I Gotta Make A New Sona For The Yearrrrr

The fact that I got a tumblr notification with beginner artist and debate in the same sentence

Shaking tumblr, no Tumblr bad stop saying things like this Tumblr we are not debating beginner arts on the share your art we wanna see it website or any website stooooop

I’m on bluesky now but like

It’s so intimidating, I have no clue what I’m doing over there. It’s like diving into the deep end without floaties for the first time after having your only experience with a pool being an inflatable one for small dogs. I can safely yell into the void here.

But I’m gonna try to stick with it. I wanna be a semi-professional artist at some point. I need to branch out if I wanna be seen.

Just wish there was a guide book written for me that spelled out in no uncertain terms how to make friends as someone who is both autistic and an artist. How do y’all do it? Why does it seem so easy for everyone but me?

All those questions and more after the break 🎶

raaaahhhhhhhh

I need to be alive on here but no ideas is stopping me

I feel like a crow in a windex commercial, limited by circumstances beyond my control

additional info:

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria

many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!

please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month

The house may be burning

There is no but coming. The house is burning and I’m excited for black history month. I’m excited to hear about other different black creatives and their work everywhere and I’m excited to hold my own as the house burns. I’m excited to see other black creators celebrate themselves and our community in spite of everything. I’m excited to learn and hear more than what I’ve gotten to before. I’m excited to see my community thrive for even just a moment. And I’m excited to see the house burn.

Celebrate blackness every day. And in spite of a regime that wants to destroy you, celebrate blackness even more starting the rest of this week and even more over the next month.
