This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via Al video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people."

This includes BIRTH CONTROL, by the way. As well as a shitload of mood stabilizers. Do NOT eat "spooky" black foods and snacks. Just don't.

Friends, Spooky season is upon us.

Remember... foods dyed black with charcoal can interfere with medications. Don't eat them if you have an Rx

It's #BreastCancer Awareness Month now, so I'm reposting this to say: don't forget to touch your breasts and take care of your health. You only have the one.

What's interesting is that I was diagnosed with cancer in October, when there were pink ribbons and posters everywhere :D

On a journey toward a beautiful body, assess the risks realistically and be prepared for nature to respond.
I've always really wanted to like myself, so I spent many years on diets. In doing so, I damaged my health and got cancer.

The only reason I'm not a nsfw artist is because I'm a coward and I don't publish my stuff, but I wanna say LET P0RN ARTISTS BE FREAKS IN PEACE!

Wanting art to be "sanitized" is, and always will be, fascism. Today they come for them, tomorrow they come FOR YOU.
