2026 - 2025 - 2024 - 2023

in spite of it all, happy 2026 pride.

you can download current and past hi-res versions of these over at my ko-fi (ok to print for personal use): https://ko-fi.com/mxmorgan/shop/freedownloads

you can also snag shirts here which go to various orgs: https://mxmorgan.threadless.com/collections/pride

these get reposted a whole lot from here to reddit to twitter to tiktok and on and on, and i don't personally care whether or not i'm credited. i made these for everyone to use, enjoy, and find meaning in them. i appreciate folks who do credit me, but if able, please at least link to the threadless shop in the previous post - folks can get an official shirt where 90% of earnings go to trans led orgs focused on mental health (which is an important matter in general, but very personal to me) and not from a scam bot site selling AI-churned maga garbage where you probably won't get one anyway. i also suggest downloading the files from my ko-fi - they are free/PWYW and you can use them to make your own shirt, patch, embroidery project, whatever. tips are always nice, cuz i do like a pizza now and then, but never required for download.

final thought - breaking the pride tradition and more than likely won't make a new piece. the top one from TDOV is all i'm making this year. i have my focus on other projects currently and i don't want to force a poster design. these came from a specific head space and my current head space is Very Tired lmao so i wanna work on other things. 👍

honestly this dog just reads to me like she has a surprisingly stable base temperament (from what I've seen in the situations we've been in so far,) but hasn't experienced a lot of things before. i think if someone was fostering her who didn't know how to read dogs, they would assume she had a bad history due to how uncertain and hesitant she is about a lot of things that we consider "everyday," but I can see quite clearly it's just a lack of exposure. all of her hesitancy is like "whoa, I don't know, this is a big place with a lot of people and its really wide open (parking lot) I need to spend five minutes standing here taking it all in before I'm ready to move on with you," but most people wouldn't give her that and would make it into a fight. most people would make getting in and out of the car into a fight. this is how poorly socialized dogs become Problem Dogs a lot of the time, I suspect. most people are looking to dominate a dog even if the techniques they are using are coercive rather than based on physical force. and of course there are some things we require our dogs to do or not do in order to live with us in our homes. but that doesn't mean we need to Assert Authority by overriding their autonomy when they don't "do what we want." dogs are like us. if we don't learn that things are safe when we are younger, then we need to have someone hold our hand thru learning that they're safe when we are grown up... like she just needs someone to hold her hand and be like "I understand it's a lot to take in, its ok, I won't rush you or pressure you and if you don't wanna go in then we won't, but it IS a safe place/object/etc and I won't let anything bad happen to you" but that is just mind blowingly rare as a way for people to treat adult dogs who weren't exposed to anything as puppies.

it makes me think a LOT about how whether or not a potentially traumatic event develops into PTSD often has more to do with whether the person is receiving social support and understanding about their experience. what Fantine is going through rn has the potential to be quite traumatic, for reasons largely outside of my control -- but I can make sure that she feels socially supported during what's going on.

sigh. i wish all dogs were looked after by people who cared to learn how to speak their language. :/

#This goes for dogs; people; and a lot of other animals too.

BLENDER HAS BEEN ORDERED!!!!!

#Brilliant news Brilliant news!! Swimsuit too!!

Whoa hang on. I just read your response to the temp worker and I was thinking about if I had anything to add and I realized this: what I’ve had the best success with is adding like, authenticity? To the typical social scrips. Like fully meeting people’s eyes, specifically a warm smile, laughing at the right time, stuff like that. You know, the things I do when I’m specifically masking very hard. I think people might treat autistic people as though they’re doing flattening of other people thing even when we’re not because we can struggle with emoting “properly”

(Disclaimer of I just thought of this and haven’t finished chewing on the idea, but I was curious for your thoughts)

that's totally correct in my experience! i think this is very often a component of autism communication problems. its part of why I always find myself being shocked when I'm believed about something important. I read an autism thing somewhere, yeeeears and years ago, about how if you read those "how to tell if someone is lying" checklists as "this is often how people behave when they really need you to believe them" and that also kinda blew my mind bc yeah. the desperation/appeasement that we frequently have in social situations? people can sense that and they assume the reason is that you're hiding something a lot of the time. they don't realize how high stakes the situation is in our minds. <- applies to many issues which result in social anxiety.

Welcome to the party, new follower

Also, I always feel kind of weird talking about health stuff here or complaining here. Like. It always feels kind of exposed. But the alternative is doing it in people’s DMs and I think this is leagues better.

I am trying to keep it not too over-sharey, not to vulnerable though, trying to keep it somewhat short.

I’m posting a lot rn because I’ve gotten particularly sick again, but I AM working on posting less over here as well when I’m not in such a… state.

Plus, Most of my posts are definitely not really being seen, especially not by everyone who follows me over here. And that’s not many to begin with.

#Sideblog too so I always have the option of password protecting it or closing it down if I especially need to for one reason or another #rambly rn because I am literally just waiting around for people to wake up and simultaneously really bored and not well enough #to do anything.#Am gonna go find SOMETHING else to do though

Honestly? You know what? It is genuinely miraculous I am as functional as I am. And I’m still making art and shit. I am not particularly capable of being proud of myself but like. I am doing amazing work over here. I am still upright half the time. And I personally think I have miraculous patience considering all of the everything.

Thank-you.

#I am slowly losing that functionality but whatever the fuck #theres hope #I am HOPEFUL about the breakfast smoothies #I am miserable and whatever but look I’m STILL GOING #??? like #I’M STILL HERE #AND AM ABOUT TO HAVE ANOTHER BIRTHDAY #ANOTHER YEAR I HAVE MADE IT.#Oversharing to cope over here.

Is there a planned date or time for the character card templates to be released? (The one with username, who i attack, characters i have etc.)

Team card templates will be posted after the theme is revealed! That would be after 8 PM UTC on Sunday, June 14th.

Shopping for anything long term sucks. At least fridges and microwaves don’t have too much going on with them to mess up. A blender seems weirdly more complicated though.

Don’t really want to get a full sized blender. Small things is kind of the goal. Worried about power though. I’m reading that Magic Bullets have trouble chopping up frozen items and ice? That’s .. not good!

I suppose… not that I’m really using ice… but still… frozen stuff is an iffy one. Mm..

#I’m tired and sick and just want to share my struggles heee #*here #I love my little fridge and my microwave at least #I’d really like my blender to be blue to match; preferably a light blue #the hope is that the blender is going to be a game changer for my eating; hopefully hopefully…

So, I decided to actually give reading project Hail Mary a go and.

Why is it written like this. I feel like I’m reading something off of like, a non serious fanfic. Or an eat pad ‘original story’. The writing is so??? In-interesting???? Basic??? People are falling in love with THIS??? R.. really??

I’m starting to think Tumblr just. Has really bad taste. In everything. *head in hands*
