My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win

Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately

he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks

Even if being trans and autistic were things to “cure”, I love being trans and autistic so fuck you actually.

just a small portion of what people spend on giant corporations like Disney would change the average indie author/artist/musician/etc.'s life

this is why I ask you all to spend money supporting those of us who create outside the system and work to give voice to the things corporate America won't

DenFur overstock is now available in the shop. I have around a dozen paw pendants as well as three ready-to-ship capybaras. Most of the pendants only have one available per color so be sure to grab them fast.

A selection of sculpted paw pendants. There are feline, canine, and dragon paws. They are highly texture with raised paw pads.

The bill also includes a section that takes aim at transgender individuals by prohibiting material "that includes a disconnection between biology and gender by an individual of 1 biological sex imitating, depicting, or representing himself or herself to be of the other biological sex."

Michigan lawmakers are proposing a total porn ban

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" H.B 4938 would prohibit the distribution of "real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory" depictions of sexual acts.

Total porn ban proposed by Michigan lawmakers

Some states have moved to require age verification to ensure only adults are watching porn, but no states have outright banned the viewing of pornographic material.

I have enough fabric to make just 2 of these fun Spooky Parasaur plushies this year. Needing some extra cash at the moment to get a few last minute things for the upcoming show, so would anyone even be interested in one? They would be 1️⃣6️⃣0️⃣ + their ride home. Once gone they're gone!

Digital art - A huge white furby with a long, furry snake-like body towering over a small child. It's smiling and almost glowing in the light. The child is dressed like Atreyu in The Neverending Story. The background is swirling blues and pinks of dawn.

LRP i have personally lived the "oh they're nice in person just mean online" shit and guess what?

Nice until you corrected
Nice until you stood up for the wrong person
Nice until you had a different opinion

Bigots & bullies are never ever "secretly nice" they just approve of you when you "behave"

A little bit of gay yearning.. cuddle under the stars 💖🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #queerart #transartist #gay

A digital painting of two masc figures laying on a blanket on a grassy hill, cuddling close underneath a meteor-filled starry sky. They are gay. The smaller one points to the sky. The blanket is a gay male pride flag and the nebula has those colors too. Handwritten text reads "Such Incredible Skies".

There are two masc people cuddling close. Their cheeks and noses are pinkish as if its a bit chilly. The larger figure is wearing purple and blue. His pants are comfy and purple with thin blue stripes. His t shirt is faded lavender and pink. His hair is fluffy and messy, and is brown mixed with faded green dye. He has tannish skin and brown eyes, a couple facial piercings, and stubble on his face. One arm is bent to rest his head and the other reaches under the smaller figure.
The smaller figure is wearing a pink and blue binder type crop top. Their tum is out, over short shorts that are a mix of orangeish and black. They wear thigh high socks with a trans pride flag colors pattern. One of their arms is tucked under the figures and unseen; the other points to the sky and has a shoulder tattoo of two male symbols intertwined. His hair is longish with the sides shaved, and dyed into a rainbow. He has some light facial hair above his lips, brownish eyes, and some facial piercings.

The blanket they lay on is a gay man pride flag; 7 colors green, teal, seafoam, white, sky blue, navy, purple.

The hill bisects the image diagonally, lower right to upper left. Some other hills with trees are silhouette against the sky farther away. A nebula or galaxy cloud rises in the background, in colors of green, blue green, teal, and navy. A dozen or so meteors in the sky fall more or less from the upper right side of the image to the lower right.

Green handwritten text to the lower left says "Such incredible skies", the dots for each letter "i" is a heart. Drawn by Meganity Art.

These two images used to be my phone lock screen and background, lined up so it was like this animation to open my phone (with the infrared as the lock screen)💖

Two takes on the Eagle Nebula by Hubble and #NASAWebb. Hubble shows dark brown pillars of gas and dust in visible light, while Webb’s infrared view is able to see through the dust to reveal many still-forming stars: https://bit.ly/43ra9N0 🔭 🧪

The paper has helpful diagrams and it's WILD. They clone the other species so they can produce sterile hybrid workers. It's like if a horse could occasionally give birth to a donkey deliberately so they can make mules to serve them while they sit on their... horse throne... as horse queens do.

What appears to be a craggy, starlit mountaintop kissed by wispy clouds is actually a cosmic dust-scape being eaten away by the blistering winds and ultraviolet light of nearby, massive, infant stars. What else did #NASAWebb find in Pismis 24? https://bit.ly/4mr3cmt

A blue and black sky filled with brilliant stars covers the upper two-thirds of the vertical image. The stars are different sizes and shades of white, beige, yellow, and pale orange. Across the bottom third of the scene is a craggy, mountain-like vista of dust and gas with spire-like peaks and deep, misty valleys. The peaks appear in varying shades of orange, yellow, and brown. Above their soaring spires is a wispy, ethereal white cloud that stretches horizontally across the scene. What looks like steam appears to rise from the mountaintops and joins this cloud. At the top right corner, a swath of orange and brown structure cuts diagonally across the sky.

I relate to Nona needing to be in the water so, so much #TheLockedTomb #fanart #NonaTheNinth

A sketchy illustration of an underwater scene from the book Nona the Ninth, of the Locked Tomb series. Nona is floating underwater, two long braids floating around her, her shirt billowing out. She wears cut off shorts. She is swimming as if laying on her stomach, knees bent so her legs are above her head, her arms in front of her. She smiles and reaches towards a pale soft jellyfish. Other similar jellyfish float around her at various distances. The sea floor is sandy with some green, and shadows and caustics. A stream of bubbles flows up from her face. Her yellow eyes gently glow.
Handwritten text in the top middle reads: "Like hearing the door open when you were REALLY lonely".
