if being blocked by other people bothers you i recommend just drawing huge boobs and posting them online cause then if you see you are blocked you can just go "ah, they must not have liked the huge boobs" and move on without having to think about it again

If you do creative work, maintain an online portfolio. Ensure that the portfolio reflects your best and the kind of work you would like to do. Make sure your portfolio can be easily shared via link. If you come across a callout, drop a brief message giving context and said link. That's it.

A great many white readers in 1967 were not ready to accept a brown-skinned hero. But they weren’t expecting one. I didn’t make an issue of it, and you have to be well into the book before you realize that Ged, like most of the characters, isn’t white.

Anyway I don't want to be accused of starting drama. I don't want to be assaulted, and I don't want to be a problem! So I leave and the men assume I'm tired or dull or maybe they don't care bc without me, they don't have to confront the creeps, they can claim ignorance and buy the bar another round.

It happens so often it can be hard to even see. Men having the same experience I am, but I hit a place where the attention becomes unpleasant. Inuendos start. I have to wiggle out of something I did not start (cautiously! trying not to upset any dangerous egos!) so I leave, while the men get to stay

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

The weird, reflexive defensiveness that happens when it feels as if you're being called out. Even when they're not specifically talking about you but more how the identity that you fall into is often weaponised.

The raw visceral hatred some men have for women, at least women who step out of line, is shocking. I know it sounds like some sorta "one of the good ones" ploy but I am genuinely taken aback when I see it because I think: I had a fairly normal socialisation as a man in the west, how did I miss this?

🤖: Ha! It’s over for you artists!!! AI is gonna replace you!! 🤖: Why is no one hiring me to do AI designs for them? Who’s gonna tell ‘em? 👀 If a company wants AI they’ll use AI and they most certainly aren’t gonna hire a whole-ass person to do it for them. Congrats, y’all just played yourselves.

Threads post reads:
I keep seeing job posts looking for designers with one very specific requirement:
NO Al.
And honestly, I find this attitude fascinating. It sounds to me a little like saying:
Photographers: no Photoshop.
Artists: no drawing tablets.
Accountants: no Excel.
Filmmakers: no editing software.
At some point, we stopped calling these things
"cheating" and started calling them tools. Al is a tool too. A very powerful one, sure.

Prepare yourself for the greatest grave inscription you'll ever see.

A photo of a metal plaque on a gravestone in Shetland, which replicates the text carved into the stone but eroded by the elements. It reads:

DONALD ROBERTSON, born 14th January 1785. died 4th June 1843 aged 63 years

He was a peaceable, quiet man and to all appearance a sincere Christian.

His death was much regretted which was caused by the stupidity of Laurence Tulloch in Clothister (Sullom) who sold him nitre instead of Epsom salts by which he was killed in the space of 5 hours after taking a dose of it.
