The Warmth Between Bugs In The Machine

I have a serious problem!!!! I have never had so much free time before now ... I do my best to distract myself but ... I'm horny and thristy AF! 😂😳

This comic about spot loving Data so much and Realising Lore is not her person because Data is soft/loving and wouldn’t be mean to spot or try to kill his crew has me in actual tears

Love you and llap

i’ve been working out some thoughts on how femininity allows women’s bodies into to be drawn as aestheticized objects to be consumed — and illustration so often focuses on commercial art, thus leaving gnc women out of its scope entirely. i’m entirely sick of seeing women’s bodies used as a product to be sold rather than a portrayal of our complex humanity. 

alternatively, this piece is titled “i paid thousands of dollars to get disrespected and misgendered every single day at art school”

I like big boys,

itty bitty boys

Mississippi Georgia boys,

inner city boys

I like the pretty boys with the bow tie

Get your nails did, let it blow dry

I like a big beard,

I like a clean face

I don't discriminate, come and get a taste

From the playboys to the gay boys

Go and slay, boys, you my fave boys

Happy 35th birthday to The One With the Whales, the most important film of all time
