abortion is a fundamental right. but our conceptualization of reproductive justice cannot begin and end with abortion rights. it also has to include the right to make an uncoerced decision whether or not to have children.

reproductive control – e.g. forced sterilization and the trafficking of marginalized children – is a bog standard tool of colonialism and genocide.

there are a lot of people who consider themselves anti-capitalists who are altogether too comfortable with the implementation of systems to redistribute poor people’s children to the wealthy

i have this hot take with age verification that I'm not only against it because it's intrusive and gross to adults, I also just don't think it's fair to kids and teens either. preventing kids from seeing anything explicit on the internet is basically just a stepping stone to trying to blinker them to the struggles of marginalised people and understanding the world.

and off the back of that, i have an even hotter take: you won't stop teenagers wanting to see explicit stuff and it's not worth trying to. you should be trying to prevent them interacting with adults who might try and take advantage of them through them sneaking into 18+ spaces, not blocking them from privately figuring out their sexuality

I want to preserve the internet that I enjoyed when I was younger. Maybe that's just nostalgia but I think not letting kids discover weird stuff online is a bit like not letting them play in mud. If you shelter them too much they never develop an immune system or get the enrichment that you had when you were younger. Does clicking a box that says I'm 18 stop anyone? Of course not, but it does make you responsible for what you're viewing, and I think that's a better system than forcing everyone to scan biometrics or some shit just to exist online or anywhere. Don't let privacy be something that our generation and older got to enjoy but they also get to pull up the ladder on and decide that others don't deserve that.

Well said!!

[weedle-testaburger]

@curiousauthor exactly! that's the thing, you can't and shouldn't try to police the internet in that kind of repressive way, and less invasive ways of keeping adult and minor spaces apart where it's sensible to are a way better solution than forcing adults to give up extremely sensitive personal info and minors to be babies

Did a few more of my bad tacky Daki sketches on this sheet. The hardest angles to draw his face in are the front and slight quarter head turns because of his funny semi angular head shapes. Tackling the biggest features first I feel is the best approach like that big upside down triangular nose... Its a good thing I love wrinkly faces.

I see a lot of Chameleon, Iguana, typical Dinosaur, and a bit of mammal in there with the hairs. Almost looks like my lovely Tortoise in areas haha

kids of color, you’re allowed to get a bitey when a white friend does something racist. literally 0 percent of people of color are obligated to be nice and palatable for white people. holding your tongue in the name of kindness doesn’t really do much in regards to stuff like this because white people are going to see you calling out their own racism as unkind anyways. white people, if a person of color comes off as aggressive while calling you out for racism, just fucking listen to them. they’re not coming from nowhere, and believe it or not: they know more about racism than you do! shocker, i know. just thickskin it, because it’s really not about you.

theyer old enough that they used to connect 

[finnglas]

They're older than Florida. The Floridian peninsula is the solidified runoff of the Appalachians that got caught on some coral. It's why we're like this, I think. You don't stand a chance of being normal when you were created by the shed skin of an elder god draping itself over a hollow skeleton. You're always going to be a little Off.
