Share your couples art!

Here’s all my Halloween couples together 👻🧛🏻‍♀️🧙‍♀️

An illustration of two lesbian ghosts dancing. The left hand ghost wears a 1760s silk sack gown, the right hand wears an early 1500s style gown with puffed sleeves and a short cape with feathered beret. They are both blue and translucent.

They are in a heavily wooded and overgrown graveyard, a lone candle burning with a blue flame sits on top of a slab grave beneath them.

The illustrated border shows as follows: On top, clasping carved stone hands emerging from yew branches with berries. To the sides: tin lanterns with candles burning, carved stone hourglasses & carved stone broken columns. Beneath: Vaults based upon the Circle of Lebanon at Highgate Cemetery flanked by trees.

An illustration of two lesbian vampires in a crypt dancing the Volta, as the butch lifts the femme in the air. The butch on the left has grey skin, red eyes & pointed ears. Her hair black with a couple of white streaks. She wears red masculine Elizabethan era clothing, with black and gold accents & white ruffles on the neck and wrists with bat wings sprouting from her back. The femme is in a white ragged Elizabethan gown with red jewel accents and her hair is silver-grey. The decorative border contains a bat up top, a red chequered pattern, coffins with heart motifs, writhing rats with tangled tails & an overspilling blood chalice at the bottom.

Two lesbians in faux-Elizabethan dress waltz in front of a crescent moon & starlit sky. Next to them is a gnarled tree with candles on & there are mushrooms at their feet. The figure leading dons a witch hat & red cape while the other has bat wings. The frame is off-white and with black illustrations of jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, skeletons, bats & black cats.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

So you get rid of all the migrants, then what?
You really think the government is gonna magically fix your public services? Your landlord is gonna stop ripping you off? Your boss is gonna pay you a fair wage? You live in capitalism & you're really mad at the people at the bottom?

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Do not watch the HBO series.
Do not buy wizard game (2).

I usually don't judge too much, I get that not everyone is fully in the loop for everything. If you support JKR now, we are done.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Ok so somehow the survey is still open. Maybe the Audience Agency - like a ghost with unfinished business - are waiting for one specific creator to fill it in, and when that is done finally they can rest??

Who is this person? Is it you? Are you the special final one? Please, let them have peace!

You know what I think we should all do? Just start reply to stuff with positive comments.

Dickheads are so quick to comment, how about we tell people they look good? Their art is cool? The event sounds excellent. Whatever. Fucking hell, let’s just be openly nice for once.
