I… being in this fandom is like going to a museum for free, and the gallery expands every day. I mean look at this! Look at this! Somebody made this for free because beauty deserves to be made and beheld and beget more beauty.

Hey no-joke, you might want to take that to the nearest Fancy Library to have it professionally scanned (and given back, clearly). Or at least to your local Staples. That’s worth preserving.
YOU - “A little trouble under the sheets? Say no more, papa's got this. Big Poppa.”
RHETORIC - God -- what is happening in your HEAD?!
ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Big Big Poppa is happening.

Also- I want to acknowledge you are absolutely right. Sundown towns are not a thing of the past, and it is important that we own up to that so we can fix it.

's books that center BIPOC , LGBTQ+, women, and other marginalized groups, but then also cool magic, fascinating interpersonal politics, and- don't forget- explosions!

Personally, my ADHD means that sometimes reading comprehension requires a lot of energy/focus, especially if I’m not SUPER INTERESTED.
Dense-ness isn’t per se bad, but sometimes it can be tiring. (Literally the reason I wont pursue a PhD)
@hausofdecline
You’re one of my favorite all time cartoonists. It’s ok if you can’t “produce” for what may well be one of the hardest month(s) of your life. I mean it when I say you’re gonna be one of the greats. You just have to survive a little while longer. We’re all rooting for you.
I know we all know Harry would wear this outfit but do NOT draw a hairy man in this fit alone or it will seem like we are implying something extremely mean & untrue about my (parasocial) friend here.

YALL IS THE GREATEST GENDER INCLUSIVE COLLECTIVE PRONOUN IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND REJECTING IT AS PROFESSIONAL IS ALMOST ALWAYS SOME COMBO OF CLASSIST, RACIST, OR REGIONALIST
Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Also- I’ve been thinking. Challenging reading that pushes your intellect & imagination is vital.
But often “dense” writing is just bad. Or, worse, an ableist/elitist barrier to entry. Clarity requires skill.
Morrison= challenging conceptually😍
Purposefully obtuse authors= 🙄

whoops!
For anybody with a text-reader; Picture 1: Queer Eye heroine says "My style icon is Janelle Monae, love her." Picture 2: Tan throws his head back to howl in agreement

Allow me: the wealth hoarders at the tippy top 0.09% are so astronomically far away from the ppl in the top 10-0.1% it’s easy to see them and realize you are closer in wealth to the middle class. Takes active work to resist & remember you’re still fucking rich.

My guy Liam once unprovoked told a reporter a story of a time he had grabbed a bat looking to kill the first black man he saw. We’ll find another Irishman.
@orangee55
I can’t stop looking at this. The fact that Lilliane is the one rowing. The knowing look they are exchanging. The fact it is two panels because, in truth, they can never share the same plane. The fact that at first blush it feels intimate, even romantic.
@SorayaMcDonald
Like have you seen that video with Bezo’s wealth in terms of grains of rice? A person who makes $200,000 each year can see that huge pile and say “Wow. I make only two grains of rice.” Some ppl use this to redistribute & ally w the middle class. Some use it2pretend they’re poor.
@JenaFriedman
Excuse me Jena I was halfway through the tweet before I realized it was not a joke and was, instead, a poignant observation of a harsh reality.
@NeolithicSheep
Whoo boy. Imagine thinking only ppl w access to formal learning can be brilliant: or that God would only care about one type of brilliance.

@sighs_alot
It’s not better, but there are many people who are attached to his name and the legacy of his flag. I imagine they might feel more open to this one. It would be a problem if it entirely supplanted the Philly diversity flag but I don’t think it’ll be an issue.
I drew a Kim in a little outfit. I’ve decided I’m gonna post my drawings & not be embarrassed & y’all can just follow along as I improve 😤

Literally 4 yr olds know their gender if properly allowed to explore+express. So insulting to suggest autistic people don’t know themselves.

See bc if this was a physical space they would be somewhere between mocked into the ground or punched into the pavement. Internet makes it so hard to corral these assholes.

Trans people are just, fucking magic man. Trans existence is such a bright spot of hope for a world in which people can truly claim their own bodies, destinies & selfhoods.
In my experience, the concepts of consent & mutual pleasure within the BDSM & kink communities are, as a rule, light years ahead of mainstream culture.
I doubt anyone who follows me needs to hear this, but: BDSM is not abuse. Abuse is abuse. Sometimes BDSM is done in an abusive way. Sometimes vanilla sexual activities are done in an abusive way. Abuse is not inherent to BDSM. Informed and ongoing consent is always key.
If you know somebody who has been traumatized by a church, fight the urge to immediately suggest they go to *your* church. Only after learning about their story and desires, and VETTING YOUR CHURCH, gently make your church known as an *option*. It's about agency/safety.

Do you have preferences for image descriptions?
- what are your feelings on describing colors?
- would it be more meaningful to describe textures?
- what about things like composition, contrast, etc. ?
Please don't feel obligated to respond. <3
Ok so I do actually have some knowledge here and this is an slimy misrepresentation of a true concept. Fictional violence does not translate to real violence (far as we can tell). But an influential figure, endorsed by a huge media company, being transphobic is not fiction.

@coneboobs
You can fuck all the way off. I don't care who she is, this tweet is transphobic bullshit. Politics aside, this tells every trans person that follows you that their identity is 1. based on looks and 2. a violent joke to you.
@doddsmountain
A question for after the RSD wears off a bit but… I’d really love to have a fan zine of ppl even just from this thread. I’m honored to see all the amazing work each of you do- for free! Dodds, you specifically have such an incredible eye for angles. (cntd)
