GIVE IT UP FOR DAY 2 (of a TMJ migraine that feels like a hot knife on the side of my face)
Aaaaaa

As the autumn creeps in. Know. I'm a staunch trunk or treat hater.
(Exceptions for like. 'Houses are half a mile away from one another and this is the only way to realistically trick or treat in our rural town' type situations)

Whenever a queer event runs late there's the joke about "running on gay time"
Not me
I run on autistic lesbian time
And I will leave you behind (joke)

Do not! Talk to me about ~how helpful and necessary AI is~ when data centers are stealing freshwater from (largely) disadvantaged communities, poisoning the air, and fucking with the health of an already struggling planet (and everything one and everything that calls it home).

Another #ArtFight attack from this past weekend!
Character is Leech by User: FiaTheAngsty

My third attack this year on #ArtFight!
Character is Lotus Nightshade-Moongarden by User: Unicorn-Mage (go follow them here @digitalmediamage.bsky.social !)

Fuck America and all its white supremacist, colonialist, capitalist legacy that bleeds into our culture and policies every single goddamn day.

Digital illustration. A fluffy creature with a white mask-like face, antlers, and black limbs stands on a stump on the edge of a forest. There is a decorative border.

Attack Number 2! This creature charmed me at first glance, and belongs to User: Zanderzz on #ArtFight !

White haired character on black background wearing gothic plate armor and a long purple cloak. They are holding a sword. Golden filigree style border.

First attack of 2025 (aka overdue vengeance from last year)!

The fabulous Modelo (he/she/they) belongs to tikkiroom on #ArtFight!

Gothic plate armor, my beloved.

ArtFight Team Crystal roster for User:Sockfaerie. User does both Friendly Fire and Revenge. User had mostly human or monstrous characters.

Oh hey #ArtFight starts today!
I am. Ready.

It's only a liiittle bit funny that I spent the first two days of autism awareness and acceptance month unable to do much besides lay around in complete silence and relative isolation

I don't usually let my work leak into social media, but today's #tdov is special for me! I'll be interviewing Rachel Crandall Crocker, the woman behind the holiday, at the AADL at the Downtown Library! If you're in town, definitely consider coming on out! We'll also be livestreaming @ aadl.tv!

A lovely thread of bat photos. DIVERSITY is amazing. 🦇

Various recycled containers full of soil with small green sprouts popping out

might get crazy later and make some chamomile tea

Beautiful photo by Michael Durham Photography. A Mexican Free-tailed Bat rests on a yellow rock surface. A bright eye looks towards the camera. This bat shows off its very long and free mousy-looking tail.

You've heard of "Free Bird" but have you heard of "Free-tailed"??! Honestly, bats are NOT mice! But these little guys will make you look twice! Tadarida brasiliensis is commonly known as the Mexican or Brazilian Free-tailed Bat. Built for speed - this is the world's fastest terrestrial mammal. 🦇

Yeah, uh. If the fucking ASMR DEPORTATION VIDEO and ~King President~ bullshit posted on official White House channels ain't enough to bust through whatever remains of your normalcy bias
I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this:
It will not all "work out"
Do something. Anything.

midwestern subzero wind chill, my beloathed

Watching the press secretary crash out over folks refusing to call the Gulf of Mexico the ~Gulf of America~ (rightfully so) is, despite the horrors, actually funny

Cute brown tabby cat in a cardboard box looking up at the camera.

A beaste to ease your woes

Hey boss. Sorry I wasn't at my desk for a hot minute,
it's just that more HUMAN BEINGS are being sent to GUANTANAMO BAY and the little I can do about it ain't enough
So I needed to seethe in a bathroom stall
Yeah, yeah, I'll still meet the deliverable since I can't afford to be fired either.

Verna 'Fall of the House of Usher' my beloved.

Something to remind you
It's a world worth saving

Neo-Nazis appeared in Lincoln Heights (metro Cincinnati) Ohio and got ran out of dodge… but not before locals stole and burned their swastika flag in the street.

Two DIY earrings made with a French hook style attachment, gold hoop, and copper wire holding one wisdom tooth each in a cage.

It took me two years
But homemade wisdom tooth earrings

"Eradicating ~Anti-Christian Bias~"
How about taste my big fat lesbian boot?
"But, but, Easter 2024 was ~declared~ Transgender Day of Visibility, weh weh"
Yeah, and? Cry about it.
You're not oppressed because gay and trans people exist

ya hate to see academics and scientific publications be censored into state approved narratives
