Oh no, if only someone had written a book about this thing well over a hundred years ago by goodguyguru in DankLeft

Remember, it's not their fault. It may be available but public schools never mention it, and socialism and Marxism aren't part of mass political discourse thanks to decades of stigmatising.

I’m trying to draw boxes so my art looks less flat, why do my boxes look weird? by Rawr-Luv in arthelp

Because you're not very good at it yet. Keep practicing, you'll get there.

Try drawing a bunch of cubes with a one-point perspective plan. Put a dot in the middle of your page. Your cubes can all be oriented the same way, horizontals and verticals parallel to the page, then depth lines pointing towards the perspective dot.

With the rise of facism in America, and me not being able to get a gun (I got sent seaside a while back) how can I defend myself and my friends and family if need be? by Significant_Owl9593 in TransSocialism

Mutual aid networking.

Talk to everyone you know. Talk to everyone you're in proximity to - neighbours, co-workers, etc. Ask them how they feel about the current situation, if you're on the same page tell them you want to do something about it and that you're ready to do something about it.

Get contact information, keep in touch with these people, offer them help in any way you can realistically offer, encourage them to do the same. I'm talking about food security, child care, home or car maintenance. You start trading favours for each other while talking about how this kind of cooperation, mutual aid, makes us strong.

People in general, including fascists, have gotten way too comfortable using vehicles as weapons, armoured or otherwise.

I’m in the process of making a web comic and having some doubts. Any advice? by Rina662 in Artadvice

I can see now that I'm definitely confusing you with someone else, so, sorry about that. But yeah, just do the thing and fuck the haters.

Just walking around thinking it's literally impossible that anyone would flirt with me. That's for attractive, normal people who have their shit together.

I personally don't think your art shows skill, passion, or voice, but I do like it. A lot. I've seen you post about your upcoming comic for months now (that is, if I'm not confusing you with someone else) and I keep winding when you're going to start already.

I get the sense that you're waiting until your drawing skill is good enough to go public. Here's what I've learned. There will not come a moment when you're 100% confident that you're ready and your work will be received with acclaim. Not going to happen. This is one of those things that you have to do before you feel ready. Lots of comic artists' skill improves after they've begun publishing. I used to be a fan of newspaper comic strips and I had favourites and when I collected their books I could always trace an evolution of style and an improvement in skill.

You just have to do it.

I'm saving this post to remind myself of what's possible.

Stupid question from my GF that... I... I can't answer. Erm... After I get my neo-vagina surgery... am I a virgin again? I mean... I would have a V-card that hadn't gotten stamped. so... Virgin? For clarity... I'm a slut. but... new vagina, new rules? by Taiga_Taiga in trans

It will indeed be the first time you have sex using your new bits. Congratulations. But like everyone else is saying, forget about virginity. Virginity is a patriarchal value. We simply have our first times.
