Living in a different country than your family is rough. When things get bad I can't go stay with my sister for a few days to get my head straight or to have a break. I just have to push through without that very tangible place of material support. It's fine and I'll live, it's just. Man.

I'm lucky to have started building support networks here in france but, being autistic, nothing can compare to what I have grown to know best over the course of my life. I love France and I want to stay here. I'm learning what that will mean for me, and how you will never stop missing home.

Like. I won't lie. I'm having a fucking bad time at the moment. It makes you miss the familiar more than ever. I'm an optimistic person but I struggle seeing a silver lining about it. You just have to weather the shit and sink or swim. I really hope I can swim.

I'd often go and stay out in the bush with my sister when I needed support. She would let me crash on her sofa and id get to listen to the trees bend in the storm at night, and process difficult times from afar. Being away from it feels like I lack a very familiar lifeline.

My litmus test for new friends forever hinges on how they treat furries and objectum folks, and then whether they have to defensively posture against it before saying that theyre cool with these groups of people. "Its extremely not for me, thats not my thing, but-" ok girl no one was saying it was.

Leading with defensiveness instantly reveals a fear of association, which tells me you're not as normal about these groups as you think you are. I care abt this so much bc it instantly tells me what someone's definition of "acceptable" queerness and autism is.

Spent some time tattoo planning today. I drew up some designs on my arm and my friend helped me refine what I want. I did it over a few times but settled on this. I want it on both arms I think! Took photos for reference and now just need to make it permanent (:

I've had to use Twitter again to try and find work in specific spaces, and I've noticed something interesting (derogatory). It started off by feeding me a lot of transphobia. Straight up terf content. Horrible horrible rightwing stuff. So ofc I start blocking accounts. So then the algorithm

Indoctrinate you into transphobia, but what I can do is make you infight in circles with other trans people and divide your community. I can make you police and discriminate against each other so we don't even have to (: how about that then (:

Starts getting the idea, it's like ohhh haha ok I get it ;) and it stops feeding me cis transphobia, and starts feeding me inter community transmedical discourse. Trans people who hate trans people. Posts just made to divide the community. The algorithm was like ohhh you're a tr*nny so I cant

I've been working every day this week on my procreate pencil pack, I'm hoping i can get it finished up and ready for sale by around the 15th-20th of this month. Its looking really good! I added 5 new pencils this week and they all look so fantastic when used together with my paper textures.

pinlite.app now has AI reporting and filtering independent of Pinterest. Users can report (or hide - only for themselves) pins that are AI. When a certain number of reports have been amassed, the pin is hidden from ALL searches (if the filter is on).

oh you use BRUSHPACKS that EMULATE A REAL MEDIUM???? Get off your LAZY ASS and LEARN TO OILPAINT????? Just go BUY REAL MARKERS AND LEARN TO USE THEM? Whats the POINT? You may as well just ai generate art that looks like it was made with markers at that point??????? 😀😀😀😀😀 ok sorry im crashing out

lowkey lazy and cheating if you think about it like why didn't they learn to freehand draw their hands instead of tracing them? Their skills are still at zero they literally learned nothing??? πŸ™„πŸ™„ okim done im DONE IM FINE IM F I N E

The only valid way to draw becomes charcoal on the face of a cave but only if you've made sure to never look at the subject of what you're drawing, actually just be blind, claw your eyes out, thats the only way it comes from real raw self-created suffering-built skill!!!

mixed media is cheating! Photography is cheating! The only real and valid skill is accurately capturing something with lines you draw with nothing but your hand, using minimal-to-no reference! Composition? Design? Colour-grading? Compositing? Typography? Silhouette? Those aren't real skills i guess!

they're posting videos themselves freehand drawing like 😏😏😏 heh, you lazy so-called-artists need to learn what drawing,, actually is, like me, a real artist, πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ‘‹πŸ†πŸ’¦ it is so embarrassing you are so embarrassing please for the love of god give me a lobotomy

I genuinely believe anti-tracing ideology is a slipery slope. Because it then becomes oh well in that case if you photobash youre also cheating! and then if you use too much reference you're cheating! and then actually, if you think about it, digital art is lowkey cheating!

New base - boar! I've completely lost track of my social media this past while, so I'll post all the way through this commission in the next few days. The clay sculpt here is unfinished, and then we skip ahead to the hinged cast with final painted jawset.

Ughghgh I think I have to use Twitter again for a short time due to some job opportunities I'm trying to get in groups that haven't yet migrated to blue sky. I need the work so bad and I don't know how else I can get my art in front of them. Someone lobotomize me.

To clarify, I can understand why some working artists are still using it. I have friends who have been unable to make the switch due to audience reach. I can't expect people with a deep financial dependence on Twitter to just drop the platform. And also what is everyone else fucking doing.
