Hi!

Your comment actually made me feel a lot better than Fuzzy’s did.
Being told by others to overlook the hard stuff and just believe in yourself only made me feel like I’m being childish if I struggle and get upset about it. Knowing that others feel the way I do makes me feel like I’m not alone :,)

CLARIFICATION :

The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.

They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY

So spread this around

They can be texted. They can be called.

Maybe draw some thick eyebrows on a sticky note and stick it to his face?

Masterful gambit indeed XD

And remember that right now everyone is in a reaction phase. Everything will seem bleak and catastrophic and we're all upset and scared.

Take time away from social media to ground yourself. Go punch a pillow or hug someone or make a grilled cheese.

Just take care of yourself. ❤

Affirmations for every artist here!!!

Trust the process, but don’t be afraid to start over if need be!

I had a t-shirt from a local store once that had an equation on it. Something like milk+eggs+butter=cake.

With my rack, the addition signs ended up being situated right about where my nips would be lol

“Enjoying something” - Meg holds something and enjoys it with a smile. “Enjoying something made by your friend” - 3 Megs appear, all screaming AHHHHHHHH and excited/pointing to something (made by a friend).

THIS! I'm tired of this garbage, but we cannot afford to sleep on this!s. Call your rep and tell 'em this bill is horse-pucky and we don't like it. Do not let them tear away 13 million people's health care coverage. We're already struggling. No one should want this!

JFC, there’s half-assed and then there’s…this!

I’d call it 0.5 percent-assed

The best thing you can have as a creative when shit hits the fan is people who check in and genuinely care, and you will never have that if you don't genuinely care about others.

So much toxicity in creative fields just goes back to people who couldn't play nice with others going off the rails.

yes

i'm just playing barbies in my room.... #OCsky

Be annoying and be free!!!

Owl! at the Library @SketchesbyBoze stop trying to please people who already don't like you and embrace the joy of being the most annoying person they've ever met

This is fairly good advice.

Call your representatives TODAY! Do not sleep on this! This is catastrophically anti free speech. DO NOT allow them take your rights!

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.

Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Seeing if anyone at work remembered today is my birthday

So far I’ve only gotten an automated email from the company

It kinda looks like a face if you squint at it O_O

I want to make beautiful things
Even if no one cares

(repost)

It costs nothing to make one of your trans homies feel affirmed and to remind them they are God's blessed and beloved children. 🏳️‍⚧️

Please. If you feel like you can't do it anymore. If it's all too much. Please call for help or reach out to a supportive resource. Please don't make the world grieve you and don't rob yourself of the future you could have. You are loved. There are people who do or will love you. Please don't go.

a little artist looking doubtful at the sky, as an angelic voice speaks to them. "Use a lot of refs and draw what you enjoy," it says, sparkling with radiance.
