I dug up an old abstract drawing I did just for fun - what do you think?

Maybe I can use it as a background for something

i will now be reporting any donation asks sent to me as spam. i used to vet each one i got (and they were often verifiably spam, but the influx has become too much and my energy too little. if you are somehow a real person sending me requests for donation and you don't want to be marked as spam, this is your chance to back out

hey i have other blogs!

so, here's a pinned post telling you to not just look at this mess of a blog but also my other blogs!

dreamwidth

my dreamwidth, probably will have similar vibes to my art blog

ART

@bismutharts, my art blog where i post my own art. this one is so super important to me and you should all follow it. i do digital art, crochet, knitting, sometimes poetry, embroidery, fun stuff!

@its-all-good-here, my art blog for other people's art, especially stuff that inspires me in some way

@all-the-fashion, primarily fashion, largely historical, but sometimes i decide that non-fashion images that are useful as reference images go there as well

@writing-and-drawing-prompts, my inspiration blog, mostly for writing but a little bit for drawing, also where i put how-to's for both of those

@could-be-incorrect-quotes, a blog once borne out of a plan to make one of those "incorrect-X-quotes" blogs, but now it's just anythinig that's a cool quote, there's actually a tagging system that's moderately adhered to here, and i've got a theme on desktop

OTHER

@cadmium1040, my oldest sideblog, that is a lot like my main but slightly more focus on fandom and just. less. if you like this blog but wish it'd not overtake your dash, go follow that one

@jesus-judas-coffeeshop-au, my religious sideblog

hey i have redbubble now!

I do not think I shall ever dare to indulge in any strong desire again.

Romantically Abstainer Flag

Romantic Abstention: abstaining oneself from romantic love, for any reason. Not necessarily romancelessness, as one can still show romantic traits.

Not the same as romantic celibacy as it's casually used for alloromantic people inherently, or even aromantic people inherently, depending who is the speaker you're reading.

Rudy Giuliani Is My Father. Please, Everyone, Vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

I may not be able to change my father’s mind, but together, we can vote this toxic administration out of office.

“Trump and his enablers have used his presidency to stoke the injustice that already permeated our society, taking it to dramatically new, Bond-villain heights. I am a filmmaker in the LGBTQ+ community who tells stories about mental health, sexuality, and other stigmatized issues, and my goal is to humanize people and foster empathy. So I hope you’ll believe me when I say that another Trump term (a term, itself, that makes me cringe) will irrevocably harm the LGBTQ+ community, among many others. His administration asked the Supreme Court to let businesses fire people for being gay or trans, pushed a regulation to let health care providers refuse services to people who are LGTBQ+, and banned trans people from serving their country in the military.

...

Speaking of scorched earth, I know many people feel paralyzed by climate despair. I do too, but something still can and must be done. As climate change begins to encroach on our everyday lives, it is clear that our planet cannot survive four more years of this administration’s environmental assault. This monumental challenge requires scientifically literate leadership and immediate action. Joe Biden has laid out an aggressive series of plans to restore the environmental regulations that Trump gutted on behalf of his corporate polluting friends. Biden has a transformational clean-energy policy that he will bring to Congress within his first 100 days in office, and perhaps most crucially, he brings a desire and capability to reunite the major nations of the world in forging a path toward a global green future.

I fully understand that some of you want a nominee who is more progressive. For others the idea of voting for a Democrat of any kind may be a hurdle. Now I have another confession to make. Biden wasn’t my first choice when the primaries started. But I know what is at stake, and Joe Biden will be everyone’s president if elected. If you are planning to cast a symbolic vote or abstain from voting altogether, please reconsider. It is more important than ever to avoid complacency. This election is far from over, and if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that anything can happen.

We are hanging by a single, slipping finger on a cliff’s edge, and the fall will be fatal. If we remove ourselves from the fight, our country will be in freefall. Alternatively, we can hang on, elect a compassionate and decent president, and claw our way back onto the ledge. If I, after decades of despair over politics, can engage in our democracy to meet this critical moment, I know you can too.”
