Scared of gay trans men! I know it's horrible but it did give me a laugh. Reminds of that "jockstrap ceiling" guy on twitter.

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

Of course I support banning noncon art: artists should never be forced to work at gunpoint! Oh, wait. They're trying to ban survivor stories again, aren't they?

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

A thing about me is I will never, ever, ever tell assault survivors it's their fault for not stopping their assault, and this places me at odds with too many gay men who insist that simply removing unwanted hands from your body is a functional consent system.

A simple "no, sorry" would suffice in any context I could think of. It's really insulting to imply you aren't conventionally attractive but frame it in terms of how it negatively affects HIS life. Yike, I'm sorry!

Shibari life drawing

Two vivid marker sketches in a sketchbook. Top: a person in hogtied in suspension bondage. Bottom: two people, one partially suspended by the ankles and held by a person lying underneath them.

I think there's something special about it that never leaves you! There wasn't much cell phone reception, so I was pretty unplugged for most of that time, outside a lot, literally touching grass. In many ways it was great for my mental health, even if my opportunities were a bit limited.

I have slight imposter syndrome over having a BA in art instead of a BFA. But who cares!? So many art school grads get completely burned out and barely create, and here I am still chugging along.

I was afraid I would get lost in a larger community. I thought I didn't have enough direction in my art to make it my Whole Thing. I was probably right on both those counts. But things have a way of coming full circle. I can make art now.

I love living in the city. There's just so much going on. I don't exactly regret spending my early 20s in small town Vermont—it was magical in so many ways—but often I wonder what I was thinking. Why DIDN'T I go to art school in Boston like I was once planning to?

I've made art that's naked, bloody, confessional. I made weird religious references. I illustrated and defaced a real text exchange with someone who sexually assaulted me. I painted my pill bottle collection. And I'm incredibly proud of myself.

When I painted this in 2020 I was still making whimsical, lighthearted art about gardens and cups of tea, because those were the pleasant things in my life. But as I gained skill and got sicker and more traumatized, I've pushed back on the sanitized version of me.

I love drawing screenshots from whatever show I'm watching cause it allows me to fidget with my hands and still keep my attention on the show in some way.

Doodling outfits on last night's Scribble Brigade session, hosted by Sophie McPike

Double-page sketchbook spread featuring 10 marker sketches of people taking mirror selfies in cool outfits, drawn on a warm toned watercolor background. The sketches are labeled with times from 2 to 10 minutes.

That's really cool! I haven't looked into whether getting to Worcester is feasible. Unfortunately probably not ☹️ But it's less the physical aspects of making the zine (I've done that a bunch) and more figuring out how to translate my feelings into art.

Found a new method: write a whole poem about my feelings, delete everything until only one line is left. There's my illustration caption.

That's rad! I got serious at about that age too. I hope I'm still creating at 74!

I have a very strong desire to turn my pain into art/zines, and absolutely no idea how.
