As an autistic trans person I won’t be able to attend any protests tomorrow for my own safety, but I will be spreading as much media about it as possible.

To those protesting: Good luck and stay safe. Remember to wear a mask for both your privacy and the health of yourself and those around you.

Bonus (past) SuperBatober just to wish everyone a PEACEFUL week! And maybe a cute one too. ❤️🦅

A past SUPERBATOBER (for the prompt EAGLE) where Batgirl and Supergirl are getting a visit from Season 1 Peacemaker and his pet/sidekick Eagly.

Peacemaker: Eagly is not CUTE. He's a DEADLY instrument of PEACE.
Batgirl: Nah, he's adorable.
Supergirl (giving a happy Eagly a loving pet beneath his beak): Who's a good deadly instrument...? ❤️

a painting of a black cat with big round eyes sitting in a pumpkin patch. in the background we can see a countryside landscape with fields and a small cottage. there are chickens in the grass nearby and a wheelbarrow filled with pumpkins with a black cat sleeping on them. there's also a black cat in front of the house door in the distance. the color palette is warm oranges, pinks, yellows and muted greens.

Drawing of a black cat strolling through a colorful early autumn landscape

drawing of a black cat with a babushka headscarf stirring a pot of pumpkin soup with a wooden spoon she's holding with her teeth. she's surrounded by labeled pumpkin soup ingredients like garlic, ginger, hot pepper, pumpkin, coconut milk or cream, and garlic bread to serve with the soup.

Hello #PortfolioDay!
I’m Runo, a freelance fantasy artist specializing in characters ✦🌿

A black and white drawing of a character with curly horns and long dark hair worn in two loose braids, surrounded by a forest background and a decorative frame. There's a scar running across their mid chest and ribs. The character is gently holding their hands over the scar, with a calm expression on their face, eyes closed.

A black and white drawing of a long-haired character with antlers and fluffy ears, portrayed against a forest background. A circular shape frames their face from behind, and multiple sparkly shapes decorate the portrait.

A black and white drawing of a character with long dark hair and curly horns, surrounded by stylized foliage. A symbolic dagger seems to be piercing their throat. The character has a calm expression - eyes closed and a subtle smile on their lips.

A decorative and detailed black and white portrait of a long-haired character with pointy ears. They are dressed in fancy clothing and wear jewelry. Their eyes seem to be slightly glowing as they gaze at the viewer.

I've said it before and I'll say it again

racists, transphobes and bigots more generally are absolutely objectively and factually those things.

But they truly do not believe they are not for any real reason. they just know those things are bad and refuse to accept them about themselves.

In November 2024, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Liz Truss, Robert Jenrick, and Lee Anderson (among other high-profile political figures) attended a dinner at the Carlton Club where guests laughed at Hitler jokes and sang ‘we’re all racist now’. #ToryRacism

I'm helping someone find an artist for a graphic novel. Please give me suggestions for living artists who can do all of the following:
- real world references, including specific places/ styles
- fantasy characters
- fantasy worldbuilding
- maximalism/ detail in the art
- work looks great

🧵
Trump literally just signed an executive order directing AG Pam Bondi & drunk U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to reinstate the death penalty in DC.

This disgusting act is authoritarian overreach that tramples decades of local democracy & imposes a policy DC residents overwhelmingly rejected.

power lines going down a back lane, silhouetted against a pink and purple twilight sky. the trees and houses along the lane are all cast in blue shadow. the colours are laid out in a way that suggests the bi flag. very bisexual lighting. a street lamp glows, and some birds flying in the distance.
