MORE PROGRESS on the Ratty Pocket model!! Integrated it in godot, made a bunch of custom shaders for it. I still have many things to do: a proper background, details on the inside of the top shell (like a sticker backing), interactions with the props and a R A T!!

Happy pride month! I made a zine about being agender, something not many people understand. It took me a long time to find a comfortable term to describe how I felt. (I swapped the last 2 panels in the zine but forgot here)

A-Ok What is agender?
I’m not sure when I first started questioning things. As a teenager maybe. I wasn’t exactly UNHAPPY being female but it didn’t feel right. The thing is it didn’t feel wrong either. I was just ME! I wasn’t really a girly girl. My friends loved giving me ’makeovers’. I liked drawing, books, and animals. (I still do)
When I realised I was bi things got more complicated. 
Do I have a crush on them or do I want to be them? 
Am I making this whole thing up?
Most people don’t need to think about this stuff, right?Fem? Masc? Do I even know who I want to be? All I know is I don’t really like being called Miss, Mrs, woman, girl (do not refer to me meme)
Maybe I’m just nothing. Can you be nothing? Do I have to think about it?
Agender- someone who doesn’t identify strongly with any gender.
I don’t mind any pronouns. They. She. He. (I probably prefer’they’)
I don’t think I’m cis. Or trans.
Non-binary is maybe the closest term. But it’s way easier to pretend to be cis.
Unless I feel safe. 
I use any pronouns but prefer ‘they’.

The best place to tell everyone your TADC theory is not in the middle of the movie. I had 3 different groups of people all loudly theorising behind me.

I've seen so many people (parents and not) saying they'll only let their kid watch Bluey and never Peppa Pig. And I'm here to let you know Peppa Pig doesn't squeal when she's excited and my kid now screams because of Bluey.

Confuzzled! I had a great time! Thank you to everyone that bought things from me in the den, the friends that traded with me, the people that said hi and spoke to me, everyone that came to my panel, all my pals that made me laugh so much I couldnt breathe, the fire alarm gang. I love you all ❤️

Long drive books finished- Oryx and Crake 9/10 thoughtful, genuinely disturbing, well written, a bit hand holdy at times I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream- 3/10 sexist, racist, too many birds (one)

Confuzzled is coming up and amidst the excitement of seeing my friends and making new ones I always get a bit morose thinking of the friends that have moved on from the fandom, can't afford to go, and have busy lives, and of the friends I'll never see again. I wish I got to know you better.

Just Draw Something! It's the name of my panel at Confuzzled. It's on Monday night. It's for anyone that wants to draw, whether seasoned or beginner artists. We're going to be doing a bit of philosophy, a bit of technique, and a lot of drawing so bring your drawing tools!

When was the shift to everything becoming a "pick a side" situation? Was it short form social media? Was everyone always this polarised but now the most extreme voices are prioritised?

I'm on my way to #Scotiacon! I've stopped off halfway for a couple of nights visiting family, and took the draklings out to stretch their legs. Really looking forward to meeting new people this weekend! If you're at the con, come say hi! I'll be trading all weekend at table C3 😊🐉

I've been thinking about doing a free beginner art course stream. If you're interested, when would be good for you? I can do most mornings or after 8. Probably be an hour once a week
