I've been feeling really drained recently, my sleeping pattern is a mess, and I've got a lot to prepare for the holidays so I'm postponing this to the 31st since I'm taking next week off so I can relax too!

No one told me that adult (and disabled) life would be me staring longingly at £90 kettle that's really cool and accessible 😔
I'll get you one day!!

I didn't get to draw too much this year due to energy levels and being busy but here's some doodles I did this year in between commissions!
#art #doodles
There are 7 doodles, 4 on a grey background and 3 on a white background. Starting on the grey background, top left is a doodle of my hamster fursona looking annoyed concentrating really hard. To the left of that in colour is a bust drawing of me as a human looking fed up, I have purple hair and a grey hoodie. In the middle left is a doodle of me on the toilet staring at a fly on the wall in panic, there is text and an arrow pointing to the fly saying "farting fly". To the right is a bust doodle of me if I was a dog furry, I have floppy ears, short hair, snout and tail. On the white background, the left is my hamster fursona looking angry in their wheelchair with their arms crossed. The middle doodle is a MSpaint doodle of my cat peaking out of a box and saying "mew". To the right of that is another MSpaint doodle of my black and white cat and dog sniffing at the same time, a poorly drawn box of cat food, while sat at the top of the stairs.

Drawing of how I've been feeling lately with the state of the world and how some people keep acting like assholes
#transartist #disabled #art
Digital art of me, white with short purple hair standing and holding my left hand out into a middle finger. I'm wearing a black shirt that says "My tummy hurts and I'm mad the government" with a desert rain frog on it. I'm also wearing black boots and black trousers with patches on them, one is a trans flag, another is a korn logo and the last one is a "eat the rich" patch. The background is a peach colour with fire.

Parallel play time with @iamremithetanuki.bsky.social
Drawing of me, and my friend Remi's fursona's parallel playing. Remi is a green and white tanuki, with white long hair in a high ponytail, and a large green and white striped tail. They are sat holding a game controller. My purple hamster fursona is laying in their tail playing on a 3DS. They have short purple hair, and are wearing green socks and a stripey shirt.

Panel 1: A guy is walking through a park. He's wearing a yellow cap backwards, purple puffy coat, and orange sweater with vertical stripes. He has brown hair poking through the back of the cap. He's saying "HAHA! So, funny story. When I was a kid ..." Panel 2: He raises his hand to continue to speaking to someone next to him, and maintains a happy smile as he says "Open Brackets Most Traumatic Shit I've Ever Heard Close Brackets". Panel 3: Shen, who was walking next to him with a red coat on top of his usual yellow hoodie, looks forward, stunned and wide-eyed. Panel 4: Shen, still wide-eyed, puts his hand on his shoulder as the first guy continues to smile innocently.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.

It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
popsci.com Popular Science @popsci.com · 9d
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

www.popsci.com/science/tran...
First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

I haven't been able to have my comms open much this year but thank you to everyone who supported me on #Vgen 💚
It's all been going towards my top surgery and I'm so excited to be closer to my goal!

Also so happy people are enjoying the gummy worm avatar!!
A Vgen 2025 recap, Vgen is a website where artists can list their commissions for people to find them easily. There are 7 boxes showing how my year went on Vgen. The top row says 14 completed comms, and 9 #vgenshop orders. The 2nd row says 3 boosts, 5 averge comm reviews, and an image of a stamp that says "perfect score" with 5 stars on it. The last row is an image of my top art showcase, which is a drawing of my fursona holding the agender flag. Next to is is my top product which is my gummy worm vtuber avatar, and last is my most requested commission listing, which is the simple chibi illustration.

Drop Fortnite and hold your fav streamers accountable for still playing and posting about it.

I'm so serious I'm blocking anyone I see still stream and talk positively about it.

"Rowling will undoubtedly receive substantial royalties from the Fortnite skins… That money will likely be funneled into her hate campaign against trans people.

"… over a third of… funding for the [U.K.] case came directly from Rowling…"

With alt text. Debunking the idea that you need AI to illustrate what your ideas will become—and the idea that words are insufficient.
Two panels- at the top, Rian Johnson’s kind of silly doodle of a woman sitting in a chair surrounded by knives. At the bottom, Ana de Armas as Marta Cabrera in Knives Out, sitting at the center in front of the central art piece, a sort of radiating halo of knives, all pointing at her head.

Hi streamers, you really need to realise that having flashing or strobing raid videos WITH 0 WARNING OF THAT, is INCREDIBLY dangerous and can harm new chatters who are photosensitive!!

At least add a warning or say a warning before you play it if you *must* have lights or strobes

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.
