I do things

I think I redrew Alastor’s face like 8 times before I was happy with it. Sometimes it just do be like that.

Me this Sunday morning: I should be productive!

Me at 10 AM for 5 hours: let's draw fanart for Dealbreaker cuz I want to play with Procreate.

I ended up finishing it, so enjoy art of Al and his momma.

THEORY WITHOUT PRAXIS IS JUST A BOOK CLUB

ECOLOGY WITHOUT CLASS STRUGGLE IS JUST GARDENING

MUTUAL AID WITHOUT SOLIDARITY IS JUST CHARITY

ARMING WITHOUT ORGANIZING IS JUST TARGET PRACTICE

PROTEST WITHOUT DISRUPTION IS JUST A PARADE

PREPPING WITHOUT BUILDING COMMUNITY IS JUST CAMPING

So like a long time ago I had a professor that I absolutely adored. She happened to be Japanese American. She grew up speaking Japanese at home but never really spent a lot of time in Japan. She mostly spoke with other Japanese Americans and read books.

So one day early in her teaching career there’s an exchange student from Japan who’s having a hard time understanding a concept so she explained it to him in Japanese and then he looked absolutely rattled. Like in shock. Pale.

This is how she learned that the way she speaks Japanese makes her sound like a gang member.
