It’s that time of year! I wanna draw some cute animal girls in bathing suits! And this time I plan to do an entire series! How many? As many as I can before the summer ends honestly. Join in if you want! Maybe I’ll do some #DTIYS ‘s and feature some of y’all’s ladies 🤔🤔. I will also be asking for advice on thumbnails on Patreon there’s gonna be some construction going on over there while I figure out a set up I like😊 And lastly I’d like to thank you guys for your support over the years, I know I’m not always consistent but my goal is to make art my full time job so I really appreciate you guys sticking around. I’m making it my priority to be more consistent in my art in and off of social media sooo thank you and I hope y’all stick with me through the next few phases! 💕💕 . . . #nekogirl #catgirl #pinupgirl #clippaintstudio #clipstudiopaint #applepencil #ipadair #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/CbbbTdEs2ac/?utm_medium=tumblr
I’ve been doing a lot of anatomy studies recently, this is actually a few months old. I’ve been having a hard time finding time to draw so I’ve been trying to fit as many things into one drawing session as possible lol I’m not gonna lie my iPad files were a mess for a while there. However, I’ve come across a bit of some time recently so I’m getting a lot more done than I’ve been able to in months lol. I have a series of pinups planned for the coming future so stay tuned 🤔🤔 . . .

Wow, it’s been crazy since like September. I never realized how much switching jobs would change how much Art I could make. It’s crazy that I have to like scavenge time to even do basic things like cook and clean. Anyway happy belated Valentine’s Day, this is the art work I’ve been able to do recently and even that has to be broken up into different days lol. My partner has been my rock through all of this, pushing me to make the time and even yesterday sacrificing cuddle time just to let me finish these.❤️I love you baby, thank you for always believing in me 💕💕. I hope you Guy’s enjoyed your Valentine’s Day and got to do everything you wanted. Until next time💕 Right now I’m working on some commissions so if I get permission to post them I will❤️ . . . #❤️ #valentinesnails #Valentine’sDay #HappyValentine’sDay #nailart https://www.instagram.com/p/CaASx5kL2Te/?utm_medium=tumblr
The wrong Dodo went extinct
Wait, why???? The dodo is so cool.
So this is kind of a complex issue and there are far more qualified people discussing why the Dodo is problematic (see this excellent write up by @why-animals-do-the-thing https://blog.whyanimalsdothething.com/post/148060308477/please-let-trusting-the-dodo-as-a-source-go)
One of the main problems with the Dodo is something that is sometimes hard for people without a background in zoology to pick up on, and that is the extreme anthropomorphism of wild animals in their content. Anthropomorphism happens when we erroneously apply human behavior and morals to animal interactions, which might not sound like a big deal at first but is actually incredibly dangerous for both humans and animals. I have seen an article from the dodo claiming that a pet alligator “loves hugs” from his owner. Reptiles do not experience or exhibit emotions the way humans do, and to posit that any alligator loves hugging humans is an absolute recipe for disaster. This is far from an isolated incident in their content. They infamously posted a “heartwarming” video of a polar bear “petting” a sled dog with its paw and suggested that even polar bears can’t resist patting an adorable dog. They later had to pull the content because it turned out that the bear had killed and eaten the dog later that night. Polar bears do not see dogs as cute companions; this was an example of a predator/ prey interaction. If a viewer doesn’t have much background in the behavior of alligators or polar bears, they might accept the Dodos captions as fact, and walk away with a dangerously false perception of how these animals behave.
When we look at animal behavior through the lens of our humans experiences only, we do these species a huge disservice. We have to think critically when viewing animal content online, and do our best to try understand what the behavior actually represents. It’s also incredibly important to educate people and arm them with the knowledge to identify and call-out dangerous anthropomorphism in the media! It’s absolutely okay if you thought of the Dodo as sweet wholesome content- they’ve worked hard to cultivate this image for animal lovers. Now that you have some more background you will definitely start to see the troubling content more and you can work to educate others as well! I love videos of stray puppies finding loving homes, but until the dodo stops producing other videos with dangerous wildlife encounters I can’t in good conscience enjoy their channel.
just pirated my ethics textbook. was this wrong of me? who’s to say. i’ll find out soon enough

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:
[Brief clip from a previous video, which has the caption “When I have to send my husband to the store.” A white person is writing a shopping list. As well as listing the items and quantities, they are including what aisle each item can be found on, how much it costs and a painstakingly made little sticker showing exactly what it looks like.]
[The main video starts. A black person with glasses is standing in a bathroom, holding a toothbrush, talking to the camera.]
So that is a video of a woman, like, literally piece-by-piece word-for-wording what her husband’s trip to the grocery store for their household is going to be.
And I saw another creator stitch this video, talking about – I mean, they had a really dope word for it, and I can’t remember it right now, but it’s about performed incompetence and how, actually, what this husband is doing is exaggerating their own incompetence and exaggerating their own incapability, to force the labor that they don’t want to do (this husband) onto their partner, right – that their wife will hopefully be like, “oh my gosh, it’s just easier for me to do it myself so I’m going to do it myself, you’re good.” And now they’re absolved of the need to, like, contribute to the household.
So, actually, that performance of incompetence is an investment that that husband is making for his future self, if you know what I mean? It is like a patriarchal investment. And it’s two-pronged, right? One, you don’t have to do the thing that you don’t want to do, which is go to the grocery store, but two, you’ve set the expectations for your own capabilities so low that whatever you end up doing is incredible.
So now I’m going to do my favorite thing, which is to make it about race. And I’m actually going to say that in a parallel sense – like, that is a patriarchal investment that the husband is making into his future self, but I think that, actually, in the same way, mediocrity is a gift that whiteness gives to its own future.
You know what I’m saying? That whiteness performing mediocrity sets the bar so low that the generations that will eventually inherit the legacies of whiteness can do anything and feel entitled to, like, riches and fortune, right?
And we also accept that performance of incompetence, that performance of mediocrity, and then accept the bare minimum from whatever white person or whatever beneficiary of whiteness comes along and does [pinches fingers together] juuuuuuust more than we would expect from them.
And I think that, because of anti-blackness, it’s the opposite for black people. Right? Like, to escape the violence of whiteness you have to perform such excellence, and inherently the bar is constantly getting higher and higher, until you have all these superhuman black people who are just getting by.
Anyway, I gotta brush my teeth. Bye!
The teenager at my job is so funny, she jokingly asked how my break was after I came back from the bathroom and after I said "can't a bitch change their pad in peace?" She said "a real nine to fiver would get a hysterectomy." There was no hesitation, no gap between what I said and what she said
“Just remember, jumping on a regular bison and yelling “yip yip” will not make it fly. But you will.”
So I’m at a new job, for right now no iPad at this job 😩😩😩 but any way, here’s Dorthy from the great pretender!

I think there’s something off about the way this one turned out. And I don’t feel like I stayed true to the base idea I had for doing these lol. But here she is, I think going forward I’m going to try to keep it minimal again. . . . #bumblebee #dc #youngjustice #superheroes #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #ipadair4 #poctober #blacktober #applepencil https://www.instagram.com/p/CVde4ZJr6HO/?utm_medium=tumblr
