Hi! I’m a trans NB artist messing around with different mediums, fleshing out the things me and my partner find in our world-building sandbox. I use original fiction to process the queer+autistic experience, and dream up post-capitalist anti-patriarchal communities and lifestyles.

I.e. here be drawings of WLW and femme enbies, occasional musical attempts and nods to anarchism. Also random creatures and satanic undertones.

I am quite happy with the heroforge.com online miniature generator. The next d&d group will be printed and painted :abunhdhappy:

marveling about the pragmatism of German language:
Bohr-Maschine, Wasch-Maschine, Näh-Maschine, Spül-Maschine - it's just what you do and put 'machine' at the end... or:
Werk-Zeug, Flick-Zeug, Schuhputz-Zeug, Feuer-Zeug, Spiel-Zeug, Flug-Zeug - are just various 'things'.
And in English you have like 'drill', 'toy', 'plane' instead, which is so much more compact.
The language is a mess, I guess...

@troubleMoney your hog cafe makes me so happy; thank you for sharing this :abunhdhappy:

How to write a trans- and nonbinary-inclusive gender demographic question on a survey in one picture (taken from a dissertation by M.L. Haupert, see following):

Part of why we say "solidarity not charity" is because the way charity is typically presented gives moral superiority to the givers - and often, moral inferiority to the receivers (or sometimes "takers," if they decide to be particularly transparent about it)

Truisms like "it is better to give than to receive" implicitly contain "it is wrong to receive help." It's wrong to ask for the support you need, to want it, even to accept it when offered. Panhandling, for instance, is often portrayed not just as shameful, but immoral - even greedy

Solidarity, and especially mutual aid, are meant to reject that dichotomy. Everyone at Food Not Bombs eats together, volunteers and otherwise, and talks to each other. Our Free Store puts "it's free because it's yours" all over its reading material - it's not a gift, not a blessing, not charity. And that makes *such* a big difference

White supremacy meta, discussion of fascist tactics 

This mirrors the psychology of how I got sucked into the alt-right pipeline years ago. My general frustration with society was exploited to gaslight me, and those fascist scum are targeting teens, and people with autism for recruitment : nytimes.com/2019/10/12/opinion

the thing I have said to argumentative reply guys that shuts them up fastest is "I don't believe that you believe that."

if they're particularly stubborn, you can bring out the big guns, "I'm not naive enough to believe that you're naive enough to believe that."
