so. there was definitely an easier, quicker way to go about making this snapping turtle puppet that i’m only half done. but i didn’t have a clue what i was doing when i started it and it’s too late to change my course of action now. so we’re doing it the hard, long, complicated and mediocre way.
progress pics on the shell for my snapping turtle puppet. this was my first time ever using paper mâché btw
regular paper mâché (that i should’ve kept going with) then i tried paper clay (FAIL) and then i covered that using spackle, which i have since smoothed out. tomorrow i will paint it and start assembling the body.
i realized i never updated anyone on the puppet. here’s mikky in all her glory :) perhaps i will post the video (entirely in anishinaabemowin) in another 3 months lol

I'm not seeing any naked adults in that screenshot...
...There's something deeply messed up about how breasts, which are used by our species to feed babies, are considered to be so perverse and obscene that a child should never see them.
There aren't any naked people in the entire video clip. There's some people that you'd probably see less of their skin on a beach, but only because on a beach they'd probably be wearing a bikini top as well as whatever else they have on. And this is New York City, where toplessness is legal regardless of gender or assigned sex.
Toplessness for breasts is legal in most places in the US, unlegislated in almost all that remain, and only illegal in two states: Ohio and Tennessee.
This is because topless equality has been a basic push from feminists for literally decades, until Radfems and NeoCons bonded over wanting a trans genocide less than a decade ago.
It's literally why the "no tits on tumblr" and other lesser SESTA/FOSTA consequences* like it were so jarring. It set back FORTY. YEARS. OF PROGRESS in the rights of people with breasts or perceived as women to wear the same clothes as people without.
Do not let conservatives lie to you about this. The majority of people in the us and the VAST majority of States recognize the right of people to not wear a damn shirt. It isn't obscenity, it isn't even nudity, it's just something pericis men are allowed that everyone else isn't.
Y'know.
Basic sexual discrimination.
*Y'all aren't still on that "it was the Apple app store that caused the tit ban" shit, right? It was the literal US federal government. To be fucking clear.
My last round of comms didn’t go awesome so trying this again!
Queer girl trying to keep savings in order needs cash for gas, etc. work will pick up again soon after my school is done in 2 weeks, but until then, if you’re looking for a sketch comm please consider looking my way!
This isn't even a slight exaggeration. JKR has openly given at least £70,000 to For Women Scotland to campaign against trans rights and fund this exact supreme court ruling. x x
Her anti-trans Crisis Centre in Edinburgh has the director of For Women Scotland on the Board of Directors. x
We can presume she's given more (financial) support off the record or in other ways.
Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone. x x x
It is a well-known fact that she earns net profit percentages on all her IP. Every time you buy any HP merch, from anywhere, she gets a cut. Every time you watch one of her films, even streaming or just on the tv, she gets a cut. Every time you visit Universal Studios or Harry Potter World, she gets a cut.
And she uses that money to do this. To strip trans rights at every opportunity.
untitled. something something cycle of life and inevitability of death idk. I had a lot of fun making this one :)

this piece was a final project for on of my classes this term. we had to make something that is a continuation of themes and processes we’d been exploring earlier in the class, so i decided to make something using transparent paper (the layer the black line art is on) and playing around more with themes of life and death, which have been occurring a lot in my art this year. northern lights and owls are symbolic of death, to anishinaabe culture. northern lights are the ancestors, where we journey to the stars when we’re done out time on earth. owls are messengers of death and spirits. and basically my uncle died and i’ve been working out some of my feelings through drawing. I used a charcoal pencil for the line art, on top of transparent paper, and then chalk pastel for the northern lights underneath. i really feel like i’ve been levelling up my approach to drawing lately and im soooo excited for future projects :)
I'm not asking for money... I'm asking for life. I'm asking for a chance to see my child open his eyes again, laugh, call for me... I'm asking for a chance to hold him without feeling his breath disappear in my hands.
My little boy, a piece of my soul, is fighting death right now. His frail body is trembling, his eyes are filled with fear, he's searching for me as if he knows the end is near... and I stand helplessly by his side, my heart crumbling, my soul torn apart a thousand times every second. The doctors said he needs urgent surgery, but death is faster than me... and money stands between me and saving him.
Imagine watching your child dying, and all your screams, tears, and pleas meaningless because you don't have the money... Imagine that life forces you to be rich to keep your children, otherwise death will take them from you mercilessly...
I am writing these words and my heart is burning, collapsing, dying before my child... Please, please, with every tear, every pain, every compassion in your hearts, help me with anything, with any amount, with any share of this appeal... Perhaps your hand will be the one that saves him before it's too late.
I don't want to lose him... I don't want to carry him to his grave knowing that the chance to save him was in your hands...
My name is Casimir, and I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Ahmed H… Casimir Reynolds needs your support for Help Ahmed Hammad Prov
Please, don't let me enter the darkness of eternal sadness. Don't let me live like a dead person while I bury him with my own hands...
