Ive been thinking about how I cannot remember a SINGLE book with a single queer character I read before I was in my 20s.
It took me a L O N G time to come out to myself. I had no representation as a kid for what my sexuality looks like.
This is traumatizing. It's why people need therapy.
I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
photo of an attic apartment room. it kinda has ghibli vibes (i've been told π)...it has hardwood floors, light green walls, white slanted ceiling. on the right side of the photo, there's a table made out of an old singer sewing machine base and a white plywood top. on it, there's a bang and olufsen cd player and a cd stand next to it. there are 2 white chairs at it, with green gingham seat cushions and back rests. in the back is another desk, slightly visible, with another same chair. behind it, there are a lot of house plants and a big white cabinet. there are plants on it as well...there are also framed paintings on the slanted ceiling.
same room as previous photo, just different angle. you can now see the desk, with a white pegboard, a white lamp, drawing suplies, and, of course, more plants. from this angle you can also see the door leading to the balcony, and the door hole in the wall is painted red, as a frame.
photo of the same room, but different angle. this one shows a wall filled with framed paintings and art prints. in front of it is a cabinet. on it, there is a big variegated monstera. next to it are a jar with nespresso pods, a black nespresso machine, and a pick espresso machine with pink mugs on top of it. above it, a photos plant is hanging from a ceiling. to the right side,there's another cabinet, with a framed drawing on it, and another house plant.
took me a few years to get the apartment to look like this, cause most of the stuff is second hand or DIY'd...but i think it was worth it! ππ±

An image with several smaller illustrations of my gray and black sea cow character, Umiko, against a soft blue background. She is a manatee with a face and tummy like a cowβs, and horns on her head. The various illustrations show her swimming around and enjoying sea grass, as well as her loving her tiny manatee child, who is just as round as she is. She is so rotundβ¦

An aerial photo shows three diggers excavating the ground for graves. More than 65 graves are already dug. Those not yet dug are marked out by chalk.
Not a single US newspaper will publish this photo. No news channel will broadcast it.
The graves are being prepared for more than 80 young children killed in the US/Israeli strike on the school in Minab, Iran on Saturday.

Millefleurs-style woven tapestry of two barn owls circling a curled up rabbit. The animals are surrounded by various other plants and animals that juxtapose symbols of life and death, making it unclear if the rabbit lives or dies.
The tapestry lying on grass.
The tapestry draped over a couch.
Barn owl tapestries are open for PREORDER again!
Preorders will run until March 31, fulfillment estimated in May.

US Citizens: it takes 3 minutes to ask them not to cut down more forest and you can do it anonymously and receive a receipt without sharing any PII.
Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own governmentβs repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
imagining a caveperson getting super annoyed that they canβt make the bison look right. theyβre crumpling up the whole cave and throwing it away. makes me feel much better
While the purple leather is in short supply, we can highly recommend the green or black leather with the gold inlay as well!

With all the negative happening on the topic of Transgender people.
I would like to share some positivity for my Transgender brothers, sisters and those in-between.
If you're a Transgender Artist and would like be added leave a comment. π

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a βweaponββHIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

They want us to know that they can and will just fucking shoot us if we become annoying or inconvenient.
This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing βHey-Oh, we wonβt be silent while our friends are gunned down.β
Really listen to it.

Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible
