Also, I have a wicked sense of humour, despite being German. What better way to intrigue readers?

Human artists, use only once piece to convince people to follow you!

That so much and in so many areas. My niece showed me something she got for her birthday with a cute animal on it and the first thing I did is check for the signs. It pisses me off, I just wanna see and read things without questioning reality!

I don't really know you apart from following you for a while but when you shared that first screenshot I was honestly really hyped! Cheering you on through the screen πŸ˜†πŸ₯³

Protest, go on strike, share your experiences, support each other or just take care of yourself so you have strength to carry on. ❀️

I love the character 😍 always feels like "feminist fight day" is a bit better at conveying the message that we don't want flowers, we want equality πŸ’ͺ

Artists sculpted masks for disfigured soldiers. This prosthesis was created by the American sculptor Anna Coleman Ladd. During the war, she created masks of the soldiers’ faces from clay or plasticine in order to create a prosthetic piece made of thin galvanized copper. /3

If your kid is interested in drawing the best thing you can do is give them lots of paper and drawing tools, different kinds, don't be precious about it, nothing fancy or expensive (that comes later), now is the time to experiment and not be worried about wasting pages in a fancy Sketchbook.

Meme showing 2 pictures of the rapper Drake on the left. Top Panel: Drake gestures disapprovingly, perfect for expressing rejection or dislike of a less preferred option. The text says "women's day"

Bottom Panel: Drake points approvingly with a smile, ideal for showing appreciation or preference for a better alternative. The text says "Feminist Fight Day".

Reminder to all of you posting about women's day. This day is about fighting the patriarchy which has an impact on every gender, including cis men. This is why we call it Feminist Fight Day. DESTROY THE PATRIARCHY!

Against the patriarchy, its violence and hate, its women hate and femicides, its bigotry and queerphobia, its oppression and exploitation, its imperialism and warmongering

Happy Feminist Fight Day

Two rows of linoprints pegged to string. The back row is of two elderly ladies in green and purple with placards that read 'me neither' 'I can't believe we still have to protest this shit'. The front row is of a younger woman dressed in Suffragette style clothes in purple holding a placard that says 'Same Shit Different Century'.

β€œBe kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. β€œAt a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

It was both watery and too strong at the same time? With the cheapest, least shaken oat milk imaginable.

I slept really badly and was really looking forward to some nice coffee and it was the worst coffee in the history of coffees (at least in that moment) and now I'm angry πŸ₯²
