This is my best friend and one of the best people I know. She's so close to finishing school, and barring a single B, has been knocking back nothing but A's. I love her and I'm so fucking proud of her.

Hey y'all I do not do this very often. This one is important to me personally, though, and it would mean the world to me if you helped a trans woman out who's this 🀏 close to getting her university degree. Please, PLEASE help out and share. I'm being so serious.

Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.

Still obsessed with these designs

Welp, Nexus Alpha VN has been put on indefinite hold but since @ela-bambust.bsky.social is a real one about sharing the art, I'm at least gonna show off all the romance options that got developed because I'm proud of them! Might show more expression sheets if people are interested.

ok not to play favorites with the NA girls but like, LOOK AT HER. You know she smells insane and is incapable of a normal conversation

This Pride month, remember that straight trans people often have to go through our own intense journey of coming to terms with our identity, and that fundamentally alters the meaning of straight. We are not the same as cishet people, without ID changes most of our marriages are at risk like any SSM.

I'm emotionally ruined. Somebody left a whole ass ROLL of bowling alley style, arcade style PARTY CARPET on the street outside my apartment and I decided to be responsible and not take it. I don't wanna risk bedbugs, and I have no way to properly clean it, so outside it stays. 😭😭😭

Piece of advice from experience: If there is someone you’re a fan of, be they musician, writer, artist, YouTuber, essayist, philosopher, whatever, ask what they could possibly do to lose your support for them. If the answer is β€œnothing” for ANY reason, reevaluate how you feel about that person.

Y’all I love these ding dongs so much. We’ve played a softball game, been menaced by a radio DJ, rode a dinosaur skeleton, got too drunk at myrtle beach, visited The Straightest Gay Bar On Earth, and done multiple heists. Also this art slaaaaps they have so much personality oh my god

I haven't posted art in forever, so I might as well dig through some of the stuff I haven't posted while I've been a total hermit. Here's the current cast of the Monster Hearts campaign I've run with @derbyghost.bsky.social for fucking years at this point. (details below)

Ruth Mercia, my character. Preacher's daughter from Point Pleasant, WV, Ruth feels as alien in the world as she does inside. Timid and desperate to be normal, Ruth carries a hidden vindictive streak that transforms her into the Flatwoods Monster, capable of unspeakable violence. (7/7)

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

Back in WV before the 2016 election, people treated me like I was insane for constantly telling them Trump talked about nukes like toys. I remember telling friends, coworkers and strangers alike. We're ten years down the fucking road and here we are. Fucking hate this.

This week, I got the bottom surgery consult I'd been waiting a year and a half for. Got given an estimate of another year and a half until surgery. Don't super know how to feel about it. I know I should be happy the opportunity is there at all, but it feels so far away.

I've struggled to engage with basically any form of social media since the move. Feels like we keep just narrowly surviving by the skin of our teeth because of the kindness of our loved ones, and that's a hard place to exist. I'd like to try to dig out of the hole. Thanks for the patience.

We landed an apartment! I haven't been talking about it a ton, but I've been like Physically sick with anxiety from apartment hunting. It's been such a dire few weeks that we were all scared of the worst outcomes. On the plus side, I'm so happy. On the other, I got sick πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ

I'm trying hard to get back to cranking out art for people, and I'm so thankful for the patience from my remaining commissioners. We're out of the worst of it and I don't want to puke from anxiety every two seconds. Now I just have to deal with having a fever off and on lmao.

In light of everything, one reason ICE needs to be abolished at the absolute minimum, is that it is one big pedophile ring. Every single ICE officer is either sexually assaulting minors, or is complicit with the sexual assault of minors happening within their organisation on an industrial scale.

Casey S. Pumpkins πŸŽƒ@caseyexplosion.bsky.social

Billions for an organisation full of nonces who've had over 5,000 complaints of sexual assault against minors back in 2019, the world knew this was happening during Trump's first term. A nazi pedophile organisation is getting billions so they can keep molesting. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...

Haven't been posting at all this week really. Finding a new apartment has been stressful as hell, with some places not even running our credit checks and another saying "Hand me 9100 bucks and it's yours." We're a month away from this lease ending and it's sobering.

All that on top of the news taking a splash mountain style sudden vertical drop despite already being in hell. Mental health's been suffering like crazy. I'm still here, and I'll be more active over the next few days. I've got art to eat and boxes to pack.

The most upsetting thing about being trans today and knowing our recent history is that we’re not fighting for anything new! We had the right to go to the right bathrooms, access healthcare even under 18 (with extra hoops), and even play sports! It wasn’t everywhere, but nobody really cared!
