I know most of you aren't Jewish, but this might be some insight. So, Jews have our rituals and whatnot, we have the joke about whether the holiday is "they tried to kill us", "we survived" and "let's eat" but even with our happy celebrations we keep a darker undertone. With the smashing of a glass at a wedding, it's a reminder of our tragedies.

What's my point? The culture makes a point to remind us of our struggles, our oppression. We are ALLOWED to feel woe and suffering. However, we aren't to just lay down and die. We're a people of fighters. If we didn't fight, we'd be dead.

So, to my friends out there who are afraid of what's to come, who already face oppression everyday, you are allowed to hurt. Please do. Take some time to feel your emotions deeply and fully. But, then go out there and keep fighting. The nazis want us dead. They want us suffering. They want us to wallow to the point we have no energy to stop them, so they can stomp all over us.

Don't let the Nazis win, do not roll over and show your belly, do not stop fighting.

give your queer friends a hug the next time you see them. if you are queer, i’m sending you a hug right now. please don’t give up. our rights and our validity is no doubt about to be put under the microscope, but please remember that you have people that love you and who will miss you when you are gone. i will miss you. choose to stay and to fight. be brave, for me. i love you.

give your friends who are women a hug the next time you see them. if you are a woman, i’m sending you a hug right now. our rights to our bodies and our very right to what little equality we have is in danger. please stay. stay. stay on this earth. i don’t care what you have to do. stay. we are strong. we can fight. we will fight. you are brave, you are powerful, and you can and will make a difference in this world. just please stay on it.

stay.

With the recent trump election, his first executive order and the Supreme Court decision, it is as important as ever for trans, cis, queer, poc, ANY marginalized identity to put aside differences and any biases, because if we aren't united then we may as well not exist at all. Now is the time to care for each other and look out for your fellow humans. Trans people being pit against each other is just a distraction from the true enemy.

god i’m so sick of trans people being transphobic to other kinds of trans people like seriously y’all need to just. get a fucking grip and throw away your need to treat other trans people like we’re not supposed to be on the same fucking side.

and fucking listen to other trans people when they tell you about their own lived experience. just because you’re also trans doesn’t mean you own the entire trans experience.

Funny tiktok pplz just returned before I got to post lol anyways, I got a comment that tiktok filtered and I got deleted as I was reading (woops) advising me to not make him realistic. I don't like to title my art style but you can clearly tell he's not a human, but a stylised character. In 3D. As such this is not realism and I don't strive to achieve it nor want to draw like someone else.

My whole shtick is recreating the characters in my own way and drawing expressions, I love making anything as expressive as possible and based on that my style is formed. I study alot of the general vibe the character gives off and I try to translate through my art and try to be still faithful to the main core of the character I'm drawing and its personality. I still feel I need to work on my Goku and right now this is the best version yet. Its nauseating to keep trying and not getting the results you want but you always have to remember the more you do it the better you'll get and when you get something how you want it then it might help you find the next thing and it just goes from there. I was happy with his hair then decided to move to the next thing, his eyes. And I think I got that look!

i think that's how you develop a style anyway, by trying to draw certain things the way you want them and find a way to make everything correlate visually and invoke that yum emo xp. literally this was my first sketches of him months ago

... I don't know why I needed to type that but i hopes it's something, k-loveyoubye

you don't have a personal responsibility to break stereotypes about your demographics. you don't have to be the perfect representation. you don't have to be a good representation. you are allowed to exist as you are, even if it somehow fits into stereotypes.

you're allowed to have your experiences, hobbies, expressions, traits, problems, symptoms, etc. even if they're stereotyped. you are not a living stereotype. you are a person. a person who happens to have some traits. you're not making the world less diverse. your existence already contributes to diversity.

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say black lives matter

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say disabled lives matter

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say First Nations lives matter

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say neurodivergent lives matter

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say women’s health matters

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say ANY other marginalized communities’ lives matter

Intersectional identities are here and won’t go away

are we feeling the schadenfreude today?

[the-trans-advice-blog]

Please please please think of trans people of color when you’re going to make a generalized statement. When you’re making posts about passing tips, medical treatments for transitioning, even light hearted stereotypes include people of color in your sentiments.

As a black trans person it is so fucking isolating to see stuff I’m supposed to relate to only to find that they weren’t talking about me or people like me.

"We want to protect children!" okay. What about trans kids? What about palestinian kids? What about lgbtq+ kids? What about poc kids?
