New dads!

(also, if that photo has multiple fictional characters, all of the fictional characters in that photo will be your roomates.)

(sorry if you don't like this content, I just saw one of those "fictional character in photo roll" posts, and thought I would make one.)

If you’re a Non-Muslim and you see a Muslim praying in public, could you please not pass in front of them?

Go behind them, but not in front. 👍

DEAR EDUCATIONALLY NEGLECTED HOMESCHOOLERS

I’ve gathered some resources and tips and tricks on self-educating after educational neglect. This is only what I did and what I know helped me. I’m about to graduate college with honors after having no education past the age of 9. I wouldn’t be here without the following. Everything is free, and at/well above the standard for education in the US.

The holy grail: Khan Academy. Nearly every course you could take is available here, in order and by grade level. Their open-source free courses rival some of the college classes I’ve taken. This is your most solid resource.

For inattentive types: Crash Course offers a variety of courses that are snappy, entertaining, and extremely rewarding. They work for my ADHD brain. They also have college prep advice, which is essential if you’re looking to go to higher education with no classroom experience.

To catch up on your reading: There are certain books that you may have read had you gone to school that you’ve missed out on. This list is the most well-rounded and can fill you in on both children’s books and classic novels that are essential or at least extremely helpful to be familiar with. You can find a majority of these easily at a local library (and some for free in PDF form online low key). There are a few higher level classics in here that I’d highly recommend. If it doesn’t work for you, I’d always recommend asking your local librarian.

*BE AWARE* The book list I recommend suggests you read Harry Potter books, and given their transphobic author you may or may not want to read them. If you choose to, I’d highly recommend buying the books secondhand or borrowing from a library to avoid financially supporting a living author with dangerous and damaging views.

TEST, TEST, TEST: Again, Khan Academy is your go-to for this. I don’t personally like standardized testing, but going through SAT and ACT courses was the best way I found to really reveal my gaps so that I could supplement.

Finally: As much as you can, enjoy the process. Education can be thrilling and teach you so much about yourself, and help shape your view of the world. It can get frustrating, but I’d like to encourage you that everyone can learn. No pace is the perfect pace, and your learning style is the right learning style for you. In teaching yourself, be patient, be kind, and indulge in the subjects you really enjoy without neglecting others. You are your teacher. Give yourself what others chose not to.

At the lesbian meetup, met a kind of transphobic woman. Started gearing up to get fighty and then realised... she wasn't an actual terf. She was just older, genuinely didn't know stuff, had heard some terf talking points in passing and had been made kind of anxious by them, but hadn't made it her entire personality. She was open to learning that trans women weren't actually roaming around coercing unwilling cis lesbians into sex, thanked me earnestly for giving her a basic explanation of what "non-binary" meant and truly seemed to be relaxing bit by bit the more she heard. Obviously I'm aware that I can't be sure I've given her a sufficient dose of anti-transphobe vaccine to immunise her permanently against the shit that's out there, but overall it made me hopeful. Most people just aren't dyed-in-the-wool bigots. People can be curious and relieved to hear the fearmongering they've been exposed to is untrue. Telling people this stuff isn't a lost cause.

remembering the time i drunkenly told a stranger i was a trans man and he started going off about alpha sigma and beta males and how each one was equally important no matter what anyone says and that i shouldn't feel pressured to be a strong alpha male because emotionally intelligent beta males were just as important

I don't want to ask AI a question. I don't want AI to write my sentences for me, at all ever. I don't want AI search bars to be the default and I don't want them to be in such a way that I can't opt out. I don't want this kind of AI in my life and there is no such thing as AI art, there is only theft of art from human artists by AI scrappers. I don't want any of this, I hate it. Maybe in a world that isn't driven by tech bro capitalism we can see machines doing all the dangerous inane things so humans can be free to pursue life and creativity. But that's not what's happening right now and I hate it.

So I’ve been doing some stuff quietly, and I will continue to do so for most pieces, but I appreciate everyone who reached out while I was taking a breather from things.

Keep soaring dudes.

Actually I do need to say more

I need not say any more

FUCK I keep thinking abt morph they have me in a CHOKEHOLD like can you imagine??? you're in hell. maybe. It's nineteen ninety six. late in the year. you dont think youre in hell anymore, but somethings Wrong. Somethings not right. Your body doesn't look like You anymore. you dont feel like You. did he take something out? was there some vital component youre missing? your skin is coming off. theres a ghost underneath. a thousand faces, none of them yours. what the fuck are you? what are you?

So important to me that Xavier's school for gifted youngsters is an actual accredited school. This ain't hogwarts. You may have gotten superpowers but you're also getting a GPA. Iceman teaches math. Gambit teaches sex ed. We ain't fooling around.

Back again with Morph and Logan.

I love the ship even if it's one side. Tho im hopeful it'll become something cuz Morph gets Logan, and they share the same vibes where they're comfortable to be themselves with all the shit going on.

i know logan isn't the one to be in relationships cuz they all ended up... not pretty, but it'll be nice for him to get some love for a change. also morph cuz my man was just born for the sideline, and he needs some sugar too 😂

I've been looking for random internet images to draw x men as (I gotta give credit to @tokkosoap for the idea), this one was too perfect not to do
