this was a comment on one of my post from a recent live event. it was photos of joyful queer buckaroos celebrating together and proving love is real through creation, community, and a trot of love. most important I AM LITERALLY IN PHOTO AS A REAL FLESH AND BLOOD HUMAN
it got me thinking about how DEEP AND VICIOUS the irony poisoning of these early internet communities goes. the way buds like this cannot fathom someone just being a sincere person unrelated to their OWN old days of cynical posting. it is fascinating, and i will admit, sad too
despite a DECADE of work, countless live events, 350 tinglers written well before large language models were a thing, there are still people who cannot imagine someone like me could exist. it is a strange place to be. not just part of me, but my entire EXISTENCE is often gatekept
it is easy to say ‘well chuck your art IS strange’ but honestly i think it is more than that. magical realism is common. there are stories about dinosaurs and bigfeet and unicorns. this scoundrel reaction is about two unspoken things: my art is neurodivergent, and my art is queer
heres the thing: I WILL BE FINE. what concerns me is not an issue of MYSELF, it is a concern for the other young outsider buckaroos who see comments like this one and think ‘is that what they will say if i express MY unique way? will i be dehumanized like this at every turn?'
i will be honest, i cannot say that WONT happen, but i CAN say this: for as deep as this irony poisoning goes, it is slowly dying. the way i was treated at the start of my career is LIGHTYEARS DIFFERENT from the way i am treated now. there is a massive shift towards sincerity
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY. to young artists trotting up, the things that i am harassed over and doubted for and made fun of for are NOT tangental to what has made me successful, THEY ARE LITERALLY THE SAME THINGS THAT HAVE MADE ME SUCCESSFUL. YES I AM STRANGE, WHAT OF IT?
the things that you tuck away for fear of a review that says ‘there is a PROBLEM with this art because it has always been done another way’ THOSE ARE YOUR SUPERPOWERS. the gatekeepers want you to tuck those parts of yourself away because THEY TUCKED AWAY THOSE PART OF THEMSELVES
never forget that your unique way is PURE UNFILTERED 100 PERCENT ROCKET FUEL. it will stick out (maybe, if you are lucky, scoundrels will even say that someone like you could never actually be real), but sticking out isnt so bad when you are waving the flag of love.
in fact, when youre waving the flag of love, sticking out is pretty dang cool. what are flags for, after all? LOVE IS REAL BUCKAROOS. thank you for reading, and if you enjoyed this long post then please consider preordering BURY YOUR GAYS.
LETS TROT

The FTC just announced a new rule banning noncompete agreements. A noncompete agreement is a rule set by an employer stating that employees cannot get a new job (or start a new business) within a certain industry and/or geographical area for a certain timeframe after leaving.
Originally, the idea was to encourage employers to invest in their employees by providing more training and developing useful skills, confidant in the knowledge that those employees wouldn't take that valuable training and quit to work for a competitor. But noncompete agreements have become increasingly common for all sorts of jobs. They trap workers in crappy jobs with low wages by limiting their options for leaving.
For example, Jimmy John's used to have a noncompete agreement that prohibited employees from working anywhere that sold sandwiches within three miles of any Jimmy John's establishment, during and for two years after employment. They have since rescinded the agreement and settled a related lawsuit out of court in 2016, but hopefully this illustrates how ridiculous these things can get.
My favorite quote from the article:
"The Commission also finds that instead of using noncompetes to lock in workers, employers that wish to retain employees can compete on the merits for the worker’s labor services by improving wages and working conditions."

this may seem random but let's talk about chapter 22 of the aria manga. to me this is a touching story of two girls who are both neurodivergent but in different ways which causes strain in their relationship before they can understand each other
alice is one of the three main heroines. I don't know that it was intentional but I think it's very easy to interpret her as autistic. she is blunt in her way of speaking and has difficulty interacting with others. she seems both mature for her age bc she's so talented but also young for her age bc her behavior is childish. she's the type who's very rule-oriented and sees things as black and white. the metaphor of the chapter comes from her deciding to punish her left hand, which ends up including self-injury behavior. akari just calls this childish but it feels like a Symptom to me
in contrast her older roommate athena is clumsy and forgetful and just sort of lives in her own world. she's very empathetic but doesn't talk much. she does things for people silently or she sings
so alice feels like even though she's the younger one she has to be keeping athena on track. since alice is so obsessed with doing things correctly and athena is free-floating. in my mind this is their two different ways of being nd being incompatible with each other
but, whenever alice is stressed or can't sleep, athena sings to her from across the room as her own way of cheering her up
this causes alice to realize that athena is like her left hand, which is useful in that it silently supports the actions of the right hand
meanwhile athena reaffirms that she lives in her own world and does things for herself. she would sing anyway but she's happy that alice is there to hear her. now that they've aired their feelings they can understand each other a little better
I feel like their relationship doesn't get as much focus as akari+alicia and aika+akira but I really love it

What makes this even funnier is if you’re a rich guy and do this the actual poker players will shower you with praise and stroke your ego (especially when you win hands through sheer variance) and say you’re great and to keep doing what you’re doing because they’re just siphoning money from you and want you to keep it up. Like, that’s the original definition of a “whale” in the gambling sense

DeviantArt used to be the place I put new poses up three times a week. It was the best place to get consistent updates of new poses from me.
BUT NOW! I have a self-hosted gallery on AdorkaStock.com 🥰 It's a WIP (and there's a lot of work to do) but I like having my poses on my own site. 😌
You can sign up for my newsletter and get an email digest of new poses each week or once a month so you don't have to always remember to go check for what's new.
My long term goal is to have this gallery completely replace my DA archive.
Reasons for this move include:
- DA's enthusiastic support for AI
- DA removing categories making it nearly impossible to search for CC licensed images
- not being beholden to DA's future random TOS and API changes
Your support helps with this goal. ♥
Ways to support:
- Share my work with other artists!
- Support me on Patreon for just $1/mo
- Shop my Kofi store for pose ref packs and merch
Get all my links at my Link Hub. 🥰
Thanks so much for your support and happy drawing!

hey. to the fat person reading this who wants to transition or is transitioning. make your transition goals fat like you. please. the things you aim to gain from transition can be gained while fat. you can be/express your gender and be fat. there is nothing wrong with that, no matter what anyone says. i promise.
let yourself exist. let yourself be happy. you have just as much of a right as every other person in this world to do that, especially as you transition. it's okay. you're going to be alright, and you're also going to look fucking awesome. you already look fucking awesome. it's your body. own it.

As someone who grew up with "I'm not going to praise you for doing what's expected of you; that's not being good, that's doing the bare minimum" I want to encourage you to celebrate every little thing you can. Everything that takes energy and effort should be appreciated and you're allowed to be happy about trying.
