shout out to people who's family isnt entirely bad or entirely good, but something in between and you dont know how to feel about them. you feel angry but you also feel guilty, because you know they genuinely love and care about you, but sometimes they show it in a way you know its not okay. your feelings are valid, your anger and sadness and grief are valid, and you dont have to prove this to no one. bigger shout out to those with memory issues who know something isnt right but can't recall all of the bad events, only the feelings, which only increases the guilt.

Ten of my favorite props I painted for TMNT Mutant Mayhem.

1. Jukebox for the Bowling Alley scene

2. Bananas for their grocery run, don’t think rhsi got modeled

3. Bread for the Grocery run

4. Grocery bags and Milk

5. Bebop’s Juke Box

6. Aprils phone case and stickers.

7. Burger from the Bowling Alley

8. Jumper cables from an early version of the Chop shop fight.

9. Mondo Gecko’s Skate Board

10. Sniper Rifle which was from a longer version of the Ice cream truck Heist that got cut down for time and clarity.

Painting props is a very fun and more relaxing part of doing Visdev. We often get chives props in between doing big heavy lifting paintings for sets as a way to cool down. It’s great because props are a smaller task so you get the satisfaction for “succeeding” more quickly and often as you knock out a hand full of prop paintings. It’s more straightforward and less psychically demanding.

HELP I CAN'T WITH THIS SCREAM-😭😂

Rise movie got us all crying

In less than a 2 week period between August and September, 6 Indigenous people were killed by police in my country.

One of them was 15 year old and he called the police because he thought he was going to be attacked by some people who were following him. He called for help, and the police showed up and shot him.

Another, a man from same nation as me was killed during a wellness check. Again, he called for help and the police shot him.

And the worst part is that none of this is new. This has been happening forever, and it's not just the cops killing Indigenous people in North America.

All over there are reservations who haven't had access to clean drinking water in years, because industry is allowed to pollute their water supply. Treaties are constantly broken, land constantly encroached on and abused. Indigenous women and 2 spirit people going missing and being murdered at alarming rates with no real attempt at investigation. Indigenous people dying alone from medical neglect and being abused in hospitals.

Next week I am going to a memorial walk for a 22 year old woman who died from medical neglect. She went to the hospital with meningitis and the doctors profiled her as a drug user because she had traditional tattoos, and apparently to them that meant she didn't deserve equal care. By the mere fact that I'm mixed my skin is lighter than hers, and that means I can get good care at a hospital when she couldn't.

It hurts, and I'm scared for the people I love.

Over and over colonial governments apologize in passing and make wordy commitments to "change" which amounts to giving us a day of remembrance and basically nothing else. That day of remembrance is today and I don't feel much more than rage right now.

If you like my work, if you've appreciated my fics or been touched in any way by my writing I would really appreciate if you would sign any of these petitions. I don't care which nation you choose to support, all need help and support to recover from the years of abuse and colonialism that continues to this day.

If you are North American, find out whose ancestral territory you are living on- odds are it's unsurrendered. Take time to understand the treaty rights of Indigenous groups in your area and acknowledge when they are broken so you can hold your representatives accountable. If there are memorial walks, healing walks or protests near you, go to them. Speak up against industrial invasions on Indigenous land and remember the names of the people who are killed or who go missing.

And the next time you hear someone saying theres only two genders tell them they're being fucking racist.
