Happy Tdov as it were. Here's your fully visible trans woman, once again asking folks to not just make us visible, but to support us everywhere you can. Speaking of, like I mention up there, I'm still desperately trying to cover my march rent on this, the last day of march. If you can pitch in and help out, here: http://paypal.me/tormentedartifacts but even just sharing this post around helps if you can't contribute directly.
If you can, please help! Dee is a lovely lady, a fantastic artist, and an incredible human.

ethics of making AI images aside, I do find a bit amusing the kinds of sob stories and mental gymnastics people make up to pretend like drawing is this super technical skill with an impossibly high barrier of entry when its like one of the first hobbies toddlers pick up
suddenly a lot of people think they got the next Lord of the Rings in their head but they were never able to turn their stories into anything tangible because the evil elitist artists are hogging all the talent and skill and they need a bajilion years of training or something as if one of the most popular manga and anime of the past decade wasn't made by a guy that draws like this

there should be a tax that youtubers pay where 1.5% of all of their revenue goes back to Kevin Macleod for basically supplying YouTube with it’s own soundtrack.
who is this man and what music did he make???
paper-mario-wiki
if you hear a royalty free song on youtube, there’s approximately an 80% chance Kevin Macleod wrote it.
here’s some you’ve almost definitely heard:
paper-mario-wiki
for those wondering, yes, he also made THE generic royalty free song that was EVERYWHERE in 2014.

And he doesn’t even make a 1000$ per month!
also, his site incompetech.com also has graph paper generators, if you’re in need of that. It has any kind of graph paper - INCLUDING hex paper, you tabletop gamers out there! (or knitting paper if you’re into that)

HOHOHOHO?
Y'all, I’ve been a fan of Kevin MacLeod for YEARS. I can identify his music within two seconds. He’s a fucking genius and he deserves all the love and credit and money people can give.
He scored invader zim AND xiaolin showdown

Anonymous asked:
Do you feel the Canadian dream is still attainable?
Of course “dream is subjective” . But most Canadians would like to own a home and have something set aside for their kids and retirement? Is this dream still attainable for someone in their 20’s or 30’s?
I'm 36, have basically no savings, no career, and if I didn't have my parents I'd be homeless. There's no way I can ever own a home.
I have 7 years of post secondary education and I'm forced to work at a grocery store to make any money, because no one in my field will hire anyone without 2-10 years experience. I also am $40k in debt so couldn't even go back to school if I wanted to, and no job outside of what I went to university for will pay enough for me to pay off my loans in any near future.
The Canadian/American dream is dead, and has been for a long time. My generation and Gen Z were lied to about everything by boomers, who reaped all the benefits of society but are not willing to do the same for us.
also...it isn't just a generational thing. the "canadian/american dream" and yes they're pretty much the same, is based on an idealized colonial experience.
it inherently involves the violent theft of Indigenous land, the use of immigrants for cheap underpaid labour, and white people being in power.
even when "the canadian dream" was/is theoretically obtainable, it could/can only be achieved through oppression and inequity
these tags!
the canadian/american dream is a white colonial fantasy about "thriving" on land stolen and settled on by europeans and their descendants. you can't achieve the canadian or american dream without reinforcing colonialism and the genocide of Indigenous people
also. the impulse to fantasize about previous generations living the canadian dream and "owning" land will always be reactionary.
who was it a better time for? who did the state allow to claim that land? who was forced out to make that possible? who got to live that dream? who was allowed to live in those nice little neighbourhoods and who was only allowed to be there to work?
it's not that this dream was possible for previous generations. it's that was possible for white people. and land ownership continues to be connected to white privilege, it just doesn't include as many white people as it used to.
For example, a clause in Vancouver real estate deeds going back to at least 1928 and included as late as 1965 stated, "That the Grantee or his heirs, administrators, executor, successors or assigns will not sell to, agree to sell to, rent to, lease to, or permit or allow to occupy, the said lands and premises, or any part thereof, any person of the Chinese, Japanese or other Asiatic race or to any Indian or Negro."
this is also not an argument for making land ownership more financially and racially diverse. that is not and will never be the answer. I may be broke and brown but I have no claim to owning any of this land. this land is STOLEN and your white ancestors lived that "dream" at the expense of Indigenous people
people have got to stop fantasizing about owning land like their ancestors did when they stole it, and start thinking about giving that land the fuck back
...honestly I keep seeing a lot of "nostalgia" from my fellow gen z and millennials about the land ownership that was available to previous (white) generations
and it's pretty infuriating! who was allowed to own that land? who lived there before? who died or was driven out to make that land available to your white ancestors? WHOSE LAND IS THIS?
we have to stop this reactionary bullshit!! please please please stop romanticising the colonial ownership of Indigenous land!!
yes you deserve to live without having to pay for it, but YOU DON'T DESERVE TO OWN STOLEN LAND
land back. now.
I have a suggestion
