Whilst my pain is elevated again (I reckon the rain/humidity and hayfever), I think my fatigue and malaise are more at their baseline so I can finally fix up the piece to post today. Keep an eye out. πŸ‘€ I also haven't been able to respond to shares I'm tagged in but should be able to this weekend!

least, I do often crave having a partner but a lot of my enjoyment has always been fictional. I don't particularly like the thought of penetrative sex irl either, mainly kink. So much so in fact that though I'm gay, I would likely engage with kink with women without a romantic or sexual attachment!

I've honestly heard this a lot about people on the ace spectrum--enjoying fictional erotica and kink but not as much with another person irl. I think that the fictional aspect allows them to explore kinks they like without the need to be attracted to a person. I for instance think I'm grey ace at-

This is why ableists make me laugh when they think it must be nice to need to rest so much. I assure you the rest is not fun at all when you mainly have to stare at a wall and can't do anything a lot of the time. πŸ˜‚ Good news with election at least. Tory Wales wipeout means my local tory is gone!

My insomnia got impacted badly by pulsating muscles of all things and I feel so badly fatigued so looks like I'll be pushing posting new art for tomorrow or so. It's another boring flop day for me unfortunately! But it is what it is.

All forms of oppression intersect. Mask bans suppress protest, sicken and disable communities, and will most harm vulnerable groups: Black, trans, etc. Chevron ruling means more expensive healthcare. Bills and disability can unhouse you, which means jail to do slave labor. Resist. Do it in an n95.

Yes absolutely! I've been quite lucky on other sites but still felt like I had to look over my shoulder often just because of how it could be for someone. Here I don't have that worry. Only that someone might follow me not knowing what I post through starter packs, but that's the risk they take πŸ˜‚

I'm glad to hear it! I've been doing a lot of work on my CPTSD since I was diagnosed, and this has helped a lot on that journey. I think probably because it's good for my inner child to have an art space feel so genuine again. πŸ’™

Screen readers also can't read these characters properly, which feels ironic by artists who use alt text but also special characters! Not very worth it all around.

Gorgeous artwork and such an important sentiment. I don't have irl friends anymore or get out much and online folks reaching out means the world. Chronic illness gets lonely, and people recognising that means the world!

I feel like my sentiment is being misunderstood here. I've been the chronically ill person stuck at home that everyone forgets about. Having someone reach out means a lot and I want other people to know that we know you can't fix us but you don't Have to fix us, just be there.

It feels a lot more accepting too. I don't feel like I'll be judged for what I make, and being a queer, kinky and disabled artist, unlike other places I've felt like *something* will get me negative attention. So far it's been very friendly here and I'm enjoying it a lot!

It feels so good to be more excited about thinking of art ideas and for when my body allows me to do it in a long time. Part of it is my CPTSD work, but a lot is being here--having an art community that feels much like the pre algorithm days on social media really rekindles an old love for it. πŸ’™
