Després de sis+ anys de lluita constant, burocràcia excessiva i menysteniment administratiu... El meu promès té DNI i passaport espanyol!!! Tot i que és motiu de celebració, recordem també com de difícil ha sigut, el privilegi blanc (meu) que ha calgut imposar i tota la gent que ho té més difícil

LOOK at my kit for the late Victorian larp I'm attending in a month and a half The only time I feel hot and confident as a woman is when I get to play an old, mean one (and, in my heart of hearts, I feel like I'm doing a drag performance throughout)
Me, in front of a metal door, wearing a late Victorian getup complete with puffy brown sleeves, a long skirt and a white vest.

Hay 75.000 procesos de desahucio parados por estos decretos. Hay 5 millones de personas que pueden prorrogar sus alquileres. Contra esto es contra lo que van a votar hoy el PP, Vox y Junts. Cada desahucio y cada subida de precio llevará su nombre.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

There's nothing as heart-wrenchingly, disgustingly vile as the feeling of knowing one is doing paperwork incorrectly. There is nothing as quasi-sexually exhilarating as knowing one is doing paperwork correctly. This has nothing to do with my neurodivergence; surely everyone feels like this.

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

i have a normal relationship with spaces and i am not losing my mind over potentially losing the roleplaying/friendmaking space I have been in for years. I am capable of mantaining friends without the crutch of a shared hobby. People will still like me when I'm not serving them as DM. And other lies

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people
