I don't know if you've seen this but it can't hurt to see it twice @yelenasvestpockets

thank you sm for tagging me i love this !!

don’t let this world’s obsession with youth rob you of the big and small joys of adulthood. i spent most of my teenage years and early twenties struggling with my mental health. but there’s no timeline for happiness. for many people, getting older and growing up means having more chances to redefine their values, find their path and stability in life. some people go to college in their forties. some people marry in their sixties. some people recover better after their thirties. there’s no timeline for this kind of stuff. your childhood and teenage years won’t be the only chance you have at experiencing freedom and joy.

foliage study :-) there's an angel in the garden

I am the main provider of two loved ones/roommates that are both disabled, one with cancer, and the other still recovering from mono. I have missed a ton of work making sure they're getting to appointments and being advocated for in the hospital. I myself am not doing well, I am going through a lupus flare and struggling badly with my mental health.

We are behind on bills, our wifi got turned off for a bit last month, putting me out of work for longer than I otherwise would've been. The only reason we are housed now is bc a very supportive friend made sure we were able to pay rent. We don't have enough for food, bills, or medical stuff rn. We live in the south and truly need to be getting a name change and other legal stuff done too just for saftey reasons, but when we can't afford the day-to-day that is hilariously out of reach.

I post art at my art blog @theartistrans seen above. If anyone would prefer to help by buying something from there, most of it's for sale, and generally helping with this allows me to continue to be alive and making art.

Dm me for proof or details, but also vetted by @kyra45-helping-others who does scam busting on here

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

Reminder: you can't be the whole wall against stopping fascism by yourself. Nobody can. But you damn sure can be a brick.

There's a lot of good comments and tags in the notes, but this one is very important, I feel like it deserves some emphasis.

Part of how authoritarianism works is telling you that you can't stop it. And you can't stop it by yourself. But it wants to stop the train of thought there and let you fall into despair.

You need to remember the next part: you don't have to stop it by yourself.

You're not alone. Take care of your community and let your community take care of you. Supporting each other is so vital.

working on early horses, i wanted to do a quick sketch to show how small Eohippus was compared to an extant horse (this one is about 150cm tall). as you can see, it wasn't big at all. a perfect little lap horse :)

anakin skywalker does not use jedi mind tricks 

not once in the films 

do you think that’s a coincidence 

not on your life buddy 

anakin skywalker does not have it in him to overrule another being’s free will

he murders a bunch of children with a laser sword

your fave is problematic

actually Darth Vader killed those kids. he also killed Anakin, from a certain point of view

just ‘cause he changed his name doesn’t mean he’s a different person, he was the same dude under different circumstances. anakin’s life prior to being darth vader was not destroyed by an invading darth vader, it was darth vader’s backstory.

I’m going to help a Sith Lord overthrow the Galactic Republic and systematically hunt down and murder every member of the Jedi order and when Obi-Wan comes for me I’m going to tell him it was my alter ego Countess Boochie Flagrante

New Index: Baby Animals

We need things to make us smile right now, so I'm launching this page earlier than I planned.

This is a new index page - it's a list of all the species where I've got photos of juvenile animals. With previews! And it links out to the full page so you can see all the cute. It's a living page and will be updated as I get more photos online.

Right now, there's...

Gorillas

(There's some really neat photos of an extremely fresh baby gorilla being carried by mom - I can't put those on the hellsite because they don't differentiate female-presenting-nipples by species, so you gotta check them out on the page)

Black Rhinoceroses

Lions

Snow Leopards

Blackbuck

...and more!

most basic treatments for sickness involve some form of salt water (drinking electrolytes, gargling with warm salt water, epsom salt baths) as a way of microdosing going to the seaside

“lol why are you following the boobs and ass artist” why do you think I’m following the boobs and ass artist. do you think I go to the grocery store ironically too

Do NOT give in to despair. Yes, the response isn’t always perfect. But the perfect is the enemy of the good.

People are standing up.
