I just realized that early Gen Z/late millennials were taught to interact with the internet like travelers to the Fey Realm. Never use your real name, avoid being tricked into contracts, and be skeptical of appearances. So yeah, the internet is the Fey Realm.

A figurine of a fish-tailed horse carved from antler.

A figurine of a species-ambiguous creature carved from antler. Creature is seated on haunches with a front paw raised in greeting.

A figurine of an owl-like creature carved from antler.

Letter opener carved from antler to resemble a fox-like figure with extra flourishes in the form of petal like protrusions, holes, and carved out geometric patterns.

A person interviewed me about my experience with actual play podcasts for a paper in their writing class, and this forced me to actually go through my feed and list them all. It came out to 90+, and I still need to keep adding more every time I blow through hundreds of hours of backlog in a single weekend. This is what happens when you have adhd and need your hands and eyes free to carve antlers.

Planned Parenthood got LOUDR 🔊 @ Tumblr

WHO THEY ARE:

Planned Parenthood’s mission is to ensure all people have access to the care and resources they need to make informed decisions about their bodies, their lives, and their futures. Founded in 1916, Planned Parenthood is a trusted health care provider, educator, and passionate advocate in the U.S. as well as a strong partner to health and rights organizations around the world. Each year, Planned Parenthood delivers vital sexual and reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of people.

WHAT THEY DID:

🩺 On October 1, 2021, Planned Parenthood partnered with Tumblr to rally supporters for abortion justice and defend access to abortions at 539 rallies in every state.

🩺 On September 3, 2021, Tumblr and Planned Parenthood partnered up in response to a Texas law that came into effect September 1, S.B. 8., effectively banning abortion in the state and asking private citizens to act as bounty hunters who “enforce” the law.

We made the following calls to action along with the graphic below:

I call them Sygi. Not sure where the name came from, just popped to mind. I carved them from dropped moose antler. The bead is a moonstone and the eyes are some type of red gem i pried from a broken ring. They look mostly cervine, but the head and tail came out more canine.

This one was a white tailed deer antler according to PetSmart. It was a puppy chew, so it was already split and slender, so less room to work. Working in the patterns was relaxing. Makes a decent letter opener.

Months working in the bone of dropped moose antlers. Surprisingly easy to find in the pet supply section. Works as a finger cap if you want to pretend you have a long scary talon. It’s a soothing project.

ok very funny guys. you got me. now seriously who left all these neurotypicals in charge of the mental health field

The Drowned and The Path of Stars.

Both somewhat inspired by the Netflix series, Hilda. The Draugen captain was so cool looking, and the deer fox home was so beautiful.

Home, Bloom and Decay, and The Phoenix

The Stranger, The Corridors, and The Eye.

Inspired by The Magnus Archives. The Corridors being Michael and Helen’s hallways.

The Wanderer, The Thief, and Metamorphosis.

Wandering albatross.

Roots and Branches, The Maiden, The Grimm.

Roots and Branches is fairly situational.

The Maiden is new experiences.

The Grimm is grief and comfort because I love the folk lore surrounding the Church Grimm. Such a good doggo.

The Artist, The Scholar, and The Astronomer.

The Artist is creativity and expression, The Scholar is curiosity and dedication, the Astronomer is patience and observation.

The Forest, The Mountain, and The Armor.

This is where I start making up new cards. The forest is a balance of finding wonder and losing your path. The mountain is perspective. Armor is vulnerability and guardedness.

The Fool, The Lovers, and The Universe.

The Fool is my character from the role playing game Under Hollow Hills. Skadi is the Hobbled Hound and a carnival barker.

Used Catradora as a pose reference for The Lovers because that IS love.

Additional versions of The Moon, The Magician, and Death.

The Devil, The Star, and Strength.

I’m no tarot aficionado, but I interpreted strength as solitary strength verse group strength. The Star is an owl-wolf if you can make out the eye, feathers, and talons.

The Hangedman, The Hermit,

and The Empress.

The Wheel, The Sun, and The Magician.

My Pride got me drawing lesbian lions.

Judgement, Justice, and Temperance. Because nothing says Judgement like a looming goat face in the sky, and nothing says Temperance like a nice pot of tea. And Justice is a fragile thing that needs to be defended. I had fun with the color schemes on Justice and Temperance. Judgement was an early one where I was still being restrained with my use of color.

Quarantine Tarot Cards. Most don’t actually follow the deck, because I did this for fun not for professional accuracy.

The Tower, The Moon, The Hierophant.

You’re in a Zoom meeting, Harry

ok kids repeat after me

vinegar and bleach makes chlorine gas, which is highly toxic

ammonia and bleach makes chloramine, which is highly toxic

rubbing alcohol and bleach makes chloroform, which is highly toxic

hydrogen peroxide and vinegar makes peracetic/peroxyacetic acid, which can be highly corrosive

be careful about your cleaning products and dont get yourself injured or potentially killed ok

the annoying thing about adhd is that like, most of the symptoms you can’t even argue are “evolutionary flaws” or “chemical imbalances.” literally it’s just that it’s not good for lining somebody else’s pockets. being “distractible” helps people notice predators or juicy berries out of the corners of their eyes. hyperfocusing on a task until it’s done is literally exactly in line with what an alleged persistence predator would need to do to actually follow through on hunting other animals. there’s so many little things that are obviously beneficial to have outside of a fucking factory assembly line
