This is an introduction thread for my account:

I'm Mara, a queer and disabled artist interested in a lot of things.

Currently I'm focusing on lino prints and rubber stamps.

If you can, I would love some support via ko-fi.com/thecatfreaky.
(I sell art there too)

Long press for my #art

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I never put stickers on anything but letters. Until today.

(I've been wanting to put some on it and I'm very happy I finally did!)

The back side of a PC display. There are a lot of colorful and cute stickers on it. Like animals or flowers.

I’ve learnt that only hyperfocus can keep me from disappointing others. Sometimes.

Two-page comic about ADHD, self-doubt, and burnout.

Panels 1+2
A person with short black hair and yellow antennae recalls lifelong struggles with effort and recognition. As a child, they cry while being scolded over homework. Later, they work hard but still fail small details and receive an “F.” When they finally succeed, they can’t enjoy it—holding a medal labeled “2,” they feel it’s luck, not skill.

Panel 3+4
Page 2:
They explain how productivity fluctuates. A blue graph shows steady effort, while a pink line spikes wildly. They say, “For me, it fluctuates more extremely.” Sitting exhausted at a messy desk, they admit, “I only stop when I’m too tired to go on. The word I learned for all this was ‘lazy.’ I never learned a healthy measure or how to trust myself.”

Macht das nicht mehr mit... Hoffe du machst noch schönere Erfahrungen in dem Bereich. ❤️‍🩹

Mara @thecatfreaky.bsky.social · 15h

Das ist absolut zum Kotzen und klingt nach nem unausstehlichen Menschen.
Tut mir leid, dass du so eine scheiß Erfahrung hattest. Vor allem als Einstieg in DnD.
Könnte ich noch am PC Zeug machen, würde ich sofort nochmal ne Gruppe machen und dich einladen. Vermisse das auch echt, aber mein Kopf

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"

Wrote a 4th year paper in Psych on why Behaviouralism was still relevant in the 21st century (lol) the night before it was due until 1am, and the PHD student marking it said I "taught him things about behaviouralism" which incidentally I entirely made up.

Fuck off AI, you can't hang with us.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.

Was once told my late-submission request for a paper on dinosaur anatomy had been missed, and I could either write to the exam board pleading my case, or hand in by 4pm that day and eat the 5% late penalty. I spent that five hours knowing more about dinosaur anatomy than anyone on earth.

Part of the college experience is feeling like your going to die an hour before an assignment is due and then accidentally writing the best thing your ever written.

I wrote a 20 page paper about the impact of Jules Verne on journalism in the 1890s in about 14 hours pulling a massive all-nighter at my mom’s place before hopping MARTA and turning it in.

Not only did I get an A-, I got an honorable mention award from my department at their end of semester party.

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.
