I think arts funding should be infinite and easily available to everyone. I think 13 year olds who only draw anime should receive funding to buy giant sets of copic markers and shitty local punk bands should receive funding for instruments and practice spaces and performance artists should receive funding for their weird and nonsensical projects
opens box that reads "i wanna draw again". inside lies a note. the note says, "mental illness and difficult circumstances have taken years of interest, accessibility, and skill away from me. i want to forgive myself for that. i want to heal my relationship to my hobbies. i want to feel connected to something that once made me feel good, but the cyclic discouragement is difficult to overcome." i turn over the note. on the back it reads "wannta drawe sexy bodies awooga"
I just remembered my second Pride, where I made different flag themed daisy chain bracelets/necklaces to hand out. I need folks to understand something:
They were free.
They were fucking free.
They were maybe ¢60 of acrylic yarn each at the most, and the whole ziploc bag of them took 2 hours max.
Three people gave me sad eyes until I took their money.
Someone who was clearly the mom friend of their group made me take a $5 and gave a 10 minute pep talk.
At least four more people insisted on getting change to pay for the, once again, free bracelets.
In spite of all these shenanigans, the absolute best was this one person who I can only describe as, “queer surfer dude who looks like a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend.” I can remember nothing of the outfit, only the impeccable vibes. I did the same thing I did with everyone else, explaining the bracelets were free, and they nodded along as they took the last 6 strand rainbow bracelet. As soon as they had it on their wrist, they pointed at something over my shoulder and, like a fool, I looked.
Next thing I know, they’re running off cackling, yelling, “YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME!” and I’m holding a fucking $20. I had to stop at least two people from chasing them, cause they thought the person stole something, and then they tried to give me money cause they thought it was funny seeing me flail over people being Too Nice.
That was the year I got reverse-robbed at Pride. I hope everyone out there is having a good time and, in particular, that queer surfer dude is out there still causing benevolent chaos.

informed consent for medication needs to include interactions with common recreational drugs, i think
most meds these days will only tell you 'limit alcohol' and wont even make a mention of weed (though if this is different in places that have legalised it i'd be interested to know). and they never tell you specifically why you should limit alcohol and thats something everyone should have the right to know
because i was terrified as a teen getting on the meds im on now, thinking i would never be able to drink and that i had to forgo taking my meds for the day if i did. then i learned that all my meds did was to increase the effects of alcohol and that the 'limit alcohol' warning in that case was more just a 'you will get drunk faster than you are used to'
but in other cases, such as with some antibiotics, the 'limit alcohol' means 'if you drink more than a little, this medication will stop working'
and some meds are actively dangerous when taken with alcohol/other drugs, putting you at risk of getting very sick or just dead
but every single time all you get is that little label saying 'limit alcohol'
anyway, i will once again shamelessly promote my favourite harm reduction website in the whole world, the drugs.com interactions checker. standard boilerplate applies that 'this isnt a substitute for medical advice from a professional' but its sure as fuck better than nothing
serious question, is it possible to imagine plant liberation? what does that look like?
Yes, and it's necessary. Based on my reading, it would involve a lot of the same practices I believe will enact multispecies liberation for all animals, including humans: returning indigenous land worldwide to its rightful stewards, and engaging in practices that deprioritize human "wants" in favor nonhuman needs. Getting rid of lawns, dechemicalizing our outdoor living spaces, radically minimizing production and consumption of plastics / nonbiodegradable materials, etc. etc.
Like / linked to all forms of liberation, plant liberation is interdependent. It means that the plants we need to eat deserve places to grow not strewn with trash, cleared for development, drilled for oil. It means grazing animals get to eat plants that are thriving rather than dying from wildfires or chemical sprays, or suffering for lack of pollinators. Basically, it means climate justice on literally every level, and the end of the machinations of industrial capitalism. It means abolishing Dole and other extensions of us empire that decimate communities + ecosystems via the extraction of labor and resources. it is literally impossible to imagine justice for anyone, let alone multispecies justice, without abolishing capitalism, because to commodify something is to deprive it of agency, and thus of worthiness as a justice-seeking subject.
So...not only is it possible to imagine plant liberation, but it's inextricably linked to EVERYTHING.

