So does coming out (🏳️‍⚧️) ever get easier or is it always going to feel like I'm kicking a puppy and/or morphing into an unrecognisable monster in the eyes of my family

So now that Trump has banned trans people from participating in sports and trans teens from getting transition-related care, all of the "but we just have some concerns" people will surely come out strong in opposition to additional attacks on trans rights, yes? No? Ah well, nevertheless.

With all that mental gymnastics you'd think he'd be in better shape
"We will not allow men to beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls,"

said Donald Trump, about trans and nonbinary athletes. Diabolical.

Outside of my usual style but a friend commissioned this floral set and I'm quite pleased with the stout little teapot 🤭

“nobody saw this coming” = “we considered everyone who saw this coming a nobody”
"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.

I understand that the language in some ways makes the field, but man, it's not hard to see why people struggle to engage with philosophical writing, feminist theory etc. Funnily enough, people don't like feeling stupid - it's hard not to check out a couple of paragraphs in

Okay - so the exaggerated porcelain macrophage may have been a bit ambitious. Something, something, defying gravity...

As a 20yo artist (ie some random kid) there is no better feeling than being taken seriously by + being able to bounce ideas off more experienced creatives, craftspeople etc. So much of my (admittedly still basic) knowledge + skillset has been delivered gruffly over a cup of tea + I'm hugely grateful

Making art makes me feel better.

But to make art I have to feel better.

What is this nonsense.

I was immensely proud of this one until it cracked at almost every point of tension in its second firing. Maybe a little ambitious. But I love this "neuron" design so much - back to the drawing board I guess.

“Will pay any amount.”

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

the whole purpose of the moral panic about bathrooms is to enforce gender conformity on cis women.

I’ve posted about this before but I’ve talked to multiple cis women who’ve had this happen.
A cis Black woman was chased out of the women’s bathroom of the RUSD meeting in Riverside last Thursday for being a “transgender in the wrong bathroom” in case you hadn’t heard.

In case it was unclear where this was going all along.

It depresses me to see trans folk begging for solidarity from cis people. Begging the left not to abandon us, begging BSky not to let us be harassed, begging politicians not to be cruel. It's not coming. It's never coming. Solidarity does not flow downhill and we are very far down the hill.
