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: youtube.com/watch?v=Ayuqizp4fy (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

Being full of estrogen makes my skin super soft, but I miss being able to scratch the heck out of bugbites without it looking like I'd been mauled by a bear

activists who protested during trumps inauguration are now facing up to 75 years prison 

meanwhile the march was attacked by #police, who used chemical and crowd control weapons along with physical force and mass-arrests. Everyone on an entire city block was arrested and given the same charge of felony rioting. 214 arrestees face a total of eight felony charges,... conspiracy and destruction of property. And now facing up to 75 years in prison.

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.

LB: the real irony here is that lemons turned out to be an ancient hybrid of citron and orange

LIFE didn't even literally GIVE us lemons

just as in reality, humans make problems for other humans

if all you have is lemons, blame ancient humans for creatin' the damned things, if you ask me
