the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

Happy mermay, loves! It been a hot second but I decided to once again make Iara, after so many years. This time she is accompanied by a variety of fish found throughout the amazon 😌

Since it's been so long, here's her tale! The myth has some variation here and there, as most myths do, but my favorite goes as follows: 

Iara was the best warrior of her tribe, loved by all and constantly congratulated by her father, the Pajé [tribe leader]. One day her brothers (who envied her prowess and all the love she received) secretly decided to kill her in her sleep, but Iara hears them, and in the dead of night kills them when they come for her and flees, afraid of her father’s judgement. Livid, the Pajé hunts her down, and once he finds her, decides to throw her at the confluence of the Rio Negro and Solimões rivers as punishment for her brothers deaths. The fish in the river [or also often the Tupi Moon Goddess, Jaci], however, couldn’t let such a fierce warrior die so easily, so they take her up the river and turn her into a mermaid instead.

A quick drawing of my RPG OC, Ester. She is the polar opposite of my other OC, Aosoph, having a loving rich family and no traumas whatsoever lol.

everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegänger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.

Construtivism and cool/warm/mixed palettes exercises for my Introduction to Painting class at university.

I really struggle with acrylic paint, it dries so fast! I don't know how 11 year old me worked with them. Also, the blue paint is soooo patchy I don't know how to fix it.
