Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

Art by San | @santhewitch.quest (https://bsky.app/profile/santhewitch.quest)
An event graphic depicting Coartoonist Cooperative mascots, Nibfort (a dip pen) and Inkling (ink well) dressed as hackers from old-school movies. Nibford is wearing small round sunglasses and a long black trench coat, and has propped an old-school-looking keyboard on their shoulder. The hand they are typing with is wearing a glove with some gadgets. Inkling is seated at a desk in front of a CRT monitor. They are typing something. They are dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, and they are wearing sunglasses. Next to them is a scale with a banana on top. Art style is black and white. The illustration is referencing Hackerman from Kung Fury, Cereal Killer from Hackers, Job from Banshee and Neo from Matrix.

It’s important that people: 1. Don’t let them bury their lies about Renee. Make them own that forever. 2. Focus on the administration’s lies about Alex, even if they aren’t being said by Vance and Trump.

There's hardly a parish boneyard in England without gossip of phantoms. Hauntings refuse to politely stop at porch thresholds, are not deterred by solid stone walls. The Holy Ghost is not the only spectre resident in English churches. They are spirit crowded. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

For the witch, there are times when the river becomes a fluid scrying, a constant flow of omens. It's tutelary spirit whispers wisdom in her ears, its magics ripple across her psychic skin. She becomes one with its shaping song. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

If you actually have a reasonable budget to hire an artist for your project, TELL THEM IN YOUR INITIAL EMAIL TO THEM. Right off the bat. Here is the project, this is what I can pay, this is the deadline. We get so many time wasters it’s remarkably refreshing when a potential client is upfront

"LET HIM SPEAK!" 9" x 12" ink and watercolor on watercolor paper.
Somewhere, in the Deep reaches of space, an assembly has gathered on a space station. During a heated discussion on the design and capabilities of mecha, Isamu Kurogane (Lance) stands tall and dares to speak the truth. "Every Gundam is worse than Voltron because his hands are lion mouths!!!" he declares without shame. His bravado has impressed the Red Comet, Char Aznable, while confusing and insulting Amuro Ray. The delaration is heard to mixed reactions by many other mecha pilots (not by Shinji Ikari, he is doing his best to ignore him).

Look at the England women’s rugby team: the heaviest player is 50kg heavier than the lightest. If you’re fine with them colliding on the field, but object to a smaller trans woman playing… your concern isn’t about safety or fairness. It’s transphobia, plain and simple. [5/9]

Here’s a scroll of the things Charlie Kirk said
Charlie kirk said the following, most of this is paraphrased:
-gay people should be stoned to death
-most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying their plane
-the guy who assaulted Pelosi should be bailed out
-anti-vaccination shit
-MLK was an awful person 
-gun deaths are acceptable in order to have a 2nd amendment
-George Floyd deserved what he got, January 6th protestors didn’t
-Muslims only come to America to destabilize western civilization
-Palestine “doesn’t exist” and those who support it are like the KKK

The witch walks green ways. The witch walks wild ways. She navigates by tree-whispered mysteries and seeks to become entangled in the promise of the wood's magics. Every path she takes becomes a conversation with the land itself. Her relationships are her power. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

No amount of marketing advice or hustle culture bullshit about monetizing followers will fix the structural problems that make freelance art careers so difficult. Maybe spend more time asking why people can’t/don’t want to pay us? Why society can’t support us?

To add to today's art discourse, I work a full time public sector job because there is no way I can make enough from my art to pay my mortgage and bills. It's actually comforting to hear other artists say similar - it's easy to feel like a failure if you can't do art full time.

Harvey Milk was shot dead by a political opponent who was opposed to him being the first openly gay man to be elected to office in California, and who cast the sole vote against Milk's bill against discrimination based on sexual orientation. This is utterly, utterly heinous.
