I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

[FTM 15 In Memoriam April 1991. Two services were held for Louis Sullivan on Friday, March 15, 1991. One was a large service held at the Neptune Society Columbarium. However, and earlier service for approximately twenty people was also arranged aboard a small double tiered boat which departed from Pier 40 in San Francisco. The boat service was powerful precisely because Lou had planned all of the details himself. He had requested a party and a celebration in which his ashes would be scattered in the San Francisco bay. Indeed most everyone felt Lou's presence, and an intermingling sensation that this was the way he wanted things done....]

Lou Sullivan was a visionary gay trans activist, writer, speaker, and organizer who advocated for the recognition of gay trans people.

A photo of a trio of my Peep Rex figures. They are fluffy TRex chicks colored in blue, pink, and yellow. They sit on a wooden floor with a backdrop of Easter grass and pastel eggs.

A closeup of the back of my blue Peep Rex showing the sugary coating.

Peep Rex - fluffy little friends for Easter 🐣 These chicks will sneak into candy baskets to steal treats. They have a sugary coating on their backs to fool the human eye. Preorder one now for a limited time! I will also have some stock at LVFC in April.

Luuuuuuuuuunaaaaaa 💚

Few local creatures stop me in my tracks like this, just the sheer size and soft colors and markings. Like, welp, day instantly better.

I finished both the nubuck ascot and the double sided/reversible Italian sheepskin ascot today, but at the cost of my favorite ruler

Rest in pieces I guess

A photo collage portrait of a bobwhite quail, put together from photos of my glasses, sweater, and ascot. Textures applied are from photographs of the concrete wall behind me currently. No AI was used, fuck AI forever. Play with photographs like paper dolls, like a real human being.

I need more furries to do commissions of like... photo draw overs. Like: "here's a photo of me, now draw over it with me as (x) creature and put me in (y) room/environment/situation"

Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!

I deleted the thread on emotional crash outs because I can say it more succinctly like this:

Check on your emotionally reserved friends. A lot of us don't express distress openly and many people mistake that for invulnerability or hypercompetence. I find that especially true among trans people.

Coffee bags, one is Tom of Finland with a Tom of Finland image on it. The other is Moomin with a Moomin leaning on a blueberry. More details: in the photograph of two "Art Roast" coffee bags on the shelf of a store with prices in euros. One of the bags is large and black and says HEAVY DUTY dark roast coffee beans, exclusive blend by Robert [I can't read it, it's in script]. The other is blue and says Blueberry coffee.

ah yes, the two genders

if you're not freaky you will die. you will die on the inside. your friends can be there all you want but their words and hugs will never truly reach you if you're hiding yourself inside of yourself all the time. if you have any respect for yourself, you have to stop treating yourself like that.

you should even get weirder about that one thing. yes. i'm not kidding. the world is going to shit. most of you are experiencing an active fascist takeover. the status quo won't save you. boxing yourself in for clout and clicks won't save you. brutal honesty will save you. your friends will save you

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img

Disturbing to see every trans person on my timeline vocally distressed about the shit in Kansas, a huge step towards banning trans folk from public life there, and total crickets from the majority of cis folk

It's been decades of trans folk pleading cis folk to step up. If not now, when?

Ron is a muscular Black man with a mustache, smiling and raising his arm to applause. He is wearing a leather vest, cap and x chest harness. [Text from Ron's IML speech: Growing up gay isn't easy. Growing up in leather is even harder. We've come a long way, but we have a lot farther to go. Whether in leather or in lace. Whether in white collar or in blue, we need to talk to each other to try to understand each other, to work together, to strengthen the bonds we have already fashioned. If we use our god-given gifts: our intellects to know what is right, our wills to do what is right with compassion and love, we will better ourselves and the world around us. As International Mr. Leather I hope to bring all minorities together in the brotherhood we share.]

Ron Moore was a member of the Denver Gay Men's Chorus and the Metropolitan Community Church. He was titled Mr. Leather Colorado 1984 and was the first Black leatherman to be titled International Mr. Leather in 1984.

Mspaint doodle- a person strides forward, wearing a shirt with a trans flag. They say "I LOVE being trans!". They have an expression of pure glee.

The person is stopped by someone else, who accusingly points while they say "You! Justify your happiness to me!"

The accosting person says "Debate me no-". They are cut off by the person in the trans shirt saying "No thank you!" as lasers shoot from their eyes, exploding the head of the other character in a cartoonish fashion.

The accosting person stands, alive but expressionless as their headless torso smolders. The person in the trans shirt walks away, a stupidly happy grin still present.

Happy 3-year anniversary to Don't Play Defense #Art #Pride
