G!

Just to add to this: the notion of "peaking" is a veiled form of comparison/success culture and it is a POISON. What others think of your work is none of your business; what YOU think of your work is none of your business also! Just make the things that give you joy!

Jesus Christ, I sure hope I didn't peak at 30. 😅

I have a hypothesis that you can tell whether someone is from the coast or the interior based on whether it's giant SUVs or giant pickup trucks that are one's go-to, for this. XD

And by write I mean rewrite XD

I mean, as soon as my comic is done I'm gonna write *all* the smut for it. We all know this, right? XD

the problem is bigotry, but the tool they're using to spread it is *the concept of pornography*. as long as we accept the idea that "pornography" is

1. meaningfully distinct from other forms of art, and
2. inherently bad or shameful

it will continue to be a weapon conservatives can use against us!

you can and rightly should go into depth about how this is all a stealth attack on queer expression, about how it's a short leap to labeling gay and trans people "pornographic" and how they are not subtle about this being their express intent. But You Can't Get Around Defending Actual Pornography

you have to be loudly pro-pornography and you have to never shut up about it. you have to become the "they want to take away your freedom of expression vis-à-vis cocks and boobs" person to everyone you know. i'm sorry to say it but it's just how it is right now

Did somebody call for a ruling? 🎾 #borb #birds

I once met a botanist out in the wilds of Wyoming who expressed incredulity that someone would want to study birds when plants don't fly away while you're looking at them! 😂

I can tell you how I would do it, but there is probably an easier way? 😅

Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands by Felix

I mean, the "welfare queen" myth is almost certainly the original DNA for this, so it goes back a lot further, unfortunately.

I'm taking this as an absolute admission that it is not, and never has been, about fraud, and was always about punishing US citizens.

In the ruins of Gaza, Palestinian artist Mohamed El Shanabari transforms rubbles into a stage, using stones, metal, and everyday objects to create gravity-defying structures amid widespread destruction

old hats will tell you the way they got where they are.
these are not instructions they are to show you how varied everyone's path is.

what you NEED to watch out for, is when the old hat says that their way is the ONLY way

i think, more than anything, encouragement for young artists or beginner artists is more important than any sort of imagined age threshold or finish line

you'll get where you wanna be eventually, all you can do is try.

UPDATE: ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL REGISTER IT IS SUPPLIERS, NOT NEW PATIENT ENROLLEES.

This is still very bad, but less overtly bad.

LET. ME. AT. HIM.

LEMME AT HIM.

Timer on mine goes to 80 minutes!

Like, this is just a formal fallacy, right? "A can mean both B and C at times, therefore B always = C"?

Absolutely unhinged, lmao. I've been guilty of thinking this way about other things in the past, and it's not... Good. It's overextending a critique about the UNCONSCIOUS cultural connotations of word usage and drawing the conclusion that everyone read the same blog post about it you did.

I got a butthurt furry who was Big Mad that I rebooted my characters as humans for my new series years after the old one ended. XD they were also mad that I draw slow, for some reason? XD

And it has worked, somewhat? I love myself and I think I'm really cool and if I'm delulu well, that's everybody else's fault for giving me so little positive input to orient myself to, isn't it! 😂

I always worry people will think I have a big ego because I talk hype about myself sometimes? But half of that is me trying to convince myself because I was explicitly taught that self-esteem was sinful, growing up, so I'm overcompensating by being my own biggest fan. 😅

(not me realizing that's literally where I learned the word "penitent" as a kid lmao)

Only the penitent Kong shall pass

several shots of a small needle felted mouse. it is fawn brown/cream with light pink ears/nose/feet/tail. its eyes are round, faceted black beads. it has a cute smile and an "X" on its butt. its tail is held a single large curl

Mousie :3
