just because transmascs are underreported when it comes to sentiments and actions of violence, abuse and murder, doesn't mean we don't encounter just as fucking much.

fuck you if you think we have it ANY easier. and fuck you if you think you have the right to determine otherwise.

@transnews.network

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Nothin else for it

Two panel comic of a person with glasses looking down at an open book. First panel reads: I think I might be bad at this.

In the second panel they are scribbling in the book with a pencil. Text reads: I’m gonna do it anyway

Shower thoughts: Equality assumes you want what straight people have. Queer people are expected to adhere to norms. I didn’t come here to adhere -and I won’t stay for that either. I’m not one of the “good ones”. #queerart #kinkart #lithography #printmaking

Clothing has no age or gender. Sense of style is personal. No matter if the person is cis or trans, id like it if people just fucked off about peoples appearance.

If folks were less nosy about that crap, the world would just be a better fucking place to begin with.

#telekitneticart #indigenousart If you weren't aware already, this is the unfortunate hand I've been dealt this holiday season: having to job hunt in the winter while a potential recession is on the horizon.

ko-fi.com/telekitnetic...

RBs on this post are really appreciated <3

A drawing of TeleKitnetic's fursona making the shinji chair meme post. The top text reads "I got laid off from my day job", the bottom text simply reads "Bottom text".

"After my final shift for the week last Thursday, my boss pulled me aside and told me I'd been let go (termination without cause) with severance in lieu of a two week notice. That day job paid for all of my rent, plus most of my expenses. The severance I got will cover most of my rent + expenses for one month, but that's it. And it's a very difficult time to be looking for a job right now (my last big job hunt took almost three months for a minimum wage position). My family has offered to lend me a hand for expenses if I need it, and I'm going to be looking into options like EI and art grants to keep me afloat, but other then that, my monthly income is now almost entirely dependent on my artwork. And it's obviously a very difficult time to be trying to make a living as an independent artist right now."

I know it's a pretty rough time (understatement) for a lot of folks right now, but if you're able to give some money to help me out while I'm trying to get through this rut, it'd be greatly appreciated.

1. I have a monthly ko-fi membership (Tip Jar) where you can get occasional private WIP updates for as low as 4$ CAD (about 3$ USD) per month! This is great if you don't have the change for a commission or shop items/shipping but want to pitch in a little bit to me!
2. I have an online shop on the same ko-fi! It has stickers, prints, pins, and keychains of my formline art. US shipping is available and prepaid duties (tariffs, derogatory) are factored into the applicable product shipping cost. Great if you're looking for stocking stuffers this holiday season!
3. I take custom commissions for formline art from time to time! The reason I list this last is because comms take the most physical and mental strain of all these options, and the last thing I want to do is burn myself out when I'm already struggling. If you can't support me financially, that is fine! Reblogging/sharing my posts, shop listings, and art helps more then you think!

Okay I wanna try posting some of my #poetry on here.

#writingcommunity

My China Cabinet

Far away by distance, far away by memory.
It is not long that I forget how it all feels.
The feelings of touch, of smell of presence.

Wherever I go now, I feel estranged in being.
Being in one house, being in the other house.
My brain cannot comprehend the miles apart.

It feels as though I am always travelling.
never does it ever feel like I am settling.
Always looking to the next time I can leave.

I forget what it is like, sometimes, to sit and be.
It was not that long ago, that I was settled. Routine.
But this other house, it disrupted my settlement.

This house disrupted my internal cabinet, my china.
It changed things, I would say, for the better.
But sometimes, it just feels like all the plates will fall.

I have broken quite a bit of china over my lifetime.
Some have even taken it and thrown it on the floor.
Sometimes it feels like they will throw it on the floor.

The people in both houses hold the pieces of china.
The first house, they have been gentle for decades.
This new house, they have been very gentle, too.

I know the people in the new house see the china.
The broken china, all over the floor inside of me.
There are so many pieces, I do not want more.

We look at each other, the black of our eyes.
I let them touch some of my china. Only some.
It feels good to have my china be precious to them.

I let them touch more, but it still feels difficult.
I watch them. With the intent that they will drop it.
I stay vigilant. I cannot afford more broken china.

They ask “Can I touch the broken ones on the floor?”
I shrug. “This stuff is… not good, there is not much.
It is just a big mess and I don’t remember how they fit”

But they, at the other house, started picking them up.
Then, I started picking them up too. I cut myself on the pieces.
The blood would stain the seams of the white china.

Together, in the house and sometimes far away…
We would look at the pieces of porcelain.
Together, they would help me understand how they fit.

“I have a piece that looks a lot like this one in my cabinet”
Somehow, not always perfectly, we glued pieces together
The other, far away house helped me understand.

The china can always be glued back together.
The cups will still hold liquid, the plates will hold, too.
I can fix them as many times as I want.

Accidents will happen, the odd chip and crack.
Far away are the days of violently breaking them.
I need to catch up, to trust it won’t happen again.

They grab one of the glues cups. They like this one.
I look at their cups. “This one is nice, I like it a lot.”
We trade cups, I got back to the other house with it.

I have two houses where I keep my china cabinet.
One house has kept the China safe and I know they will.
The other house… scares me. Fixing cups is scary.

By fixing the china, I learn to love again, bit by bit
I learn to love in new ways, never before known.
I learn to share my precious china once again.

An ink drawing of a shirtless man leaning on a brick wall. He is holding a cigarette in his gloved hand, he is wearing a leather jacket, but it topless underneath it. On his chest, are visible top surgery scars. He is wearing leather pants and leather boots that go almost up to his knees.

I screen printed & assembled the entirety of this by hand; it was extremely laborious. All the paper, plastic was cut by me as well.

I will have a *very* limited run of them for sale this winter 👹
