What's happening with the Chicago Public Libraries right now is terrible. The proposed budget of the city would CUT 89 CPL positions. Importantly, 78 positions were lost LAST year. That would be 167 positions in 2 YEARS while COPS KEEP GETTING MORE MONEY. ENOUGH. SAY NO.

Wild sort of feeling as an old Millennial queer to ride the societal merry-go-round.

From:
-Gay marriage illegal
-AIDS is a death sentence

To:
-Gay marriage legal
-AIDS possibly cured in my lifetime

But wait:
-Gay marriage may become illegal again
-Vaccines believed unnecessary bc they worked

If anyone needs a good art book that teaches how to draw fat bodies hit me up cause I have a great one
the low rate of fat representation in art as a whole, including as frequently taught in life drawing, is one of the factors by which fat folks are invisibilized.

it leads to us being treated as less than human, because people aren’t used to seeing us in the media they consume.

(1/2)
I spent a lot of my life drawing stick-thin figures in my art because I was just as immersed in these unhealthy body-standards as anyone else. I've made an active effort these past few years to encompass a far wider spectrum of body-types. Embrace diversity in physicality, it is an act of rebellion.

art teachers: teach how to draw fatness! i had a teacher who professed that it was better to learn from thin models, and that’s true if you only ever wanna draw thin people, but guess what? fat people are also people and we will never be given the representation we deserve if “too complex” to teach.
Honestly, it's so much harder because nobody bothered to teach us. I've been making my characters fatter over time, and purposely making chubby characters just because it's a skill I want to have and a representation that I believe should exist

My personal “Don’t give to the Salvation Army” story:
When I was homeless in 2019, the Salvation Army shelter refused to give me a bed (even though they were available), because I was on immunosuppressant meds and they didn’t want to be responsible or liable if I got more sick or died on premises. They’d rather I die on the street.
It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

If you still wear a mask at all, even just when sick or at the hospital or on public transit, THANK YOU!
If you still try to isolate or protect others when you are sick, THANK YOU.
If you still test for COVID when you have any symptoms, THANK YOU.

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

This goes back to an ongoing conversation I'm in about givers vs takers. And how it's often seen as a norm in romantic relationships to put up with behaviors that are unacceptable in any other relationship dynamic. IME takers aren't gender specific, but we do accept more of the behavior from cis men

ALT Text benefits everyone

Alt text helps with accessibility, identifying/explaining elements you might not get to in your posts and makes your posts/work more discoverable - Make sure to toggle it on to “require alt text” in your settings

Artists PLEASE I am begging you to use alt text on your art. I want to support you and RT your art but I'm not going to if it does have alt text, and there are so, so many people who feel the same

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

No auroras here due to the freezing fog, but it means we have had another cool phenomenon.

Hoar frost. And it’s particularly long and spiky.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
