Alex sorry it took me so long, I haven’t had much time to draw for fun lately. also, I didn’t know what colors to use so I decided to use all of them.
Awhile ago, I told a tumblr friend I’d draw a picture of her if she did one of me. This was her half of the effort (it’s a lot cooler than the one I made…).
peanutandfriend asked: did you go to penny stamps yesterday? I thought it was one of the best ones, I usually hate them all on the principal that I could be doing something better with my time than watch the irrelevant speakers they bring. Also, your portrait is done :)
i would’ve gone if i’d remembered he was coming. used to be in art school so i remember how badly most of the speakers sucked. also saw the portrait. love it.
peanutandfriend asked: I approve of your music. It's a good pickmeup
although getting to see lemony snicket sounds like a good pickmeup, too
Breakers Variation 2. As before, original overlap of images I don’t own. Words mine.

Culturally Conditioned and Genetically Predispositioned This Way:
Why Not to Say, “ I Was Born This Way”:
1. It’s not true for everyone. Sexuality can change over time. Some people go through phases, and some people just want to experiment. That doesn’t make their experience any less authentic or worth defending.
2. It’s not true for anyone. We weren’t born “gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgender life”—those are labels. Denying cultural influence not only simplifies sexuality and gender, it also discourages the evaluation of how society affects our experience of them.
3. It’s a shitty argument. Serial killers might be born serial killers, and at best that will land them in a mental hospital instead of prison—but it doesn’t change our view that murder is wrong.
I think most people who think about sexuality have already thought about everything I’ve just said. A lot of advocates recognize that a “born this way” argument is a simplification, but they also recognize that it’s a catchy slogan.
I’m not denying that sexual orientation has a large genetic component. And in the face of, for example, the ex-gay movement, emphasizing genetics makes sense. But reducing something as complicated as human sexuality to a catchphrase is sloppy. Being “born this way” is an argument too easily dismissed by anybody who can observe the effects personal and cultural experiences have on identity.
And now I swear I’ll stop preaching and go back to making my emo comics.
I don’t usually make fan stuff, so here’s my offering.
When reversed, the “we let the weirdness in” vocals at the end Kate Bush’s “Leave It Open” sound like “and they said they were buried here” (at least in a youtube video I saw). I figured inverting the black/white on an image was the equivalent of reversed vocals.
Obviously, the original photograph and lyrics are not mine.
Kate Bush is pretty enough to necessitate posting this again without the seizure-inducing flash of a GIF.
