guys please please please consider supporting my friend's kickstarter!! they're writing a kickass graphic novel about children dealing with the aftermath of trauma and parental ethical shit and it's REALLY awesome.......

DID coded too..... sexy..... oooh you want to check this kickstarter out so bad...

THE GUARDIAN'S DILEMMA KICKSTARTER HAS LAUNCHED!!

My DEBUT GRAPHIC NOVEL, The Guardian's Dilemma, is getting published with the Cloudscape Comics Society! Just four hours after launch we've already hit over 600$ of our 3600$ goal! By supporting you'll get a copy of the expanded edition of Guardian's Dilemma, awesome swag, and support an indie nonprofit publishing house!

But what IS The Guardian's Dilemma about?

Zizi of Cleo knows there’s no going back after their starship home is shot down, stranding them on Earth. Placed in the custody of agents operating a top-secret facility for alien life, they have to contend with interrogation, confinement, and worst of all... Meddlesome adults.

Neveth Amalthea Musleath - an alien hailing from the planet Haddal - is placed in charge of most beings from outside our solar system. Zizi is his latest ward; a nut to crack for the citizens of Earth and a living connection to his own homeworld from which he has not heard in some time. The connection is tenuous at best - aliens to Earth, but also to one another.

Neveth serves as jailer, interrogator, and the only possible opportunity for companionship in the oppressive system Zizi finds themself in for the crime of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. In a society that benefits from the captivity of both and demands their compliance, can Amalthea and Zizi reconcile their needs and wants with each other and with humanity? Can one truly care for another when placed in a terrible position that benefits from its prisoners being at odds?

“The Guardian’s Dilemma” is a soft science fiction with ethical drama. It touches not only the  themes about trauma but also hope for the future. Together in captivity Zizi and Neveth form an uneasy truce. As the ethics of their containment bears down on them, their distrust begins to shift to feelings of refuge, the familial, and freedom from their respective sorrows begins to look more and more possible.

hi trans people in my phone. The life expectancy of trans people is not 35. That is the average age of Brazilian transmisogyny affected murder victims, taken from crime data from the early 2010s. Brazilian trans women also usually live longer than 35 years; this data comes solely from the subset of trans women who are murdered, and does not account for the majority of Brazilian trans women. Murder victim age averages are not a good proxy for overall life expectancy even of the same demographic group. Take a deep breath. You have a future. Start planning for it.

chatgpt is the coward's way out. if you have a paper due in 40 minutes you should be chugging six energy drinks, blasting frantic circus music so loud you shatter an eardrum, and typing the most dogshit essay mankind has ever seen with your own carpel tunnel laden hands

the nature of being did is such that every couple of months i get the irresistable urge to check out how other systems are doing. and i join servers and social media groups to look into the world of others like me.

sometimes this is a mistake. most of the time this is a mistake. and yet.......my hubris..............

[candyrain-collective]

check it

yeah...thats right bay bee!!! i'm restarting the plurality-resources website, except this time im renaming it to dissociative-resources because it more accurately describes the content of the website imo.

for those who haven't been introduced before - dissociative-resources is a website i made to give information on - well, dissociation and complex dissociative disorders! im hoping to add more content to the site as time goes on.

if you're interested in being a collaborator or a guest writer, hit me up! im always looking for more to put up on the site, whether it's research-based content or community-based content.

hope this helps someone out there.

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

certain kind of tragedy i think in still following your childhood best friends online. like once upon a time you knew me better than anyone. i thought we would be friends forever. now we are Adults and Different and even despite that I so badly wish we could still Talk like we were 13. i dont know who you are. I miss you.

being abused or neglected really makes it clear how many things are skills that nobody really treats as. skills. exercising autonomy is a skill. listening to your body is a skill. resting is a skill. being liked and being loved are skills. nobody tells you how to do this shit because nobody even told me I was supposed to have learnt these things when I was a kid. I kind of just have to manually figure out what makes me freak out and work from there. unfair as shit

Coming up on January 29th is the Lunar New Year. This year will be the Year of the Snake and we wanted to make a new print to hand out to visitors when they stop by our museum. This linocut was recently engraved by a colleague who works with Jared and he thought he’d see how letterpress printing it would turn out. The print is of a snake. The text above reads, “Year of the Snake” and was typeset in 24 point Caslon font.

This was printed using a 4x6 Golding Official No. 2 tabletop printing press. Ninety prints were printed on this press run using red oil base ink. Stop by and get this print (while prints last) or make your own snake print at our Lunar New Year event happening at the Sacramento History Museum on February 1st from 10am to 1pm!
