I think we should make transition so easy to access and so socially accepted that cis people actually do start transitioning for absurd reasons

They know they are ridiculous people and the thing they hate most is being laughed at. They want everyone terrified and intimidated by how MANLY and LETHAL they are, not laughing because they got got by a grating frog.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

The mainstream media shift from just using someoneโ€™s gender pronouns like normal to always clarifying that โ€œthis person is transโ€ and that this is their โ€œpreferredโ€ pronoun is weak ass shit. Go take a beta blocker you nervous rats.

thereโ€™s no โ€œautism problemโ€ just like thereโ€™s no โ€œtrans debate.โ€ both of those things are eugenics.

I had an idea while i was questing through #heavensward in #ffxiv where "lifestream" sounds like "livestream". One thing led to another and I made a #gpose about it. Not sorry.

Charlie Kirk wanted gay people dead. He also wanted public executions televised.

This isn't hyperbole, if he got his way he'd round us up into concentration camps and televise our murders.

If you're going to say anything about him, not being blunt about this reality means you've failed as an ally.

TEXT: IN THE MORNING, or as soon as sun hits a window, CLOSE IT AND BLOCK IT. Trap ALL of the cool over-night air in your home!

Blinds aren't enough! Use fabric too!

Illustration: Ripley pulling drapes shut over mini-blinds. 

2025 update: If the window is south or west facing, I recommend additional material between the glass and blinds as well. Sheets of styrofoam, cardboard with a foil lining (facing out), bubble wrap, etc etc. Do your best to keep the space between your curtains and glass from becoming a hot plate. 

If you are able, outdoor blinds work WORLDS better than indoor blinds. Awnings, too!

Blow cool air INTO warm rooms. 
Only blow warm air out if the room has two doors and you can also blow cool in*. 

Illustration of Ripley at their (old) standing desk setup. A note reads "Hot office" while a box fan blows into the space with "Cool hallway" noted above it. 

*This is just the nature of thermodynamics. If a room is warm, and all of the objects within the room are the same temperature, removing that air will do nothing to cool the space down. Colder air must be moved in to reduce the ambient temperature and, eventually, the surface temp of everything in there.

It's Summer in the Northern Hemisphere again, and PDX will be hitting 100F sometime this week.

She has a big angel wing coming off the left side of her back, and a devil wing coming off the right. Her right eye is teal and has an 'X' pattern on the pupil, whereas her right eye is indigo and has a circle pattern on the pupil. She wears a pink neckerchief, and a tight sleeveless top that's blue on the top half and dark purple on the bottom. She also has disconnected sleeves, so her shoulders are still visible.

She says "HEY!! It's ME, you're OLD OC. Haven't drawn ME in a while, HAVE YA'?"

She says "No no, IT'S OKAY! Let's be real, my design is pretty amateurish HAHA"

03: She turns a bit to the side, and adopts a more sympathetic expression, but keeps looking you in the eyes.

She says "But I want you to know that I've been there all this time. I've watched you grow. And you've grown SO much."

04: Closeup of her face as her confident expression returns. She tilts her head and gives you a wink.
