The (Star Trek themed) vibe I bring to the party:

My mom is nearly 70. She has never owned a house or taken a real vacation. She’ll never be able to retire. She will work until she dies, because the country we’ve been told is the greatest on earth is a merciless machine that runs on the blood of the poor.

A quilt clipped to a fence in a meadow surrounded by trees. It reads ‘this machine kills fascists’ in pastel rainbow colors across a cream-colored background fabric. The binding (trim) is also rainbow.

"Suffering for our art" means putting in the hard work of learning how to do it, dealing with failure and mistakes, pushing on through it, persevering, maintaining discipline and passion until we get to the level we wanna be at. It doesn't mean "getting treated like shit by others and being ok w/it"

The "Starving artist" trope was started by ppl who didn't wanna pay artists (writers, painters, musicians, etc) & wanted it to seem a good thing. Artists suffering for art, starving artists, doing it for love only/shunning money - All myth turned folklore as reason to NOT FUCKING PAY US OUR DUE.

Had to learn Vygotsky’s theory irl the hard way before ever going to teaching school.

1. Get labeled as gifted due to AuDHD brain and comfy home life
2. Receive relentless messaging from adults about doing your best and fulfilling your potential

This is literally Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal development approach to pedagogy.
Infographic in the shape of a target. The center reads “The Comfort zone- What it feels like: It feels good to stay here, where it’s comfy and safe. Boredom and complacency stifle learning and growth. What it’s good for: a safe place to reflect.” The middle band reads “The Learning Zone- What it feels like: Challenge, excitement, and engagement create learning and growth. Uncomfortable, requires focused effort and attention. What it’s good for: Where you learn and grow.” The outside band reads “The Alarm Zone- What it feels like: Stress and overwhelm block learning and growth. Learning is beyond what you are familiar with and becomes very difficult. What it’s good for: It’s time to stop and reorient, seek a different direction to keep learning and stay engaged.”

happy Pride month specifically to the artist and writer duo from page 148 of Scott McCloud's Making Comics (2006)
A panel from page 148 of Scott McCloud's Making Comics (2006). It depicts a writer and artist duo regarding each other, the writer in overalls and sneakers, and the artist in boots with low-cut jeans and a cool belt. In between is the avatar of Scott McCloud explaining "In some cases, the collaboration of words and lectures involves the collaboration of a separate writer and artist."

These are the voyages of the Starship Enterpurrise!

@kenbabe.bsky.social and I’s blended cat family.
Group character drawing of 5 anthropomorphic cats in TNG Starfleet uniforms. Lafayette (black) sits in the captain’s chair. Butternut (orange) is the first officer. Terry (black) is perched atop the back of the captain’s chair, Halloween cat style, in a security uniform with a phaser in his mouth. Walter (fluffy gray and white) is the ship’s counselor in blue. Hella (brown tabby) is the CMO and holds a hypospray.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows
TOS scene. We're outdoors in an arena of some kind with old rocky columns and artifacts surrounding an open dirt area designed for some kind of event or show. A sky colored red lends itself to the passion on display. In the middle, Spock and Kirk are laying on the ground together, Kirk on top, Spock on the bottom, thier bodies intertwined. A love that dareth not speaketh it's name. No caption.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride~ 🌸

If you see this, QRP with queer art!! 💜✨
Acrylic painting of Kirk and Spock. They stand facing away from the viewer in front of a starry blue and teal gradient field. Spock has his hands clasped behind him while Kirk has one hand on his hip and the other on Spock’s shoulder. Watercolor portrait of 4 women in red, orange, and blue tones. The artist and her friends with wide smiles. Maker portrait of my girlfriend, Kendall. She wears a crochet wizard hat, heart shaped glasses, and a lace ribbon tied around her neck. Not my art. Screenshot of a tweet by @passionpeachy. It reads “everything I make has homosexual implications. every line, every pixel. if I draw a circle on a canvas that circle is gay

I made this textile last year for my sister. Her partner just finished the bench and upholstery work. It is great to see it all together!

#fiberart #functionalart
A wooden bench with hooked fiber art upholstered to the sides and top. The fiber art depicts a sperm whale swimming through blue waves, with air bubbles rising above. The fiber art is wool on linen, using rug hooking and quillie techniques.

Reading this interview with Maksim Borisov, a gay Russian dissident who sought asylum in the US last year only for ICE to arrest and detain him in February.

He's currently held in Eloy Detention Center in Arizona where he says "trans people… just disappear."
Maksim tells me he has developed a kinship with the transgender detainees in particular, who he says face brutal harassment from both guards and fellow inmates. “I’ve befriended several,” he says. “But here, especially for trans people… just disappear. One day they’re here, the next day, no one knows. Were they deported? Released? No one tells us.” In that landscape of indifference, Maksim has found a kind of resistance in solidarity. He is part of a small community of queer detainees who take care of each other. “I’d be happy if America wants to deport me,” he says. “Just not to Russia. Mexico would be fine.”
