what the actual fuck is this shit. fuck you spotify you capitalist bastards

six skips a day thing sucks but you know what? i can live with it. ads? i mute them when they come on and resume music like nothing happened. its inconvenient sure but i can deal.

now, apparently, you can only access the lyrics of five songs per month if you don't pay for spotify premium. which is still about 11 quid per month which is still fucking ridiculous when all you get out of it is. you dont have to hear ads. you can listen to stuff you wanna hear. the sound is good. you can organise your queue. and now they're paywalling fucking lyrics scrolls literally just because they can.

(and they still don't pay their artists by the way)

Perfect opportunity to promote my favorite app ever, Musi!

(This is the Musi icon)

It’s an app on iOS that streams from YouTube. Meaning, if the video is on YouTube, you can watch/listen to it on Musi.

Features of Musi, all of which are 100% FREE

And the best part in my opinion?

No audio ads

Only video ads, which the music plays through. AND.

The ability to remove ads FOREVER for only $5.99

The only drawbacks I see:

All of which I think are more than worth all the other amazing features

Please let me know if I’ve convinced you to use Musi, I’ve been using it for years and it’s genuinely my favorite app.

one reblog = one reblog

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

”college kids are out of control” every college with a major protest is getting swarmed by riot police and every person they arrest gets pinned by six cops a person.

Conservatives love to tout the first amendment until people they don’t like use it.

I got an ask from someone who felt timid about drawing curlier hair and wanted some advice! This is by NO means exhaustive and is mostly just my thought process for my own stylization. There are tons of resources for drawing more textured hair, so for this I just wanted to focus on curls. hope it helps!

through a series of unfortunate (drunk) events last night my art ended up in the hands of the dunkin’ donuts CEO. btw

so the thing about going to school for an illustration degree is that basically everyone knows it’s a financial death sentence. so at least once every semester they make you pretend you’re a successful illustrator closing a financially lucrative editorial or advertising deal. in my most recent semester at art college my court-mandated advertising assignment ended in me producing two illustrations advertising for dunkin’ donuts, purely because i had a dunkin iced in my hand when i was frantically trying to come up with a concept the day before sketches were due.

last night i got home for the summer, and as is tradition in my household i showed my parents most of the art i’d created for the past semester. as is also tradition in my household, all three of us were drinking heavily the entire time. this art show included the aforementioned dunkin’ donuts ads.

my mother, several glasses of wine deep, becomes very excited upon seeing the dunkin ads, and tells me she HAS to text them to her brother, who used to work in sales for dunkin. I, also several glasses of wine deep, remember very little about my uncle’s job but know that he is retired. i agree to let her send them to him.

my uncle (sober, presumably) texts her back immediately and says that he loves them and wants to send them to his “old boss” at dunkin. my mother and i (drunk) agree to this. he sends the images to his boss. what everyone has neglected to mention to me up until this point is that my uncle was SENIOR VP OF SALES at dunkin’ donuts and his “old boss” in question is the CEO OF THE COMPANY. my mother relays this information to me while looking incredibly guilty. i start cry-laughing. the ceo of dunkin liked the fake ads apparently. i was unfortunately not offered a marketing position

because people have asked, here are the fake ads in question:

Also because some people seem genuinely upset on my behalf in the notes, just to clarify: the story above wasn't like. my uncle pitching me as an ad illustrator to the ceo or the ceo taking my art for free or anything. it was a series of drunk text messages at near-midnight on a thursday that just happened to involve the ceo of dunkin donuts. Basically all he said was that he liked them. The point of assignments like this is to be able to put an example of advertisement work that you COULD do in your portfolio, and if you do put something like this in your portfolio it has to come with the disclaimer that this WASN'T an officially contracted piece of work for the company, just an example assignment. I got my grade for this assignment a LONG time ago so no one stole my labor and they really don't owe me a job or any money i promise. it's just kind of funny that i happened to do a fake ad for a company that i apparently have some connections to already

Just so like... it's clear... anyone who censors words that contain "man" or "men" to anything like "xxn" that's TERF shit.

Any reference to women/womanhood that solely revolves around having a uterus or "womb" is TERF shit.

Any sentence where the OP says they support people being "trans identified" with quotes around ""transwomen"" or ""transmen"" is TERF shit.

I'm seeing a lot of you baby Tumblr gays out there not knowing what these specific TERF dogwhistles look like.

"Wombxxn" is an incredibly dumb way of spelling "woman" that treats the word "man" like a slur and also reduces women to their ability to give birth.

"Trans identified" is their way of saying "this person calls themselves trans, but I don't believe they are."

Saying "People should be allowed to identify however they wish, but we still need to protect women/children" IS TERF SHIT.

Learn to identify this garbage, because not all TERFs are going to spell out their intolerance for you. Some of them are going to try and seem reasonable and polite and normal, and it's fucking dangerous to our community.

Also unpack any internalized transphobia and your transmedicalism, because both those things will have you quickly siding with TERFs and bigots.
