i cannot speak my dialect around white without havin’ to assimilate unless i want people to mock me or just laugh at everything i say, even if i’m actually mad. other times, i just feel like i come off as rude to white people. in english i see examples of my native dialect be used as a “incorrect examples” of Real English. the reason i write in my dialect is so i don’t lose it bein’ surrounded by so many white people who only tolerate me as long as i throw my culture away. usin’ “is” instead of “are” in African American English (AAE) is the most common feature in the dialect i’d argue it’s part of what make it so distinct, along with the accent as well. i will not be fooled by white people bothered by grammar, cause 99% it’s racism they probably don’t even know of.

Ngl this has me kind of mad. Someone made AI slop of my art to advertise some slop app. I’m so mad because I declined hundreds of sponsorship offers for apps that felt exploitative of vulnerable groups and „ADHD-curing“ vitamins, and I’m here feeling bad advertising my book and they just go and do this. One of these vitamin grifters have used my art before without approval.

- I’ve only ever accepted one sponsorship for a drawing tablet

- I don’t use AI

- I don’t partner with vitamins, herbs, coachings, apps, anything that would make use of my target audience and that I don’t strongly believe in myself

So please know that if I do sponsorships I’ll post about it on my own channels to let you know. Please be safe out there, report these ads and never hesitate to ask me if you’re unsure.

And it should go without saying but I would never insult myself as an artist to this degree by using AI to make images for me. I do not use AI and despise having my art fed into it.

soliloquy by an immortal cave painter.

The Butterfly Boy: a Fairytale.

A fairytale about the feeling of waiting on the edge of massive existential societal tragedies you are powerless to prevent, the way that we scapegoat the victims of broader societal failures as if they were the Cause, and the way that we treat children who will never grow into a "conventional" adulthood.

OF COURSE CLEO KNEW THAT WASNT ABOLISH!

He said he didn’t care for the blessings nor did he want to randomly fight unless he had to.

Also he told her specifically about how being neutral with people is good. Why would him suddenly hitting her not come off as suspicious to Cleo? (Also apo’s feather but still she probably knew anyway)
