I feel like I haven't allowed myself to draw all that much lately. Dissertation season will do that, but maybe I'm just burnt out. Eh.

Either way, enjoy some christmassy blorbos :)

Kind of an obvious one, but lesbians really are at the forefront of queer revolution. The reason they get so so much hatred is because (cishet down the patriarchy hole) men inherently think being attracted to women means treating them as subhuman and sex slaves (ie objectification) and associate that same attraction to lesbianism. They further get soooooo mad when they find out lesbians treat women as equal to them (they will never realise it's the bare minimum) and then villify them by pinning their own crimes of horribly objectifying women onto them. They will never wrap their minds around the fact that women deserve to be loved and respected as person equal to them and not as a subhuman. The existence of lesbians means women are equal in a partnership and it pisses the shit out of cisheteronormativity.

The ninety-fourth free, unedited chapter of my upcoming book, “The Heist at Cordia Aquarium” is now available on its website (or click https://www.kitfisto.gay/chapters/thea to read from the beginning).

Sophia kneels near her desk. A massive, wooden monster weighed down by a computer tower and four mechanical arms. Each one holds a monitor. A two-by-two grid of black bezels and screens, all blank.

Arms deep inside a drawer, Sophia glances at Avery. "Come in, yeah? Don't just hover there."

Avery takes a few tentative steps toward Sophia's bed. "Do I— do I just— sit?"

Sophia unearths a black-white speckled tome — journal, rather — and chucks it onto her desk. "Yeah. It's not going to eat you."

She slaps journal after journal down atop the first. One, two, three; a hushed "No" or "Nope" accompanies each. At ten tall, she goes for eleven, but falters. Something about the cover. She stumbles over with it and plops onto the bed, her eyes never straying. Avery can see it now; the writing across the cover in big, black marker: January 2335; nearly four years ago.

Shelter on Amazon prime has well written characters and an interesting story. There's a black latino guy that is THE main character, a black girl as a protagonist, a lesbian girl as a protagonist, a lovely dorky but genius guy that you are going to love a lot... there are lots of wlws involved, there is a non binary black character that's important to the plot, A LOT of plot twists, it deals with really heavy topics like abuse on children but it's also funny at times so it's not all heavy and the kids are written like actual real people and not just gen Z caricatures... beautiful relationships between the characters, beautiful scenes of platonic friendship and mutual support, lots of action and drama but in a good way, there are queer relationships actually happening on screen that are the main focus!! It has literally everything you could ever want and it's actually pretty damn good!!! GO WATCH IT NOW PLEASE 🥺

It’s new drawing tablet time bb!

I got a new tablet (ostensibly for drawing). I got it because, despite my adoration for my XP Pen 12 Pro, it isn’t what one would call... portable. My laptop in of itself is a backbreaker, so even if I could find all the power outlets I’d need in a public space, it’s not practical! But for ages now, despite my casual love for paper sketching, I’ve wanted a way to draw digitally on the go. So I got the cheapest tablet I could find that I wouldn’t have to corrupt into the hell dimension to get Krita working on. Enter stage right; the Surface Go 3! I’m gonna say immediately (and more than anything so you know this isn’t an ad) that the Go 3 sucks, and I do not recommend it. It overheats, it’s gotta a smaller display size than my XP Pen, it has middling battery life, and the pen and drawing support is very, very questionable. However, for me? As someone who only wants it to sketch with, to use essentially as a mobile, digital sketch book? It’s poifect! It’s small and portable but workable, and I’ve been using janky computers my entire life; at this point, I’m stubborn enough to get through most fucky moments if it means I can have drawing on the go. I’m really excited to use this more and get some fun sketching done. And cos it’s all connected by OneDrive and it’s all done in Krita native files, if I like a sketch, I can easily “finish it” at home :) Naturally to test out my new tablet I had to draw the scrunks, I’ve missed them...

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.
