We Seriously Need To Stop Conceding To The Personhood Trap When It Comes To Abortion Rights. Is A Fetus

The cycle is inescapable

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 2.02 — Rhaenyra The Cruel 2.05 — Regent

the need to talk about the characters vs the fear that all of my analysis is just empty prose and surface level understanding

the thing is like. i get that it's scary and makes people who do desire to get pregnant uncomfortable when we talk about the brutality and violence of pregnancy and the damage that pregnancy can do to your body

but you deserve to give informed consent to that process.

the lies around pregnancy - that it's inherently safe, that it doesn't do you permanent damage, that it's only extremely rare for people to die of pregnancy complications, etc like

all of these are lies constructed so that more people will get pregnant w/o knowing all that

there needs to be more talk about the impact of miscarriages and how common they are, how different abortion processes are and how accessible they are

but also like. talking about how pregnancy fucks your body up should not be taboo

this is a process that permanently changes most people's bodies, and that's even if the pregnancy doesn't do them like. severe illness or injury

and i just think everybody should have a right to KNOW that

bc to live in a society that intentionally obscures and hides facts about a completely optional and dangerous process does so for a reason, and that reason is based in a very sinister ideology that does not value bodily autonomy or informed consent

Portrait Commission❤️🐉

Baela the Brave and Jacaerys the Just; Lord and lady of the seven kingdoms❤️ I was asked to depict Baela and Jacaerys (had he survived) post dance of the dragons and had a lot of free rein so that was fun!

Referenced my lady jane, SapphireAndSage (Etsy) and EnchantedTudorRose (Etsy).

Can't fucking believe they're doing trans panic about an Olympics with precisely zero trans women in it

I hate when an artist gets exposed for being a bad person and people start the narrative “why would you even want to listen to their shitty music” when are we going to be freed from the idea that only good people create good art and bad people create bad art. It just makes it harder for these types of people to be exposed because now you got people thinking “how is this possible, his music is so good!”

“why does this character who has done terrible things deserve a happy ending, how can you be okay with that, why do they deserve anything nice”

well see it’s because the entire concept of what people “deserve” is a messy ethical quagmire that has really troubling implications no matter how you use it

but also it’s because i like fictional miserable little assholes and i do what i want

You're serving cunt? There's a war going on and you're serving cunt?
