Honey Gourami colour studies

Wanted to draw a little tribute of sorts to the humble sparkling gourami...had them in my tank a while back and they're such charming little fish.

Also up on my INPRNT!

Text: decoupling pregnancy from femininity means accurate and more inclusive language and treatment, but it also allows cis women to refuse motherhood without refusing womanhood, which is great for feminism and terrifying for misogyny.

–THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS. As a sterile cis woman who doesn’t want to have children anyway I feel this is every ounce of my being. “Define woman” types tend to do so in a way that excludes me too, so I got to stand with my trans sisters.

With the escalation of harassment from our neighbor, and confirmation that he has a pattern of increasing harassment to the point of violence, we’ve made the decision that we need to pack up and leave ASAP.

We’re waiting for everything to be confirmed, but we have a promising opportunity for a spot to move ourselves and our animals. We want to be prepared to pack up the essentials and get our animals to the new property ASAP, so we’re asking for help in moving to a safer situation. We need a storage unit for our things, Uhaul rental(s), a deposit and transitional rent, and can’t afford to take time off to get everything ready without support.

I feel a chronic need to downplay things, but I’m in a state of constant anxiety that has made it difficult to eat, clean, and even do things I would normally enjoy. The neighbor has been intentionally provoking and creeping on us. He knows our schedule and watches where we go and what we do. We really need help. We really appreciate the support and love everyone’s given us already.

If you’d prefer to send funds directly to avoid GFM fees, we have Venmo @/dirtpossum and PayPal @/alexander.ed.ren@gmail.com

Thank you so much. With love, Ren and Dimitri.

in case anyone hasn’t heard: BarkBox has apparently chosen to cease all advertising for their pride kits, stating that they want to avoid “making a political statement”, and that it would go against “ensuring our marketing remains inclusive and welcoming to everyone in our community”. they also compared it to promoting a MAGA-themed box 😬 so yeah, great time to cancel your BarkBox subscription if you have one

It's so fucking funny how many people who owned Furbies as children ended up being traumatized by them in some way
