the best tiktok ever made

UN! MUTE!

I redid this older comic I made for my storytelling class based on this post. Have some cute wlw love in your day.

It’s hard, if I had more free time I could make it so pretty, this is what I could throw together for the assignment.

Help support a queer artist: Ko fi, Redbubble, Teepublic

He’s waving at all of the little gay people that see this

we need to fully bring back disco. no pastiche: no discowave or ironic disco. no being ironic about the clothes. just wear what you would’ve worn in the 70s. no white washing the historical black and lgbt aspects. pure expression of dance and music and love and loss and sexuality. dead serious about all of this and frowning as i write it at the prospect that this won’t be what happens when the covid curve is flat. we need disco back again with zero irony or pretense. NOW.

ok but the ass beating before

Hey so y'all have heard about the dude who asked a landlord for a reference right??? Cause this shits actually insane and it makes me cackle

So this mf Thom Cashman is an Australian comedian who's currently in the process of looking for a new apartment with his friend and he gets approved for a place and decides he's gonna keep looking. But, being a funny man with funny thoughts in his brain, he goes "you know why is it that when I apply to rent somewhere, the landlord asks me for references to prove I'm a good guy, but I never do the same?" So he does! He asks the landlord for references to prove they're a competent person who will like, fix shit when needed and not be a total dick and then suddenly the next day is approval is revoked!

And he admits that it probably isn't the best idea to do that if you want to get an apartment because the power dynamic is such a way where landlords are power hungry bastards who never want to have to prove themselves because they're not poors like us. But it gets even fucking weirder, cause this shit made national news in Australia.

For my good buddies who don't wanna watch a 2 and a half minute long TikTok, basically what happened is that he now is DESPERATELY in need of a place and he's getting rejected even when he doesn't ask for the reference thing out of, idfk, landlord schkeeviness solidarity??? Isn't that FUCKED??? Like landlords are so scared of the idea of people asking them to prove they don't suck that they're gonna drive this man to homelessness

Anyway here's a source to prove this is not one of those things I made up

Yet another reminder that Landlords don't actually provide housing, they just hoard it to drive up the cost. Questioning anything that might reduce the value results in the tenant being thrown back on their ass.

I see a lot of people who tell young people–especially young people who are heading into college–that they should “do what they love.” And they’re right. You should do what you love.

But there’s a world of difference between doing what you love for you, and doing what you love for a paycheck. 

I went to undergrad for graphic design and 3-D design–art and more art, I usually say–and I loved it. You know what I didn’t love? Trying to collect my fees from clients. Trying to meet unrealistic, over-simplified or over-specific briefs from people who didn’t know what they were talking about. Coming home, having worked creatively all day, with no creative juice left for the things I wanted to do.

You know what I would tell you instead? Do something that you can be interested in, with people you like.

You don’t have to love it. Loving your work can be a lot, and it often means you have to live in your job 24/7. Some people can do that. Not everyone can, or should.  But if you can find work that’s interesting enough that it doesn’t feel tedious, and people you can enjoy spending your 9-5 with, and you can make money, that’s great! It means you can do the things you love for you.

I’m in law school now. It’s interesting work, and difficult, and I like doing it. I like how complicated it gets, and I like the stories it tells. But I don’t come home and read law journals for fun. I come home, and I sculpt, and I draw, and I paint, and I read. I do these things for me.

And I love it. 

This is still circulating and it’s been a few years, so let me update. I’m officially a lawyer now, and still not a single regret about this choice. Settling into a stable job is such a gift and a privilege in ways I didn’t expect. I’m not going to repeat the advice given above, but I want to make it clear that having passed through my student years and into my career proper, I stand by this in every respect. 

I chose to take a job that was not the most high-paying option available to me, because it wouldn’t require me to bill my time, I would have a better work-life balance, I found the work more engaging, and I really loved the office. It has paid off so much.

