the conflation of employment with virtue
I get it- people can't let themselves consider that random chance plays into who gets to stay on the knife's edge of employment and who falls into the abyss. Allowing those thoughts to creep in would keep them up at night.
It's still horrifying, though
Hey y'all. I know it's been a few days. I've been busy with some things.
I'm taking commissions right now. In general, I'll draw any request, but for now I'm advertising profile images. I'm asking $25, and I can style it however you'd like.
I posted this on BIrdsite and Crumblr, and Kit suggested I post here. I was nervous about the self promotion, but at this point, after this month, I'll have no money to support myself. If you could please, please Boost this post, I'd appreciate even that.
spoilers for gender dysphoria: the movie
@shel the hair thing at the start was basically me up to the point where I made the call to the informed consent place
This "Gender Dysphoria: The Movie" short film (17m) is so good. Title could be better but it's a really good sort of cabaret through dysphoria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayuqizp4fyY (CW: alcohol, abuse, dysphoria)
It's by contrapoints and is definitely art by my standards it's not that kitschy For Cis People 101 stuff
@BillieCodes omg! swimming is a treat!

Weed, AIDS crisis
This woman is a fucking hero and I had never heard of her before today.
"Mary Jane Rathbun, popularly known as Brownie Mary, was an American medical cannabis activist. As a hospital volunteer at San Francisco General Hospital, she became known for illegally baking and distributing cannabis brownies to AIDS patients."
Like, thousands and thousands of brownies, for a decade.
