always remember gay men are the reason we dont have to pay for public bathrooms in canada
i think the absolute craziest thing in bottoms (2023) for all it's awareness, never once acknowledges how hazel is the gayest looking person in the immediate area, at all times, no contest. never once is pj like oh yeah i think i could see myself getting with hazel, because she's obviously gay. everyone here is a 6 and i'm going to die alone when brittany doesn't work out. like okay dyke.
when I drew this comic 3 years ago I had NO idea how far it would reach. I'm happy to finally share a corrected version with proper abbreviations, and even MORE state names of indigenous origin ♥️
however, the goal of this comic was to inspire people to do your OWN research on indigenous history. To question everything we have been taught, and everything that has been pointedly left out. This erasure, this “forgetting”, of history is not just of the past… it is happening now. - Across so-called Canada, the US, and US-occupied islands, native women are victims of murder at 10-12x the rate of non-native people, and are the most likely to go missing without being searched for by the law. - Native reservations have the highest rates of poverty in the US, with over HALF of tribal homes with no access to clean water (with more joining this list by the year) - Native people are 6-10x more likely to be unhoused than the rest of the population, and native teens suffer suicide rates higher than any other demographic. This list of modern day genocide goes on (thank you for compiling @theindigenousanarchist <3) and yet take a look at those environmental stats!
Native people manage to do SO much for the planet as a whole - thanklessly - and with all this stacked against them. Don't even get me started on kin fighting in south america. Could you imagine if there was help? #landback is resistance to genocide, and it is the key to saving our warming earth.
So look into it and the other hashtags, cuz a cartoon goose ain't a substitute for a proper education. Love to my grandparents who always kept a map of tribal territories of turtle island on their wall, to speaking on our Tsalagi & Saponi heritage. Love & solidarity forever, happy research, and happy #indigenouspeoplesday

(Also, if you care to support the artist, I'm publishing a book ! and writing another - a fantastical afroindigenous graphic novel - that I post exclusively about with tons of other art on my patreon.)
yes spotify wrapped is here. no i will not be disclosing it. thank you for your consideration.
i love how every time i look up at the night sky i’ll see one bright star at first and then i’ll see tens of them and i just imagine how reassuring the light in the distance must’ve been, back when that’s what they used to navigate
literally cannot stop thinking about brokeback mountain today
Person A: I don't want to do this alone.
Person B: Then hold my hand, because we're doing this together.
school spirits is definitely one of the best shows out there right now because there really was an episode that had an A plot that was kidnapping a ghost who stole a body and a C plot of a david bowie dance number and you know just some minor stakeouts and also hell personified
When she’s too scared to agree and too polite to fight me on something “Go away, when you can, move far from this country,” my mother tells me She thinks I’m too radical for the borders I was born in She thinks I have too much fight in me to hold my tongue in She fears maybe she’ll see an example made of me
My mother is not without her flaws And I see where she gets it When I look at her mother, I turn back to my own I am faced with a younger woman, young and scared and too much like me And worse I am embittered by my own empathy
Because that is empathy I was never taught to show myself That is compassion I waited for like a dog at the foot of her bed That is love I still find hard to give the girl in the mirror Because I wish she would see me and find someone worth loving But she sees the potential of being loved instead
Because that is what I keep finding myself to be Someone who can do well and be liked Someone who can be pleasant company With just enough work and effort put in Someone that can of love be made worthy
When our throats are raw from screaming and knuckles are bloody Eyes dry of tears that have streaked our cheeks After fighting for each other or each other maybe “Go away, when you can, move far from this country,” my mother tells me And I wish that that wasn’t the only time I felt like she really sees me
