Hey guys!! I got hit with some more bills and really could use some money so I am opening these chibi stylizations if you all can help me out!! I would appreciate it!! A n note though is that the sketch will be much cleaner than it is in this example piece, a better example of my sketches is the last image!

The other thing about the word “queer” is that almost everyone I’ve seen opposed to it have been cis, binary gays and lesbians. Not wanting it applied to yourself is fine, but I think people underestimate the appeal of vague, inclusive terminology when they already have language to easily and non-invasively describe themselves.

Saying “I’m gay/lesbian/bi” is pretty simple. Just about everyone knows what you mean, and you quickly establish yourself as a member of a community. Saying “I’m a trans nonbinary bi woman who’s celibate due to dysphoria and possibly on the ace spectrum”… not so much. You’re lucky to find anyone who understands even half of that, and explaining it requires revealing a ton of personal information. The appeal of “queer” is being able to identify yourself without profiling yourself. It’s welcoming and functional terminology to those who do not have the luxury of simplified language and occupy complicated identities. *That’s* why people use it - there are currently not alternatives to express the same sentiment.

It’s not people “oppressing themselves” or naively and irresponsibly using a word with loaded history. It’s easy to dismiss it as bad or unnecessary if you already have the luxury of language to comfortably describe yourself.

This guy gets it. A true feminist.

Dad and I invented a new ranking system for Olympic Sports - its called the “Weekend At Bernie’s Test” and it’s used for establishing if the Winter Olympic event is a “sport” or just “gravity”. Ranking events on the Bernie scale is simple. All you have to do is ask yourself - “Would a corpse be almost as good at this activity as this Olympian who has spent their life mastering it?”

Skeleton, Luge, and Bobsledding do not rank very well on our scale. Curling does.
