Reminder that if you're trans like me every day you're alive is a protest. If I keep making art that's a protest. My body and heart are broken many times over; I'm not gonna beat myself up about what extra I "could be doing" beyond the help I already give to others. Cis/abled folks can step tf up.

I finally got a job interview after about 1.5 years of desperately looking for a new job. I'm anxious - I was one of the first few interviews of many they wanted to do, but interviews always stress the living hell out of me. Wish me luck y'all - it'd be for more money than I've ever made at a job 🧡

Reminder for those not paying attention:

Being anti-genAI means EVERY form of genAI media, not just visual media

Pictures, videos, voices, songs, ALL OF IT!!!

Please consume your media critically!!! Look at who is making it before sharing it blindly!!!

Been busy with getting packed up and ready to move again, this time potentially even having to figure it out without a car, but y'all lookit! :3

I'm gonna put it on my 'puter, the one with all my silly gay friends inside it 🥰🧡🐙

Hiatus should be over after this move gets all settled
May 15, 2025 at 12:35 AM
Just wanted to officially announce this #hiatus - I'll still be silently focusing on any active art commissions, while I try really hard not to staple this eviction notice to one of my roomie's forehead after what he pulled.

Luckily my other roomie's workin' on securing our next place right now.

If a disabled person asks for help, don’t tell them to “try harder”.

Asking for help is one of the most difficult things for us, and I assure you we tried absolutely everything before we did it.

Ableism makes you think we can “fix ourselves”. It’s not true. You can’t try harder out of disability

If you think an autistic person is "dense" because they asked you clarifying questions, I hate to break it to you, but they needed to ask follow up questions because you didn't explain yourself well enough. Not because they have comprehension issues.

Hope that helps 🙃

As #artists, we know better than anyone that there's a fine nuance between ACTUAL human imperfection/quirks and mechanical imperfection & that will always be a factor at play, fighting the AI slop cultural phenomenon.

AI killed my imposter syndrome - I know I'm better than it in every way😏

I’ll never forget one of my thesis supervisors going “YOU CANT JUST FOCUS ON IMPROVING FASTER, ITS GONNA TAKE THE TIME IT TAKES”

Been going bonkers about making stuff faster & this man’s words are alone in the noggin’ fighting the demons.

The reward of content creation, streaming, making art is never money. That keeps you alive.

It’s having real flesh and blood humans thank you for your work

It makes like worth living, it gives the world colour when you feel like you can add some yourself and have people see it

As a vtuber, you tend to have way better experiences with artists when you treat them like human beings, step up to either take emergency com slots or share emergency com announcements as much as you can, give them all the flexibility on deadlines, tip, and credit them every time you use their work!

damn, as a #3D artist, it's been a while since I've done some #2D #sketches
gotta shake the rust off in the bit of free time I do get ;w; (this is gonna be for a friend)

With everything these last few weeks, I've been needing an extended break from #streaming
But y'all, I got my #VGen page started and with time I'll add to it! Check it out :3 🐙🧡🏳️‍⚧️

#Commissions have always stressed me out, but I think I'm ready now

FYI a few years back I made a higher-resolution #Ariral #3Dmodel from #VoicesOfTheVoid - if you haven't heard of the game play it, it's so cool - also you can freely download and use the model from my #Gumroad: aayla.gumroad.com/l/ariral 🧡🐙

This is a petition to grant asylum in Australia to LGBTQ+ nationals of the United States. I'm queer and trans, so I made sure to scrutinise it more strictly than I would have if it concerned a group I wasn't in. Having done that: if you are Australian, you need to sign this petition.
I recommend that fellow Aussies sign this petition regarding the asylum of LGBT people from the US

While I acknowledge streaming may not be "hard" work, per say, other streamers I think can attest, it can sometimes be hard to be "on" all the time so frequently - I'll return to streaming my #3D #art on #Twitch tonight @ 7:30 pm ET 🧡🐙

I'll talk on why mental health breaks are so important too 💜

Especially now in the U.S. I as a trans woman advocate for being proudly & fearlessly visible every day, now

Every #TdoV we should use to serve as a reminder to support and care for the trans people in your life - we need it now more than ever before 💜🤍🩶🖤
