Being “uneducated” about issues like Palestine 5 months in (even though this has been going on for far longer than that) after every piece of information, images, etc., that is readily available, is willful ignorance at this point.

As a former incredibly traumatized charter school teacher (I was young and dumb and regret it sooooo deeply), watching charter schools get absolutely bodied on Abbott Elementary is so healing.
Like those parents booing the charter rep off the stage had me tearing up.

[ID: A collection of black and white sketches showing everyday objects that are haunted by little creatures. These creatures fill in gaps with black space and white dots for eyes /End ID]
As some of you might’ve seen: I’m no longer posting art on Twitter, so Tumblr is now the only social media I’ll be consistently posting art to. However: I’ll also be posting it to my website and possibly other social media platforms in the future.
I also post monthly sketch pages to my Patreon (April’s is on this post) with early access for Patrons, and I’m hoping to add more things to it soon!
Thanks everyone for your support (your tags mean a lot to me!) and I’ve put more of my thoughts in the tags.

i’m so done with this shit. i don’t want to get political but
why do people (namely in the sp community) insist on censoring israel and not palestine? like here’s the deal. i support the free palestine movements. i acknowledge everything that is going on in palestine
but you also have to acknowledge october 7th. you have to acknowledge what went down in its entirety. yes. i support free palestine. but here’s how it’s gonna be for me. if you wanna talk to me about not wanting matt and trey to make an episode revolving around israel and palestine, you either censor one or censor neither. i would be saying the same exact thing if people were censoring palestine and not israel. i don’t care if you ‘don’t want the pro israel people to find my post’, i don’t want either side to find my posts. i’m not fully educated on the issue and i don’t feel like getting into political discourse.
so that’s my rule. if you wanna send an ask in, you either censor both of you censor none. and yes. i get that this doesn’t directly affect me since i don’t belong to either religious/ethnic group. but it does affect people of those groups when you turn an entire group into what you view those involved in the war is. it may not affect me but it affects others. and i don’t stand with that. i don’t care which side you take in this conflict but i am not into the discourse that’s been going on in my inbox. i’m not fucking dealing with it. if it has the potential to hurt someone it’s not going on my blog and it will be deleted. i don’t care.
anyway. end of story. either censor both or neither. up to you. or don’t engage at all.

Louise please rant to me abt your Harry styles hatred
NOOOO I STARTED WRITING AN ANDWRR TO THJS AND MU FUCJING TUMBKR CRASGEDDDD now I have to start over. ok.
1) his stupid fucking pants. he wears these high waisted pants with absolutely no shape to them and it just looks goofy. like. if high waisted, why no waist? the fit of them is not flattering at all which is ridiculous especially considering he has a team of fancy stylists working for him. which leads me to my second point, everything he wears looks like it was put together pristinely by designers and has zero personality behind it. this can also be said about most celebrities, but if you’re wearing more extravagant pieces that you have no connection to and cannot pull off, let’s be real, it’s gonna look like a costume rather than a piece of art that you put your soul into. and I realllllly hate seeing someone make a costume out of an art form i’m passionate about. not only that, but all the fancy stylists still make him look like shit. maybe they’re just trying to modernize it, but part of what made glam so great was the extravagance and over-the-top too-much-ness of it all, and i think trying to fit that into a modern minimalist fashion (which i hateeee but whatever) approach isn’t paying it a fair tribute. they literally took away her sparkle. on a more personal petty note, I hate that whenever I wear things that are glam-inspired people think i’m referencing harry styles. it makes me want to kill. i definitely have more thoughts about this but this is all i can think of right now. lol.
this doesn’t even begin to cover other things, like the praise he is given that he doesn’t deserve, but i’ll keep this to the topic of outfits bad. anyways stream diamond dogs by david bowie and roxy music self titled ✌️😚✌️

2nd message into a conversation w someone here and i was indirectly being asked what’s in my pants bc they wanted to know “what kind of person they were talking to”
… as far as i’m concerned i’m just a trans guy and that’s pretty obvious. but “what kind of person” just made me feel like more of an object.
i’m not one for call out posts unless it’s something REALLY bad so while i won’t be saying who this was, if it wasn’t already obvious, please NEVER ask not even just trans people but ANYONE what genitals they have.
i didn’t know it was necessary information to have in order to, not even just engage in tickles, but have a conversation first??? like damn.

sometimes i forget that not all people know about the (love) letters between Dostoevsky and Walikhanov. so, i want to share a couple of quotes from those letters:
Shoqan Walikhanov to Dostoevsky, 1856: ‘Those few days spent with you in Semipalatinsk are so dear to me, that now I only think of how else to visit you. I am not a master in writing about feelings and attraction, but I think there’s no need. You, of course, know how attached I am to you and how I love you.’
Dostoevsky’s response: ‘You write so tenderly and affectionately, that it’s like I see you in front of me once again. You write to me that you love me. And I announce to you without ceremony that I’ve fallen in love with you. I have never felt such an inclination for anyone, not even excluding my own brother, as I did for you, and God knows how it happened.
There could be a lot said here in explanation, but why praise you! And you surely and without proof believe my sincerity, my dear Walikhan, but if one were to write 10 books on this topic - they wouldn’t write anything, feeling and attraction - are inexplicable things.’

Feel free to skip on past this, I’ve just gotta ramble for a minute bc i cant stop thinking about this kid from work last week. They were so much like me at that age (5-6th grade) that I didn’t know how to interact with them? I didn’t know what to say to them bc I don’t know what I needed to hear back then, what I would’ve WANTED to hear? What would I have even listened to? They were almost entirely silent and looked out at the world with a hesitant curiosity, but would pull back so fast as soon as you tried to interact w them. Little to no eye contact, face hidden in hair, always looking down, following others until they could strike off on their own and just quietly explore. Intently focusing on drawing any chance they got. We did an art project and they hunched over their piece the entire time and wouldn’t let any of us see it in progress, refusing to look up or acknowledge us if we asked to see it or to know what it was. Idk. I barely interacted w them while they were with us for those few days bc I didn’t know how? It almost hurt to try? It was like looking back into a time machine and i didn’t know how to tell them that it does get better,,, I still don’t even know if where I am is better, some days feel so unsure that I don’t think I’ve made any progress at all. But seeing that kid, idk. I’ve come pretty far. And it DOES get better. Maybe it’s not the best now, or even that great at all, but it’s better. I wish I could’ve told them but I don’t think they’d have wanted to hear it anyway
