I reblog things here. Main blog is Aposterous (I post art there)
130 posts
I’m a cis-gender man which basically means that, when I was born, the doctor went “It’s a boy!” and when I was old enough to understand I agreed with him.
The thing is, I don’t know why I feel like a man. I was teased and bullied for it a lot when I was little. I’ve never had stereotypically American male interests. I never cared about sports or cars or guns. I was more interested in music and cooking and the arts. I’ve always been emotionally in tune and sensitive, even when I did my best to suppress my emotions to survive a childhood of abuse from other children.
It’s not physical either. I don’t feel like a man because I have a penis or a beard. If you put my brain in a robot body or any other body, my essence would still feel male (I assume). I literally can’t imagine what being any other gender would feel like, since I feel so acutely male.
I think that’s why the concept of being transgender always made sense to me. I’m a man. I don’t have any bloody clue why I feel like a man, but I don’t feel that it’s tied to my body or my interests or the way that I’ve been treated. I feel like a man because of something beyond that. Something ephemeral. So, why couldn’t others feel the same? Why couldn’t a person who’s been misidentified as a girl feel like a boy for the exact same nebulous reasons that I do?
And, since gender really doesn’t make any sense to me anyway, why couldn’t there also be people who feel as if they don’t have one? Or who flow across genders like a ship on a map?
Are there people out there whose sense of their own gender is inseparable from their physical form? If you put those people into robot bodies or, simply, other physically different bodies, would their gender identity also swap? If so, why? Are they actually more lost in their gender identity than I am and they need to hone in on the physical in order to anchor themselves?
Why do people feel like they are the gender that they are?
In awe of the fur and markings rarrr!!!
Turtle Tail design was inspired by caracals!! Love both of them, they were so cute :c
made in honor of the now-extinct population of Falasteen crocodiles, the sunbirds that almost lost their names, and everyone else surviving the attempted erasure.
posted the other week as part of an ongoing fundraiser offering free prints and paid, with 100% of proceeds going to Care for Gaza. it has since been translated, wheatpasted, and flown on kites all over the world from Saigon to Scotland...!!!
monetary donations are never a substitute for holistic political action, and a push for a different world... but the shows of solidarity and support have lifted my spirits so much.
this is now available on a t-shirt too, screenprinted by hand in Texas!same deal: all profits go to food, medicine, and other critical supplies via Care for Gaza (& the PCRF). thank you for sharing.

Red SeaWings are also plausible, mostly in deep sea areas!! Red is one of the darkest wavelengths, so to speak (it's not literally darker, just technically. colour theory stuff blah blah blah), so it blends in better than any other colour! Even blue! Many deep sea creatures are red because of this -- giant/colossal squids and scaly-foot gastropods, for example. They're both dark red.
And also, in super deep areas, if there are any SeaWings down there, they'd probably be white or very pale, because they don't need pigmentation to protect themselves from sunlight or to blend in.
I personally think leafwings and seawings should be allowed to be more colourful then they cannonically are because plants and underwater animals are very colourful 👍👍👍
I am a beleiver in Red LeafWings, whether that be their natural color or from changing seasons.
Been seeing some reviews calling new WoF guidebook disappointing, but I thought it was really cute. I enjoyed it!! I get that people hoped it would reveal more of the culture/lore of the tribes (I too am starving for MudWing content), but I think it's about time people realize Tui doesn't really seem interested in that... I think she prefers to focus on characters and stories. And that's fine, honestly. People should stop pressuring Tui to take her series in a direction she may not want to take.