THIS IS WHAT FUCKING HAPPENS WHEN YOU FORGET TO RINSE THE TUB OUT AFTER USING A LUSH INTERGALATIC BATHBOMB!
He’s fine. He got a bath.
Lush glitter is made of seaweed.
I hope you don’t mind but I drew your cat
i mean, this is pretty much the pinnacle of all things good and bright. a glitter kitty.
The void now has stars.

The Appendix: Transmasculine Joy in a Transphobic Culture - Liam Konemann
Transmasc: "Because of the societal association with housework and chores being 'women's work', being asked to do them can sometimes make me dysphoric, especially if a cis male sibling is not also being asked to do so, I think-" Person with 1 brain cell: "So you're saying you shouldn't have to do housework or chores because you're a man and it makes you ~feel bad~? lmao, as if anyone needed any more proof that trans men are definitely men. Go wash some dishes you misogynist." Transmasc: "...I think that the solution to this is probably to continue to normalize housework/chores as something everyone does and something that should be expected of people in equal measure..."

Émile-Antoine Bayard - The Duel; and The Reconciliation (1884)
This duel with rapiers would have taken place in the Bois de Boulogne, with the combatants, their seconds and friends all women of the class so familiar in the works of Alexander Dumas. The duelists removed their clothing above their waists to avoid infection in the event that a sword pushed clothing into the wound it caused. In 1884 Bayard exhibited the dueling painting An Affair of Honor at the Salon which traveled the world to great acclaim. The artist followed it with a companion and sequel The Reconciliation which depicts one of the wounded cocottes being comforted by her antagonist as a second summons for the distant coach. (source)

it's ironic that in people trying to make a more inclusive definition of lesbian, it accidentally turned more exclusive. instead of going "exclusively liking other women and sometimes nonbinary people" or whatever, they went with "exclusively loving non-men." i get it was going for a more simplified and easy to understand definition, but it ends up leaving out nonbinary people who are multiple genders in some sense, like bigender or genderfluid. which. i don't think that was necessarily the intention, but the effect's the same tbh. if you're going by an exclusive definition of lesbian, i feel like there's much better ways of putting it than using "non-men"
UK petition: Legally recognise non binary gender identity
Yes, it is time once again for the biannual official UK petition to recognise nonbinary genders in law! (Official UK government petitions only last 6 months.)
You can sign if you’re living in the UK, or a UK citizen living anywhere. If you’re not in the UK but have followers who are, please consider giving this a reblog.
Sign here!
Have non binary be included as an option under the GRP (Gender Recognition Panel)/ GRC (Gender Recognition Certificate), in order to allow those identifying as non binary to be legally recognised as their true gender identity.
Parliament debated this topic on 23 May 2022 and announced that despite public support, there are no plans to amend the Gender Recognition Act 2004. This Government claims that it wants everybody in the UK to feel safe and confident to be themselves. Without legal recognition, non binary individuals are actively discriminated against by our Government. The right to marriage or civil partnership, for example, is unavailable to non binary persons.
The deadline is 13 June 2023.
There are 164 signatures so far, and at 10,000 we get a response from the government, and at 100,000 we get a debate in parliament.
You can also see a graph of the signatures on this UK petition signature tracker.

Thanks, folks!
my heart goes out to every non binary, genderqueer, gnc, neutrois, maverique, xenogender & other gender person who has to fly under a binary trans label (trans man or trans woman) for cis people to understand that you are trans. i am non binary but had to tell cis people i was a trans man for a decade before non binary issues started becoming well known. it's not easy. hang in there though, whatever you have to pass or present as for safety or comfort does not change who you are inside.
