Trans Couchsurfing Network →
transcouchnetwork:
Hi! I just started a tumblr, the Transgender Couchsurfing Network. After seeing dozens of posts come across my dash about displaced or homeless trans people needing places to crash, I decided that there had to be a way to organize these posts somehow, and to put those in need in contact with those willing to lend a hand. If you’re trans and need a place to stay, or if you...

Seriously, CNN?
For the past 20 minutes they’ve been covering nothing except the space shuttle being transported to NYC. Yeah, it’s cool, it’s on the back of an airplane, but 20 minutes? HAPPENING NOW? Under the headline “Enterprise boldly goes to NYC?” You can do better.
One of the anchors also asked if it was going to fall off. And they discussed it. And now they’re whining...

BARBIE 2012 →
feminishblog:
I don’t think Mattel realizes the good influence they could be having over the young girls and boys who play with them… Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself when I go to sleep at night. Otherwise, how else do you justify seeing yet another Barbie being manufactured that has so much promise to promote strong, empowered, healthy, young girls and boys that are happy in their...

Do you remember when we met in Gomorrah? When you were still beardless, and I would oil my hair in the lamp light before seeing you, when we were young, and blushed with youth like bruised fruit. Did we care then what our neighbors did in the dark? When our first daughter was born on the River Jordan, when our second cracked her pink head from my body ...

While discussing how to fit an entire production team in an 8.5”x11” photo.
Client: Can’t everyone stand in the front for a while?
Me: Excuse me?
Client: Yeah, I saw that photo effect in a Harry Potter movie once. Isn’t that photoshop?
Me: No. That’s magic.

I feel really dumb sometimes making fancy prints of my silly fanart.
Especially when I have to tell the filenames to the people working the printers:
“Yes, it’s the one called ‘Hulkbutts.pdf.’”
