'based on a true story' was the funniest horror marketing trope for a while we need to bring it back. big fan of a lack of need to specify how much and what parts. i love when words mean anything

If you’ve had a period of basically dissociating from a hard time of your life, you’ll know that doing even the littlest thing that has an effect in the real world vs on a screen can be so profound. Something as little as you doing a favor for someone, or someone noticing something about you that you didn’t think anyone would even pick up on bc your brain is all messed up about being perceived. Your living footprint is all muddied and murky. It takes a lot to even feel like you’re inhibiting your body. So consequences that come as a direct result of you just living, whether big or small, blow you away on an inexplicable level
if you've ever lived an isolated life, knowing that you're making a mark in the "real world" can feel so wonderful and strange. you mean i exist, outside of this weird liminal space i inhabit? i get so hungry for that validation. you know my favorite color!!? you think i have a sweet voice?!! you remember that thing i said ages ago!!? because of these seemingly inane things, i get to affirm, again & again, i exist, i exist, i exist. im a real person!! i do things that have consequences!! i won't disappear off the face of the earth if you remember me in these big & small ways.
he wouldn't let me rest until i did this meme for him. with a twist.

From above the Blue Whale almost looks like a submarine...........
sees earth's biggest animal: huh. that is big
Not only is it Earth's biggest animal, it's (as far as we know) the biggest animal to ever exist!
Bigger than any dinosaur, bigger than any plesiosaur. How lucky we are to get to see it!
My longhouse is perfectly constructed. Every morning when I wake up in bed at the far end of my longhouse, I say my syllable. Then I spend all day sitting in bed. By sunset my syllable has traveled to the other end of my longhouse and back, and as it smacks me in the head, I fall asleep. My longhouse is perfectly constructed.

One of my favorite paintings I did for TMNT Mutant Mayhem. Done early in production, Mid 2021. Was really trying to get the feeling of the artificial light in the foreground and a more organic city glow in the background. This was one of the paintings that defined the style for background matte paintings in the movie.
I am well aware that I don't know even a smidgen of the discrimination and pain people with cognitive development issues face, but the term "forever a child" really does kick up this sick, helpless rage in me that makes me want to scream. to say someone is forever a child is to imply that they will never experience a "real/full" life. it's rude and untrue at best, and solidly cruel at worst. it robs folks of dignity, makes others feel justified in treating them like animals. I hate it so much. and I have no alternative.
maybe it would be better if children were granted respect and autonomy. maybe I wouldn't want to crush myself into a shoebox every time some abled person casually calls someone with Downs syndrome or dyspraxia "silly" or childish. I don't know. it just hurts.
Sharing a recent commission that holds a very special place in my heart 🥹🫶

I'M JUST KEN (AND I'M ENOUGH) AND I'M GREAT AT DOING ~STUFF~

I know that at some point a lot of people were joking about IBS and being incontinent and I won't pretend like I didn't find a lot of those jokes funny or anything, but I feel that people should have more respect and compassion for people that are incontinent and have bowel and or bladder issues and whatnot. These people are physically disabled in some way or another and deal with being embarrassed in real life over things that they can't control when they shouldn't, and people should probably be sympathizing with them instead of dismissing or being grossed out by them and laughing at their conditions. This of course includes people who use or need things like diapers past the typical age that they're worn as well for these very reasons, as there are many non infants and non elderly people that use them, and all these people should be cared for, respected, and receive proper medical treatment and accomidations.
100% like if you can be normal about people who menstruate using tampons or pads, then why be so weird about people who experience incontinence using diapers or other similar accommodations? it's the same principle as a bandaid absorbing blood/pus from an injury or infection. it is completely normal to wear something to catch and absorb waste until it can be changed
people act like it's such a Big Deal when it's like, okay?? we do this kind of thing literally all the time. it is a basic hygiene practice for waste that cannot be released in a consciously controlled way- that's literally it. it is truly and genuinely Not That Deep
ableism will have people believing that disabled people are somehow practicing hygiene in ways that are fundamentally different, and it's rooted in an old eugenic belief that disabled people themselves are fundamentally lesser or dirty somehow. the idea that disabled people are worthy of disgust or should be avoided (used to justify ableist segregation or incarceration)
it's transparently bigoted stigma--there is no rational objective reason why people view adults wearing diapers as unsanitary or shameful. I think, though, that it's ableism that a lot of people have not unpacked within themselves yet
As somebody who works in SPED, I'm adding onto this for all of my students who need help toileting. These people did NOT ask to be born unable to walk, unable to toilet by themselves. They are all teenagers like any other teenagers. They listen to the same music, want to watch Tik Tok, have likes and dislikes. But because they need a diaper, we're going to what - laugh at them?
And what about people who have had children - that takes a lot out of a body. There's no underlying disease or condition except they carried a child for 9 months and now their body just can't control everything. Did they ask to have their bodies wrecked while pregnant? No. They didn't.
What about people who survived a horrific event and now have bladder/bowel issues?
What about cancer survivors whose bodies have been wrecked because of the treatments that do just as much harm to their bodies as the disease?
What about just getting old? We all get old. And that...that can be the great equalizer. All healthy and shit as a young adult and suddenly, your body just starts giving out.
Think before you point and laugh. Think before you pull out your phone to video somebody in distress to post it for laughs. Think before you shun somebody. These are people...all of them are just people. And they deserve the same amount of respect and compassion as any able body person demands.
