the funny thing about this is folks get RILED UP sayin things like 'if this is true then a painter would be a painter if they never picked up a brush' or 'an actor would be an actor if they never had a role'. YES that is the point. in art the empty space also has meaning. NOT doing also has a shape
one of my most controversial art opinions, but i do not think you need to finish a book to be an author. lots of talk on 'WHEN do you become a REAL writer? 10000 words? 1000 word?' personally i think it takes ZERO words to be a valid writer. john cage would still be a musician if he only wrote 4'33
But I haven't finished a book yet, Chuck

Last post for the night: The Girl of Wonder, a card based on @rerollhq.bsky.social 's Lake Wonder and *specifically* Tiff Sheridan, local Guardian & hot mess. There are a lot of intentional design elements meant to evoke her usual stars, her green/black & space motifs—but also! The Lake Wonder logo!

Also multimedia/collage work; this was based around a Darkened States character that was mentioned, but never properly introduced. Her name is Lily Wildcard. I was writing fiction about that crazy, scrappy scientist at some point; maybe I'll share it someday.

One of the first cards in my set of handmade ones (both tarot and not), based on Randall from Darkened States. I keep forgetting to make his counterpart card (The Girl Knight). He can be on his own for a bit, though.

A standard response to anti-doomer views is "ok give me all your money so i can have surgery" and I regret to inform you all that there's no surgery to remove your deep-set misconception that cis women are a different species.
Full offense, every time the "trans women can't trust any cis women" discourse flares up I'm harshly reminded that a lot of you think transfeminism is primarily a vehicle to build theoretical foundations that justify being an NLOG

よそ3〜8世紀頃に分岐という学説が、世界では定説です。
It is the established view worldwide that Japanese and the Ryukyuan languages diverged from a parent language around the 3rd to 8th centuries.

This is essential for folks to understand. The Japanese government has spent a century denigrating the Ryukyuan languages, labeling them as mere dialects.
But the Ryukyuan languages were our native tongues for over a thousand years before the Japanese government colonized our islands.

Apparently not, LOL.
Can you make amends? If it was all in your head, should you? If you have proof it wasn't, you're supposed to-- but what if you can't?
I'm still me. I can't escape that.
I'm not meant to. Maybe there's hope in that. There's hope in being functional, too. That's all I can hope for.

if someone wants to come take this this fuckass ocd off my hands that would be much appreciated. unfortunately it comes with an encyclopedic memory of not only tumblr discourse, but second-wave feminist scold-pieces, gay liberation zines that made me feel bad, and colonial-era arguments that sucked

remember how politicians and journos just lied and lied and lied about trans healthcare and created the space for doubt by talking constantly about the need for clarity as if the science weren’t settled already
The science on Tylenol and autism isn't clear, despite President Trump's claims. Here's what parents need to know to make their own decisions about acetaminophen.
When it comes to Tylenol, what are parents to do?

I know people malign Utah, but you have to remember: people live here. People are affected by policies we didn't even vote for. This instinct to look at a red state and act like everyone there asked for the oppression they're under is a little gross, actually.

When I first moved to UT, Ogden was THE city I wanted to go to. Pianos on the streets, train and art museums, WSU, horse statues, and an incredibly religiously, racially, and politically diverse pop., esp. for UT. That was a huge factor in me moving there for a bit. Ogden deserves better.
Are there any Dems in Utah who can stand up for the good folks in Ogden ? Their town could soon face their own Great Recession

I have a bunch of photos I never used for my official minimalism project, which sucks because I really did like the way a lot of them turned out. I could probably repurpose them, but I also just... never showed them to anybody.
