what bothers me about tumblr activism is that folks expect you to just. react when they say horrible things. "XYZ kills people". What a bold, and eye catching statement. And... that might be true, but like.. are you a survivor? have you linked a story about a survivor sharing their story? What about a literal explanation for what you're talking about? A statistic maybe... an explanation. How am I supposed to be mad about something, when some teenager struggling with white guilt is the one communicating this to me, the in the least effective way possible? It's sensationalism for clout, really. it's using pain and suffering of a minority to make yourself feel better, while not actually helping the minority. And no, reblogs to your 3 mutuals isn't activism.
Love it when the internet seizes on something like this
salt and pepper squid
they are in love
I think we're too harsh on medieval painters because this is legitimately what some poodle mixes look like
If you're willing to spend tax money on hostile architecture or jailing people for sleeping outside, you can spend tax money on housing.
If you're willing to spend tax money on jailing people for public urination, you can spend tax money on public restrooms.
If you're willing to spend tax money on jailing people for meeting a need the wrong way, you can spend tax money on providing it the right way.
Why do conservatives complain about the price of gas and groceries?
If you don't like the price of gas and groceries, just stop buying gas and groceries.
What's that? That's horrible advice?
Well, that's the exact advice you've been giving to other struggling people since the beginning of time. You've been nonchalantly defending the free market whenever it was harmful to others. You convinced yourself that those who are struggling deserve it until you became one. Then, you suddenly decided that it must be some deep state conspiracy instead of accepting that what's happening to you is exactly what you dismissed when it was happening to others.

sometimes buds ask’ what is it like to be a neurodivergent artist?’ and this is great summary: the charts can look like this, and at same time people will be endlessly posting on how you are ‘not real’ or ‘a bit’. you can hold bestsellers in slot 1 to 4 and still not be 'serious'
i am ultimately ok with this. i love my trot and would not have it any other way, but i think it is worth investigation. when irony poisoning has seeped into everything, how many times does a neurodivergent person have to say ‘actually this is NOT so bad its good. its just good’
when you are autistic, or queer, or both, how much proof do you need to be considered good art? or good business? what do the charts have to look like for me to be a ‘real’ author? or allowed my face mask at a library association conference? or one person not a group of writers?
im coming up on a decade of writing tinglers soon, and people are still talkin about my ‘serious’ works vs my ‘joke books’ and at every turn, as kindly as i can, i shout from the rooftops: THEY ARE ALL SERIOUS BOOKS. THIS IS NOT A BIT.
but its hard when buds have had ‘the correct way to be a writer. the correct way to be an artist. the COOL way to react to a book that is TOO weird’ pounded into their heads by internet culture. 'kill it with fire' they say. 'i need eye bleach' they say without thinking. a line.
heres the thing, the tide IS turning. theres buckaroos jumping in and saying, ‘I want to be a part of this’ and for that they are being rewarded. the publisher who took me seriously is lookin pretty dang good right now with these charts and these sales. i am honored and moved
over time there will be more buds who shed that irony mask. the tide of sincerity is powerful, and the tide of love is inevitable. it is difficult to stand strong in our uniqueness but it also pays off, and I hope to be a shining example. eventually THE TIMELINE BENDS TO YOU
so this is not a thread to complain. i have been trotting long enough that these things do not really bother me. being made fun of and disparaged as ‘not legit art’ while also being objectively successful at the things im made fun of about is kind of the ocean that i swim in.
no. my point of this is to say THANK YOU to those of you who have been trotting by my side over these years. THANK YOU for proving love to me. im so honored by your support, and you should know that YOU have seen beyond the irony poisoned veil that stops many others. YOU get it.
and to those with their own unique perspective on creation: look what you can do. yes there will likely be a lot of resistance to something different, but there is also a LOT of reward. YOU can trot a new path. YOU can prove love is real, not in MY way, but IN YOUR OWN WAY
anyway thank you for reading buckaroos. thank you for your support. LUCKY DAY comes out next summer and it is probably as FAR OUT and existential as the tingleverse has ever gone. you can preorder it here
Friendly reminder that there are no "male" or "female" levels of estrogen or testosterone. Every single person on the planet has varying degrees of what they need to function at their best, cis or not. "Higher" levels quite literally do not make you more feminine or masculine (excess of either will turn into the reverse), and "lower" levels are fine if they're what you best function at. There are levels that are enough to result in puberty, but like.. That level is different for everyone.

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:
“So if little girls experience their menstrual cycle in 5th grade or 4th grade, will that prohibit conversations from them since they are in the grade lower than sixth grade?” asked state Rep. Ashley Gantt, a Democrat who taught in public schools and noted that girls as young as 10 can begin having periods.
“It would,” McClain responded.
Unbelievable. Link to article.
