Everyone will not just
If your solution to some problem relies on “If everyone would just…” then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At not time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they’re not going to start now.

cis people love to compliment a trans woman by saying that she’s otherworldly and inhuman
compliments ive gotten from trans women today: i love your outfit! you look so cute! (humanizing, makes me feel good)
compliments ive gotten from Allies today: you look like the embodiment of positive thoughts (????)

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.
post so nice had to reblog it twice and force it down everyone's throats

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.
This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)
If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!
Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...
Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!
You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!
Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!
ALSO!!
YELLOWING!! Digital art is very blue-light based. Cold, clean, flat. But traditional art has warmth to it. Why?
Over time, paper gets yellowed with dust, oil, dirt, and nicotine from cigarettes! So colors got warmer. This makes art look pretty aged, on top of the slight toned papers and hand made/factory made inks they printed with.

If I told you to think of a Silver Age comic book, what image does your mind conjure? Chances are, you’re picturing a comic with bold lines…
Dang y'all like old art!! Here's a couple resources too for those who wanna learn some more :]
------------------------------------------
ADDITION: I KEEP MEANING TO MENTION THIS-- YOU CAN SET YOUR CANVAS TO CMYK INSTEAD OF RGB FOR BETTER COLORS! :D
CMYK is meant for printing, while RBG is a light spectrum color setting.
You can look up how to do this for whichever drawing program you use since it can change from program-to-program!
Ok, THIS IS AWESOME

While we continue to donate to personal evacuation funds, I think it is crucial to keep in mind that these individuals as well as millions more in Gaza are currently actively in need of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Keeping this in mind, and recognising that there is no way to know when the border crossing with Egypt will reopen, I think our attention should also be on raising funds for organisations currently on the ground who will have the widest impact on the lives of Palestinians who are still enduring the genocide in Gaza.
Below are some verified donation links of organisations that are currently providing assistance for the people in Gaza directly:
Food, water, and shelter
Taawon has launched a campaign to provide support in Gaza through food parcels, shopping vouchers, fresh produce, water bottles and shelter tents.
Watermelon Relief is a project initiated and implemented by a group of activists in Gaza, who work to provide aid to displaced families in Gaza through meals, support and activities.
World Food Programme (WFP) managed to provide assistance to more than 1 million people in Gaza in May by delivering food in shelters, makeshift camps and shops.
Life for Gaza is an initiative through which the Municipality of Gaza aims to provide basic necessities for the people of Gaza such as water projects, waste collection and the reconstruction of roads.
Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is working to plant farmlands in Gaza through their "Revive Gaza Farmlands" project, through which they had already started planting vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in Gaza.
Purchasing eSIMs is one of the only remaining ways to keep Gazans connected with the outside world, to get their stories out or even enable them to call for help after Israeli strikes.
The Sameer Project is a donation based aid initiative that provides tents, cash aid, diapers and formula for displaced families in Gaza.
Care For Gaza is an organisation that works to provide essential aid such as food packages and cash to deliver to displaced families in Gaza.
Palestine Children's Relief Fund, through their "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign, plan to provide essential medical supplies and treatments, as well as food and clean water.
The UNRWA has an Emergency Appeal for Gaza, where donations will provide families in Gaza with lifesaving food and water, winter kits and to repair UNRWA shelters.
Mutual Aid for the People of Gaza is a fundraiser managed by Mona in Gaza, who personally purchases and distributes basic supplies including food parcels to families in Gaza.
Help Gaza Children is another grassroots effort operating on the ground in Gaza to support families with food, water and clothing.
Medical care
Palestinian Red Crescent has been on the ground in Palestine since 1968 as part of the Red Cross & Crescent movement. They have had a continuous presence on the ground in Gaza as the main source of medical care and assistance.
Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provides medical supplies and supports healthcare services in Gaza.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provide medical and humanitarian aid in Palestine and have had their teams on the ground operating from MSF-supported health facilities across Gaza.
Gaza Wound Care is a medical team in a tent in Nuseirat, providing care to children and supporting pregnant women.
Children Not Numbers is an NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the children in Gaza including delivery of medical aid and medical evacuation for children.
Dressing as the witch may seem like more like Pincushion's thing, but he couldn't resist the ironic appeal of being the familiar.
THIS IS DISGUSTING
the UK government has slipped another bill to destroy childrens rights and digital privacy under the radar
It's called the "Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill"
childrens NHS numbers are going to be used as a SUI (single unique identifier) id, which is sold as a safeguarding tool but has no clear safeguarding benefits
it will be "used across services"
this potentially means that advertisers and shady companies could get access to data of every child in the UK, including NHS records, other health records, school records such as attendance rates behaviour records and potentially grades, and other stuff that should be kept private
it could also potentially be used for police profiling
from what I can tell, it will be created for every person under 18 with an NHS number without that persons consent, or even their parents consent. NO FUCK EW NO. THAT JUST SCREAMS SHADY.
I read something about confidential and sensitive data being allowed to be shared more easily"for safeguarding purposes". Not good.
there is also a compulsory children not in school register.
this could prevent homeschooling for vulnerable and disabled children, and could also harm children who use school as an excuse to escape an abusive situation/seek help, as it will make any absence from school visible
It's unclear whether children or parents will be notified when the child's digital id is shared
privacy conscious parents might not register their children in services like education and the NHS, harming children who would otherwise have been able to access those things
What can you do about this?
It's currently in the committee stage in the house of lords, so time is running out to oppose it.
You can oppose by signing this petition if you're a british citizen:
We call on the Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. We believe it downgrades education for all children, and un
and you should also make as much noise about this as possible. Spread the word, the government will be less likely to pass this if there's a hell lot of backlash about it. Do everything you can, write to parliament if you're able, because once this system is in place, it will be very hard to get rid of.
PLEASE REBLOG!!! SPREAD THE WORD!!!
