A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

put this in my book and it made some folks MAD mad but others lmk it was how they learned about this, so, worth it

"Preston, I was joking."
"Oh." He gave her a deeply uncomfortable look. "The thing is—I'm autistic. Winning people over-" He drummed one hand against his thigh. "It's a statistically proven fact that autistics are judged unlikable by neurotypicals." Her mouth fell open, and he rushed on as if she was going to interrupt again. "But it doesn't matter, because I'm good at my job, and it's important to me. Did you know the therapies used to force autistic kids to act in ways seen as normal have the same origins as the conversion therapy that tries to force kids not to be queer? Some people want to erase us all. The clubs and books for every kid, showing every kid-dis-abled too-they say we exist. That it's okay that we do. As we are." He directed his entire intense gaze at her, piercing and earnest even through his glasses. "That's life chan-ging. Life saving for some kids."

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

Getting up requires effort .-.

A two panel comic featuring an anthropomorphic wolf and cat.
Panel 1: The wolf is looking down at something on the ground. He asks "You okay, dude?"
Panel 2: It cuts to see the cat laying on their back looking up tired, hands over their abdomen. The wolf's feet are there, indicating he's standing beside the cat. The cat says "I've fallen... and I don't WANT to get up..."

I remembered it being worded differently but you pretty much had it nail on head

Tumblr post: the point of art is not to be great but to make it transparently obvious that there is something wrong with you

Reply: the point of art is to let other people know that the thing wrong with them is also wrong with you

A Garfield comic strip.

In panel 1, Garfield sees his wall calendar from his bed and, with a startled expression, exclaims "Oh, no!"

In panel 2, he hides under his blanket and says, "I am definitely not getting out of bed today."

In panel 3, still in the same position, Garfield adds, "Not on Monday the 13th."

Reminder that one of Autism Speaks' predecessors was named Cure Autism Now

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 2d

Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 2d

ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.

If you go down to the woods today...you might spot our stunning pine marten statue 🐾.

This fantastic piece of art is a celebration of our successful pine marten reintroduction in the Forest of Dean.

It can be found in the Forest of Dean, along a walking trail near Coleford.

Have you seen it yet?
