any statement like ‘Gen z have no literacy/cannot write/spell/communicate’ that is not also coupled with ‘their means of learning has been eradicated by tech fascism and government removal of funding’ is not worth listening to or boosting. the kids are living under the regime we allowed

Trying to pull myself out of yet another drawing rut before it gets too bad. Kinda feeling the itch for analog drawing so we're gonna see if getting some new art supplies will do the trick. (It works sometimes, you never know.) Bought a box of Blackwing mattes and I gotta say, it's a nice pencil.
Photo of a sketchbook showing a contour line drawing of a young woman in a dress. The figure is shaded in a bright orange gradient from the feet up. The pencils used to make the drawing are next to the sketchbook.

Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
A digital illustration showing a knight in full armour. They are riding on a black steed which is mostly out of frame. The frame in question is green and shows a chain going around as a decorative element. That chain is broken by the knight's raised sword. From the knight's chest bursts a roaring flame in the colours of the trans pride flag.

I saw the TADC pilot back when people first started talking about it years ago, thought it was kinda dumb and moved on. now that all my online friends are obsessed, I went back to rewatch it like, what did I miss? turns out I hadn't seen the pilot 3 years ago, I had watched a TADC youtube poop 😅

The Knife's 'Silent Shout' Turns 20
The voice doesn’t sound human. It doesn’t sound like one voice, either. It’s a distorted monotone chant that comes through in several registers at once. It’s a high-pitched whisper and a baritone rumb...

It was peak.
But the more I watch the newer crop of shows, the clearer it becomes that they keep mistaking volatility for romance, manufacturing blowups with only marginally amusing payoffs. And yet, even at their most chaotic or earnest, none of them has yet to come close to topping Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City's infamous omurice incident. A TV moment that still occupies real estate in my frontal lobe.

So the season 2 finale of Ranma aired the other day and they added a line to make Akane pansexual, or at the very least, Ran-sexual
Screenshot from Ranma 1/2 
Ranma, pulling at her wet shirt: Well, guess it's fine if I’m like this today.Akane: It is. I really don't mind how you look.

Ranma: Hmm?Akane: It doesn't matter to me if you look like a boy or a girl.Ranma shocked face reaction

Yet more fanart for @badambulist.bsky.social 's The Sisters of Dorley. I love all these early scenes with Christine sneaking around in the basement; she fucked up so bad! Whoops!
Illustration of a red-headed person in a smock talking with a girl sitting on the other side of a thick glass door. The girl is nervously fidgeting with her fingers. "Are you a trans woman?" "No. Sort of. Not really. It's complicated."

Drawing of a boy, lost in thought, sitting in a darkened conservatory, surrounded by plants. His name tag reads "Aaron". A female figure stands in the open doorway behind him. The caption reads "I'd like to be someone else, if that's okay?"
