I've moved here from mastodon.social, am entirely new to the world of all things art, and am merely aspiring at the moment. Got myself an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil and have been doodling around in Procreate. I'm hoping to get inspired and learn from all your amazing pieces of artwork.

👋🏻 I'm moving over to @virtualwolf, my grand plans of getting all good at art when I got my iPad and Apple Pencil a year and half ago have very much not eventuated and realistically aren't going to, and I don't really feel like I contribute anything worth, well, anything on mastodon.art, haha.

(I'm still impressed by everyone's talent here, I'm just not one of the talented ones myself!)

Now let's see how well this account migration thing works...

It's Kristina's last day of work today so we celebrated with the world's trashiest dinner: frozen gozleme and potato gems, and I'm following it up with a Brookvale Union alcoholic ginger beer. 👌🏻

Some awesome things about my native language, Tagalog, on #NonBinaryDay:
- No gendered pronouns ("siya" is for everyone)
- No distinction between gender for a lot of relationships ("kapatid" means sibling)
- No grammatically gendered nouns or articles ("ang")
- The common form of many nouns is neutral. ("doktor" isn't always a male doctor, it's just anyone who's a doctor)
- It's entirely possible (even common) to tell a story and not mention anyone's gender.

Gender is a construct. 🇵🇭

I think it's no coincidence that someone like me, who has worked with computers for over a decade, prefers to own a dumb TV, a blender with mechanical knobs instead of a touchscreen, no "smart home" stuff, etc. I know how computers work, and for that reason I am terrified of them

Reading "Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race"

Barely into this and it's already talking about the experience @Are0h mentioned multiple times.

I am not surprised at all.

Wanted: POC consultants for sci-fi story

I'm currently working on a sci-fi story set in the far future, and it's my goal to create a world that does not feel white US/Euro-centric. I'd like to pay a few folks for some input as consultants. Mostly, describing how they see their culture developing in the future scenario I describe and being available for future questions. Feel free to ask questions here or via DM and please pass this along to folks who may be interested!

@error_1202 amen to this. Would also encourage people not to delete when they fuck up. Owning your mistakes means owning them, not removing the argument and providing fuel for the people that blame BIPOC for instigating.

Gender roles have got to go, if only for men's sake, setting aside for just a moment how important this is for everyone else: https://hedgehogreview.com/issues/identitieswhat-are-they-good-for/articles/what-is-it-like-to-be-a-man

( A more amusing summary here: https://pluralistic.net/2020/07/12/postal-petard/#xy )

Even when we personally resist these ideas (successfully or not), we are still ruled by men (and still surrounded by men) who fully embody them, making all of our lives pointlessly harder

civility is a core part of whiteness and something I was always taught growing up. like I'm poor as fuck working shitty part time minimum wage jobs to get my rent paid, but I was told all the ticks of "yes sir" "have a nice day ma'am" and "thank you very much" to blend in with the institutions of systemic classism and racism that will not let you in if you are not white. that shit kept me out of prison several times in pretending to be polite and well spoken to the police, you can;t have that same privilege as a non white person the pigs decide to fill their quotas with
