“40% of trans ppl are underemployed, and those who manage to find full-time work face discrimination in earnings. HRC estimated that trans men earn 70 cents for every dollar made by cisgender LGB individuals, trans women 60 cents.”

DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD. instead ask: is it SINCERE, is it CATHARTIC, was it FUN TO MAKE, is it MADE BY ME, and don’t forget to stay silly

Frame 2: The bus comes, it's wrapped in an ad that also says "STOP HIRING HUMANS." The artist has a blank look. 
Frame 3: A plane has now arrived above the bus and the human. It's carrying an ad banner that also says "STOP HIRING HUMANS".

Repeat after me: the more you feel the need for media to explicitly tell you who's good and who's the villain, how to behave and how to love, the more you expect it to give you answers instead of making you think and ask questions, the more vulnerable you are to all kinds of propaganda.
