Anyway, I hope everyone's hanging in there. We're doing our best over here. Here's some of the things that have brought me immense joy lately:
- gluten free baking so my husband has safe tasty treats
- my birthday present to myself
- practicing art & seeing progress
- spending time with my favorites

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

it's not an exaggeration to say that jk rowling is the world's most powerful and prominent transphobe outside of elon musk
it's easy to not buy a tesla and it's easy to not watch the harry potter tv show

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Life lately 💙 I've been:
- getting back into baking & going outside when I can
- meal prepping safe foods that don't fuck with my insides
- allowing myself an occasional silly purchase as a treat
- working on my personal projects when I have the energy

This "making sure the technology is built with artists in mind" excuse is so stupid. Artists using this technology just improves its ability to copy their processes, it's guaranteeing your own obsolescence. In creative industries, artists ARE the means of production, don't let them seize you.

Oh hey, I deleted this and Insta off my phone. I'll still check stuff on my laptop early 2000s style, but I'm tired of staring at my phone. Monitoring social media. My limited time is precious, and I'm tired of spending it watching how other people are spending theirs instead doing things with mine.
