right! I have to put a description here don't I?
I'm a queer trans artist on the autistic spectrum that deals with depression and anxiety. I used to be a librarian, might again one day. I curse if you don't like it fuck off.

just in case someone is curious i use the phrase "oh gods" because 1) i'm a huge fan of percy jackson series, but 2) i choose to follow the greek gods. athena is my mother, lady artemis is my aunt, etc.
OREGON if you want a big buddy I have great news for you
There are currently TWENTY THREE Great Pyr mixes at the Oregon Humane Society available for adoption, rescued from a huge neglect case out in Polk County. If you’ve ever wanted a LORG fren for your family, you can’t do much better than Pyrs.

Family cookbooks, filled with handwritten notes, sometimes held together with rubber bands, tell the story of generations of homemakers. They are irreplaceable treasures.

Decent documentary on Tubi. When We Went Mad, a long look at Mad. A fairly shallow doc, basically for people who don’t know the history. But fun interview footage of Gaines, Mecklin, Feldstein, Kurtzman etc.

Hey, if you used to have Harry Potter soundtrack music on your holiday playlist because it fits that vibe so well, but now it makes you feel mighty icky, might I suggest grabbing some tracks from Williams' similar soundtrack for HOOK, especially "The Never-Feast"?

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.
🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

I post a new version of this every other year or so, and every year comic book page rates stay the same. Five years ago, people were getting paid $240 in '25 dollars; today they are getting the same $150 a page.
The one about comic book page rates – again. News flash: Comic book page rates are STILL stagnant, after all these years, and for indie cartoonists it's even harder

You wouldn't know this if you lived in the UK because it's not the government's preferred outcome. 😒
A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... & of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Trans care saves lives.
