fairly short, and a good read. highly recommend.

"it's just 4chan"
"they're just trolling"

gee it's almost like people use the internet to freely express ideals that they know would get them in trouble or ostracized in real life because they feel safe due to a perception of anonymity!!

it's not racist to point out someone else's racism
it's not racist to say white people are being racist
it's just not

the reactions of the neighbors (probably all white, let's be real) are fucking ridiculous. not really surprising, but ridiculous. if there were 10-25 white people camping, they'd call it a good time and maybe go share a beer with them, but - oops - actually this camp banned alcohol, along with drugs and firearms. big threat there.

"i keep asking why they're here and they don't answer."
probably because they've made it perfectly fucking clear to anyone with half a brain why they're there, dude. it's a logistical camp.
"there's no pipeline here."
that's why it's a good place for a logistical camp.
"there's no protest here."
nope. it's a logistical camp.

and as for the "they were showing off their bulletproof vest!" thing... okay? do you know how many videos of white men doing the exact same thing there are online? literally thousands. also newsflash! it's not violent to wear a fucking vest. it's self-defense. it shows a fear of others being violent toward you, not a tendency toward it yourself.

just call it like it is and say you don't want those durn savage indians living next to you. "defend iowa," my ass. just another bunch of ignorant racist assholes wallowing in their own hypocrisy. nothing new there.

this comic illustrates it pretty well, and the short story within it's pretty important too.

signal boosts are appreciated! i have only one other head in queue, and this one will be started after that one is complete. sculpting foam is my favorite part of the fursuit making process, so i hope to do a lot of these!

the cowboy novels that inspired hitler
so apparently people really do not understand how much inspiration for his atrocities (and how to actually carry them out) hitler drew from the genocide of native nations here in the americas. it's not even a disputed idea; it's settled fact and well acknowledged. this information isn't anything controversial or new. by fighting this, you just look like a historically ignorant racism apologist and genocide denier. so maybe cut that shit out, eh?

listen.
it doesn't bother me when you post bullshit on my page and then block me. like... what's the goal? what were you trying to do? because if you're trying to "troll" me, that's a piss-poor attempt. and deciding that me cursing is me angry is like deciding that because lucky charms has marshmallows, it's a s'more.
it just makes you look like a fool flinging dogshit from a moving car at random passersby while thinking that makes you a political pundit because you hit "a filthy liberal" in the face with poop.
that's not how communication works, and it's not even good trolling.

fascism requires a power imbalance, with one party being societally privileged and supported by the gov't.

it's literally defined as "an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization" if you just google the definition.

a person of color punching a racist is never gonna be fascism, no matter how much you want it to be. just accept it. move on.

i feel like lots of people need to see this one.

i just wanted to share my new favorite video. that is all.

so, commission work is continuing, and i shouldn't be missing any deadlines. this is just a general psa, i suppose.
i'm not going to go into details, but i've been weathering a family emergency. i just don't want people to feel like i'm ignoring them; i just haven't had the energy to interact very much or very well, lately.
i am hopeful that this will be a turning point, though. will try to be more active soon.

i will be uploading a couple of photosets soon! one is a completed foam head base for a commissioner, and the other is a for-auction premade that i'm honestly sad to part with. keep your eyes peeled.

"...if race truly was a factor in [people of color] receiving a harsher [prison] sentence, I as a white person do not benefit from their imprisonment, because the public must pay for it."

because paying taxes for someone to be provided even the barest minimum of care to remain alive while sitting in a jail is the same as having your life ruined by being imprisoned unfairly because of the color of your skin.
why do white folks want to be oppressed so bad?

and yes. that is a direct quote. if you didn't want me posting it, you shouldn't have fucking said it.

so my phone has completely died... it won't turn back on now and i've got no clue why.
SO. i need to raise money quickly, so i'm opening up for 5 dollar waist-up sketch commissions! will also do icons or simple style cartoon drawings. if you'd like a flat color sketch, call it 8 dollars.
i have a few fursuit base commissions in queue that i'm working on (have to take pictures with my actual camera instead of the easy phone method, so that's a pain) but i can knock sketches out quickly! if interested, please drop me a note and we can discuss details! signal boosts are very much appreciated.

i have a pack of Faber-Castell grey pens and a very nice 11-piece graphite set in a tin. both unopened and unused. the tin is still in the original plastic wrapping.
if interested, please message me!

fas·cism
ˈfaSHˌizəm/
noun: fascism; noun: Fascism; plural noun: Fascisms
an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
(in general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice.

no. no it isn't. learn political theory. and stop defending actual fascists.

mao zedong stole and sold the crops produced by the proletariat of his country as millions of people starved.
this is after forcibly taking all metal implements - mostly farming and cooking tools - and melting them down to make weapons... which is why there was a lack of food in the first place; you can't grow food if the dictator steals all of your farming equipment.
he not only sold - for monetary profit and power - the food stolen from the peasantry, but he sold it to western powers and had many a trade agreement with dick nixon.

so, given all of that... does this sound like communism?
does this sound like "a political theory advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs?"
does it sound like "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need?"

or does it instead sound like a imperialist dictatorship masquerading as communism?

just because the history teacher calls it a communist dictatorship doesn't make it so. they don't understand political theory any more than the next ignorant-ass american, and most (although not all) examples of communism "killing millions" rely on citing examples like the one above. so maybe. just maybe. your views on communism and the successful execution thereof could be skewed from a misleading education.

just a thought.

if you're white, how about you don't get the following permanently inked on your body:
dreamcatchers
sugar skulls
yin yangs
mandalas
chinese, arabic, or other things you can't read from cultures you're not a member of
ganesha
shiva
buddha
other deities or culturally significant figures
headdresses and ESPECIALLY headdresses on skulls

...and so on and so forth.
just. just fucking stop.

(taken from a comment and expanded upon)

no respect for the man who encourages and incites violence against marginalized peoples; who wants to deport, ban, or imprison myself and the people i love; whose rape accusations number in the double digits and who then had the gall to call undocumented immigrants rapists; who has no qualifications for even being in the office in any way, and who should realistically be in jail. no respect for his vp, who donated money to conversion therapy. no respect for those who supported them.

no respect for racists.
no respect for homophobes.
no respect for transphobes.
no respect for misogynists.
no respect for bigots.
no respect for ableists.
no respect for fascists.

the election is over; now we resist.
but we expected that, either way. we were given no good options. this is never over, and it's never easy. but we'll survive. we'll keep going, just like we always have. just like we've always had to.
get involved. support each other. practice solidarity. protect people less privileged than you. fight. organize. start now.
because this isn't over. this is just beginning. now the work starts.

i lowered the cost of a lot of my adoptables, so if you've ever been interested in any of them, take a look! more are in the works.

and there are 2 days left to bid on the cute grumpy dog suit i have up for auction. i will be posting more pictures tomorrow, so keep an eye out for those!

^{and if anyone's interested in any skulls, hit me up; we have several species for sale!}

just trying to get some cash flow going after a bad depressive slump. signal boosts are appreciated!
