Hey, anyone here interested in a Pay What You Want commission? I tried answering a few inquiries on Twitter and apparently they all thought it was a bot with stolen art 🙃
I know I don’t use this account at all but the character limit on Twitter is making me crazy but I’ve been meaning to make this post for a while now. Maybe I will start using Tumblr again for art and story stuff at some point. For now its just for long posts I guess....
Ok so, I’d known for a while now that my aunt had cancer. I was traveling for work but came home once in a while to help take care of the yard and other things that needed to be done around the house. I took a month off during the middle of the year for the same reason only this time when I came home I found out it had spread to her brain. During the month of July, she lost her ability to walk and eventually stopped talking almost altogether. I contacted a friend who is an LPN and they guided me through the whole process. I became my aunt’s main caretaker since I knew which pills she needed as well as being the only one in the household that could lift her from her wheelchair/bed. She passed away a month later.
She was the only person I felt understood me in my family. We were both gay and there was always an unspoken understanding that we had, I didnt even know how important that was until she was gone.
This month, one of my best friends growing up also passed away. I regretted not trying to reconnect with her. It felt like we kept meeting up at different points in our lives. After elementary school we kept in touch through after school programs even tho we went to different schools. She invited me over to meet her bf in highschool and I used to babysit when she had her first kid.
I also had to quit my job bc it will be impossible to travel now. I now own part of a house with my siblings and have my own house with a tenant. I want to be happy bc I know my aunt left me a lot but I just feel depressed and stuck. I’m attempting to get some kind of health insurance bc I need to see a therapist and possibly go back to school. Sorry this is all over the place, I’ve been trying to think of how I was going to word this and I thought I might as well try to write it down now before I procrastinate again
If you guys see random weird art/posts occasionally it’s usually me just uploading stuff real fast to my tumblr so I can download it on my phone or use it as a preview on other sites (and forgetting to click post privately) idk if I’ll post here again but maybe if the site stops flagging and taking down all my sfw stuff
Moving to Twitter
My username is the same as here, I’ll be reposting Derserted Planet stuff there and hopefully I’ll have some new art to share soon

Eighth Generation is what modern Native American design looks like without cultural appropriation
Louie Gong describes his company, Eighth Generation, as “a Native-owned, community-engaged small business that began when I started putting cultural art on shoes.” It’s true, in 2008, Gong began decorating sneakers and skateboarding apparel with indigenous Nooksack patterns — a move that, as a Nooksack himself, set him apart from the non-Native designers who’d been doing so for years. As demand grew, so did Gong’s ambition.
Here you go, kids!
How to procure Native-American-and-First-Nation-themed items without entitlement or cultural appropriation in one easy step.
BUY THE THINGS DIRECTLY FROM THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES.
Because if they’re selling these representations of their culture and being fairly compensated, you’re not appropriating, you’re appreciating. And helping good folks make a living while you’re at it.
Everybody wins.
^^^this is the difference. participate in the parts of culture that people CONSENT to sharing!! it’s that simple, if you buy directly from the source, they are creating with the idea that people outside the culture will be consuming, and can pick and choose what they are okay with you having.
the same idea as wearing traditional dress that someone of that culture gave you as a present vs. buying a knockoff version for “fashion”
I’ve used this argument for a long time as a difference between appropriation and appreciation. If you are buying directly from the people of that culture you are supporting them in keeping certain practices and talents alive. They are choosing what they share while making a living from their work. You are supporting them, while enjoying their culture. This is not only okay but it can really help people from these communities.
With appropriation, you are taking money away from the people. While mocking everything they stand for, and giving money to big companies who only care about profit, and have no understanding of the people they are stealing from.
Eighth Generation is awesome! They ship fast in addition to having gorgeous merchandise. Five stars.
I appreciate everything in this post

(yes ok that was obvious but c’mon, we’re all lazy here)
me as a horror film director looking at the monster’s character design: it needs more eyes. also, give it more teeth. and a jaw that unhinges. and, uh, a really sexy voice. an obscenely hot, deep, sexy -
character design team: sir,
Welp… i made another one.
Meet Xochi (Sho-chi) with the power over the flowers and plants.
Last submission from @ironlover64, this is an amazing animatronic gargoyle at the Denver International Airport. He seems to be remote-controlled/voiced for interaction with guests, and pokes fun at the various conspiracy theories surrounding the location. I wish I knew who built this guy; all I can find is that they commissioned for him to be built.
Also, I love this kid’s face. (And shirt!)
