All the payment processor stuff is legit concerning, as is this current cultural shift that's trying to shovel any depiction of queerness into legislation about obscenity. I see where this is going
The thing about "this type of porn can be used to groom" is that any kind of adult material can be used in that way, and so can a lot of benign hobbies and interests that are kid friendly. The problem is the adults doing the grooming and a culture that very much makes it easy for adults to do this
Being uncomfortable is not the same as being harmed.
However, and I can't stress this enough, the most important thing trans people can do is organise. In this vid I talk abt harm reduction structures including DIY production that trans people could create and walk through the idea of trans assemblies towards liberation

My raku came out super cool!! I can't wait to share it, my housemate is going to help me take good photos tomorrow... my raven head incense burner came out especially awesome :>
It is literally the easiest thing in the world to get a medical discharge. I know of someone who got it for claiming erectile dysfunction. There are so many resources for how to leave. If you stay it is a choice and a genocidal one. And I have no sympathy
The Center on Conscience and War, doesn't appear to be on bluesky but just in case any US personnel are on here, there are ways out. Spread it around.
This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.
Anyway, all that to say my kiln load came out great, a little nervous but mostly super excited for my raku workshop this weekend!! 🎆
And like, the fact that I had to type this in short chunks of characters instead of one post is fucking insane. There's no good reason for a platform to use this format at this point, but there are lots of bad (see: profitable) reasons for it!
This shit applies to everything though, as the past 6 years of studying socialism has really taught me SOOO much more about the world and improved my understanding of it specifically because of coming to understand that connective tissue rather than a dehydrated, disconnected grasp of everything.
Anyway... I'm just ranting because this shit is how I learned to draw and paint, and now that I'm getting more into sculpting I can tell that I need to understand the way that moisture and heat and other things function, but those explanations are a lot harder to find!
base fundamentals. Idk, everything we know and interact w is part of the same world, and knowing how those things interact is really where true understanding lies. The connective tissue between these nodes is ultimately where the crucial info is, not an independent study of the nodes themselves.
almost none of it teaches foundations and fundamentals. Things are thought of and advertised as disparate "projects" which can make things accessible but wow it's so hard to find in depth education on stuff anymore!
Maybe I'm biased because learning anything is hard for me unless I understand the-
Yknow I think the format of the internet and fracturing of information into bite sized pieces has negative effects not just on our comprehension of each other and the world but also on understanding the fundamentals of various practices, crafts, skills, etc.
There's tons of edu material, but...

Winter slowly fading & in many folklores the wolf was animal of this transitionary time between "life & death"
Wolves mate in the deep of winter now the she-wolf is symbolically carrying the young sun into the new year.

Loaded the kiln today, fingers crossed! I haven't lost any pieces yet but I sure do like a lot of my work in this batch.

Thanks, this was break up vent art actually lol. Love doing claws though, I need an excuse to do them more!
QPR with your skull art!
I had mostly forgotten about this one until recently, actually.
Aaaa thank you! It's going to be raku fired this weekend, so I'm very excited to see what the final result looks like :>
This is an incense burner for the little briquette style incense, btw. If it works well the smoke should come up through the beak!
Just put together a WIP post with over a dozen ceramic pieces in it over on my Patreon! Steller's Jay & Raven tiers get sketchbook and process work posts, consider checking it out if you want to see as much behind the scenes work as I can manage to share: www.patreon.com/posts/many-c...
no one in the US reads and the anxiety/rage/memes around "reading theory" is representative not of an activist class that reads too much of it, but one very sensitive about not reading much at all

I've worked on that size a few times before and it can be a lot, but I do love the presence of such a big piece! In the past I've usually just ordered it from Blick and used the free shipping.
