An outline of a naked woman is embroidered on linen in the same bone white colour as the linen. She stands legs together, her right hand covering her groin, her left hand, palm up, extended slightly to her side. She looks to the right. Her entire body except for her belly is covered in intricate markings representing different neurological sensations. Her face is a mask of green lines, feathery grey lines cover her shoulders and chest. There is a thick band of intricate burgundy stitching around her waist. Her forearms and hands are covered in thick blue undulant lines. Her right leg has bands of burgundy along the muscles, with small dots around them. Her inner left leg has a thick line of blue running up it, with thin branches spreading towards her outer leg.

For this #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing a symptomatology #embroidery, body map (2016), in which I stitched my #MECFS symptoms freehand over a few months. ME/CFS affects mostly women, and the symptoms are often ignored or not taken seriously because of medical misogyny.

it's weird - i feel like I've occasionally watched that as some people move into philosophies of queer liberation, they've dropped feminism as a part of their social and political philosophy. dont let it happen to you!! never forget that feminism supports all liberation! women are half of all people

A simple illustration looking down a corridor at a wall of brightly colored wall panels running floor to ceiling, alternating in yellow, orange, a sort-of pistachio green, and dark wood grain. In the right third, a figure carrying a book enters a door into a room beyond the paneled wall. From the ad copy: “Colorful, carefree interior walls are practically a ‘must’ in the design of modern educational buildings. In assembly rooms and corridors! In classrooms and labs! In dormitories, dining rooms and recreation quarters there is a need to brighten up interior wall surfaces. And they must require little maintenance. Porcelain enamel wall panels provide many advantages for such applications. They are colorful, durable, withstand hard abuse, easily wipe clean with a damp cloth. They are quickly installed, require no special tools or skills. Finally, they are relatively low in cost, permitting you to stretch construction dollars. The lifetime porcelain enamel is fused to lightweight steel. Panels come to you ready for installation. Aluminum molding can be porcelain enameled to match if desired. You get a complete package. And you can choose from literally hundreds of colors.”

its soapbox weed.

there's a constant background radiation of ableism on the internet these days that makes it very not fun to use. never know when i'm gonna stumble across someone casually being incredibly cruel about autistic people, either implicitly or explicitly

LAUGHING. LITERALLY. dudes going "okay, so, we're friends, so when i call you up to the pyre youre chill with being the sacrifice, right? for the cause? youll be expendable to the cause?" and getting mad+confused when people go "man what the fuck?"

"yes little unwashed grub of the masses, i know what you THINK you want! but let me tell you, from the more educated side of life...."

the amount of times the people trying to wokescold you like this will be in a position of luxury or power you cant even conceive of is like... ohhh now i understand what trotsky meant about no class collaboration. no one talks like that unless they see themselves as your Steward, ykwim

people forget this one a lot -- if you want people to have anything good to say about you, not being a collossal dickhead with your limited time on earth really helps. of course in matters of art, talent fucking helps

there are so many actors who just Arent That Good and whose success can be summed up as "useful archetype for director to have on retainer". i love a lot of movies katharine hepburn is in, but im not delusional enough to think she could act

he spent the rest of his life trying to make it an autobiography in slow motion. theres only one thing left to do james. dont be afraid to let your body die

james woods would literally never provide use or merit to other peoples art again after videodrome. i literally cant give a shit what else hes been in. it is insane how many of his roles you could swap out for someone else when he isnt being mind controlled and killing himself on screen

Wigglypaint by Internet Janitor A juicy, jiggly drawing program

if you've never tried it it's free and really fun 😋 , he does love to see what folks make regardless. the link here is the only real site!

nice retrospective from my friend who made WigglyPaint - a good read for anyone who's wanting to have more intention behind their art software selection, and what it means to support folks who care about making their tools as open as possible, and how that gets abused
