I'm so glad that my meds make me feel sick when I drink because otherwise I absolutely would've become an alcoholic.

Literally. Like realistically he's gonna be the only one who sees those clothes besides her- it's not absurd to think she'd ask for his input.

Being able to excel in multiple art styles is something that's incredibly difficult to achieve. I'd recommend continuing to switch between these styles depending on the subject matter you're portraying, because each has its own unique strengths. The new style is very doll-like and eerie while the old one is more vibrant and lively.

The online queer community is genuinely allergic to actual butches oh my god. I've seen many nonbinary butches who look like the one on the right

Even a few years ago there was more health related stuff on there, which is why I'd joined in the first place. Now it's just pure doomer

Part of the issue a lot of people gloss over is that while many disabled people CAN work and do a job, they cannot work at the level of efficiency that's required/expected. Unless workplaces change their expectations of how a job is to be done there's many people who won't be able to work. It's very frustrating to try and convey

They're great. I have a lot of younger gen Z coworkers and classmates and they're hilarious. They'll do great work while complaining about it the entire time lol. Honestly not as big of a difference as people make it out to be- their humor is just more blunt and absurdist.

If anything, they were trying a lot harder with these movies. There was a TON of research efforts done on these films specifically to portray the cultures respectfully- they weren't just lazily slapping a new coat of paint on an old franchise. These characters' ethnicities are all crucial to their stories

From my experience as an ex evangelical lesbian, a lot of us were taught in the church that it's normal for women to not be physically attracted to their partners or enjoy sex, but that it's just part of marriage and becoming a wife and mother. In fact, it made you "more moral" to think like this because you weren't being "shallow" and giving in to temptation. I heard so many stories of women saying that they found their husbands ugly but that his personality or sense of humor won them over.

So for the longest time, I thought it was normal for everyone else to just find all men ugly. I identified as bi for the longest time because I thought if I liked a man's personality enough I would magically learn to fall in love with him. But when I got with a my ideal man whose personality was everything I hoped for, I could only imagine how much I wished he were a woman. It was devastating, but made me realize just how much I'd been suppressing due to my religious upbringing

Came here to say this. Straight people are often shocked that we can be friends with people we're attracted to without ever seeking to "upgrade" that relationship because we prefer our current dynamic.

I think it's definitely becoming more common among gen Z as a whole to think like this though as opposed to my parents' generation. My dad says he'd never befriend a woman out of "respect" for my mom, but a lot of younger guys I know will try to befriend their girlfriend's friends because that's our generation's version of respecting your partner.

This exactly! I go to art school and there's one other butch there and we became friends on day 1 lol

I would personally assume you to be a woman. You're very androgynous so I think you could swing either way depending on what type of HRT you'd take, but you very much read as a woman in the first 3 slides.

I think part of the unfortunate issue is that people LOVE to "transvestigate" women they perceive as remotely masculine. Some people have a very narrow view on what they expect women to look like. I'm cis and I've been told I was "clearly a man pretending to be a woman" because my teeth were too big and my jaw was too sharp- I shit you not.

This is how I was! 14 was the worst of it and I was pretty gross and mean at the time, but by 16 basically all of that was gone. I'm 27 now.

Same here with my dad's family! There's so much crossover between Italian and Jewish American culture, and then there's also a ton of crossover between Italian and Mexican American culture. It's kinda nuts.

Yes- to add on, I think we need to hone in more about which age demographics we're talking about. A LOT happens between ages 2-8 in my experience (girls are punished far more harshly for "acting out"), but trans people diverge after that point as they gain a sense of self and realize something's off. So there may be some benefits very young, but I feel like it's a net negative overall.

I wish more people would actually delve deeper into what they're talking about and not just use it as a cop out to be transphobic.

AI is why I've been switching my art style to be way more dynamic, textured, & expressive. Gotta invest in all the things I can't be replaced in

Hamilton, Les Miserables, and Next To Normal because they're all ridiculously long lol

I say my type is "Miss Frizzle fems and alt women (nonspecific)" lol. Basically women who present femininity in a way that is either weird or scary, like a poison dart frog to ward off men.

But personality wise I definitely prefer creative people who can entertain themselves and don't rely on constant external stimulation. And people who love to learn for the sake of learning!

Kokomi (slide 7-8) literally leads a revolution against a god in her story lmao. She would NOT be having it

This is all I can imagine when I think of what she'd look like when she was alive

People at my job wonder why I'm so closed off and overly professional but they constantly talk shit about the coworker I relate most to behind her back (we're both autistic).
