howwww do you even grapple with having used to be a huge asshole even if it was a severe mental health episode that reasonably to any normal person couldn't have been avoided

i love when i unsubscribe from a mailing list and the thing is like “You’ve unsubscribed, if this was a mistake, resubscribe here.” as if i didn’t have to use an 8x sniper scope to find the damn unsubscribe button in your email in the first place

They should invent a way to interact with people that doesn't feel like I'm being hunted for sport

New art! This is based on a scene I saw driving to work earlier this year. I was able to snap photos for the background reference, but had to find the raven, haha. I don't know why I'm so obsessed with leaving elements "outside" of the "frame." I actually did finish this with a "full" background, but realized I could do "the thing." I submitted the "full bg" version to a show put out by the town. I'm thinking I may throw a white mat on it when I frame, to get a similar vibe.

Nonhuman expressions of affection are great. Purring. Exposing weak points as a show of trust. Head bonks. Preening and chewing. Nuzzling. Biting. Intertwining tails. Feeding each other. Little chuffs, chatters, beeps and squeaks. Fluffing up of feathers, fur or other things. Dancing to impress. Cleaning their fur, scales, feathers or skin. Sharing body heat. Ears pointing toward those you care about to show your full attention is on them. Slow blinking.

There’s this eternal paradox with capitalists where they want you to spend money but they don’t want to give you money. You think they’d eventually grasp that paying people a living wage is good for the economy because it means people have more money to spend but no. No pay. Only spend.

a really great organization that i don't see any posts about here is HEAL palestine. it was founded by steve sosebee, who was a founding president of the PCRF before leaving in late 2023 to refocus his efforts on heal palestine to better meet the needs of palestinians impacted by the genocide. the organization provides palestinians in gaza with food, clean water, shelters, "makeshift classrooms," and even medical evacuation for some children when it's possible--their services are pretty wide.

you can donate here if you would like to send a tax-deductible donation to an organization. also, i don't think any evacuations are possible right now, but if you're in the united states and you'd like to welcome medically evacuated children in the future, i highly recommend signing up for their newsletter or following them on social media so you can stay updated in case any children evacuated by HEAL come to your area for treatment. welcoming these kids at the airport is a really moving way to provide them with moral support, entirely for free.

Admonishment to self loathing - nobody ever got better through self hate and suffering! Take the ibuprofen! Your brain is not a confessional where you are an eternal penitent! Forcing hardship upon yourself doesn't make you noble it makes you injured!

Black and red version and trans version both on my redbubble

[ID: a digital drawing of a wolf caught in a bear trap, stylized like a risograph print. There are two colourways - one in black and red, the other in pink and blue, both on a soft cream background. Text reads "Your suffering is not noble. no absolution will materialize from your pain. End ID]

sometimes I think too hard about like. how the ability to record audio fundamentally changed how humans interact with music. can you imagine if the only time you ever heard music in your whole life was when you or another human being in your actual physical presence decided to create it. and 99.99% of the time that person was not a professional but just like your wife or your dad or your co-worker or church choir singing or playing whatever they happened to know. i honestly don't think we can fathom it
