Guys, I would like to point out another important factor of what's going on in the USA the past few days/months.

A lot of websites are having more censorship. There's fascism. Shitty things are happening, yes?

You all know that because you live there. There was a 14 hour tiktok ban. You're sharing pictures, you're using rednote, you're expressing concerns. You're being ragebaited by AIs, put on watchlists, banned and flagged and more.

I only know this because I'm on tumblr, which so far doesn't seem to be censoring much. The more censorship there is... the less anyone outside of the USA will know what's going on.

Even within the USA, those not affected by certain things will become completely unaware of it's existence. Things like transgender bathroom right, disabled marriage disability, the cruelty of Autism Speaks or Salvation Army, all these things will be forgotten. Nobody, unless directly affected, will know what's going on. Allyship, to any minority, is going to massively sink. Advocating for any minority is going to become much, much harder.

If at all possible to any of you, I really reccommend getting out of that country while you still can...

And don't you guys dare like this without reblogging! Even if you're not USAmerican!!!!

A test comic page about my ocs, Alfie and Arjun

Idk if I'll color it, but I kinda like how it turned out

I made it in procreate, and used my own custom font (it still needs work lol)

I don’t choose ships. They choose me, and then destroy my life.

cw: U.S. government transphobia

So I just read (through tears) the disgusting executive order "Defending Women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government". I'm asking for help if anyone wants to join me.

They've already removed every webpage from whitehouse.gov that had anything to do with gender equality, and I imagine will enforce the removal of the specific pages listed in the EO across other .gov sites and anything else they find.

For the last several years we were told that "anything you put on the web will be there forever" and we're learning if you have enough money and power that can be changed.

I'm starting to archive resources and documents on an external hard drive in an attempt to maintain records of resources for LGBTQIA+ individuals. I'm keeping it out of the cloud to ensure no one can cut me off from accessing it. I'm utilizing archive.org to save the items listed in the EO and resources across the web at the larger organizations that may be targeted directly.

We learned with the shutting down of TikTok that our information can be turned off and VPNs won't work (if the account was created in the US it got turned off so VPNs didn't get us around that). After personally being hit hard from a security breach at work in January of 2023, I've learned, the hard way, that having physical copies of everything is critical.

We're going to need to create a physical copies of things. We're going to need to go back to creating zines, creating leaflets, to handing a physical document to someone to spread information. If anyone wants to help me, we could create a discord or even a tumblr community since this app is kind of flying under the radar at the moment.

I support us using Jeanne Scheper's Five Key Principles: Towards a Critical Zine-Making Ethos in the journal article "Zine Pedagogies: Students as Critical Makers:"

Repurposed Productivity

Critical Recycling

Anti-Copyright

World-Making

DIY Skill-Sharing

They can erase legislative progress but they can't erase us.

My God I've been seeing so much old man yaoi on tumblr and omg it's amazing

Books: Main characters must follow the plot.

Fanfiction: Okay but what if they went to IKEA and fought over furniture instead?

An assortment of various video game characters :3

so i finally switched from chrome to firefox, since ublock origin is no longer supported by chrome (i need an adblock i cannot live without it)

here's some of my general thoughts

firefox doesn't make my pc fan run as loud, and it doesn't use as much ram as chrome

i like that the firefox picture in picture has subtitles. i swear i can hear fine, i just can't understand what people are saying if i can't see it

the ctrl+f function is at the bottom of the screen on firefox, which bugs me a bit

youtube is a lil clunky, and if my computer goes to sleep, youtube won't immediately resume, and i have to rewind slightly to get it to work again

but i have ublock origin, so i give firefox a 9/10

chrome gets a 3/10

thank you for coming to my ted talk

After drawing kinger, I had to draw pomni too :3

I'll eventually draw the other members of the digital circus lol
