Brilliant- thank you for the meal 🙏

I know there's something in @blacktabbygames.com 's Slay The Princess as a way to teach Theory of Mind, Choice/Consequence, and DBT Style Moral Neutrality/Radical Acceptance as therapeutic concepts but I need someone with more time on their hands than me to write that essay

If your allyship is contingent on your ability to perform as an ally comfortably you aren't actually an ally- just a conflict averse fence rider

Sometimes I doubt my autistic identity- and other times I low key crash out because my Safe Pants™️ from a specific brand/vendor are no longer made the same and ergo don't fit me right like they did before despite my ordering the same exact size and I want to peel off my skin

Love that the relationships I'm developing with clients are the sort of relationships where I'm forwarded a video clip of the local bees 🐝🐝🐝

What I wouldn't give to be this absolutely c o z y

Update YA BOY PASSED- LET'S GOOOOOOOO

Ya boy is taking their NCE on Tuesday and more than perfection/performance anxiety I'm anxious about just travelling downtown so close to rush hour and subsequently being trapped in a testing room for 4 goddamn hours.

Just y'know...CLOWNIN' AROUND! *honk honk*

Mock-up/Template for a Glass Painting commission celebrating bodily autonomy-- but make it ~silly~

THIS is a man who's plot for world domination is "all going according to plan"

This is a man untroubled by a singular thought.

We claimed back a little of that through community with The Paper Machete this weekend. All I can say is this- fund the arts, and hold each other close right now. Oh- and if you're in Uptown Chicago on a Saturday afternoon, check out The Paper Machete (the best live magazine)

As a queer/trans person and a mental health professional...I am so tired ya'll.

I just want a reason to laugh again and to see my partner smile rather than continuously get lost in the mire of existential dread. 1/2

Gotta say though, love as an asexual artist that my first original upload here is essentially hornyposting on main

I heard you like magic
I got a wand and a rabbit 🐰🌟

Shoutout @saturdaymarcin.bsky.social - everyone tell him he's pretty

Sometimes you gotta draw your partner as a magical femboy s!ut to stay in this crazy game called life #nsfw #ahegao #femboy

Trans lives matter.

Today, tomorrow, now, always, forever.

Fuck anyone who suggests otherwise.

Trans rights are human rights.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Ps- Jane Schoenbrun's previous film, We're All Going to the World's Fair is also a great existential horror flick

Fun fact- @saturdaymarcin.bsky.social and I saw it in theaters together the DAY BEFORE I WENT IN FOR TOP SURGERY

there's still time.

Hey there thudes, dudes, ladies, and theydies!

My name is Nik, and I'm a nonbinary/transmasc illustrator and art therapist in #Chicago!

Hoping to post some of my work here as opposed to instagram; connect with the #illustration , #art , and #mentalhealth community; and share silly little memes
