Book recommendation for yall! Found this in the library and checked it out bc I was a curious. It’s a really interesting look at the lives of women in the UK and the lesbian community, and has lots of chunks of stories from the various folks who were interviewed
The stories are very honest and very interesting! It has a lot of different answers to questions such as “how do people conceptualize themselves when they don’t have the language to do so” and is super insightful, I think a lot of it is applicable to non-UK folk as well
If your local library has it, definitely give it a read!
#book recommendation#the lives of older lesbians#most interesting to me was the intersection of gender and sexuality#and the fluid nature of words definitions and how we define ourselves#there’s loads of stories in there about with folks who if they grew up today might ID differently#there’s one persons account who outright says she’s a butch lesbian but if she were in todays generation she’d be trans#and get bottom surgery#interesting stuff!!#I love books like this bc it captures the way the queer community isn’t a monolith#and how different people relate to themselves differently#the intersection of the identities of feminist and lesbian was interesting#especially when it got into the difficulty between the feminists and the butch/femme folks#this was in a US library btw not even a UK one#I did have fun trying to guess the dialects based on some of the accounts tho lol

so i finally got my pcos diagnosis this year last year and i decided to look into online communities for people with pcos to see how people deal with a lot of the symptoms because the whole never ending period thing is really fucking annoying. and shaving all the time is really annoying. and having a five o'clock shadow is really annoying.
and i totally thought these communities and overall people with pcos would be a lot more welcoming and understanding with trans women. but they're not. specifically on reddit and tiktok, i've seen trans women who've attempted to relate to cis women with pcos be met with vitriol and loathing. it's very baffling to me. because i feel like if anyone could relate to having an unwanted ability to grow a beard caused by pcos, it would be trans women.
and overall there's a lot of self loathing within a lot of cis women with pcos. i've seen many refer to themselves are diseased and seemingly experience a lot of dysphoria from the excessive hair growth. on top of that, i've seen a lot of fatphobia being internalized and shared around in these communities. there's just so much self hatred from cis women who hate their bodies for their inability to conform to popularized beauty standards.
i have a very different view of having pcos from these people, so i find myself unable to relate to a lot of their experiences when so many people have such large emotions around having this condition. and those emotions and feelings are valid!! however, i just don't have any emotionally charge experiences with pcos outside of annoyance. it just makes my life a bit more inconvenient, but i don't find it all encompassing like so many people seem to
#anyway some of the best advice to deal with things like excessive facial hair imo have come from trans women and drag queens#and it's terrible how many cis women scorn any advice from trans women or drag queens. and are overall transmisogynistic#the moth talks about pcos#also this was partly inspired by a tiktok of a trans women calling another trans women delusional for claiming to have pcos#and i would like to point out that people without ovaries and cis men CAN have a pcos like condition. it's really interesting#and research might even suggest right now that pcos isn't actually caused by ovaries#but instead they contribute to the condition in some way or the effects of ovaries are just a symptom for people who have that anatomy#interesting stuff!!#but back to my point#the comments were filled with people ripping that trans woman apart for claiming to have what many consider the worst part of their bodies#and thanking the trans woman who made the video calling the other delusional for pointing out how horrific it is to claim to have pcos#but again with the fact cis men and people without ovaries can exhibit something very very close to pcos#i think it's entirely in the original trans woman's right to say she has it#and the large push back against that claim being from 1. a large amount of self hatred and disdain for pcos#and 2. ignorance and a lack of knowledge on current research#and 3. let's be real probably some transmisogny from the commenters of the tiktok#and also pcos as a name for the condition sucks#there are phenotypes for pcos btw#and only one phenotype has presentation of cysts of the ovaries#so all these people claiming that you need to have cysts on the ovaries (and thus ovaries) to have pcos are kind of wrong#but considering only part of all people diagnosed with pcos actually have cysts on their ovaries#pcos is objectively a terrible name

don't show him modern technology; it won't end well
bonus under the cut:
#i'm not sure if ford would really be interested in using the internet much#but i could see him wanting to look something up real quick and ending up reading something so outrageously wrong#that it pisses him off to the point that he gets into an argument about it lol#gravity falls#stan pines#stanley pines#stanford pines#digital art#my stuff#anyway i really don't like how this one turned out#but i don't feel like changing it#bc i already spent way more time on this than i actually wanted to#and i don't wanna look at it any longer

