A lil personal piece I did because Heather was on the mind for a while.

Heather sits on a comfortable chair, shadowed in darkness. Beside her is a mug on a side table. The text on the mug reads "Get out there and ruin someone's day" in a soft cursive font.

The overall composition is sinister, and floating text beside Heather reads "A Therapist helps you. A Psychologist understands you."

i think it's good that every symbol of the old order is being drowned in tacky gold paint or torn down or taken out of the nitrogen vault and bleached with shitty LED light fixtures or simply left abandoned. Americans do not deserve to believe in any symbol of their evil country anymore.

“The would-be doll is encouraged to see herself not as a person with inherent worth but a collection of assets – lips, tits, hair, wits, followers, “designer vagina” – that make her marketable. Her self-worth becomes tied to how well she cultivates these assets to serve the interests of capital.”

I wrote a little essay about “designer vaginas” and the celeb-ification of transness

Ari Drennen, journalist and LGBTQ+ director at Media Matters, tweeted the above on 14/10/25. There are three ways I can think of to analyse her comments:

Not great shots but some shots of the crowds from the protest, we were lined up along a bridge on a highway so it was tough to get a shot of everything. #protest #NoKings

Ngl the No Kings protest by me was surprisingly successful, we had a dsa contingent that all went together with dsa flags, signs, how to report ICE zines, the wine moms loved us lol. There was like 6 counter protesters against well over 1k protesters, they had weak loser energy.

Tried doing some fun little sketches since I picked up some new colored pens and paint markers and I’m really happy with how they turned out, the colors are delightful to play around with 1/2 #art #penandink #paintmarkers #sketching

a zine about queered bodies (1/2)
#zine #myart #werewolf #transsexual #lycanthropy #originalart

Two red hands come together and form a shadow puppet approximation of a dog head. The shadow it casts is distinctly more canine than it should be. Text reads:

A zine about queered bodies: lycanthropy and it's sibling, transsexuality.

A red wolf jumps across the bounds between two pages. Text reads:

Lycanthrope (noun): A person who can transform into a wolf, as described in folktales. Synonym: werewolf.

The lycanthrope is many things, but "heterosexual" or "cisgender" is not one.
To understand the lycanthrope, you must acknowledge it's nature. It cannot be easily categorized as "man" or "beast". Further, the lycanthrope, as it is caught between worlds, cannot be sexed. With a body that changes so willingly, human ideas of how bodies should look or perform simply do not apply.
A werewolf is a transient thing.

Transsexual (noun): A transgender person, especially one seeking sex reassignment. Synonym: werewolf.

The transsexual is a kind of werewolf, then. It, too, is caught between worlds. "Man" and "woman" are just as arbitrary as "man" and "beast". The transsexual cannot be sorted.
It's transformation may be slower, more intentional, but it is a transformation. The transsexual becomes othered in body and mind, just as the lycanthrope does. So I ask you:
Do you see the beauty in a queered body?

A clawed hand covered in blood on a gradient background. Text reads:

A queered body represents a threat, and so is vile to many. It's very existance is an offence to decent society.
But there's no fault to be found in the body of the lycanthrope nor the transsexual.
Even if shocking, or disgusting, or gross, there is not inherent harm done by the werewolves. A queered body is no less desirable than a typical one.

In fact, it can be more desirable.

Car got totaled on the way back from visiting family. Every step forward is 20 steps back. Tired. Getting a rental car to get back home. Lost work shifts. Don’t know what to do anymore to catch up. Hate to ask for help now, but anything helps. Thank you.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

I’m cooking guys I swear!!!

Depicted in the image are two zines, one in full ink (left) and one in pencil (right). The image on the cover of both zines is the same: a side view of a transgender man transformed into a werewolf, wearing nothing but a jockstrap, a red and black pup hood, and leather mitts. He is in front of a full moon, sandwiched between the title text, “FULL MOON,” in a bold, white font against a black background.
