nice
Good news for you, this August 23rd.
Yeah.
Please DO NOT watch Sia’s new ableist film “Music.” The autistic character Music is shown having several meltdowns and being held in prone restraint. Prone restraint is dangerous, and has killed many autistic people. Take Eric Parsa for example. Autistic people are killed by neurotypicals who don’t know how to handle meltdowns and Sia just makes light of that. Plus, she cast a non disabled person to play Music. So again, do not watch “Music.” Here’s a thread of films with good autistic representation if you want to find something to watch.
I recently saw a post from an asexual talking about how sex obsessed our society is and I am allo myself so I obviously don't know how it is from a perspective of someone who feels no sexual attraction. I have sexual trauma however so I tend to be a bit more sensitive towards sexual adds or nudes in media.
So I saw this advertisement in my city that was displayed on electronic screens that kinda scroll through two or three different ads, which meant the ad wasn't always showing but would rather kinda pop up. And this ad was just seriously a grown man completely naked with only a surgical mask covering up his penis.
I have no clue what this advertisement tried to sell/promote but when ever I encountered it, it would give me a fucking shock to my system because I was traumatized from being flashed by men without my consent for years.
It's a mystery to me how people can be opposed to queer media that might show them interact romantically or with kissing and cry out about how this promotion of same sex attraction is damaging kids with these over sexual things like gay marriage! Behaving like our media doesn't show half naked men and women constantly in advertisement and similar things to kids amd everyone else.
Sex is a huge part of our culture but it is handled in the most confusing way I can imagine. It's being used to sell products to us, however talking about it is not okay? There is so much double standard and paradox rules that create this hostile environment against anything or anyone who doesn't exactly do what the rules tell you to (ergo shut about your own sex live but endure any and all sexual media we promote to you because we know what you like better than you)
Asexual people, queer people, traumatized people and even anyone who likes things considered not "normal" or "the norm" is harmed by this systematically!!!!!
Sex isn't something bad, not wanting sex isn't something bad either!!!!!
Let people live their lives, identities and preferences however they want!!!!
Let's work towards a society in which people aren't constantly bombarded with a specific idea of what sex and anything surrounding it has to look like but rather are presented with a variety of diverse representation that they can consume.
here is a life hack for throwing up: sniffing isopropyl alcohol (like an alcohol swab or basic bathroom alcohol) often works to prevent vomiting when you are about to barf and do not want to. anxiety nausea, need to keep pills down, motion sickness etc. i learned this in the ICU and it really works, a nurse ripped open an alcohol swab under my nose and suddenly i wasn't about to throw up anymore. it's research supported too!
This time it’s for the duck fans! Have you seen any of these floating around the place? I’ve drawn a heck of a lot of duck comics- so many that they have their own section on my (strictly non-profit) website! Here’s some samples picked from my readers’ favourites-
As you can see most of them feature this guy- Gladstone Gander- and the above panel was the from the first comic I made with the intention of getting more people to know about him. I had no idea where it would lead…
Some of them have even been translated into German! ain’t that dandy?
You can read that entirely for free on the same website as before, please check it out! Without your help I can’t keep making content like TPoH or the duck comics alongside- after all, the more funds I make from my own work, the more time I have to make it! You may have noticed I’ve not been able to post much duck comic work lately and this is very much related to the cause.
Cartoonists have to pay rent and bills, not just draw duck bills! Please signal boost with anyone who might be interested and help me get back on quack!
I thought that's how you write it?
