A drawing of my wheelchair for disability pride month!
(ID: on a medium grey background is a line art drawing of an ultra-lightweight wheelchair, specifically a Tilite Aero Z chair. The line art is colored in a gradient in stripes to mimic the disability pride flag. The colors from the lower left to the upper right are: a muted red, yellow, white, sky blue and a hunter green. End ID)
The Taxidermist. A patchwork creature that uses it’s golden sheers to snip the person away and leave only a verminous beast, in the hopes of finding new and interesting body parts to replace it’s old decaying form. The useless animals are doomed line it’s quilted burrows as handmade furniture and the ever-present smell of mouse soup.
When I drew this comic I wasn’t really happy with it but the lovely responses I’d gotten from transfems on this website made it all the worthwhile. Now I’m checking the notes on this post and I can’t find any of those responses because I assume the blogs of those comments have being DELETED. WHAT THE FUCK TUMBLR
Actually your society is the freaks for shooting everything that moves and burning half your “nature reserves” every year so that upperclass dandies can eat leaded pheasant. North Americans are the well adjusted ones here, your country has become a desolate suburban lawn in island form
my opinion as an american is that we spend way too much time trying to save african megafauna and nowhere near enough time making fun of the english for turning an entire island–which was once a hazelnut food forest–into a goddamn lawn.
bill bryson once actually wrote down in a whole book and got published that the english were superb gardeners and i about threw the book out the window i was that outraged. the english!!! the fucking ENGLISH. them? that’s who you want to laud? the english

THERE ARE A GRAND FUCKING TOTAL OF ZERO STAPLE CROPS ORIGINALLY OR EVEN PRIMARILY CULTIVATED BY THE ENGLISH. NONE OF THEM. NOT POTATOES NOT WHEAT NOT TURNIPS NOT RYE. THEY GNAWED THEIR ISLAND DOWN TO A NUB FOR NOTHING. THE WOLVES AND BEARS ALL GONE FOR NOTHING. THE WILDCATS AND BIRDS AND MUSTELIDS AND INSECTS, GONE IN THEIR THOUSANDS, FOR NOTHING. FOR SOME SHEEP. FOR
THEIR MAIN AGRICULTURAL EXPORT IS FAMINE
anyway the english approach to agriculture, biodiversity, and environmentalism is roughly on par with a dog’s approach to someone else’s homework and everywhere in the world that has inherited their cack-fisted disdain for nature has suffered immensely. i can’t overstate enough how bad things have been and still are.
please make fun of them. it’s the least they fucking deserve.
Vaguely reminds me of how much Australia gets flack for its “cracked up”/dangerous wildlife. Or the emu war. Like at least they have biodiversity. People act like the world is solely OUR playground and the animals are an obstacle which couldn’t be further from the truth.
“Their main agricultural export is famine” is easily the best sentence I’ve read in my entire god damn life.
i urge everyone who sees this to share, at the very least, if you cannot donate. please, please, please do not scroll past without reblogging. this post will be updated as/if anyone else reaches out!
