I painted the Dot and Cleo kiss from my Afterlife sketch dump because I’m still thinking about it and Cleo’s hair is always fun to paint!

Iconic that Third Person took the sci-fi/fantasy staple of “don’t question the weird power source” to its logical conclusion, “everyone is fundamentally incapable of questioning the weird power source”

Thanks for reading,

This is the 10th Anniversary Edition of "It's Not A Race." Originally released in August, this version is months late because the prospect of adding pages to what is easily my most read works was particularly daunting.

I wanted to post it again unattached to the original so I could display it the way it was meant to be seen. Blessings, -J

I do appreciate the the collective response to unend season 3 has pretty much been:

"I want to see Dot grow as a person and learn to be happy"

"I want to see Cleo grow as a person and learn to be happy"

"I want to see Merlin completely break under the pressure and implode in a ball of bocular fire"

I think one of my favorite things about listening to Midst/Unend is that, beyond the actual story (which is absolutely fantastic), it makes me think so deeply about forms and formats and mediums, and how much you can play with it. Like, I genuinely think that there is no other format that would work as well as audio/podcast for Midst, and a lot of it comes down to the fact that Third Person plays into it deeply and unapologetically, and they're always using the tools of the format in favor of the story, and in ways that are always fun and unexpected. And like, my preferred format for my storytelling is writing, but every time I listen to a new episode of Midst/Unend it makes me want to explore all the ways in which I can play with the writing format to make my stories more fun, and tbh, I think that's cool as hell

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.

[cyberlesbiab-deactivated2021052]

and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”

but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?

The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this

[bitterbearsf]

My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.

[internutter]

Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.

Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.

If you haven't seen Unend season 3 episode 13, you shouldn't be here. I hope you know that.

I've been trying so hard over the past nine hours to understand the different perspectives on this episode. I know when it hits the Youtube crowd, it's going to split a lot of opinions.

Personally, I adored this episode. It felt like the culmination of so much of this series' ideals, a masterclass in cosmic horror, and the tragic yet natural next step for Merlin's character.

I truly believe that what Merlin experienced was Realization. In this case, the Realization that there are things in the cosmos that are impossible to understand. What you do with that knowledge is one of two things:

You release control and accept the journey - accept that there are things you cannot know. This would be the final step you need to become a Mother, for understanding the borders of what is safe to know is the best way to protect others from it.

You can fight to maintain your understanding of the world - double-down in your belief. That would mean you were wrong, and you can't be wrong. This isn't fair! There must be an answer! Either find the answer or make it yourself. This would be the Dark Sonia route. Become so nihilistic that the only possible escape is recessing into memories, and in those memories, be consumed.

Honestly, it parallels so much of what I'm seeing of how fans are reacting to this newest episode. Some are accepting it as it is, others are fighting against it and attempting to rationalize it as a trick.

If nothing else, it feels like a Realization for the audience; a test to see if they take Artifice's advice to heart.

Nothing to do about it now except move to a new islet and get a weird haircut and go through a crisis period, like people are supposed to do at our age. I’ve been wanting to do that for years. You– you wanna do it with me?

still thinking about them. always thinking about them 🖤🩷🩵
