DEAR ARTISTS, PLEASE READ THIS POST I STUMBLED ACROSS

IF YOU ARE NOT DOING THIS ALREADY, YOU SHOULD TRY IT

I even tested it out myself, it works great

There's this one Ivan Coyote quote about TDOR that goes around every year that I can't stop thinking about. I can't find it now but it talks about how queer orgs and college GSAs, made up almost entirely of white transmascs, will read off names of those who were killed or driven to suicide in the last year and not stop to think about why nearly everyone on that list is transfem and/or a POC and why those reading the names off are not. And it goes on to talk about how being transfem means you're pretty much always excluded from or forced out of those organizations and communities.

One line in particular always grabs me that goes something like "being transfem means you don't get invited to events and dinners, and certainly not to all the best parties." And I always think about that line because of how much it just pisses me off. They're right, we don't get invited. But it just makes me think, how many times has Ivan themself, or TME people I knew from old queer orgs, or even my friends on and offline now have been in a room and realized that if I was there with then that I would be treated differently.

That I wouldn't be talked to or would be talked down to, whispered about or fetishized. How many times they've realized they would be treated differently if they had invited me too. And how many times they had this realization and then just kept partying anyway or kept going back to events with those same people to have fun and make friends. I've seen it happen more times than I can count, how many have I not seen because I just never got invited.

It makes me think of how transfems are nearly always dependent on our TME siblings to advocate for us and change these attitudes. How transfems don't really have a way to fight for our recognition as women. How my ex can yell and flex and fight his way into gaining the respect of his coworkers as a man but his transfem coworker is reliant on the kindness of him and other allies just to have her name and pronouns respected. Because if we do fight for ourselves, if we get sick of it and push back, then that's just used as proof that we were men the whole time.

I'm sick of hearing TME people talk to rooms full of other TME people about transmisogyny but refusing to put any skin in the game themselves. I'm sick of people saying they advocate for us but refusing to invite us out. I'm sick of people saying they support us but still define parties where transfems aren't safe as "the best parties" because they're the ones still having fun.

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

We have officially reached a viewership level that has never been obtained by another museum before! All of us at the Sacramento History Museum are in disbelief.

We would have never thought that our institution, a small nonprofit museum in Sacramento, California, could reach this many views, but we are incredibly thankful for all of those who take the time to watch our videos and for your support.

In this video, Howard letterpress printed a headline announcing “Sacramento History Museum Reaches One Billion Video Views On YouTube” while using our Washington hand press, which was manufactured in 1852!

Betty owns at least two Jughead dolls. It is clear by the narrative that this is not one Jughead for which she changed the shirt. And if you can settle that as just an odd gift from an odd friend -- no, we see with this stranger with a Jughead sweater that this is a universe where Jughead's antics are known far and wide, and merchandised.

The original gets the nightgown color-- seen as pink in the initial page -- wrong in this panel. The reprint gets her muddy facial cream portrayed as not muddy.

The extended bottom tier of panels -- filling in the indicia -- makes Veronica's gown looser past the bosom area than seen in the initial splash (pair of) panel.

Someday could you give us tips to draw chubby bodies?

i once put together some tips on how I draw fat for a friend so i suppose i can share those right now :) just keep in mind that these might not help everyone and that i mostly don't know what i'm talking about. it's just how i personally draw idk

and i cannot reccomend the book morpho: fat and skin folds by Michael Lauricella enough. it's an amazing resource for learning and it really changed the way i understand fat as an artist

edit: excuse all the typos on the images fml
