I am BEGGING y'all to get put and vote in the midterms. The Republicans have been so incredibly open about what their roadmap is, and it involves shit like this and a whole bunch of other horrific shit.

The midterms matter – possibly more than the presidential election. The midterms are what decides what the president has the power to do for the remainder of his term, and you can either give him democrats who will work with him, or Republicans who will blockade everything he tries to pass, and who will then work together to usher in Trump 2024.

Please for the love of everything you hold dear, get out and vote in November, I am begging you.

It’s not just trans stuff, the wording could easily be applied to basically any queer issue. Republicans are literally trying to make it illegal to be queer in public.

They’re actually calling it the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act of 2022, which isn’t fucking loaded language at all. Far-right pundits and politicians will revel in being able to say of the bill’s opponents “[Insert Ideological Enemy Here] is against stopping of the sexualization of children!”

The text of the bill complains of those dirty “newly implemented sexual education curriculums encourage discussion of sexuality, sexual orientation, transgenderism, and gender ideology as early as kindergarten” and calls on the prohibition of Federal funds or facilities being used to “develop, implement, facilitate, promote, or fund any sexually-oriented program, event, or literature for children under the age of 10.”

The bill defines “sexually-oriented material” as “any depiction, description, or simulation of sexual activity, any lewd or lascivious depiction or description of human genitals (yeah that was totally happening in kindergardens 🙄), or” - and here’s the important bit - “any topic involving gender identity, gender dysphoria, transgenderism, sexual orientation, or related subjects.” (source)

They are absolutely equating the mere existence of non-heterosexuals and trans people as something sexually explicit that young children must be protected from, and much like Florida’s “Parental Rights” bill, this one would also empower parents to sue private individuals, organizations, and even government officials who “exposed” their children to anything that has to do with queer people.

There’s no chance of this bill making it out of the House right now, but this is absolutely a statement of intent by Republican legislators to their base that if they can take back Congress, the surge of anti-LGBTQ laws and hate-speech that have been running rampant across state legislatures will be nationalized.

Only one party is doing this. Republicans and Democrats are not the same.

Do you know if you'll ever sell Tapestrys again?? I was big into your art in middle and highschool, and just found you again. I'm purchasing a few prints and shirts from you, but remember you had tapestries at one point for the wolf hotel (?) And some other eerie artworks. I would buy them up immediately if you ever drop it again!!!

Oh hey I never stopped selling tapestries actually! They're just not on my main print shop! I haven't made it super clear though so I apologize — head over to my Society6 page and you can get tapestries, blankets, all kinds of house decor stuff featuring my art ♥
