Part of a series of queer and trans prints I'll have available at this weekend's Pride market, and then in my shop after.

can you imagine?

“I’ve never seen you eat are you insecure” “no…”

“here let me lift that for you” “I got it, thanks” *uses inhuman strength to lift bags*

“I’ve never seen you go to the beach, do you have trouble shopping for a bathing suit” “haha… yeah”

“There’s no way that girl can catch me… she’s huge!” “Hello, dinner.” *running with super fast vampire speed*

“She can’t fit in here! I’m safe!” *turns into a gas and slips under the door*

“How come you never go out?” “Well, I never get invited to parties…”

“Come to the gym with me! We should lose weight” “Not in a thousand years.” (incidentally, that’s when she was last alive.)

My love letter to the queer silver lining of 2020

A lot of revolutionary, unprecedented things happened in 2020 — that... goes without saying

But among all the chaos, one thing I can be grateful for was the surge of queer representation in western animation

I feel lucky to be alive in this time of change, and I’m also excited for the younger generation who gets to grow up with these explicitly queer shows

It gives me hope that this kind of representation will make it easier for them to figure things out :’)

I’ve been getting a little annoyed with how people portray ADHD as this like ’quirky, diet disorder’ so let’s talk about the ‘darker‘ side of this shit. - impulsiveness

people with adhd can be extremely impulsive. To dangerous extents. I’ve never severely hurt myself or lost anything really important. but I’d be surprised if it never happened.

- intrusive thoughts

(I get ones like, stab yourself in the eye, having sex with whoever I’m talking to. Including friends and family, cutting off my fingers while I’m chopping veggies, burning words into my skin with a wood burner, breaking someone’s neck on the edge of a table, stepping on nails while I’m walking etc.)

-meltdown/shutdowns/sensory overloads.

I’ve screamed and cried and felt empty and pushed people away. I’ve felt like tearing off my skin and forgetting I exist.

-the inherent ’wierdness’ that people bully you for.

I don’t think about it very much. But I was bullied as a kid. For years I convinced myself that being called ‘wierd’ was a compliment. I’ve only recently started realizing that I didn’t choose that word.

not to mention the inherent trauma of growing up nd in a nt world.

this is a corncrake chick, also commonly misidentified as a rail’s chick! crow babies are MUCH uglier…
