Hello everyone! Care to help out your local gay, trans, autistic artist this Pride Month?

My GoFundMe is officially up! I've been accepted to the City of Glasgow college for an HND illustration! In order to sustain living overseas, I'm definitely going to need some help. This is a big step for me!

Being able to go to school in the UK has been a dream of mine for a while and finally moving away from my home environment is a change that is LONG overdue. Working to permanently reside overseas means I will finally be free of an incredibly toxic household and get to a place where I can not only start a career, but also be safe and start fresh and heal around people who truly support me.

♡ Any little donation helps! ♡

who would win in a fight: an army of lush employees vs an army of bath and body works employees??? discuss

lush employees, who are more adept at guerrilla warfare and fabian tactics. bath and body works employees rely too much on pitched battle and are not equipped well enough for prolonged conflict

I disagree with some of that, I feel as though the Bath and Body Works employees are pretty well trained in the art of handling an all out attack. Their defenses are high and well coordinated. Remember, they deal with white moms on the daily, whereas I feel that Lush employees are more used to dealing with a younger generation of customers.I feel as though they’d be equally matched but in the end I feel with the advancement in technology that Lush possesses over Bath and Body Works in terms of sheer amount that they sell, ultimately Lush wins, but not without heavy casualties.

All true, but everyone is forgetting Bath and Body Works employees have extreme training dealing with the hell on Earth that is Semi Annual Sale. Have you ever seen someone come between a white woman in her 40s and Vanilla Bean Noel at 75% off? Bath and Body Works employees have and still live to tell their stories

I think terrain is an important consideration? Lush employees are better at straight melee since they’re used to fighting in close quarters, whereas B&BW employees have more experience in moving through wider terrain and using ranged attacks.

this is the kind of discourse I want on my dash

It’s my 24th birthday today! If anyone would like to donate to help me with expenses over here in Scotland, it would be very much appreciated 💕

Have you seen the trailer for the new All Quiet on the Western Front??? it looks so good and i'm beyond excited for it!! i'm so happy wwi is getting more time in the spotlight these days <3

Yyeeessss I am very excited for it, it looks very good, and I’m so glad to hear German instead of the American English in the original film everyone’s had to put up with for the past 90 years 😂 I hope they continue to make good WWI films that don’t just focus on British narratives

Hey there Alastair 🤍 I'm a long time follower and I wanted to thank you for all the wonderful content you've created, I can honestly say that at times your blog was my only comfort. Things are better now, and I'm getting top surgery very soon! Any advice? Things I should do pre-op, post-op? Things I should be aware of? Thank you!

Avatar

Ahh thank you and congrats! I have a—actually quite complete—guide of my own surgery experience I was going to post last year but wanted to wait to get the 2 year post op photo to add to the healing section so y’all could see the difference. I’ll try to post the doc soon since I made 2 years this July

Just wanted to say that the cartoon you drew with the soldiers and the Sappho quote is something I re-read from time to time, and each time I do it makes me tear up. Your art is so beautiful, and it is a privilege to get to see some of what you create.

Thank you sm :’) that’s actually my favourite comic I’ve done so far, I reread it from time to time myself. I’ve always loved that quote and I was so happy to capture the feeling I get from it in such a short piece