Anti-fairies bubbles wisps sparks all so similar yet different#I know I learned way too late that some dungeons have an endless supply of fairies#thanks to respawning enemies like Anti-Fairies

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)
the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)
all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)
you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!
and you can order a print/poster here from my inprnt!
#i mostly made this for me but i hope it can help other people too!#also thinking about maybe putting this on smth like gumroad so people can download a high quality pdf to print themselves#lmk if anyone would be interested in that 👀#my art#artists on tumblr#stretches#edit: this post popped off okay‚ also a lot of people expressed interest so i made a gumroad! maybe ill put other stuff there thatd be cool

"content creator" is a corporate word.
we are artists.
#anti ai#fuck ai#artists on tumblr#please do not call me or any artist a content creator#i'm an artist. a fanartist. a designer. but not a content creator#ai clowns in my replies will be deleted and blocked without response so do not waste your breath#you are not an 'artist' for generating an image any more than you are a chef for ordering from a restaurant. someone Else did the work.#owen dennis just deleted all his blue sky stuff again and i hate that he does that because he makes such interesting comments#about the entertainment industry lmao i need to just. start screenshotting every smart thing he says#anyway thats why i decided to finally make this when its been sitting in drafts for a few months#owen dennis#edit - if you dont know who owen dennis is he's the creator of one of the best animated series of the last 20 years (Infinity Train)#he's very open about talking about art and the entertainment/animation industry on social media and in his newsletter and hes so cool 4 it

"jason is a knockoff watered down percy" NO hear me out, jason actually parallels annabeth immensely, sharing SO many similarities with her personality, not percy, in this essay I will-
edit: my full analysis is out now! here
#just adding that I think jason and annabeth are similar BUT they are SEPARATE characters with separate personalities ❗❗#and i don't think jason is anyone's knockoff!! so don't misunderstand me guys!#trust me ik how it feels like to have jason getting mischaracterized so I would never do that!#when I read about jason the first time I'm like wow he's gentler but similar to annabeth chase wow he could be her twin#they are both genuinely interested in learning stuff. they both mansplain and geek. they are both misunderstood as conceding when they do#they love getting involved in debates and discussions. they both have designed temples assigned to them by the gods themselves#they are both seen as 'scary and intimidating' when they're just softies who need love. they are both overthinkers with too many plans#they are both soft for ppl w silly humor. they both kinda give off an untrustworthy vibe at first bc they know too much info#they are both also pretty suspicious and don't trust immediately. they both love architecture. they both have a 'cold icy' stare#also they're both TALL#I could keep going on and on for ages actually#pjo#pjo fandom#percy jackson#jason grace#pjo series#pjo hoo toa#pjo hoo#annabeth chase

3 years of this godforsaken show
#murder drones has genuinely shaped me so much#drawing stuff from it has been one of my greatest motivators to learn more art stuff#i've been able to iron out my interests and sense of humor due to it#i've corrupted the sekaiju discord with it#much to half the servers dismay#ive grown so attached to these characters. it was heartbreaking to see them go those months ago#who knows where i would have been without this show entering my life#wouldn't have obtained this audience without it. i owe you all that#i messed up the perspective in that one spot im posting this before i can get more upset about it#art#murder drones#murder drones uzi#murder drones v#murder drones n#serial designation v#serial designation n#murder drones j#serial designation j#a little bonus i thought of while sketching out the og poses#Tessa would've loved this.

Vanessa's first impression on Mike in the FNAF movie
#myart#chloesimagination#comic#fnaf#five nights at freddy's#mike schmidt#fnaf vanessa#vanessa afton#vanessa shelly#fnaf movie#fnaf fanart#VANESSA is so interesting in the fnaf movie#like rewatching it knowing her goals is so cool#cause you can see on her face she’s lying and or thinking other stuff#SO I CAN only imagine she her first thoughts were of Mike#she was probably so ready to deal with Mike as she had with other night guards#only to be faced with this sleepy docile dude#her plans must of gotten sm harder#her need for friendship really outweighed her need to impress her father#who would win murder man or one sleepy guy?

For example, writing fanfiction in which a canonically lesbian character has a relationship with a man; writing about a canonically asexual character having sex; etc.

"I am going to get a good grade in ___________, a thing that is both normal to want and possible to achieve" drifts through my brain with positively alarming regularity.
#this is because I managed to have an interesting conversation with my uncles at dinner#and also I had Work Stuff to do in front of my mother and felt so so proud of myself#sometimes being human is very ridiculous.#celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge
