I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

drawing of a teal skinned goblin with dark green hair standing somewhat facing away from us and twisting to face us. she has a mischievous expression. she's wearing bright orange chaps over black leggins, an off white tank top, and black fingerless gloves, with her feet wrapped in bandages. she has a tail with a tuft of fur on the end of it the same color as her hair

The very fact they actually used real animation cels for this short film in 2026 is absolutely insane and awesome. Probably the best music video I’ve seen in a LONG as time. Pure artistic eye candy.

I’ll be excited to model literally anything but I’d die to get to work on some dragons or anthros again! They’re so much fun for me to make - so meditative too! So if you have any cool OCs you’d want a bust of … I’m your fella 😎🧑

I think my mind's ear is better than my minds eye, by a lot. I can replay whole soundtracks I've listened to a lot in my head really accurately. but it's about as useful as my minds eye, because the second I sit down to try and act on anything I hear it vanishes.

I know this is like, β€œeww squick” it wouldn’t hurt me, but this basically bans the first episode of Game of Thrones, a significant amount of Greek mythology, and every open fanfiction website on the planet. And I wouldn’t trust an authoritarian govt with β€œnuance” about what is art and what is porn.
