if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted
life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters
watching people on this post give the absolute worst advice about photos at protests is why I play avoid-the-camera so diligently and I am prepared to smash cameras at all times
part of my role is going to people and gently saying "hey please stop taking photos of people without their consent. that can be dangerous for the people in the photos and you were asked not to at the start of the rally/march" and I have had people threaten to punch me over it so........
just stop taking photos. I don't care if they're "just for you" or if you "plan to redact them" you have no idea what situation someone is in and your photos will never be secure. if you want to take a photo just ask people in it first.
and of course they're always like "well what about those people taking photos" and I explain that "those people are known to our community and know who does and doesn't want a photo. people have already consented or not consented at past events to that person's photos and they know this" or "thanks for pointing that out I will talk to them too because they also should not be taking photos." this also, of course, does not solve the conflict and they continue taking photos anyways.
I have my own tactics for stopping photos when someone refuses that don't involve smashing cameras but they tend to escalate things anyways.
just stop. I'm so tired. just stop.
ALSO, JUST FOR THE RECORD!!!! If you are refusing to stop taking photos of people you look like a cop.
"I'm so sorry, and I love you. Stay with me."

Mmmm this series is so scary good. The horrors of dealing with grief and love at the same time. Here I depicted Denial: Yoshiki remembering the Hikaru he loves and projecting that to the Hikaru that is with him now.
Finally finished this piece
Still thinking about the deleted camo kiss scene and how they most likely deleted it because it directly contradicted the dumbed down, slapstick style Mickey they tried to present instead of the emotionally intelligent person he actually is who knows how to read his husband and, contrary to Shameless writer’s beliefs, KNOWS how to respond levelheadedly to situations and doesn’t in fact fly into a rage every time he’s in a conflict