I get to walk to work, and most days I leave my laptop behind when I walk home at five. I have a little house with a little garden and a bunch of seedlings sprouting too early for spring. I have two stupid cats and two stupider doves and they make me happy. I put a little money into food and shelter for the neighborhood strays and name all my visiting opossums Harold. My art gets done when I feel inspiration striking, sometimes in the middle of the night, and I let my hobby fund itself without the pressure of deadlines. There is so much joy in making only what I want to. My sleep schedule has stabilized. For the first time in my life, I know the shape my days will take weeks and months away, because my routine is consistent, and I never knew what a peace that was. My job is predictable but never boring, interesting but not consuming, and it’s just a job. 

There are people who will tell you–people who have told me–that turning my back on an artistic career or a career you have “potential” in is selling out, or settling. 

Let me tell you, friends, I have never felt so settled. 

Could we crash tumblr if we all posted the word "crash" on the 1st of april 2022, 12:35 EST?

Everyone schedule

Pm

Doing it again since I accidentally put the wrong time zone

So everyone can find their time :3

You may ask, "Jenna, why do you want this? Isn't there enough suffering in the world?" Well, you are right. But I want to scare the owners of this site. Not @staff, you know damn well they don't actually call the shots. No, i want to scare the people who make decisions. I want them to know that we can act as a unit and wreck shit on our own accord, that this community can move mountains. I want them to hesitate next time they make an announcement. Popular sovereignty, motherfuckers.

I know most people know this but some people in the notes don't, so reminder that you don't have to wake up or anything to post it, just schedule the post like this:

now you just hit the blue schedule and forget about it until the day it happens 👍

oh hell yeah im doing this gamers join us

i love this because everyone ive seen who's reblogged this is like "yeah okay whatever" like nobody's really excited about this it's just something we all feel the need to do because it's our duty to keep this website as uninhabitable as the fucking mariana trench

Please sign the petition!!!

if you can, not only sign but also donate to his GoFundMe, run by his mother and cousin. Lakeith has been denied visitation from any family members for the two years he’s been at the correctional facility. he has a daughter who was born after he was arrested that he has been never allowed to see. lets get him out of there.

Don’t donate to change . Org donate to the go fund me

A few months ago I reblogged a post sharing Jazzy’s gofundme, a girl who was poisoned by her roommate, noting that she only had about half her goal despite the fund being up for several years. I saw a lot of people reblog that version; Just a month or so later when I checked her fund again it had been reached!! And tons of people still reblog it.

I think when people are just scrolling and they come across these posts they don’t check immediately and forget about it, seeing all the notes and assuming the fund is doing well- I think more people need this visualized to realize this person REALLY needs help.

We can’t let Lakeith continue to be punished in this repulsive system. Please make sure him and his fund get the attention Jazzy does and let’s do everything we can to get him to the goal!! We have to reunite him with his family by any means possible.

As of today ( Saturday, August 8th, 2020 ) Lakeith is $12,061 from his goal!!

I didn't want to make a post for this month bc I thought things were looking up but I really need help with a few expenses this month. I really need groceries, I need to pick up 2 $70+ prescriptions, need to see my dermatologist again to be able to get one of those prescriptions that isn't covered by insurance and I haven't seen my therapist in a while because I haven't been able to afford to. It's little things that help you get through and I really appreciate all the support I've received in the past. Goal for the month is about $650. Thank you all so much!



This hasn't gained any traction, please keep reblogging!

I really need to get some groceries soon, please keep reblogging!

The Conclusion.

#what a way to discover you have a priase kink

When I got my first tattoo I told my rather beautiful tattoo artist that I refused to be a wuss and she said “Oh dont worry, if you squirm I will pin you down.”

And that lives in my head rent free.

“What is it with queer people and tattoos?”

Something something intricate rituals

how about we stop saying that people who offer diet advice “mean well.” Offering diet advice to a fat person who hasn’t explicitly said “I want diet advice” is an act of fat phobia and it’s actually really fucking damaging. Like, fundamentally it’s coming from a place of “I think you need to lose weight”. If I express discomfort in how I feel in my body and how it’s perceived that’s not actually me asking for diet advice and having it shoved at me isn’t well meaning.
