Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

I helped do a thing!!!!

As Pyra said: "[This is a] zine for our international fandom fundraiser. Our mission is to channel the fandom’s passion for Good Omens into a benefit for the Take Back The Night Foundation to fund real-world support for sexual abuse survivors.

This is a digital only zine featuring over 40 different artists and authors working with the theme of the Stars. We have art of angels and demons, husbands and wives. Stories of humans and scriveners, retirement and love. It is safe for work and there are no stories or art depicting any of the AO3 big 4 warnings. There are 246 pages of wonder and joy in a fandom that takes care of each other. It’s truly an amazing collection.

We are on our own side and we can do extraordinary things."

I'm so happy that I got to participate in another zine, and especially for something so incredibly important to me. It was a real honor working with so many wonderful people, and I hope you all love it!

And here...a lil sneak peak of what I made~

Gender is a performance and it’s time to play the music it’s time to light the lights it’s time to meet the muppets on the muppets show tonight

Fanfic is a free hobby.

It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.

Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.

You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.

You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.

Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?

Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?

I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.

Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.

Please don't ruin this for us.

Some of us need it.

Um, hullo!!

I'm currently taking up commissions to save up for a book passport. Everything is negotiable, and for the moment I'm running a little special where I'll make flat colored discord Avatars for $15 (the little nifty would be what they look like) ! I've got 4 spaces open for the time being, so please DM me if you're interested! Payment would be given halfway through the job.

The things I will draw:

Nsfw & SFW

OCs (including furries)

Rare pairs

Things I won't draw:

Abuse

Non-con

Gore

Vore

Mecha/machines

Questionable bodily fluids.

I reserve the right to not draw something I'm uncomfortable with.

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

thinking abt how fucked up steam engine boiler explosions can look. theyre just pipes under there

gives me the idea of a ghost/monster engine that looks normal, albeit a bit battered, only to swing their smokebox door open and a myriad of pipes come bursting out like fucked up tentacles
