i got to draw papyrus for a school assignment
this is reminding me of how sexual dimorphism is cool to me, but im afriad if i try to use it for designing characters, people will call me transphobic or something
I mean all you gotta do is not act like there are two sexes and nothing in between
in evolutionary biology, we see that variation in traits tends to fall into one of two general shapes (obviously I am oversimplifying, humor me): bell curve, and reverse bell curve
some traits are best in an niche if they are in the "middle of the road" (bell curve)
and some are best at either extreme (reverse bell curve)
but theres never NOTHING at the ends or the middle
so we expect to see low levels of variation in that non-ideal space
and we see that with sexual characteristics in every group! humans have a wide variety of less common variation between the two end-peaks of commonly associated traits
IE, the "biosex" of "female" is defined by XX chromosomes AS WELL AS certain hormonal traits, primary sexual characteristics, and secondary sexual characteristics
but tons of people fall in that "middle" space between the two extremes of "male" and "female" and these conditions (aka, variations of hormonal, sexual, or genetic characteristics related to reproductive biology) are what we know as "intersex"
and NONE of these have ANYTHING to do with societal roles, presentation, external appearance, or personal identity
emphasizing that gender is separate from "biosex" which is still a social construct
so having your sexual dimorphism not be FULLY dimorphic, bc that doesn't exist; and having gender roles separate from that dimorphism; and mazal tov! no transphobia or intersexism!
What are the sources for the gender science books? Never heard about that
one of if not the first public book burning the nazists performed was the burning of the archives of the institut für sexualwissenschaft (institute for sexual science) in berlin in 1933. the institute was a pioneering organisation for what we would today call lgbt people and from it sprung the first european gay rights movement during the weimar republic in between the world wars. the institute is remarkable for having performed some of the earliest hormone replacement treatments and the first sexual reassignment surgeries, and acted simultaneously as a research centre, a medical clinic, and as a social gathering space.
Doctor Magnus Hirschfeld (Z''L) who headed the institute was himself a remarkable individual, and is the person who first coined the word transsexual. virtually everyone connected to the institute were later either forced into exile, sentenced to concentration camps, or outright executed, and the nazists did their best to totally erase the movement that sprung from the institute from history.
^nazists, may they burn in the fire eternally, march on the institute and ransack its archives in preparation for the book burning.
^ costume party at the institute. Doctor Hirschfeld (2nd from the right) hold hands with his lover Karl Giese (4th from the right).
^Doctor Hirschfeld (right) sits with his other lover Li Shiu Tong, also known as Tao Li (left), the two in addition to Karl Giese shared a flat in Paris for some time, apparently living as a ménage à trois.
Few things piss me off as much as TERFs using the images of this specific book burning to attack their critics. And the fact that I bet at least some of them know damn well what was being burned makes it even worse.
Seein' too many Twitter refugees asking if they'll get in trouble for saying "kill yourself" to people and while no, you're not gonna get nuked from orbit, that is maybe something you just shouldn't be doing in general perhaps?? Maybe telling people to kill themselves is bad actually?? Some of y'all are wild, why is the first thing you can think to ask on a new platform if you can send one of the worst kinds of harassment to people?? Grow tf up and learn how to use the block button. It'll do wonders for your mood, trust me.
"kill yourself" isn't a bannable offense but it is a dick move and not nearly as funny or witty as you think it is.
One time I told a girl “actually, suicide baiting ISNT funny, what the fuck?” And then all her friends suicide baited me because “Erm, we were talking about doing it to TERFS! You TRANSPHOBE!”
Then when someone informed her I was a trans woman she said, “Oh. Well she was annoying so its fine.”
ZERO thought for those around you. Dont be like that.
Exercises for all the homies who want to have a long career drawing.
The true problem with being an artist and drawing all day (as I wanted my whole life) is that human backs are not designed to hold that position, so it is very common for artists and designers to have really stiff shoulder blades, creating a chain of muscle strain towards the arm AND the back… and a lot of pain.
These are some physical exercises for artists and honestly anyone who works at a desk.

Day 153 of drawing Papyrus until he cameos in deltarune! Honestly Sans!! You're going to catch a cold 🙄🙄 you're in a world where you can draw anything into existence and he chooses to draw his sentry station to sleep at. It feels mocking.
