I'm not usually on campus for weekends and I didn't realize how loud people get
I am going to get even louder about my beliefs, to my friends, my family, to strangers, on the internet. I am a punk. I believe in trans rights, gay rights, equality for all sexes, freedom from gender norms, the right for any person to do whatever the fuck they want with their own bodies. Abortion is a human right. I respect pronouns. I believe in science and the impending climate collapse we are heading towards if we don't change everything (which I doubt we will) I'm queer and neurodivergent. I'm getting a degree in environmental science because I want to make a difference.
I also feel incredibly hopeless right now, I want to do so much but I don't know where to start besides sharing information on the internet. It's not enough, I need to go out and make a difference but I'm barely keeping my head afloat. This is what the system is designed to do. Keep us barely surviving so we can't organize against them.
I don't know where to go from here but I do know I'm not going to stop fighting. And neither should you. This is not going to be an easy fight and many people will lose their lives. We cannot stop fighting.
Don't forget disabled people, don't forget queer people, don't forget people of color, don't forget immigrants, don't forget all the people who will die because they can't get abortions. don't forget the people who are going to be the most impacted by this.
Today I watched Kiki's delivery service for the first time. I cried a lot and I'm not quite sure why. I started reading 1984 because I'm scared for the future. Plus I want to get back into reading, it's been a long time. I cut my hair and took my cat on an adventure. He hated it but got some chicken at the end so I don't think he minds. My friend made soup for us. It's days like these I'm grateful for my humanity.
For years I didn't feel like a person and many people tried to take my personhood away from me. Simply because they saw me as different. Who gets to define my personhood but me?
A drawing I made a month ago that I'm still struggling with, and maybe a lot of people would relate to as well.
For me it's about my gender in conflict with my body, about the struggles of being someone with a menstrual cycle, the expectations people have of me because I'm perceived as a woman, mental health, and my asexuality. And it's about anything you see in it too.

Omg thank you so much they look so cute!!! :0
Omg hi I saw your post about dropping off your sky kids so I thought I'd send them off for the day! I'm still deciding on her name but I'm leaning towards Juniper!
Here's your juniper! Love the way she hides as a lily pad, it's so cute
I headcanon Steven Universe himself as autistic and I don’t see a lot of people talking about it. Because I relate to him, since I am social at times but also very overly emotional, and also Steven is probably just high masking (my hc), so it would be harder to notice and diagnose him. I’ve been comparing him to the ways in which female autism gets unnoticed and I’ve been making a little note with DSM-5 criteria that he may fit into.
Introducing my babies (aka the only OCs I ever draw) Val and Xander
Image ID at end of post
So some backstory on these guys, they're werebeasts! They don't transform into any specific creature, just go from human looking to humanoid. Xander is only half werebeast so they cannot transform as drastically. They've been friends since childhood and Xander loves Val so much, although she's demi romantic and won't reciprocate his feelings until many years into their adulthood. Val loves getting into fights and Xander constantly has to protect her.
In the main story I'm working with right now Val is 19 and Xander is 20. Val's full name is Valerie but she hates it. She's demiro and pansexual! Her official gender label would probably be demi-girl but she doesn't label it. She uses she/her. Xander rejects all labels for his sexuality and gender, they just regularly refer to themselves as "one queer motherfucker" they technically go by all pronouns but tend to prefer he/they
I made their refs like a year ago and forgot to draw them for a while ngl. But I wanna explore their relationship more and the world they're in so I'll probably be posting about them once in a while

[image ID: image is a drawing of two humanoid characters yelling at each other. One is female with red curly hair and big animal-like ears. She is covered in bruises and cuts. Her text reads "Xander what the fuck! I told you not to get involved. You just have to be the hero." The other person is androgynous with black hair in short dreads. They have pointy ears and claws. His text reads "I thought they were going to kill you! Val, you can't keep picking fights you can't win." End of image ID]
literally i am almost completely soulless i am incapable of being human i am incapable of being inhuman i am living uncontrollably it should be antidepression as a friend of mine suggested because it's not the sadness that hurts you its the brains reaction against it
Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.
If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."
We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.
And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.
The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.
Everytime I try to lock in but can't I say I'm locked out
