Monochromatic and colour value work.

Assignment done first in charcoals and then in soft pastels.

My first time working with soft pastels so it really shows how much practice I need to do in this medium.

dystopia au where we are all assigned one of two chosen genders at birth

[peppylilspitfuck]

Thanks to ultrasounds, the genders can be assigned before birth.  The people are so excited to conform they throw “Gender reveal parties” to make sure their offspring exist in a strict binary since before they can even form thoughts. 

[slightlykylie]

Children are color-coded according to their binary assignment. 

[darkersolstice]

One of the genders is seen as inherently inferior.

[yothobro-deactivated20200505]

This all sounds really effing creepy when you put it that way

#BECAUSE IT IS

[fuckyeahfeminist]

And if you deviate from the assigned gender you can be disowned by your family, fired from your job, and beaten by authorities.

This is like one of those YA dystopian novels where you’re born as one of the bads or one of the goods

i get why people don't believe in marriage as a social construct but legally it is the best and easiest way to say "this is who i trust to take care of me when i can't take care of myself" and i'm so glad gay people fought for that right bc when shit gets scary at least i know im in good hands

[dawnthekitty]

People don't remember how one of the worst things to happen to someone in a same sex relationship was having the love of your life hospitalized and all of their medical decisions put into the hands of family they'd cut off years ago. Of having no right to attend, much less plan, your wife's funeral because her body was released to her next of kin. Of not being able to say goodbye because her parents told the hospital you were not allowed to visit.

Marriage equality is so important.

Hoping someone here might be able to help me identify this old rigid heddle loom.

I'm looking online to no avail.

It's not a Beka as I have a Beka as my main loom and this is lacking the teeth on the beams that Beka is known for.

As far as I've seen, no company used the style of heddle block that this one uses.

RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.

HAPPY AUTISTIC PRIDE DAY!

Mushroom embroidery finished after six days and two of my favourite Sapphic romantasy novels The Honey Witch by Sydney J Shields and How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days by Jessie Sylva.

Tale as old as time...

hbo max blocks screenshots even when I use the snipping tool AND firefox AND ublock which is a fucking first. i will never understand streaming services blocking the ability to take screenshots thats literally free advertising for your show right there. HOW THE HELL IS SOMEBODY GONNA PIRATE YOUR SHOW THROUGH SCREENSHOTS. JACKASS

[parkayquarts]

somewhere out there is a guy who meticulously takes screenshots of every individual frame of his favorite tv shows and then painstakingly etches each one onto a roll of film which he puts into his old timey projector and recreates the footage as a silent film with his own lavishly hand-lettered dialogue cards and original score that he plays on his upright piano and charges audiences one shiny penny a play. at last, big media has finally outsmarted ol' Zachary Zoetrope

[theheroheart]

PSA for everyone who doesn't know, explained simply

this is NOT because of blocking screenshots, it's because of HOW streaming sites use your computer's hardware to optimise performance, which means the thing rendering the video and the thing capturing your screen aren't the SAME thing. so they can't talk together.

you can fix this by going to your browser settings, searching for "hardware acceleration", and turning that off.

[team-thickness12]

This also fixes screen sharing to other screens. It has been GODSEND

[lucarleigho]

type this in the toolbar to find this setting in firefox: about:preferences#searchResults

[mctreeleth]

ol' Zachary Zoetrope is back in business!

[autistpride]

This is Daniel. Drawing his skeleton was my schoolwork for the week.

My kids said it looked like a chalk outline of a dead body that was murdered.

So now I need to know... How was Daniel murdered?

Okay, this made me pause and literally write out every letter that 'fell' in order (‘oomngouuhhrsrtutpntnue’), then make sure they were all contained in 'turntomushuponthergroun'.

They are, and it's very satisfying.
