It's a unique type of frustration when you agree that a character is deeply flawed but other people keep missing what's actually wrong with them and assigning them new flaws that they don't even have it's like free my man he did none of that. He did a bunch of other shit tho.

Hello everyone! I have launched my very first kickstarter to create some hard enamel pins!

It would mean the world to me if you could share this around!

The more pins you purchase during backing you can get a discount

We have just unlocked the croc! About 600 more to unlock the orca. I have high hopes for the full set to be released!

Social media really has given people a sense of entitlement. It’s given some people the impression that they have the right to know everything about everyone. It’s also given them the impression that they can go into someone’s inbox and rudely demand an answer or rudely demand information about someone.

Folks, you are not entitled to know everything. If someone shares information, it’s because they are comfortable sharing it. If you make the choice to be rude and demanding in someone’s inbox, don’t be surprised if you get an answer you don’t like.

Waiting for people to fuck up so you can cancel them, gatekeeping, communities self-policing to the point of self-destruction, debating each other's validity, communities infighting over terminology, fighting over the Best way to exist, trying to define what a Bad Community Member is/does, vilifying those people.

Besties I think we fucked up and internalized the surveillance state or the omni-present judgment of god or purity culture or perhaps just maybe all 3

You know what? My disability does hold me back! I'm sick of pretending it doesn't because society only thinks we're worthy if we're actively trying to "overcome" our disabilities or that we "defy the odds". I'm sick of hearing "you can do anything you put your mind to" because that's just not true and is often invalidating of the struggles disabled people face.

I am worthy either way, regardless of whether I can contribute in a way that society deems acceptable or not.

The same applies to you! You are worthy if you can't drive, can't finish school, can't work a conventional job. You are worthy if you can't live on your own without help. You are worthy if you'll need assistance for the rest of your life. You are worthy, always.

Revenge for @the-squeege but I for sure have to draw something else because holy shit man your attack was insane and I LOVE IT SO MUCH I NEED EVERYONE TO LOOK I will link when he posts it....

Anyway here's Howard!! Every year I said I was going to draw him.. for four years.. finally drew him though! He is so precious and I love him (~ ̄▽ ̄)~

Idle reminder that cyberstalking is bad and that if you're following someone across social media for weeks or months to gather "evidence" to prove that they're bad, then you should probably consider whether you're actually the good guy in that situation.

Go do literally anything else. Dig a garden bed. Learn how to embroider. Play a video game. Just stop fucking stalking people online to buff up your callout post so that you feel better about trying to dox someone over fandom drama.

assorted works in progress. its mercurial and fleeting due to disability, and i like to jump around a lot between ideas. some things take weeks or months or a year or two but i usually forget to record when i actually started a file so i can only ever tell you when i finish it

opal and dante may be getting new refs sometime in the future, some other character designs bc thats my favorite, some worldbuilding stuff

narrow human-sized streets in dense cities would reduce pedestrian fatalities by a lot especially for disabled people who can’t drive

like I get that you love your cars and you love how much freedom it gives you or whatever but I’ve also almost been run over more times than I can count for the crime of just . going to the store or the pharmacy. I’m sick of fearing for my life every time I step outside because the world was built for car owners and nobody else. it fucking sucks
