You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

Watching The Nightmare Before Christmas (for the 112'th time X) ) and thinking how I would love to see in the scene where Jack is doing his sandy-claws act a family full of hard-core goths that are just THRILLED that "Santa" finally brought them a bunch of freaky shit. That would have been fun X)

Test prints for the first two birds!
I decided to print them in A6, add their latin names, and give them a vintage look by adding a pale brownish background!
Coming soon!

#SmallBusiness #Birds #BirdSky #Art #Illustration

Picture of 4 prints of 2 different bird drawings: two back-striped woodcreepers on a loose piece of mossy stump; and two Bornean Leafbirds on a thin loose branch. Their Latin names as well as the person who named them and the date are written on the paper.

the fact that “having children” is the norm has caused a lot of harm. Not having children should be the norm, and then you only get them if you really want them

The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

Yes, it's impossible to therapy away social problems

but when society targets people, placing them under increased stress, they do need tools to help them survive and cope and reduce harm

and this is a good starting list

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.
