Happy Pride Month from my garden to yours 🌈

Saw this on Twitter and I obligatory need to share it

So she actually said that she does not see the appeal in Senshi at all and that the panty shots weren't intended to be horny - she just has a neighbor who looks kind of like him and does laundry in his underwear. Which she finds kind of weird and offputting, and put into his character to be funny.

But that's the thing. She doesn't exaggerate or grotesqueify or alter people's bodies to fit some standard. (Except insofar as she draws different species differently, and those are exquisitely practiced to ensure they have the same diversity of appearances that humans do.) She just presents people exactly as they are, complexities and oddities and all.

It just so happens that when you present people exactly as they are, what you present will be beautiful and alluring to many. Even the things you yourself might find weird and offputting. Honestly I think it's a touching example of how you don't have to see the beauty in everyone for the beauty to be there, simple honesty is enough to let the wonder of people's humanity shine through.

#i think we should put this post next to the interview where she said she doesn't want to eat the food in the series cuz she's a picky eater#and file them both under 'you don't know an artist from their work'#and maybe you don't need to!#maybe all you need to know is that ryoko kui is Good At What She Does#idk I don't like the implication that artists (and women especially?) can only create from personal life and feelings#some people have imagination and craft#kind of a tangent but. there you go.

no but you're very correct

Keith Haring's story is usually told as a solo rise, but that version leaves out Angel "LA II" Ortiz, a Puerto Rican artist from the Lower East Side who collaborated with Haring from the very beginning. Angel was a teenager when they met, already active in the neighborhood's graffiti culture. He taught Keith how tagging worked on the street, painted alongside him, and guided him through spaces Keith did not come from. Angel's tags, infill, and visual language appear across works that later became associated with Keith Haring's public legacy.

After Keith Haring's death, the story changed. Museums mounted exhibitions, publishers released books, and merchandise entered the market under a single name.

In that process, Angel Ortiz was framed as hired labor instead of a collaborator, even though his work remains visible on paintings, sculptures, and objects shown in major institutions today. Angel has said openly that race played a role in his erasure, and photographer Clayton Patterson has explained how institutions chose a simpler version of the story that centered one white artist and removed a Puerto Rican collaborator. Angel Ortiz is still working as an artist today, and the time has come for the art world to give him clear credit for the work he helped create…yuliaxgon

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

I wish people Did Stuff more often in modern fantasy photography. It feels like 99.99% of the time the models are just standing there looking pretty with their arms slightly raised and maybe holding a sword, which is all well and good individually, but so bland and monotonous when there isn't anything else. I wanna see elves and fairies that have jobs and hobbies and are doing things. Like spinning yarn or weighing seeds to sell to a customer or playing chess or darning socks or baking or gossiping while knitting. I wanna pose as a fairy janitor with a leaf apron, and a mop bucket made of a walnut shell. Also the fairy shopkeeper who's weighing the aforementioned seeds should have sleeve garters.

Writing letters, hanging laundry, gardening, wood carving, arguing with a pedlar (people love a tall fantasy backpack covered in objects!), playing instruments & singing, doing each other's hair, drawing each other's portraits. Get dressed up and take baskets to a u-pick orchard and get some nice apple picking shots. Do a vignette of a dwarven dentist's office with a patient getting a tooth extracted and a concerned friend holding their hand.

A professional with a large stock of costumes (or several friend pooling their own collections) could stage a dress shop or secondhand clothes market scene.

I should make a lot of large fake leaves so I can be a fairy tailor with rolls of supplies in the background. That's much more easily doable for me than a walnut shell mop bucket.

Looking at bugs with a magnifying glass and taking notes. Washing dishes with a prop bottle brush made to look like a single dandelion seed. Sharpening your fancy daggers or polishing your armour. Tiny little Pride parade along a forest path, with painted leaf shaped flags and banners. Lawn bowling with giant berries or hazelnuts, throwing horseshoes, children skipping rope or playing hoop & stick or any number of other historical games. Fishing. Reading a map. Carrying wood, chopping wood, building & lighting a fire.

Property sale scene where you take pictures in front of a cool looking building and the models are pointing and looking, and then shaking hands, and then exchanging a bag of coins for a key & property deed. Wouldn't even need to get inside the building for that! And it'd work just as well if the building was abandoned and falling apart, and the creatures dressed shabbily.

Shoe shining is quite an old job with a very simple setup that's portable and can be done pretty much anywhere, and newspaper seller is another good one. Think of what fun it'd be coming up with headlines for the prop newspapers! Maybe a wrinkly old wizard could buy one and then go read it on a park bench and feed the birds.

Doing each other's hair includes beards too. How cute would it be to have dwarf and/or wizard friends braiding each other's beards?

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

five random social “skills” i learned due to life experience

it’s okay to bring up your own experience when someone is telling you about their experience, as long as you circle it back to them. “is that what you mean? is that similar to your experience, or was yours different? what did you think of xyz?”

follow-up questions are always okay! when someone is done explaining something to you, ask them something along the lines of, “so, I just do this & that? / and then [result] will happen?” soo many people will appreciate your effort to understand and it’s also a good way to end a conversation instead of the slightly awkward “oh, okay, thank you– yes, thanks. got it! thank you.”

remember the details about people to refer to later. even if it’s just small talk. if you think it might be awkward, you can casually be like “wasn’t it you who told me about this..?” which indicates that what they told you was, in a way, important to you.

never underestimate the power of compliments. not only will you make someone feel good, but chances are they’ll expand on the conversation by adding where they got something, how they feel about something or simply how much they appreciate you noticing.

make kind honesty a habit (even more so than brutal honesty). tell people about the things you admire about them, express your gratitude even when it’s for mundane reasons, give advice to help others be better and not just to be critical, take a moment to tell someone you appreciate their presence, conversation, etc. be open and generous with your love and watch it find its way back to you.

I'm not multigender because I think it's "radical" or special. I don't call myself a fagdyke because I think it's fun to say slurs. This is my gender, and it's just as real and personal to me as yours is to you. I am so tired of seeing posts which throw around the spectre of the boygirl fagdyke as someone to be mocked and belittled and not taken seriously, this idea that we are just here to have fun and "look like gremlins," the constant implications that we are choosing this lifestyle because it is fun and easy rather than that this is just a fact of our life which causes people (like you!) not to take us seriously. It's just blatantly transphobic. I'm sorry that you need to take shots at someone else to feel good about yourself, but it is disgusting behaviour.

[ratbastarddotfuck]

be so real with me now. these people don't see me or people who share my identity as the 'right' kind of transgender so they feel they have free reign to take potshots. they think it's cringe and annoying that I exist the way I do. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be transgressive, I'm just literally multigender and trans. I want to survive, get my hormones, and be happy & trans just like you do. Why is this gender presentation seen as such a threat that there's an entire genre of metaposting dedicated to complaining about it, including derisively using genderqueer terminology?

on top of this, acting like being multigender is some frivolous "TME" trait is wildly transmisogynistic! holy shit! I wouldn't identify this way if I hadn't met transfems doing it before me, they're a vital part of my multigender community. You'd throw them all under the bus just to get a shot in at those of us who are "TME"? I'm genuinely disgusted.

[ratbastarddotfuck]

like, how bold and brave of you to admit that you don't take a group of people whose gender presentation is mostly viewed by larger society as "extremely hairy, socially inept woman" seriously. wow. we should give you a purple fucking heart and a 21 gun salute. maaaaajor truth nuke, you know those hairy fagdykes with big boobs have just had it too good for too long.
