last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out

comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background

comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights

comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

1. In a devastating new Pew Research Survey, only 3 in 10 transgender adults report being accepted by their parents. And only 1 in 10 say they are accepted by their extended family. This is the lowest number ever found in surveys asking similar questions. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I really need you guys to internalize this. Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air. Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

it should go without saying but if you want users to voluntarily tag their art then you need to not threaten to ban them if they do. like, you can either have a well-regulated, easily-filtered art ecosystem or you can ban art you don’t like and see it come oozing back out of every crack and crevice

And remember YOU can take action against Disney; cancel your Hulu, D+, Disney tickets, and if you can, show up in person for protests in front of Disney. Free speech and protest WILL win out over fascism, we won't let these studios and companies live down their capitulations to a would-be dictator.

I can’t nail down two things enough: 1) treat it like a job, don’t overwork yourself if there’s people down the line who are doing the EXACT same thing. 2) this industry is based on TRUST. You trust that the person next to you, behind you and in front of you knows their job.

i'm against the new TOS because no matter how uncomfortable you are with certain subjects, it's very easy to see how bad-faith interpretations of art could be weaponized, especially against marginalized artists, who are more likely to be targeted for harassment #bskycensorship

if my entire argument for banning trans women in sports was that cis men are pretending to be trans women to win against cis women and I tried to make a documentary about it but could not find any cis men willing to do the thing i said cis men do i would simply never show my face in public again

A whole gaggle of conservative bigots made a movie about men who pretend to be trans women just to win at sports. It's called Lady_Ballers (look they're not clever people). It's a work of fiction.
BUT GET THIS:
It's a work of fiction only because they wanted it to be a documentary, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY MEN WILLING TO GO ON HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY JUST TO WIN AT A FUCKING SPORT.

“The premise of Lady Ballers originated as a potential documentary in which men would pretend to be transgender and attempt to integrate women's sports, but The Daily Wire changed the concept to a fictional comedy after failing to find any men who would agree to undergo the necessary requirements for trans women to participate on women's teams.”

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.
