[iamjustverypassionateaboutbees]

It’s SB289 and it says that medical professionals (doctors, nurses, therapists/counselors, physical therapists, surgeons, etc.) can refuse treatment, testing, and a lot of other stuff due to their “ Conscience.” This includes prescribing hormone medication for trans people, prescribing contraceptives for people who need that, treating a person based on their sexuality, and withholding testing for HIV among other things based on their personal beliefs. They can refuse to treat, see, test, diagnose, prescribe, and counsel. The bill is currently on Governor Hutchinson’s desk awaiting signature

[j1sheath]

The trans sports ban passed, the healthcare refusal has passed. The last item is the extreme healthcare ban. Please continue to advocate against that. Chase Strangio is an ACLU rep who has been collecting info about all of these bills and how to fight against them. All photos are tweets that are on their timeline.

It is trans week of action & there are still more states you can help fight these bills in like South Dakota & Alabama.

Hey jsyk it’s 2018 and if you’re still drawing characters with big lips like THIS, even if they’re pale/not black, it’s fucking racist. Stop doing it.

No excuses. “It’s a stylistic choice!” It’s a RACIST stylistic choice.

“Idk how else to draw big lips!” That’s because you relied on racist caricatures and are a bad artist. Teach yourself. Learn. If you’re not willing to do that, then you are a bad, racist artist.

“But it’s part of the character design!” Yeah, and it’s racist. If it’s your OC, then change it. If it’s not your OC, make the right choice and draw them with normal looking bigger lips instead of this racist monstrosity.

And if this post makes you uncomfortable because it’s calling you out for stuff you’ve done, good. Fix it. Own up to it. Grow.

If you see this and you’re first thought is to defend this: you are racist. You are part of the problem. Congrats. Now work on yourself and unlearn that.

[mizgrownnonsense]

Here’s how to do it right:

[mizgrownnonsense]

(some troll gave me shit about only providing overly “feminine” examples. I would have been happy to ignore them…but there are so many great examples on how to draw perfectly acceptable (not racist) full-lipped male characters, in the end, I couldn’t resist.)

[mizgrownnonsense]

Since this is making the rounds again, I’m reblogging the version with both sets of examples.

Boost!

[blackwoolncrown]

I just would like to take a moment and ask y'all nonblacks to think about what this does to a community. Just like, think of the general systemic effects for a moment… Thanks.

destroying the police unions means cops who do this get fired i would like cops who do this to get fired, wouldnt you?

Oh hey I haven’t yelled about voting in a while

[dancinbutterfly]

Reposting this because some of y’all need a reminding.

[prismatic-bell]

Another reminder:

VOTE YOUR WHOLE BALLOT.

A Democratic President does nothing if Congress is controlled by Republicans. Your local elections are important, too. (It took us 20 years, but you notice we don’t have issues with our sheriff out here in Phoenix now we’ve voted out Joe Arpaio.)

Don’t skip any. Look up names on your phone while you’re in the ballot booth if you have to. VOTE YOUR WHOLE BALLOT.

[dinosaurrainbowstarfish]

A PSA because a lot of people don’t know this: You CAN take your phone into the ballot booth, no one will stop you. You CAN google names from inside the ballot booth, no one will stop you. The only time you can get in trouble is, in some states, if you take a photo of your ballot. You CAN also take a long time voting. There are lots of booths usually, don’t worry about the line if you need to think about anything. Voting is not a high school exam. You’re allowed to bring your phone. Please do that in case there’s something on the ballot you don’t understand!

[elliesgaymachete]

You can also register to vote by mail! That means you can use google and take all the time you need to fill out your ballot! I don’t know how it works in other states but California specifically has made voting by mail extremely easy and hassle free and most people I know vote by mail.

[crutchie-with-a-y]

VOTE GUYS PLEASE GOD

[herbgerblin]

Big Thank You to the content creators who have managed to produce anything in the past few months. And shoutout to the content creators who cannot right now, and are taking the time to find other outlets of mental/physical/social security. I’m rooting for you guys, take care!

“young adult dystopian novels are so unrealistic lmao like they always have some random teenage girl rising up to inspire the world to make change.”

a hero emerges 

[inkgut-deactivated20180603]

And just like in the novels, grown men and women are going out of their way to destroy her. Support our hero.

[freifraufischer]

And it’s not even like it doesn’t happen regularly.  

Teenage girls are amazing.

This isn’t a coincidence. Revolutions almost always happen when the population of a country is at its youngest and that’s a lot more true nowadays with social media.

[2am-theswifthour]

Claudette Colvin was actually the first one to refuse her seat in Montgomery, Alabama to a white passenger. The movement chose to promote Rosa Parks as the figure for that form of protest because Claudette was a pregnant 15-year-old girl.

Barbara Rose Johns was a 16-year-old who organized a student strike protesting segregated schools. This strike, after gaining support of the NAACP, became a lawsuit that turned into Brown vs. The Board of Education and resulted in the desegregation of U.S schools nationally.

7th-grader Mary Beth Tinker, disturbed by the Vietnam War, decided to wear an arm band with a peace sign on it in protest. Her school suspended her. Her family filed a suit, Tinker vs. Des Moines, which reached the Supreme Court and ruled in her favor, ensuring that students and teachers maintain their right to free speech while in school.

Freddie & Truus Oversteegen were sisters who joined a Dutch resistance movement in WWII in their teens. They lured, ambushed, and assassinated Nazis and Dutch collaborators. They also blew up a railway line, transported Jewish refugees to new hiding places, and worked in an emergency hospital. 

Our history books may like to showcase male figures, but behind every movement is a young girl ready to make a change. It was true then, it’s true now, and future generations of teenage girls will go on to inspire progress, whether they’re credited or not.

How I draw skin Part 2: DON”T DRAW NATIVE PEOPLE WITH RED SKIN!!!! A tutorial

For the first tutorial on how I draw skin, see the post here.

But seriously, I’ve seen too many drawings of Native characters with literal red/pink skin to count so just in case some of you are having troubles with drawing Native people, I’ve provided a guide for you. Please take my swatches if it helps!! and no more red skinned people, please <0<

Disclaimer: this tutorial is mainly about the artistic depictions of Indigenous Peoples in North America, where the slur and redskin caricature originated, but it would still be racist to draw other non-North/Central/South American Indigenous groups like this so…..don’t.

[prismatic-bell]

It’s not mentioned in this tutorial, but I’ve seen it in other posts by Natives, so I’m going to mention it:

When seeking out your refpics, do your best to find Natives ACTUALLY FROM THE TRIBE YOU ARE DRAWING, or at least from the same geographic area. Not all Natives look the same.

This person is Diné (Navajo).

This person is Blackfoot.

And these people are Iroquois.

Do you notice something here? Wildly different skin tones, facial shapes, and overall body types? Native people are INCREDIBLY diverse.

Make sure you’re representing the correct tribe. Don’t draw a Blackfoot woman as a Hopi woman or an Inuk man as a Wampanoag man. Natives don’t “all look the same.”
