So the banners from earlier are gone. I don’t know...

For your own posts, they’re sending emails if the appeal succeeded, but not notifying within the site itself. I’m still seeing banners on some reblogs I couldn’t appeal.

An LGBTQ game zine Kickstarter, which involved an image of a man eating a popsicle in his underwear

A person with a newborn baby (no nipples, “female-presenting” or otherwise!)

An anatomy tutorial that used naked people because that’s how anatomy works

Their algorithm just straight up doesn’t work. Multiple pieces of my art of fully clothed characters in neutral poses (including some neck-up portraits) have gotten flagged.

I’m pretty sure it’s just supposed to be the things they listed in their post, they’re just that bad at identifying them.

They are physically adults.

They are mentally adults.

Some specific DD adult doesn’t meet an arbitrary standard you’ve imposed for “adult” behavior/experience? Guess what, they’re still an adult.

Developmentally disabled people are the age they are. An 81-year-old DD person is mentally and physically 81. A 23-year-old DD person is mentally and physically 23.

So if they’ve hit the age at which their culture recognizes adulthood (ex: 18 in the US), they’re an adult!

Sincerely,

a developmentally disabled adult who is sick of being treated like a small child by patronizing non-DD people

Should people who might take advantage of a person for their disability be held accountable for taking advantage, or should it not be an issue because the DD person is an adult?

My answer:

Some developmentally disabled people are particularly susceptible to deception. If someone takes advantage of that, it is wrong, but I don't see that it's particularly different from the neurotypical people who buy losing lottery tickets every week, always expecting the next one to be the big winner.

Woman: If there’s no one good, then choose the lesser evil. That way the most evil won’t win.

Been doing these art improvement redraws of my OC, Green 210, for four years now! technically three, the first year was just a draw…

I’ve gotten better at judging how much of the canvas to use – all of these pictures are 2:3, but the 2016 picture is 4388 px wide (diminishing returns for this level of detail!), the 2017 picture is 552 px wide (cramped!), and the 2015 and 2018 pictures are 1280 px wide. The 2018 version uses space much more efficiently.

This year I continued the tradition of including more of Green in the image than the previous year – now they have a waist! I changed their proportions because while an alien teenager can technically look however, I do need to signpost their age for the human audience. I tweaked some other things to keep the alien feel. Also, their new hairstyle is WAY easier to draw.

Me, my mum, partner, and our two cats moved house recently, and on the day we moved I got a call from work saying I was being let go.

Our first month of rents all paid and my dad said he’d be able to provide some help, but obviously that’s a temporary measure.

Chances are good it’s gonna take me a while to find a new job that’ll pay enough to cover my half of the rent, so in the meantime any donations of any size would mean the world to us.

Thank you so much, love and peace!
