hello again (bill clinton limewire voice) my fellow americans

There are a few states that actually have Shield/Refuge laws designed to help trans people fleeing from trans-unsafe states, which also guarantee trans folks access to healthcare. These states are:

California

Colorado

Illinois

Oregon

Vermont

Washington

Minnesota

New Mexico

Maine

Massachusetts

Rhode Island

Connecticut

Washington D.C.

Additionally, some states have "trans sanctuary" executive orders signifying safety for trans folks seeking healthcare. These states are:

Maryland

New Jersey

New York

Living as a resident in these states means you are protected by state's rights and state government to continue or begin receiving trans healthcare. These laws have been codified in their states so everything has been a-ok'd by their state governments.

Stay alive. You got this. I love you.

if evil, why so awesome to draw

If are living in America and are wondering what you can do now please consider contacting The White House and demanding a recount / revote!

Check out the ALCU -> The ACLU is an organization that specifically fights back against harmful laws and bills - they fought trump off RAPIDLY during his first presidency and theyre overall good for keeping track of resources and stuff!

Ensure your vote is counted through Vote Curing!

Sign this Petition : Jane Byson (the maker of petition) ;

"We need a recount and revote for the 2024 election. An investigation needs to be looked into after Trumps sudden rise after all favor was pointed towards Kamala Harris. This isn't superstition when there was proof that she was in the lead. Something is wrong and the people of the US shouldn't suffer for it."

For those who are contemplating suicide or self harm consider contacting these Hotlines! Keep Fighting Please, and to those who have more resources PLEASE add on.

IF YOU LIVE IN THE US, PLEASE READ THIS

Posting this from the bird app since I hope it can help people.

People have been contacting the White House directly to demand a recount, especially since there has been evidence that not every ballot has been counted and will be thrown away if it hasn't been cured.

The link to contact the White House is here!

The following screenshot comes from here!

If you need help writing something, check under the cut! I've provided a prewritten response from one of the replies!

"I am a concerned citizen, and I need you to hear me. I urge you to recount the ballots from this election and investigate election interference. Bomb threats have been called into multiple polling locations, causing some to close early. Domestic terrorists have burned ballot boxes. An unprecedented number of ballots have been rejected and require curing. There have been reports of polling officers allowing voter intimidation in and outside of polling places across the country and an estimated 20 million mail in ballots are unaccounted for. In addition, many people have reported that ballots were not counted for suspicious reasons such as signature invalidation which is information that vote counters do not have access to. These events have occurred in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia, for instance."

Feel free to add and change what you want, this is just a base for you to work off of.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

On twitter I’m seeing dozens of threads from Black activists warning people against burnout, giving all sorts of useful tips about preventing and managing it for the sake of a long-term, sustainable effort.

On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.

Be careful who you get your information from. Don’t let guilt lead you to make choices that will harm both you and the movement.

Personally, I am going to tax my thoughts of doom.

In the past I used to donate to LGBTIQ+ Military (Ukrainian NGO) whenever I saw something stupid said about the war online. Today I am donating a fixed amount for every hour I spend thinking how we are fucked. 

Donation link: English version, Ukrainian version.

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

Another late Halloween idea of mine was to draw a possessed plush doll with a twist. The spirit inside is not actually actively seeking vengeance upon those who mistreat the doll - it's kind and patient, patching the doll up whenever the doll's little owners get too carried away.

I know that technically Halloween already ended, BUT as I was feeling sick around that time, HALLOWEEN WILL GO ON A BIT LONGER My beloved pumpkin guy named Puck - I carved him once a few years ago and then really wanted to give him a proper character ref, which I finally did. Also, I am not an expert at drawing arachnids, but this is supposed to be a dark fishing spider (her name is Charlotte and she is his friend!) 🎃🕷️

BEST HALLOWEEN EVER, THANK YOU!!!

👻 Trick or Treat!!! 🎃

You get a dark fishing spider (Dolomedes tenebrosus)!

I collect Starbound captains as if they are my Pokemon team :,D I didn't forget about previous ones that I still adore, but recently I started a new game file and rediscovered how cozy the gameplay is to me still, despite many years.

Finally in-between battling with my busy schedule and art block I got something out of my system. 🐍 Hope this will give a good kick to my motivation to draw again, I missed doing so!!

What do you think of ai art?

What I think about AI art is that IT'S NOT art at all. It is a disgusting unethical technology based on the stolen labor of millions of creative people to replace those creative people. Many of them have lost their jobs and incomes, just so that a bunch of rich assholes and scammers can make extra millions. Not to mention that all this requires so much energy that it is leading us to a climate catastrophe even faster. I sincerely wish that everyone involved in this technology, its promotion and use rots in hell forever.
