This was NOT my original stance. They are genuinely fucked in the head, all of them, if they think shoving a non-binary mixed indigenous femme under the bus was smart for their career? and now I HAVE to tell the story of them fucking me over I guess

The first photo in my feed is hilarious (run it IDC😂) but for context here's what I looked like in the middle of his messing with me then stringing me along A fantasy portrait a few years later that got some nice coverage on io9, early steampunks might remember these An ok photo of me now

2007 I think. goth girl in bad apartment lighting in wearing fake dreads, aviator goggles, a leather collar, a vest from hot topic that I still have if anyone wants to help me auction it off for charity or something, arm things that are just sleeves piled with medical restaurants dyed black that I bought from a punk kid in Detroit that I think still makes wearables idk, bunch of belts, long skirt, and the naive belief that getting the most laid made me king of the dudes 😂🤷 psyops are like that

Wall, lady, gasmask, skirt handmade for me by a friend worn like a neck ruff

Lex machina was my artist name, on message boards before that it was dollip0p with a last zero and before that it was batwinged.com

Mixed native person with medium length hair, wearing oversized orange sunglasses, feather earrings, a gold leather coat and a smile

Behind me is the BBQ @ a magical place you're only invited if you like blues and the MC5

Do y'all remember when every other movie poster and book cover used this double exposure of trees technique? I still love it

Double exposure of an row of old telephone poles and a stand of forest

Both taken by me in state parks or natural areas of Michigan

I've made at least 20 of this exact same image pair over the years with different cameras and software and in different places

The biggest conn capitalism ever pulled was convincing us that working 40 hours a week and still worrying about the electricity bill is normal. We have the technology, productivity and wealth. Being exhausted and broke isn't a technological problem. It's a distribution problem.

This should be getting FAR more attention. An American oil company with ties to Trump’s orbit is moving forward with plans to drill for oil in Greenland. Some drilling-related equipment has already been brought ashore even though Greenland says the necessary approvals have NOT been granted.

Just FYI, FEMA is unlikely to prioritize Indigenous people _ever_ so it's always worth looking for ways to send $ to tribal folks. Start with the tribal websites Pyramid Lake: plpt.nsn.us Reno: www.rsic.org Send money, they know how they need to use it better than you do.

Pushing up daisies is the funniest way to describe the dead

Vaguely Daisy flower shaped combination of shapes in blues on a pink and yellow background

It's actually a sphere of hexagons stretched out by the program to appear as petals and took some work to get the proportions to look instantly like a flower at first glance

Are they trying to push the moon back into another gravitational pull? If they're just creating craters, it's graffiti/hiding evidence where it can't be found, or they're trying to play space billiards for reasons I don't want to understand if that's true

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Outstanding resource for digital artists They all include a highlight tone as well. The coffee cup meme it's based on has been infinitely useful to me in reminding people that Indigenous people are every color and that you *can't* tell someone's race from their skin color, you can only ever guess
