My city, Chicago, is currently under invasion from masked, armed state-sanctioned thugs kidnapping people who seem usually to be entirely innocent-- sometimes, it feels like, at random.

A day in the life. This is a mile from me.

Them: You don't look autistic

Me: You don't see it because my autism mostly affects me. I've spent most of my life painstakingly minimizing the impact it has on others... so now it has no effect on you at all, but my life is indescribably more difficult and exhausting

Lol yeah this too, a lot of people treat diversity and 'rep' as checkboxes. You must have 5 white characters 2 Asians 1 Black one or it's not 'diverse', also you better have 10 gay men 1 bisexual woman in a relationship with a cis man and 0 lesbians. bsky.app/profile/drag...

Vaela, polyamory enjoyer — put love first, unionise now! @dragonprose.bsky.social · 16h

Yeah, honestly. Not to mention how often it boils over into "Hey, you need to center every marginalised group. Even the ones that hate you. For rep."

At this point, I'd much rather think of it as centering lesbians, trans lesbians and people of colour in our stories, rather than "representing" them

Learning that Season 1 Demogorgon went from a man in costume that was 10 ft tall to turning into a tennis ball on a stick has made me really angry.

Bringing back this piece for spooky month ⚰️💮🎀

Stained Glass Illustration. In the center, a girl in a modern gothic dress stands on one leg and has one arm stretched outward as if casting a spell or reaching for something. Behind her are a man and a woman. The woman is praying and the man holds a rapier in the air. The girl in the center is standing on a book that also doubles as a music box.

A drawing of Mimikyu with alcohol markers. Drawn by me. A ghost pokemon that has the shape and color of Pikachu on it to disguise itself. Floppy ears with different patches on it.

Jax from Amazing Digital Circus. Arms folded, he is a tall cartoon purple rabbit with pink overalls. He looks down and away, being mad over something. Drawing made with ink and markers. Made by me.

Apparently he’s a bunch of different foxes. But I think the parts that stand out the most are his back left hind leg and his right ear. Maybe he has some patches all over. We’re not sure.

Painting with POSCA markers. Painting of Scraggy and Darumaka. Two Pokemon from Gen 5. Scraggy is suppose is a round headed big eyed gecko type. Darumaka is a fire type with big yellow swirled eyebrows, sleeping eyes, and is in Sleep Mode! He is red, yellow and orange.

Two paintings made by me with POSCA markers. Shinx is a blue lion, yellow eyed Pokémon, and is an electric type. Driffloon is a ghost type that is usually purple and yellow, but the shiny kind is yellow and turquoise. Both are brightly colored.

My collection of Pokemon paintings. Canvas used was mostly cardboard, all but one are made with POSCA markers. Some of the paintings seen here are showing; Shinx, Scraggy, Spiritump, Appletun, partial Golbat and Crobat wings, Charizard.

Unfinished painting of a shiny driftbloom. Blue background. Driftblim is using an attack at an unknown Pokemon. The Driftblim is also yellow, turquoise but has green and beige coloring.
