I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

i think working in the auto industry has been the biggest little helper in my therapeutic endeavors as of late. no fuck up is ever that big, at worst you get the piss taken out of you for a week and you learn to laugh at it too. explicitly beefing with the coworkers is normal and honestly expected. my cortisols been on the down since i started it’s great

#ofc this is on top of having a set schedule with set expectations and never called in on off days which helps a lot #i dunno it’s just kind of nice #there’s many big personalities in this shop and they all learn how to coexist

cut my nails to try in an attempt to curb BFRBs and it’s working but this also sucks

Now, a question for my Black followers ONLY:

The rest of you can (and really ought to!) reblog, but it's not your turn to talk. Just listen and reflect!

What DOES a good apology for antiblackness look like, to you?

Not a shitty twitter apology that dodges accountability. Not a genuine apology made to white fans to soothe their embarrassment and egos and maintain white solidarity.

What does an ACTUAL apology for antiblackness consist of, to you?

What actions do you need to see from people who claim to be better, to deserve your support despite a history of being unsafe?

Why do you think nonblack people feel they're entitled to grace, and what would actually EARN them your grace? What makes you not want to offer it at all?

I think there's a disconnect between what the group being harmed needs, and what people think the group being harmed should settle for. We've been forced to know the latter. How do Y'ALL feel?

it's hard to say 'cause rarely do I see an apology for antiblack behavior. but I guess that would be the start, for me - an ACTUAL apology towards the people harmed. not a vague, 'sorry if you were offended' post that people usually do, or blocking the people who call them out on antiblack behavior. I need to see some genuine remorse toward the Black community for their actions.

after that, I'd like to see that remorse in the form of further action. as you say, to be anti-racist is to put in CONSTANT work. if you really want to atone - put in the work. read more about racism and antiblackness. educate your peers around you who exhibit antiblack behavior if you can - or cut them off, if you can't. make more effort to uplift the Black fans in your fandom circles, if the antiblackness they have to deal with on the regular hasn't pushed them out - share their art, their stories. stand up for them. fight for them.

and understand that in spite of doing all of this - there will be Black people who will not forgive you. there will be Black people who will not be able to trust you. and you shouldn't let that hinder you in your efforts to better yourself in becoming a stronger ally for the people you hurt.

but that's just me tho!

ALSO - I need that apology to be LOUD. I need it to be PUBLIC. since you want to speak on Black people terribly in such loud, public spaces, that apology needs to match the energy you give out. not some simpering bullshit in the DMs, or in the discord chat. not half-assed apologies sent on an account you made private after getting called out.

you choose to act ugly in the light, so why try to shrink back and hide in the shadows when you say you want to make amends?? atone on the stage you created.
