Now more than ever is the time to stop clutching your pearls over queer art and fiction that you find "uncomfortable". You can, will, and have contributed to the mindset that queer art deserves censorship.
Let people be freaks. DEFEND your freaks. Embrace the freak you've been hiding inside.

You are allowed to celebrate good things that are happening today: your birthday, a book coming out, new baby, new puppy, seeing your favorite piece of art in person, etc.
Joy is the knife that stabs into the heart of despair & apathy.
Feel your joys, big & small, & share them widely & loudly.

I was recently asked to talk about being a “content creator” and I had to flat out say I am not a content creator
To reframe what I do as an artist to being a content creator is something the internet has been pushing for a while and I just refuse to give into it or allow my life to become that

Maybe I'm old and just can't keep up, but I think one reason social media is unpleasant to me is because with ads, recommendations, replies, and reposts, my feed always feels very foreign to me and the posts by people I actually follow are rare in my own feed (on tw and ig)
