Cross posting this to whichever socials I have an active posting on and just have that feeling of someone being concerned about my lack of uploads...
Long story made short: us elections happened and I'm trying to go full silent aside from funny memes and positive posts on places like FB, sometimes Tumblr despite hating it still, and to a certain extent Pillowfort. Which means art socials aren't getting much love (I'm so sorry...) and thus, that's the reason for this post.
My main concern is that it seems like we don't have as much privacy now regardless of it still not the start of the new term for the fella that needs no name drops. It was rough before now, but I don't trust that to continue and it'll get worse before getting better. I do miss posting art when I can but I also am taking this time to just self care for myself and enjoy a bit of life before it happens to take a u-turn.
Much like everyone else, I feel very scared and absolutely mortified of what's to come but I don't think playing defeatist is going to help either. It's going to be a rough ride through now to whenever but I encourage you to help your fellow neighbors that might be scared - the ones that might be vulnerable most of all - and keep them lifted up.
I know not a lot of folks think the same way I do but all I can say is trust that maybe the Lord above knows how this ends and just leave it up to him on what I can do from here on out.
I do intend to draw a bit offline, but my child half wants to play her Switch or her glamorous New 2DS XL - and that's not a bad idea either. Journaling is on the list as well considering that when I first found out the results, I was extremely angry and hurt - but nonetheless, unsurprised at the outcome. I can say about what went wrong/possible issues, but that's not what I'm posting about...
Stay safe out there kids and I hope to resume posting eventually.
While a huge copy and paste from my Weasyl post in conjunction with the now recent piece, I didn't feel like it was right to push this there in the case of needing to add the sensitive topic tag on top of it... As mentioned, I did feel tired and defeated at first but just being reminded that there's a lot of other folks out there that felt the same and to not let despair take over.
Needless to say, I'm not surprised but I'm very angry with what the results came from this. As a queer person themselves, I don't feel at all safe after this. I never liked the "man" we're stuck with but I refuse to keep myself silent. Anyone taking this as a victory doesn't need me to explain why I don't consider this so.
For those that are like me and not exactly feeling secure knowing what the future might be like, I'm sorry and as a rare blue associated political person that tends to avoid it living in a redder than a radish in summer state - I hope that I can at least offer some hope in these trying times.
To say that I am tired is indeed true, but again - I have not yet begun to fight for the rights of others. Even if it's through my art and that alone, I still want to actively get myself out there and proudly say I condone the actions this current pres has taken and had taken in the past. I refuse to back off in the fact that I don't believe it's my right to say what one can and cannot do in regards to their health.
I'm not a rich person nor male (nor cis by any means), but the fact that these people think they can control women rights is enough to consider fighting for.
Do not let those voices that celebrate the results lead you astray from the fact that voting isn't the only way to voice a difference in the States.
At this point, I'm just taking a lovely break from most art socials because I want to focus on just drawing to keep myself from getting too heated. Also worth trying to start journaling again for my sake.
I'm not really good with uplifting speeches but I like everyone else feels really unnerved by the end results, but far from ready to call it quits. Hope will conquer over despair and fear.
