i had a dental cleaning today. my dental hygienist is super friendly, my age, has a husband and a baby, very bright. we get along really well and chat a lot. we got to the topic of hanging out with friends and i told her i had joined a feminist discord and met up whenever i could with a great group of women and how good it’s been for me. she then lowers her voice and says, “ok, i don’t usually get into morality and beliefs and stuff with people, cuz i usually don’t like to, but since you said you’re in a feminist group—” and my ears of course perked up. bc, i mean. anything could be coming after that prefix.

and she continues, “have you noticed, that, like, many major women’s positions and awards are going to, like… trans women?” and what ensued was an incredibly insightful conversation with her about how concerned she is for how women are being treated. i reassured her that she’s not imagining things, that there is a very definite disparity here that is seeking to silence women and instill fear in us for questioning the very real imbalance. she exhaled and went, “oh thank god! i didn’t know if i was being, like, offensive or something.”

and we talked at length about it, and even though she claimed she was not well-read on the subject material, her observations were right on the ball.

anyway. my point here is that i got the impression that this woman has been dying to talk about this with someone. she had so much to say, and it just all came spilling out in a huge tide. it took us an HOUR to get through what should’ve been a 20-minute dental cleaning.

she is a very “normie” woman who expressed a lot of fear around asking questions. and it just amazed me that she waited until she heard the sleeper agent activation word from me, “feminist,” to know she was safe to talk about it.

and i don’t really know what i mean to say here but it just gave me both sadness and hope all at once. sadness that she thought she wasn’t entitled to her observations, but hope that women all over are waking up to this and WANT very much to talk about it with each other.

this woman is someone i see all of twice a year by appointment only. but she WANTED to bring this up. she WANTED to be heard. it was just a really amazing moment to watch her speak up and find her footing strengthening as she went on.

it gives me encouragement to start emphasizing key words a bit more overtly, like “feminist,” or “women’s issues,” in everyday convo with other women. making sure that door is open for communication is so much more effective than i ever could’ve imagined, bc this is not the first time this has happened. women everywhere want to speak. i hope i get to greet and hear as many of them as possible.

this is a whole ass thesis on the culture of hip hop and how Drake sucks and it might be the best video essays I’ve ever watched. This creator is also incredible - he has so many videos that are so informative and I was genuinely excited when he announced he was making a video of the whole beef.

please watch it - it’s worth it.

I love a good chat with an ADHDer which ends up with them infodumping about the way different cultures treat cannibalism like yes tell me more

Delighted to report that I made this. This is my Tensura Isekai SI, Wendy, using <Crystalline Barrier>, one of their unique skills!

This is the most complex animation I've made by far!!!

Did a little art tutorial from @mjtheartist04 and just-

Sooooo I have barb fanart as my phone background, so I felt the strong need to make barbatos-themed icons for it...

picture of my phone background below the cut (big thank you to @ohnoohnohere-she-comes for sharing her beautiful art, I hope it's okay for personal use! I just want to stare at him every day 💕💕)

I still plan to make custom icons for the bottom ones but that’ll be for another day.

Also, I couldn’t figure out how to get the transparency to work with the Shortcuts app, so I actually had to customize the icons to have the background of the icon match the background of the phone… that was fun….

Hi. Hello. I'm really sorry if this is a question you e answered but I'm emerging from a 45 minute panicked search. Picture me as a desperate, manic, half drowned raccoon.

I believe it's you that made my favourite TMA animatic...ever. First Love? It was by someone with this same handle on YouTube. It has dissappeared. I cannot even find the channel. I was just wondering what happened?

A selfish person (me) would also love to know if they could maybe get a copy? If it's okay with you.

Hi, hello. As the person who, in a previous bout of paranoia, panicked and privated the channel and all its contents, I sympathize with the desperate, manic, half drowned raccoon feel. I’ve been almost too anxious to look at it since, but, y’know. Uh. Since you asked so nicely?

in seriousness, I’ve been meaning to open the darn thing back up anyway. I’m working on videos on and off for years, even though I never finish them, and I have to put them someplace if I do. Besides, I’ve taken a few videos that meant a lot to some folks down with me into the void, and much as I’d like to let people see them again, I’ve been kind of… scared, about it. Anyway, uh. So here’s a link!

I don’t know yet if I’m going to make it all public again instead of unlisted, or if, or when, but. I know this video’s made a lot of people awfully happy, and even though I cringe violently at my old (almost three years, now, look how I’ve grown) art, I really am glad you enjoy it :] so… enjoy it.

Something awful about being so good at something but not being able to do it again because the time you were doing it reminds you of someone you'd rather forget
