just a baby
hung out with my young cousin today and she showed me "soul bug school" which is the gap between her toy chest and the wall where she secretly puts every dead bug she finds in the house
Squidward is an aristocratic gay black man who vogues old way because he’s cultured, Spongebob is a twink from the Dominican Republic, Patrick is an anglo saxon bear who doesn’t wash after the gym
just made the most beautiful thing i've ever seen
You see, Perry the Platypus, when Vanessa was a little girl, she wanted to take estrogen. Of course, I said yes. And since then she’s always been my little girl. Well recently, Vanessa’s school deadnamed her on her reports! Can you believe that!? I mean we live in a fairly progressive area and—hey, isn’t that not allowed in public schools??
Anyway, that’s when I got the idea for THIS! The deadname-eraser-inator! That way, not only will Vanessa no longer be deadnamed, but EVERY OTHER TRANS PERSON IN THE TRI! STATE! AREA!
I've been planning to make this comic for so long now, but a strange feeling of shame has stopped me, year after year.
Today is IDAHOBIT, the international day against LGBTQ+ discrimination. I feel like now is a good time to share it.
It's easy to slip into shameful silence because of survivors guilt, because "it wasn't that bad". But it was bad. Homo- and transphobic violence is bad and needs to be talked about, especially in a time where homo- and transphobic rhetoric is rampant and normalizes seeing us as lesser humans, normalizes hurting us, verbally, legally, physically.
is this something. is it anything at this point
