Call me Badger, or any name you know me by. I’m a lesbian artist and even lesbianer homemaker. I spend my days making art, and taking care of the home for my wife. This is my personal blog where I collect images I think are neat and generally try to have a nice time on the computer. Have a good life 🐾

I made the “welcome” and “about me” graphics on this page myself. The rest are from “gifcities” or from Pokemon Crystal.
I wish I could make this blog my main blog and the art blog (which is currently my main blog) my side blog… Hmm… 💭 Maybe I will gut my main blog and make it an “empty shell” that redirects to this blog. Perhaps!
i think we need to be able to understand that there is a very important web to navigate as artists
Yes, No Ethical Consumption Under Capitalism exists and it means that it'll be very hard for you to cut off every source of suffering from your work. Traditional materials such as cotton, paints, the plastic things come in etc could only be cut if you yourself raised all of those materials and processsed them yourself, same with the materials for digital tools such as tablets or ipads
Acting like your art product is cruelity free or 100% handmade even if youre doing things like handmade posters and stickers is very silly.
While the two above points hold true, the usual reaction of artists who are told this is that they can then do whatever because its all "bad", but despite everything in our world being connected to capitalism and exploitation, that doesnt mean you should not try to reduce exploitation.
You may not solve the issue of the extraction of cotton and woods for your canvanses, or how heavy metals are extracted for your new tablet, but you can at least avoid directly interacting with manufacturers and supply chains that are harmful and exploitative to make your products. You can attempt to reduce the harm and the people affected in your wake. You're not cutting off a limb, you're letting go of a convenience offered to you from a position of privilege.
i refuse this world view of "everything sucks so you should let artists do whatever you want"!!!!! I absolutely hate it!!!!! Stop being apathetic, stop it!!!!
being black in any art community is such a strange feeling cause you’ll see just blatant racism being expressed in others art and you have to just casually ignore it, for your sake if anything, colorism being something that’s just fundamentally there in every artist and you deal with it cause it’s not worth it in the end to even think of it too hard let alone even mentioning it, it’s definitely something
When life is inevitably awful and uncertain, it is difficult to remain upset for long when there is still laying in bed with wife at the end of each day
any time a man exhibits any positive trait or behavior it will be attributed to his "healthy masculinity", but this is especially true when the trait/behavior in question is something traditionally seen as feminine. when a man does things such as caring for his children and spouse, being gentle, or being nurturing, it will never prompt the average person to reconsider their stance on men being Feminine let alone the idea of gendering behavior to begin with. it will only ever result in the concept of masculinity being laundered in real-time to subsume any and all qualities a person generally regards highly. we can not let 'masculinity' be a rhetorical stand-in for being an admirable person, even if we stick the word 'healthy' in front of it. if we concede that we need a special term for being a decent human being As A Man then i fear we concede the most basic premise of feminism alongside it.
