Yea, that’s totally what art is for, to be bullied by the oppressive powers and tucked away until you feel it’s “safe”.

Rod Serling and how he put alien stories on Twilight Zone to sneak in discussions about racism in 1959 and in 2024 we’re afraid to feature cartoon trans people.

An episode from ‘Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur’ Season 2B will reportedly not make it to air on Disney Channel due to the current political climate in the US, according to crew members.

The episode is speculated to focus on Brooklyn, a transgender character in the show.

Ohio just passed a transgender bathroom ban, SB 104. Please, fellow Ohioans, call Governor DeWine at 614-466-3555 and ask him to veto the bill.

I’m scared.

It's #Portfolioday once again! Hey folks. I'm Aaron, a fantasy illustrator focusing on non-Eurocentric stories and characters as well as maps! #drawingwhileblack #blackartists
An image of a woman in a blue dress seated upon a throne with moon symbols on it looking down imperiously. She is surrounded by stones, gnarled trees and a stone circle behind her head. Her hair moves as though it's being blown by a strong wind or moved by ocean currents. Her dress flows into a waterfall that turns into a pool that flows into the foreground. A Black man in African inspired clothing and short dreads holds a book glowing between his hands in a dark forest. A spirit with a face like a west African mask and glowing blue eyes looms menacingly above him. The man has a book holster under his arms indicating he is a mage scholar from his setting and he looks forward confidently. A digital painting of a heavy set Black man seen from behind looking into a morning sky of pinks, purples and oranges across a vast open plain. Strange mountains that float and are broken in places with a clear magical feel are seen far in the distance ringing part of the bottom edge of the page. The figure is shirtless and holding a book with glowing blue writing in his right hand as his left is raised, shielding his eyes. Above him, centered in the frame a massive orange dragon, sleek with long straight wings dominates the image, its wings outstretched as it soars down and its sinuous body blends elements of eastern and western dragon designs. An illustration man of medium complexion with slicked back hair and an aquiline nose wearing thick furs and with a sword slung over his back is seen from a low angle in what appears to be a cave. He has a lit torch in his right hand illuminating the space, orange and red light bouncing around a greenish tinted background. He seems uncertain as he looks around. In the background a spirit looms over him, threatening him. It’s a strange hulking creature with a massive back hump, a circular head that seems to have no face, just a sphere of energy and horns jutting from it. One arm is a reaching the fingered claw; the other is a writhing mass of tentacles. The figure hasn’t seen the entity stalking him but seems to be looking around as if he suspects something is there but isn’t sure as to what. He doesn’t seem scared, but he should be.

Watching the edit, there is an obscene level of joy in my face on this episode of Um, Actually with Brennan on on the couch. I cannot wait for folks to see the new season.

a moving dispatch from a young palestinian journalist in gaza

We Palestinians have been asked to honor the humanity of the civilians killed by Hamas in Israel. I can do that, without hesitation. No civilian deserves to lose their life, and I have all too much experience of the suffering that war inflicts. But I cannot accept that it is right for the humanity of only one side of this conflict to be acknowledged. Three thousand children have died all around me in the past 20 days. Are their lives not worth mourning? Do they deserve to only be remembered as statistics?
