But if you do choose to come out, my advice is to remember that it's for YOUR benefit. Not theirs.

You can tell them that if you want.

I did. 🏳️‍🌈💙🏳️‍⚧️

Nor are you any less valid as a queer person or a human being.

Happy National Coming Out Day!

Been out and proud for 30 years now. Won't say it's always been easy, but I live my life on my own terms.

Today I'm thinking of those who face challenges for being who they are. And fighting for a better world. 🏳️‍🌈💙🏳️‍⚧️

Hadih! I'm Jay, and I'm an LGBTQ+ Wet'suwet'en artist who makes formline art! Here I share my artwork as well as hyperfixation ramblings and other stuff that catches my fancy! Hope you enjoy your stay!~

A print illustration with a limited green, cream, and dark blue palette. The poster is divided into six rectangular sections. The top left shows a formline design of a raven in flight. The top right shows an illustration of Hornby Island Azhdarchids. The middle left shows a cliff overlooking the ocean, with bird-like silhouettes flying above. The middle right shows a shoreline of the ocean, with bird-like tracks in the sand. The bottom left shows an illustration of a raven. The bottom right shows a formline illustration of a Hornby Island Azhdarchid in flight.

A formline design where the base shape is the mask of Hornet from Hollow Knight. Inside the mask is the formline designs- the torso of a spider across the lower face area, clutching an egg with infection droplets trailing down beneath the eyes. On the mask's left horn is a butterfly trailing upwards, with a chrysalis at the tip. On the mask's right horn is a hornet trailing upwards, with a larvae at the tip. The mask is off-white/pale yellow, and the formline designs range in shades from a light orange at the bottom, to a pale to dark salmon in the middle, to a bright red at the top.

A formline design of a hyena. The hyena is walking, with one back leg and one front leg raised, and it's back is arched forward, with a mane on it. It's head is tilted downward. The whole piece is coloured a near black with maroon and yellow-orange highlights, and the background is a solid bright orange.

A formline Illustration of a blue Glaucus with a circle design behind it. The design is backlit with stars and coloured in shades of dark blue to light teal.

It's really kind of great.

@yarntheory.bsky.social is one of the writers I keep expecting to be a Hugo finalist.

Joshua Justice // Ghost Tropic @ghosttropic.org · 15d

This collection of interconnected short stories by @yarntheory.bsky.social is nominated for the Ursula K. Le Guin prize (for good reason). The final story is easily my favorite. Highly recommended!

Hand holding a book by Ursula Whitcher called North Contient Ribbon. The cover depicts a sprawling green landscape with an elevated railway leading to a tower. There’s a lake next to it and some white birds. In the bottom center is someone in a green cloak with their back turned.