This is why I find it funny when people say they're similar. The similarities don't go much deeper than the general sound of their music, and even in that regard, they're still quite different. I believe WW and LD fans overlap because the two artists both make "weird music"; songs about unusual topics. Like sentient arcade machines, or... whatever Will's music is about.
It's funny how Lemon Demon and Will Wood fans seem to intersect, because the way I see it, they're artists with completely opposite sensibilities.
Will Wood sings about serious topics in an irreverent way, whereas Lemon Demon sings about silly topics in a sincere way.
Will Wood's themes are often intellectual and deep, whereas Lemon Demon's are often nerdy and frivolous.
Will Wood often borrows words and images from mental health terminology to spirituality, less to provide a specific meaning, but to create a general vibe.
Lemon Demon on the other hand will often focus on a specific topic and thoroughly explore it. Exhaust the kind of things that could be said about it.
They both make bangers though.
guess i like my eggs holy and pure then.
eggs are most delicious when least touched by fire (so poached, sunny side up, etc declining in quality to over easy, hard boiled). this is because fire cleanses the egg of sin (primary source of flavor). this is also why the objectively most delicious egg is soft boiled (hardened purified exterior traps the delicious sin inside the soft gooey interior), and why scrambled eggs are morally ambiguous
Horizonshine lives to run.
Working as a Brookclan courier, Horizonshine finds their purpose in racing across the mountains and joining the distant cats of the bay clans together. In the constantly changing landscape of the Alaskan wilderness, their job represents stability, knowing there will always be another package to carry, another report to send, another task to run to. With every new day, the young cat charges forward, eager to forge connections in her community.
But old connections are racing up to meet her, and when cosmic forces set paw in the mortal realm, the troubled courier suddenly finds herself with a message she can’t seem to deliver, and a past she can no longer run from.
Releasing February 2nd, 2024 on Tumblr and Comicfury
I rarely have a visceral reaction to a TikTok but this one... this one got me
As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.
It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.
Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

Hi mutuals
cool mutual that i'm scared to death that i'll annoy (literally all my mutuals)
For some reason, I'm impressed to see how widely the ages of Tumblr users vary, but it's awesome! And this advice is probably all excellent (I can't really say anything because I haven't even graduated school yet) so yeah
I turn 30 next month so here’s what I learned in my 20s:
—don’t work for startups, they’re always one ‘innovative idea’ away adding ‘sell your kidneys on the black market’ to your job description.
—keeping a collection of basic OTC medicine on you will save your life one day. I recommend Advil, Imodium, and TUMS.
—those little single-use glasses cleaning wipes are 1000% worth the money
—overly self-depreciating jokes just make people uncomfortable, wean yourself off of them
—you can buy dehydrated mini marshmallows in bulk online and they’re a godsend for hot cocoa
—people don’t care if you have fidget toys on your desk they just want to play with them
—try to go to bed BEFORE the existential ennui kicks in

i have a bad sense of humour
When I was a young boy, I was walking down a gravel road with my grandpa. I accidentally took a misstep and fell to the ground, cutting my knees. Grandpa gently bent down and began to clean the wound, removing the little pebbles now embedded in my skin as I cried.I’d always heard adults talk about it, but I finally knew what they were talking about.I’ll never forget the pain of my first kid knee stones.

sob thank you @smewduck
I don't get compliments/feedback as unhinged as this very much lmao but I'm very happy someone noticed the animals, they're my favourite part of the ref
Woo new Cosi ref!! Finally!
You Tumblians haven't seen Cat Cosi yet, I don't think, but they were a cat for a long time, and then they changed just before I made this. But I didn't have a ref yet, so I made this. And I like it a lot. The fullbody looks good, and I'm proud of the background. I didn't want to highlight the notes with regular squares, because that's boring, so I added some little flourishes to all of them. It helps with the vibes. I wanted it to have the same feeling as a pine forest? Or at least, the taiga in Minecraft. And the swatches are alive!! They're a blue-tongued lizard, Cape Barren goose, kangaroo, koala, and quoll. And a leaf.
I've been working on this on and off for the last four days, so a lot of the original thoughts I had have died by now. I wanted to change the markings and colours more, but everything I tried looked bad, and I didn't really have any problems with the original anyway, so I just kept it.
Reblogs appreciated :D I worked really hard on this lol
