Three drawings of lemurs on black paper. At the top a Fork-marked lemur drawn with white gel pen and pastel pencils; in the middle an Aye-Aye - I used yellow stickers for his eyes and metallic pencils for the line work; lastly an Indri lemur - his luminous green eyes are achieved with tempera stick - everything else pastel pencil.

I've been working through the alphabet each week - two letters at a time. This one - M & N - Madagascar and Night. The series has all been about brainstorming A -> Z to produce drawing ideas. It works! #drawing #artclass #lemur #sciart #arttutor

Reason 1278 hanging out with other trans people is best, because we already fuckin' know and can talk about anything other than the literally painfully obvious.

Mammals are great but I need something with a higher base slime level.

I especially hate it when it's not even news, it's some video of some hateful loser dredged up with no context, relevant to nothing, posting like "This is what we're fighting!"

You don't say.

Women: We live in a constant state of vigilance because men pose a constant threat to us, here are literally millions of corroborating stories.

Men: What a scary time for men this is.

Every time I have a new book coming out I'm convinced that this is the one that'll demonstrate I don't know what I'm doing and I know little.

And yet the response keeps telling me otherwise. Maybe one day I'll internalize it.

Silly me I thought I could be alive for ten minutes without having the hate and horror shoved directly in my face as if we haven't been living in it for years on fuckin' end.

A lot of jerks on here don't understand that reposting fascist talking points like "Look how bad they are!" is just broadcasting the hate and bullshit for those fascists.

Goo morning, monsters.

It's just a garbage truck. The mechanical groaning and crushing coming from the next block over, merely the sound of just another weekday. Yelps and cries are smothered by the motions of claw and compactor as collection rolls from house to house.

Here it comes now.
