Changing my URL and disabling author portraits (you'll figure out who this is eventually) because my friends with more followers than me agreeing with me has generally lead to a lot of harassment and I don't want to lose my entire art blog to some bullshit
we've already had another post blow up lmao
"Toxic yuri" is a very context-dependent term because half the people using it are clearly picturing some sort of subtle psychological warfare and the other half seem to be describing the girl version of whatever is going on between Batman and the Joker.
It's important to have one medium you are pretentious about and another medium that shows you also have dogshit taste

Kilroy is actually the most terrifying machine lifeform ever holy shit.
the best part: he's nothing but flesh and blood! thanks for appreciating him. he freaks me out
He only has his "weird" face on when he no longer sees a need to appear human. It usually also means that the witness is not going to be a liability much longer.
hello I have modestly larbe boobs and a lot of peoblems
#’modestly’
H is only a large cup size in theory!! They just look proportional to the rest of me because everything else is ALSO big!!!
taking the word "transgender" out of my URL really increased engagement with my exceedingly few original posts THAT much???
Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people
please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

In hindsight it's very insulting to be told that flunking out of college due to adhd is actually "quite common"
just like, if there's a history at your institution of disabled kids not being able to make it you realise that's your fault right. like why don't you fucking do something about it. i guess they tried to do something about it with me and it failed so they let me go. crazy. nice work. why should we try to do any better.
only 5% of people with adhd who go to college finish a degree. FUCKING. FIVE!!! PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!!
that should disgust and enrage you.
if any other demographic of students had a 95% failure rate, we would be demanding reform and studies to understand why that’s happening
when i was at my first university, trying to get accommodations for my ADHD, they just kept asking me what accommodations i wanted, and refused to answer when i would ask what was available to me. how the Hell am i supposed to know what i can have? what’s available???? also, i don’t know!!!! i’m an adhd sufferer, not a fucking disability expert for the fucking college, unlike you, DISABILITY EXPERT WHO WORKS FOR THE COLLEGE.
but because the us is OBSESSED with making sure no one gets anything “”for free””, she literally would not tell me what my options were until i broke down in tears and asked her why she was refusing to help me. and then she did a big sigh, like i was fucking up her entire career by *checks notes* asking the disability center in my university to help me, a disabled student
at the second uni i went to, i tried to explain to a dean that i was literally two gen eds that had nothing to do with my degree away from graduating and that i was burnt out and broke and exhausted and suicidal and i just needed to be able to finish my degree without the gen eds. and this. fucking. guy. looked me right in my face and said in the most patronizing tone he could muster “if you can’t handle it, then maybe college just isn’t for you.” keep in mind that up until that semester, i had been an honor student who made Dean’s List every semester and didn’t get below Bs. if it hadn’t been for my mental breakdown, i would have graduated cum laude, maybe even summa cum laude.
but this dean of students looked a disabled person right in the face and said well i guess you just can’t do it, short bus
Pulled these from a couple articles really quick but yeah the statistics are not kind. I remember writing a scathing essay about my issues with ADHD and college as part of an assignment for academic probation. I got back an email calling me entitled and lazy. Somehow, this thread helps me feel a lot better. I still have about a semester of school unfinished that I’m unsure if I’ll finish but… yeah. Makes me feel better to know it’s not just me.
PSA: The Job Accommodation Network maintains a searchable database of accommodation suggestions for a wide variety of disabilities.
The full database can be accessed here and the ADHD page is here. The full database can be filtered by disability, by limitation, by work-related function, by topic, and by accommodation. Many of these accommodations are applicable to academic settings as well as the workplace.
Here are the section headers for ADHD accommodations ideas to give an overview of what the page contains - this post would become Do You Love the Color of the Accommodation if I attempted to list them all here
The ADHD page linked above also includes case examples and strategies for determining what sort of accommodations might be necessary. More broadly, the JAN website as a whole is a treasure trove of information related to the Americans with Disabilities Act and resources for both individuals and employers.
Oh fuck that's really nice, I will read it
Also just heard a podcast interview with a software developer who had good suggestions
Do you feel like ADHD is holding you back? Maybe you don't personally have ADHD but you work with folks who do and you'd like to support the
Women. You agree.
If I said it’s a bit strange that when people imagine a trans woman they always picture someone extremely early in their transition would you understand what I mean or would you choose the worst faith possible interpretation of what I am saying
I don't even necessarily want to call it transphobic. I know that transphobia does not need to be actively performed out of conscious malice, I know internalized transphobia is a thing, but um.
No, I think the fact that people around here so often picture a young white woman, one who has not been on estrogen very long, usually straight sized or even skinny, when they hear "trans woman" is more than one thing. It's a lot of things at one time.
Please don't leave this in the tags, this is actually DIRECTLY parallel to what I'm angry about.
I just want people to interrogate their beliefs a little. What does someone mean when they say a character doesn't "look trans" enough? In many cases, it may just be valid criticism. Much like the examples you've given here, people who are not trans women do in fact struggle a lot with drawing trans women of more than one "look" very often. Too often, you could even say!
However, in many conversations, I see criticism of art depicting trans women by trans women get accused of making the girl "too clocky" or "not clocky enough" and people give the instructions to draw the incredibly specific portrayal of trans womanhood I described earlier in this thread. "Her boobs are too big" or "This just looks like a cis woman with a penis" (so do lots of people in real life...)
Sometimes, it feels like people don't want to see art depicting trans women at all, at least not if it has the audacity to cover the incredibly diverse range of shapes, sizes, and shades they can actually be.
What I was vaguing in the original post, though? I'm a comics artist. The leading lady in my next series is going to be a fat, biracial trans woman. She looks like trans women I know. Several of them have told me they felt seen for the first time when I first revealed her design.
I have also repeatedly been told I should make her boobs smaller, her face more masculine, her stomach flatter, her entire body smaller, etc. by people who DON'T LIKE ART OR EVEN PLAN TO READ THE COMIC!!! The trans woman in question is also dating this "platonic ideal" image of white trans womanhood that everyone keeps instructing me to go off and draw: small titties, "strong" features, big nose, all of that. That character also consistently gets more positive reception! THAT character is constantly held up as positive trans representation!! I can't help but notice!!!
All character designs are composed of a string of decisions. I do think that these decisions need to be made carefully and deliberately (and to be criticized when they aren't,) but I think some of these conversations, as I started this post by saying, go in a very strange direction...
rarely do i repost things and especially from shittr but this video is shutting down core partsof my mental processing i think
