lost post on racism; repost
let's talk about racism and how it shows up in everyday instances ...
when i first got to the states as a resident back in 2008, the then-fiancee (now husband) asked me to drive his car into the dealership for an appointment he made to get the brakes worked on.
when i got there, they told me they had no record of a service call for me or the car and that they were not going to work on it that day...
hubster calls "do you have an appointment on the books for me?"
them: "oh yes - we're ready and waiting for you when you show up"
him: "er ... my wife is there and she says you turned her away"
them: "oh .. heh .. didn't realise that was your wife. ok - but it might take a while to get you done"
no slurs, no outright "we don't want black people here", just this toxic undercurrent of "you are not welcome" here.
this is what racism looks like today. it's not obvious, it's not something you can even call out because the way they do it is to give them maximum deniability "no that's not what we SAID" ... "oh no that's not what we meant" ... and when asked to explain, the goal posts move ...
in this instance, it wasn't that they couldn't or wouldn't work on his car, even after telling him they were waiting on him to start work, now it was that they're suddenly too busy to do what they were contracted (via appointment) to do.
when you want to know what racism looks like, ask the victim what their experience is ... don't, for the love of all that is good in this world, depend on what your reading of a situation is because your (white) experience is ALWAYS tempered for deniability.

bottom surgery fund 
If anyone wants to chip in in my bottom surgery fund, you can do so via ko-fi or GFM

I try to keep the amount updated on both to better reflect everything
sure, you could get out of bed, but consider the following alternative:
The first fairy looked at the baby princess. "I give the gift of beauty."
The second fairy rolled their eyes. "This is my gift: you will always have the power you need."
"Damnit," the third fairy said. "I was going to give her a good voice, but now I must give her compassion."

This one isn't for me. Carol has been a friend of mine for nearly 15 years.
If you can help, I would appreciate it. If not, I understand.

(yes i did this gag on twitter a few years back but it feels like time to revive it, with an illustration this time!)
I really oughtta get back into the swing of drawing and pixel art, but even after the events that led to my dry spell have started passing, my chronic pain's made it hard to concentrate D:
re: Null Driver sidestory brainrot, Axiom Verge spoilers
What if this Asriel, infused with the nanogates of a rusalka, became a capricorn-like counterpart to the nanofield-powered plant Asriel from the Anomaly world? Hmmm
Null Driver sidestory brainrot
So what if I did take Zennistrad's already incredibly unlikely but compatible Iji/Undertale/Deltarune crossover and tossed a part of it headlong into Axiom Verge too?
What if a college-age Asriel had Trace Eschenbrenner as a physics professor, and when the world ended prematurely, he was taken along to the doctor's secret project together with Trace's assistant Hammond to escape this "breach"?
What if this Asriel woke up in an alien landscape to the guidance of Elsenova, and found a nanogun he was able to operate despite not knowing what it is or how?

// (except we draw off the bitmap anyway. so uh. this may actually be a bad idea?)
// what
// oh boy
// oh dear god why did i do this
// hate this a lot
// hate this a lot

// hey what was it I said the last 3 times?
// pain
// ...and probably more. definitely more
// why did I think this was a good idea.
// i give up

Please favor and boost. Let’s show that love can overcome hate and ignorance.

re: Null Driver
Honestly now contemplating an even cracker fanfanfic involving dropping a fuzzy boy in Sudra. What happens when we make an alternate universe of an alternate universe of an alternate universe? Oh, my head is spinning...
