MEET THE ARTIST

Hey, my name is Victoria or Vic. I am an aspiring animator who made this blog after high school when I lost a good chunk of an old art portfolio.

So this is kinda my "archive"

More about me: I'm 25 with experience with almost every Adobe program, I am very good at editing and have even made an independent animation in high school. I also have experience in HTML and Ren'py coding, I worked on a personal dating sim project. I am also very musically inclined, and last but not least, I am very interested in cartoon production!

Send an ask if you feel like it

friend of mine recommended a video essay that's like 5 hours long about why it's currently a whole Thing for fascists to claim they only eat meat and demonize vegetables etc etc, and it's genuinely quite well researched in many places and contains some fascinating history and has made me feel very weird about my status as an adult who enjoys drinking milk. but I've not finished it and I genuinely don't know if I will because at one point the ol' "you can't say you care about animals and also eat animals" chestnut got dropped by the white vegan essayist and it put such a bad taste in my mouth that I had to leave instantly

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

like idk man it just feels genuinely parodic to dedicate hours to analyzing how foodways have frequently been used as white supremacist propaganda and then casually toss out an argument that pretty invariably demonizes indigenous hunting practices with 0 regard for traditional knowledge and land stewardship guiding those practices

Every time I hear a white vegan say that I want to throw the rubble of the Klamath Dams at them.

The largest dam removal in U.S. history. So successful that the salmon that haven’t run freely in the river for literally over a century came back the next year. Not steady progress over a decade as expected, the very next salmon run they came home. No one alive saw salmon in that river outside the hatcheries kept by native’s tribes and the Department of Fish And Wildlife scientists desperately trying to save them. One of the activists who helped bring the suit spoke of their dying grandmother making them promise to bring the fish home, and they didn’t know how that was possible, but they spent decades doing it.

The legal basis for successfully suing the power company who owned the dams was Indigenous treaty rights to eat the fish. Eating the fish was the one thing in a century that succeeded in being a clear and legally binding right that superseded the desires of white capital and industry. I have been going to the public interest environmental law conference off and on for 20 years where a lot of organizing for Undam The Klamath happened. I’ve heard updates about every legal tact they tried as they happened, and they tried everything.

There are healthy, thriving salmon, trout, and lamprey in a rewilding and recovering Klamath River right now as a direct result of Indigenous people eating them. Of their legally binding right to eat them. They sure as fuck care more about those fish than any white vegan ever could. They are salmon people that the Creator sent Salmon to feed, while charging the People with protecting and stewarding them. It’s not possible to learn about salmon and trout in the Pacific Northwest without learning this, and it’s unambiguously racist to dismiss this symbiotic relationship.

The white vegans are trying to get all hunting and fishing banned in Oregon, and that’s quite possibly the single most catastrophic thing that could be done to the animals here because we killed off all the major predators of creatures like deer and without anything hunting them their numbers will explode, eat all the vegetation, destroy the ecosystem, and then die along with everything else in that failing ecosystem. Controlled hunting of deer is vitally necessary for the deer to survive. This is something Native people know, but patronizing racist savior-complex white people refuse to listen to.

I have a whole collection of Oregon’s Public Broadcasting’s documentaries about Klamath River or the larger story of fish and people in the region. If you watch nothing else, watch Klamath Dams Are Coming Out, First Salmon Ceremony, After The Dams, and First Decent (Native made). It could not be clearer that the salmon are being protected and nourished by the people who eat them, and that stewardship is a massive part of their creation myths. But it contradicts political vegan dogma so they don’t listen.

#also do you have any idea how much conservation is funded by people who want to eat those animals#at least in the us anytime someone buys ammo or hunting equipment or hunting licenses that money goes directly to state wildlife agencies

Let's be honest, we all knew this was coming considering how scummy Nintendo is. The ability to transfer Pokemon all the way from Gen 3 to Gen 9 is going to be gone forever soon.

This is why Pokemon transferring should've never been tied to an online cloud service. Nintendo is way too cheap to keep the servers running for more than a decade.

Having your interests mocked as a kid and general low self esteem will have you insulting the things you like even when they're generally considered very good. Because you like it, and historically when you like something it's stupid and not worth anyone's time. So you will say nonsense like "I recommend this book/game/film, but it's okay if you hate it, it sucks, I really enjoyed it but that's because I'm an idiot" and you are recommending them the Citizen fucking Kane of that particular media type. And importantly: you need to stop doing this it is killing you

Man, my pokemon BW2 I got at release at 12 is finally bumming out on me. Super depressing.

who even is this guy

[notawesternspy]

I don't mind "TMA" as a term to mean "people who are primarily targeted by transmisogyny, that being trans women, transfems, and certain intersex women." I don't think it's the best term, but I don't think it's really my place to criticize

but "TME" isn't really useful of a term at all. While yes, the attack on trans women is the most prominent at this moment, it would be denying reality to ignore that this is affecting ALL people who are queer or read as such.

Trans men and transmascs, all intersex people, all nonbinary people, all gnc people, anyone who has ended up outside the strict dichotomy of gender the patriarchy has laid out, can and will be affected by transmisogyny.

I don't really care that it's "misdirected" (it isn't) because if somebody robs my house instead of my next-door neighbours, it doesn't matter if I "wasn't the intended target" because I was still fucking robbed.
