without poverty is not asking the impossible, it is merely asking that we abandon a system of structuring our society that is based on greed and little else.
on the ion fury trans/homophobia bs
maybe I'm just being cynical but like, bigots don't just change overnight
on the ion fury trans/homophobia bs
the whole thing reads as outrage marketing to me. to the uninformed, that's the tactic of purposefully being outrageous, then rescinding it with a public apology so consumers feel like purchasing that product is positive reinforcement for the company. why give them the time of day and press coverage when they've made it clear that their views haven't changed and that the whole "0 tolerance policy" and donation to an lgbt rights organization is just a PR act

Iβm a front-end web developer, birdkeeper, rainforest bastard, and a former student of vertebrate paleontology (cretaceous theropod specialty) just trying to get along in this cruel world of furry-wigged titty sparkledogs.
