reminder that i am only using it/its pronouns from here on out. i'm so tired of people not using them for me- my own close friends even avoid using it for me most of the time in favor of they. i'm tired of people literally avoiding addressing me appropriately. this isn't a matter of personal opinion- it's about correcting inappropriate behavior.
just as you don't question the she/her pronouns used by a cis woman, or the he/him pronouns used by a cis man- don't question anyone who uses it/its pronouns. trans, cis, intersex, or otherwise. it's not a debate. it's not a moral or ethical issue- it's about respect, and being addressed correctly.
i refuse to cave and use "they" so it's "easier" for people. it only takes a little bit of practice. if you are resistant to learning new concepts, you will always have negative reactions when you disrespect someone. that's what this is: disrespect.
so embarrassing when i forget im checking someone's blog and i start scrolling through and liking and reblogging shit as if it's just my dash. it feels like wandering into someone else's apartment and not noticing and making myself lunch
Was it always like this?
That when one wakes up and turns the radio on one is punched in the face with a shitload of frightening news
Was it always like this?
That when one open ones phone there are a thousand voices screaming that they are afraid of the future
Was it always like this?
Were elections always this terrifying
Was it always like this?
That the peace, the human rights, the entire ecosystem of our planet and the democracy is hanging by a string finer than hair
Was it always like this?
That politicians don’t care at all for the people or the truth just for power and money
Was it always like this?
I just accidentally made un-tea?????
I made green tea, but I forgot there was an old bag of chai in the kettle, so I mixed chai water with decaf green tea, then I mixed in like a half table spoon or something of that honey from the dollar store that they aren't legally allowed to call honey because there's too much corn syrup in it and some almond milk and a single drop of coffee creamer because we ran out and???? It tastes like??? Nothing????
It has LESS flavor than my tap water! HOW do you EVEN-
I think I made a flavor that's only perceptible to shrimp, that's the only explanation
The second time I quilted Joan of Ark.
This one just got first place at the Utah State Fair
Scroll back up again. NOW. It is made out of YARN. Look at it!
16 frame shooting star animation. January 2022-September 2024 Needlepoint
Frames from my shooting star gif. 16 frames total. Each frame is 8x6.5 inches on a 10” mesh. Designed and animated in photoshop and needlepointed by me. I started drafting this 1/14/22 and finished animating it 9/25/24. It took approximately two years and eight months to finish. This is one of the largest projects I’ve ever worked on and I’m very happy with how it turned out.
You guys should make more intersex ocs, I want to see the intersex flag on character refs. Can we get women who are bears and cis gay boys with boobs? Can we get intersex characters who aren't 'futas' and instead actually depict intersexuality in a non-fetishistic manner? In a way that represents us? What about an anthro doe with antlers, or chimera cats? What about reptilian species who's sex is determined by temperature ending up square in the middle? How about characters who don't know they are intersex? What about intersex animals, dragons, monsters, literally split down the middle, half male half female. Infertile characters, agenital characters, characters with 'wrong' sex characteristics. Men who can't stand to piss. Women without ovaries. People who look like me. Characters who exist in settings without a medical establishment telling them their body is wrong? Gandalf big naturals. Intersex flag. Write settings where Intersexuality is represented thematically accuratly, and is natural and normal.
Write more intersex characters
