Saving this one forever

Everyone go take a read of this amazingly well written article by @willofwands.bsky.social featuring yours truly

William Elisabeth Cuthbert @willofwands.bsky.social · Jun 12

Why still so quiet on the toilet controversy
@downloadfest.bsky.social? Trans+ people who support your festival deserve more than a vague apology.

How about starting the weekend with an end to your silence? Speak up for our freedom and safety, and against the EHRC's 'guidance' to segregate us.

Download must take responsibility for its apparent transphobia

The festival's silence sounds an awful lot like compliance

I find it fascinating it's been starting to get like... some kind of reclamation renaissance by saying things are 'serving cunt' as a term of endearment

Honestly it's funny, my libido dropped to begin with, but over the past year or so? I guess switching to injections was good for me cuz hhhhhhhhhhh

Sudden thought: Do I have some underlying intersex traits or something?

I really wasn't all that horny as a teenager and idk if it was just the demi or what?

Way hornier on estrogen though djkashfkdlajsgfh

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

Hold on, is the claim here that calling someone 'far right' is basically a slur now?

Parody Keir Starmer @parodypm.bsky.social · 4d

And by "calls" they mean their own Reform propaganda channel and a few snowflakes that demand free speech, but only for right wing gobshites.

Stop giving a fuck what people think or say about you. If people don't treat you right, whether that's friend or family, be prepared to drop them.

Don't let others drag you down. As morbid as it seems, people are replaceable.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

Convention spaces. Pop ups.

xbox odyssey tour, us (november, 2001) 'two 53-foot semi's pull into your town, setting up a humongous inflated dome. you enter the dome to the sound of cool tunes cranking. you see 52 game stations, a dj stand, overhead video screens for game play, and a vip lounge.' web.archive.org/web/20011102...

an massive inflated dome with an xbox branded entrance.

the dark inside of the doom with xbox kiosks setup in various places, a large xbox screen high up.

a closer view of the xbox kiosks (a row of at least 4 of them), each with a large screen and xboxes set-up below.

For my fellow artists; if you have the option, I really do recommend keeping a traditional sketchbook, including if you mainly work digitally. Having a physical book to draw whatever the Hell you feel like in is really good for your relationship with your art

I dont "NETWORK", I do not "keep a consistent schedule", I don't try to make my art "stand out" on people's feeds. I POST MY ART. And if it flops, I DON'T CARE.

Oh damn... What's the ballpark to commission you for one? It'll be a while before I have the money, but would like to keep this in mind for when I'm able!

I dont think it's intended to be used as one, but you definitely can squish the boy
