“Art is a human right” and “pay for your damn commissions” are in no way incompatible stances. The right to have access to the arts in general does not imply a right to have any particular artist produce a bespoke piece to your exact specifications. The second one is a luxury in the same sense that any other bespoke service is a luxury. This isn’t rocket science.
There’s this weird culture of telling kids when they stress about school “u ain’t seen nothin yet hun! Wait till u do tax returns! Hahaha adulthood is fucking hell!” And i hate it b/c
1) it’s flat out untrue. Adulthood is a breeze compared to school. I have time to myself to do what I find fun and can make my own choices. Like, yeah, I’m poor and have to take care of myself, but the central activity of my life– work – is waaaaaay easier than school, mentally and emotionally.
2) Part of the reason school made me anxious to the point of considering suicide is that I had this wrong idea, drilled into my head by YEARS of people saying this, that if I didn’t do well in school, I would be a useless member of society, unable to be productive or do anything meaningful. Failing a class meant I might as well be dead. That’s the false equivalence this culture creates. But grades don’t mean SHIT in the workforce unless you’re trying to become a college professor or do something that requires a hella advanced degree.
3) it helps no one to say this! All it does is give mentally ill children, most of whom are already struggling to get through the DAY, the idea that it will only get much, much worse. I know I couldn’t cope with that thought. Any future planning past my 20s was blocked out in a haze of terror at the thought of having to persevere that long, only to get a shittier situation at the end. But it’s not shittier. I have to be more responsible, but this is a piece of goddamn cake compared to even High School. The only reason to say this to a teenager is to inflate your own sense of superiority over someone who is still learning how the world works.
So like. Can we kill this culture? Please?
everyone acts like bucky was the troublemaker in the steve/bucky relationship but steve picked fights with everything that moved and bucky went to a science convention for fun
ONE of the most important rules of the Galactic Federation concerns humanity. If a human ever says “Hold my beer”, either stop them, or run.
Two of the most recognized human warships have never fired a shot in anger. Their mere appearance once stopped a genocidal war, and they have been invited on peacekeeping missions simply based on reputation.
The ships’ names:
UNS Fuck Around And Find Out UNS Hold My Beer
“Sir, there’s a ship approaching!”
“Name?”
“UNS Talk Shit Get Hit, sir.”
“Right, so, we will be abandoning this course of action posthaste—”
cats will be like oh you're walking somewhere? no WE'RE walking somewhere. and i will get there first. where is 'there' btw
Oh look, it’s entirely possible for a cisgender comedian to crack jokes about transgender people without being transphobic.

calling what is happening to trans people in the south an attempt at genocide: correct and ok. it's going to get worse if we don't fight back now
comparing it to the holocaust: not ok and also i'm fucking blocking you.
no genocide is the same. not every genocide mirrors the holocaust. using the deaths of jews, lgbt people, disabled people, and poc during the holocaust as your "gotcha" card every time our rights are in danger today proves you know nothing about the history you're talking about.
also, if you are truly so hard pressed to bring up nazi germany into the discussion of trans rights being targeted in america, talk about what happened to gay and trans people under the regime. talk about how they destroyed our institutions. talk about how they burned our books. talk about the eerily familiar language they used to describe us (see "seduction of youth" and "recruitment")
but as a trans jew, i am telling you that if you're looking at a current social issue and thinking "hmm who are the nazis and who are the jews in this situation" then you're doing it wrong and you're doing it dangerously.
For that matter, look into how the queerphobia and antisemitism were intertwined. Look into how the reason they hated Magnus Hirschfeld's work so much was because he was not just validating queerness, but a Jewish scientist validating queerness. Look into how this created a feedback loop in the nazi mind that accepting queerness - sorry, ~sexual deviance~ - was enabling the ~Jewish menace~, and that Jews are sexually ~deviant~ and predatory.
Examine this, then use this understanding to beat the importance of solidarity into your head. Realize that when they can associate a negative stereotype with more than one marginalized group, they're going to feedback loop it around all of us, unless they can come up with competing stereotypes to keep us fighting each other and doing their work.
Btw - a huge part of the reason the word "genocide" exists is so that we CAN describe targeted attempts to eliminate a population without trying to make 1:1 comparisons to the holocaust (or any other specific genocide, for that matter); so that we can learn from historical incidents WITHOUT erasing the unique distinguishing factors, and in doing so failing to learn from those distinctions on top of disrespecting the victims and survivors.
New comic! How comparison is the thief of joy because no one ever gives me pie.

yall with adhd or autism or such ever just get…. bored. like so Painfully bored. like its not “oh hehe i was so bored and i made this” to flex or “oh im so bored bc i have nothing to do” but like a “i am physically incapable of ending this horrible understimulation with any activity i might attempt” and its genuinely fucking painful
Bonus points if you try a bunch of things and none of them are right so you’re just walking a circuit around your place, getting increasingly frustrated about all the things you don’t want to be doing and not being able to settle on a task
