have we fallen in love yet?

*coughs up blood* themes… motifs… *dies

Sort of a new year piece in advance, because I'm moving during the holidays and this is the last painting I'll be able to complete and post before 2024 comes around :) It's a bittersweet end of the year for me, but 2023 was rich and eventful, and I'm grateful to have found my home in the world 🇩🇰 Thank you all for your continued support ❤️

too many people being antisemitic under the guise of caring about palestinians & too many people being islamophobic under the guise of caring about jews

ive gotta mission for you. you're gonna watch a series with a primarily male cast.and you're going to find a woman character that nobody else gives a fuck about and you are going to be insane about her, okay? you're going to watch her collective 1 hour of screentime total and you're going to pretend she was the focus of every episode ever, okay? it's called respecting women. your mission starts now

I’m gonna GIFT the world! That’s right! This is what you get! My super RED-NOSED REINDEER!

there’s this interesting tendency that especially young ppl have when it comes to art where they want to “consume” art by women, lgbt ppl, poc, to make themselves more feminist, anti-racist, etc, and then when they discover these artists have flaws too, that they aren’t perfect representatives of the social movement that’s being projected onto them, they don’t know what to do with that so instead of engaging with these new perspectives they return to art by straight white men who avoid saying something wrong on these topics by simply not speaking of them at all

Most targets of “cancel culture” are women and people of color for this reason.

There’s also something very paternalistic about judging art from anyone who isn’t a white man by how flawless and “non-problematic” the representation is in their art while we judge (mostly white, mostly western) men by the metric of good prose, good characterisation, themes and narrative for example, when it comes to books. It feels as if the “universal” work is reserved for them, while everyone else gets to sit at the kids table and get an award for stuff like “book with most likeable bisexual character”.

oh yeah forgot to post these guys

for when you're definitely very normal about Things

hey, does anyone want to lock antlers and drown together in a cold lake? it has to be weird.

NO WAY

I’ve been doxxed 😨

I once worked on a phone campaign to disallow the trees around your crater from being cut down...

I am deeply deeply in love with you 💙 Thanks so much for your conservation effort!

It’s the small things we all do together that can make a big difference! 💙💙💙💙 And you’ve done it!!!

People just gotta know what Crater Lake and Wizard Island looks like

What in the Skyrim

been there several times. And yeah, Skyrim feels super duper Oregon in a lot of ways.
