"The Forest"

An illustration I painted and turned into an animated gif. This was very tedious but I like how it turned out.

[ID: illustration silvery blue forest as if nighttime and moonlight. Wooden bridge over river. Silvery white creature walks towards the bridge. Resembles a lion with insectoid wings, one large eye and a mane made of flower petals or flat mushroom like shapes. As they cross the bridge they grow transparent and transform into a figure of a human, the same silvery white colour. The reeds and foliage of the forest move in the wind. The creatures reflection appears in the rippling water as it moves. /end ID]

music + stars

Somebody save her...

Ive lost all control and painted on the back of this denim jacket, might add a quote but I’m not sure which one

disabled people are worth whatever cost or resources is needed to keep them alive. disabled people are worth it even if they don't live long. they're worth it even if they will need extra support and resources for every day of their life. they're worth it even if they spend all they life indoors. none of it is wasted. none of it is in vain. time, effort, money, resources spent on a life are not wasted. these things have served their purpose. the joy of someone's existence is not undermined by not lasting forever. there's no meaningful point, some threshold where you can say "okay this is enough. after that it's not worth it." it's always worth it.

This is resonating deeply with me today. People have constantly been blocking the ramp out of my apartment lately and it makes me feel like I am not worth the effort. I'm glad there are still people who think otherwise

This is going to fucking suck but I will not do my enemies’ work for them. I will not just roll over and fucking die.

We’re going into an era that demands intelligence and courage and compassion. Bring all three to the table when you engage with your community, and DO engage with your community. It’s past time to take off the kid gloves when it comes to protecting our most vulnerable members, and people on here tend to be the sort that are willing to do that. Be tactical and safe in your efforts going forward, and stand with imperfect allies even when you’d rather not. If someone isn’t as far left as you’d like, still watch their back and buy time for them to do the same for you — leftist infighting has cost us so goddamn much already.

Intelligence. Courage. Compassion.

If you aren't sure you can bring enough intelligence or enough courage to the table, then focus on bringing compassion; it's the least intimidating of the three skills to build up, and EVERYONE benefits from expressions of it.

And while you're contemplating compassion: there's no harm in being earnest or sincere, either. I know we're all Very Online and super into being Cool™ and ironic and whatnot, but—fuck it. The older I get, the more I realize that doesn't matter a damn bit. It's okay to be kind to people and mean it. It's okay to be compassionate and not worry that other people will think you're too much.

Care radically. Care wildly. We're going to need so much compassion, and the compassion you can give to the world is different than the compassion anyone else can.

(And if that sounds scary? Care a tiny little bit. Care on tiptoe. Because compassion isn't something you're born with—as @lynati said upthread, it's a skill you can build.)

The Past (Thomas Cole, 1838)

The Present (Thomas Cole, 1838)

1838 was a rough goddamn year for that castle

there's this word in Serbian 'vukojebina' which literally means 'the place where wolves go to fuck' but they use it to mean 'in the middle of nowhere'. it sure does the job well, but the visual stayed with me longer than I would have liked it to.

for chinese we have 鸟不生蛋, which is used to describe a land so barren and remote that not even birds would lay their eggs there.

In German we have "am Arsch der Welt", which means "at the world's ass"

In Finnish it's "Jumalan selän takana" - behind god's back.

I propose that these are all the same place. The world's ass, behind god's back, where birds would not nest and where wolves go to fuck.

Australia has "Woop Woop" (origin unknown but dating to late 1800s if not earlier) as in "they live way out in Woop Woop". "out beyond the black stump" is a similar Aussie phrase.

On another token, Poles say 'hen, hen' when describing something being far away but like, affectionately??

When I was a kid, someplace out in the sticks was "Left Armpit, Pennsylvania."

Americans do infact have the phrase "butt-fuck nowhere" which feels like an important possibile addition

Yeah, I think I just got the Bowdlerized version. :P

You can't leave this in the notes.

"I can control the element of surprise." "You're hired." "What?" "That's your superpower right? You're hired."
