I Do Think A Lot Of Online Disability Spaces Have Adopted Anti-effort/anti-progress/anti-recovery Stances

Daily Doodles- Day 119- 14/08/24

Was inspired by the art style from one of my favorite childhood books, School of Fear.

Drew a random petrified girl in an imitation of said style.

From a Christian perspective, what do you think about aro/ace people?

Problem with this question is, everybody wants to redefine words to mean whatever the individual feels like meaning. But if you're talking about people with no sex drive or people with no reproductive organs, the Bible says that they are people made in the image of God exactly like everyone else. They need Jesus exactly the same amount as everyone who is not aro/ace.

God's plan for humanity is that they experience full love and fulfillment in a relationship with Him, which glorifies Him. Marriage and sex are just one, of many, good pictures He gave us of that plan. But those are not "THE plan." So anybody without sex drive or without reproductive organs or whatever are fully capable of experiencing God's love and fulfillment in giving their lives to Him—and they need that exactly the same amount as people who do have sex drive and reproductive organs.

That's all.

This was supposed to be a cute librarian girl. She's cute, but doesn't really scream 'librarian'.

I was looking into what education I needed to pursue to be a librarian. I'm good with where I'm at right now, but I may want to pursue something else one day.

Neil Gaiman is accused of sexual assault, sexual coercion and rape

A third woman came forward a couple of days ago.

Apple Podcasts

‎Am I Broken: Survivor Stories: S4 Ep2 - Claire "I Ignored It and I Believed Him Because He's the Storyteller [Neil Gaiman]" on Apple Podcas

‎Show Am I Broken: Survivor Stories, Ep S4 Ep2 - Claire "I Ignored It and I Believed Him Because He's the Storyteller [Neil Gaiman]" - Jul 2

None of the problems people had with the other podcast (and to be honest, I think those arguments mostly just represent the denial and bargaining phases of grief) apply to this one. This woman says she only came forward because the Tortoise podcast made her aware she wasn't alone. Until then she'd believed him when he told her it was just her. Good Omens fans, I'm sorry if you're hearing this from me (although unfortunately it does matter that you hear it from someone). If you had heard but tried to look the other way -- listen, I know this is shocking and heartbreaking. It is of course up to you how you participate in fandom from here. But please stop tagging your fandom posts "Neil Gaiman". You are ensuring that anyone searching for information is going be swamped with Good Omens fanart and S3 countdown posts and pictures of socks(?) and photos of actors who have nothing to do with this. They might then conclude that there's nothing to these allegations. And that mattes: at present, aside from Rolling Stone and the two podcasts, this story hasn't received much press attention. The latest survivor says that she tried reaching out to reporters and was told her story "wasn't enough." So at least for now, social media sites do matter as a record on this. When you drown out this story with your fandom feelings, you are helping, whether or not you realise it, to cover it up. And considering that he seems to have targeted fans who trusted him... I don't even want to finish that thought. So please, stop. Do what you want in the other, more relevant tags. But you're likely to have a better experience if you start trying to separate it from him, anyway.

You don't need anyone's approval for the stories you write and the art you create. But it's also absolutely valid to want some approval from your audience. Kudos and likes don't determine your creation's worth. But it just feels amazing to receive them.

Reluctant Jamette- Book Cover Design 2

Art post #1 || Here || Art post #3 || Art post #4

These were the final sketches that I used for my cover design. I did the split-down-the-middle thing to represent how Tamika is mentally separated from these powers that she doesn't want.

The last two sketches show her and Jamette facing each other. I can't quite remember what I had in mind when I came up with this (this is why you take notes!) but I think it was just the continuation of them being separate from each other. I do have plans for the 'Jamette' in her to start fighting against her will.

Inspired by a video I was watching/listening to on YouTube. It was about how once you've been told the truth, you can see the truth.

The video was about a real lie that a lot of people don't believe, but you can find the truth in it if you look.

It was mentioned, at least.

Drew another guy and tried to get some variety in there. His hair is my favorite part!
