Meet the artist!

Howdy! I'm Wormwood. I use they/he/she pronouns and I was born on November 4th, 2003. I am physically and mentally disabled, so my art reflects my queer and disabled identities through the characters and concepts. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember-- but I got relatively "serious" about my art more recently. 𓃹 I am currently a senior in college, with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry. I intend on using my degree to pursue a doctorate in veterinary medicine. 𓃹 I am also the author and artist behind the wild west thriller comic, Bag of Nails! Information of which can be found at the end of the blinkies that I spent way too long on finding.

Where can I find Bag of Nails?

All information regarding my comic can be found HERE

Howdy! I’m Wormwood, a comic artist who specializes in anything cowboy. I am a disabled, nonbinary, lesbian who believes that queer and disabled representation is incredibly important in the media, so most, if not all, of my characters have an aspect that covers those two topics. My favorite color is red, so you’ll find a lot of red in my art! I’m currently working on a wild west thriller comic called Bag of Nails, where the main character (who is also a nonbinary lesbian!) is hunting this illusive criminal by the name of White Rabbit. PLEASE ensure you read all of the trigger warnings before getting too far into it! Your mental health is your priority. You can find “Bag of Nails” on webtoon, tapas, and my website! (Link pinned in "meet the artist" post at the top of my page.) I hope to see you again if you decide to scroll without following! I appreciate the time you took to read my introduction. Have a wonderful day!

Wild goose chase

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

I have a wild idea. what if we supported our claims of fact by linking to a reliable source. better yet, what if we went hogwild and just straight up linked to the actual unpaywalled study

[taphappy52]

per the article from prev:

We may be overestimating microplastics, but there should be none. There’s still a lot out there, and that’s the problem,” said McNeil, senior author of the study and U-M professor of chemistry, macromolecular science and engineering, and the Program in the Environment.

As microplastic researchers looking for microplastics in the environment, “we’re searching for the needle in the haystack, but there really shouldn’t be a needle to begin with,” said Clough, a recent U-M doctoral graduate.

like don’t get me wrong i’m very glad it’s not nearly as bad as it was originally stated to be, and glad that someone finally thought to double check for contamination from the gloves. but it doesn’t mean the concern about microplastics is completely unfounded.

Introducing my pride and joy, BAG OF NAILS!

There are currently FOUR chapters out, working on the 5th! PLEASE ensure that you read the trigger warnings before getting too deep into this! There are some upsetting topics in this comic that I will absolutely be treating seriously as they should be.

Super late Christmas art but happy holidays

[gooeglop]

hello, hello! it’s the holidays and I’m needing some extra money for presents, traveling, ect… soo, I’m lowering my prices! you can get a fullbody SFW / pinup drawing of your character(s)!

YOU MUST BE +18 WITH YOUR AGE DISPLAYED ON YOUR ACCOUNT TO GET PIN UP ART

I will not give you the art if I find out that you have lied about your age, and will report you. If you refuse to prove you are +18, you will not get the art. I do not do NSFW art atm, only pinup! Please keep this in mind if you decide to commission me!

Want an example of my pinup art and you have proven you are 18+? Wondering what exactly I am able to draw? Simply ask!

OPPAAAAAALLLLL

[bamsara]

past all arguments with gen AI 'art' being pushed as a tool to make art more accessible, as a disabled creator myself, it's important to remember that:

a service that requires the stolen art of millions of uncredited artists in order to function

demands insane amounts of water and electricity, harming the environment and poisoning local communities around their data centers

used deliberately to take away paying jobs from real human artists so cooperates can save a buck, and frankly to my belief, implanted and encouraged the infighting so they could use us as a scapegoat and get away with it

it's capitalism, it's greed and it's ableist. That's not a tool for accessibility, that's a tool for exploitation

[bamsara]

I put this in the comments but I think it should be here too:

Personally, I think the argument that "this disabled person in the past could do it via *this* way, therefore why can't you" is also harmful to the disabled community.

People are going to have different limitations and there shouldn't be a standard to uphold them to, and accessibility resources to creating art (as well as many other things in life) are going to vary by each person.

If the money and time spent on gen AI development was put towards social rights, resources, developing accessibility tools as whole, and accommodating disabled people without (1) trying to 'fix' them (2) pushing them past their limits and to ignore their disability and (3) using us as a scapegoat, and everything that would actually MAKE the world safer and more hospitable for disabled people, there would be no incentive to use something that's not only thieving, but actively poisoning the earth to insane amounts and with cooperates buying up land and driving people from their homes.

We should have resources, rights, and accommodations as our right of being human. However, they don't think that providing those to us turns a profit, but using us as their mascot will
