Scarfs for Autism

Leo Chao, a student at Emily Carr University, designed the Beagle, a scarf that people can wrap around them. Texture, sounds, and even smells create a calming cocoon that will distract and soothe an autistic person when they’re feeling over stimulated. It’s the electronic version of a blankie that has actual health benefits.

“If butch daddies want to crochet, if twinkly ladyboys are sometimes tops in bed, if burly bears can do BDSM play as little girls, if femme fatales build bookcases in their spare time, these things, too, are not just good but great. They bring us, I believe, wonderful news: news that gendered options can continue to explode, that the chefs in the kitchen of gender are creating new and imaginative specials every day. That we, all of us, are the chefs. Hi. I have a whisk.”

- S. Bear Bergman, “The Field Guide to Transmasculine Creatures”

(drawn with Painter XII)

a submission for the fantastic tumblr http://thiscouldhavebeenfrozen.tumblr.com/ , which is a collection of ‘concept art’ exploring what the upcoming Disney film “Frozen”, based off of the fable “The Snow Queen”, could have looked like had it been set in a PoC culture and starred PoC characters, instead of being set in some weird fantasy Scandinavialand and starring white people. Seriously, I’m super unimpressed by the official concept art so far; it looks like Rapunzel on Ice.

I originally wanted to draw my protagonist as a Saami girl, since part of the original fable is set in Saamiland (or Lappland), but part of me wanted to go for a snowy culture that hadn’t been represented on the tumblr yet, so she’s Ainu (aboriginal people of Hokkaido and Sakhalin)! I didn’t have an exact time period in mind, but 1700’s-ish or before would probs be appropriate for how she’s dressed. She’s carrying a small sheathed knife in her left hand, and while the tattoos on her arms are extensive due to her high social status, the tattoo on her upper lip is subtle because she’s still a young girl.

The Animal Companion in both the fable and the film is a reindeer, but I’ve replaced it with a black bear both for cultural significance and because, if you want an Animal Companion for your protagonist, you can’t get more fucking hardcore than a bear.

THE FORGOTTEN - Example Of An African Middle-Class

Images from Africa in the Western media show mostly terrible misery, war, hunger and poverty. According to UN figures more than ninety percent of all Africans live neither in war nor crisis-areas and the economic growth of some African countries is among the largest in the world.

Kenya‘s economic growth is annually between five and six percent which is three times higher than the growth in Germany. This is above all to the credit of the middle class, which is probably the most crucial potential for the development of the country. Nevertheless you hardly notice anything about the lives of African middle class people. Hahn + Hartung traveled to the capital city of Kenya, Nairobi to meet and create a portray of people belonging to the middle class.

Oh.

Yeah, I beta’d that shit, and it wasn’t that great actually, so I quit.

its a myth.

Yeah, it’s kinda boring actually. And the learning curve is immense.

too expensive

takes way too long to level up imo

I couldn’t get it to work for me. Idk I might have the wrong operating system.

I’ve found that leveling is WAY easier once you install the “Sociopath” plugin.

I expect it to be nerfed in the next patch, though.

No monthly fee my ass! Sure, it’s free to install and the resolution’s pretty stellar, but if you want to do anything but sit on the sidewalk and be hungry I sure hope you enjoy the slow, soul-crushing grind of pointless makework challenges like ‘mop the floor’ and ‘fold the clothes’ and ‘pour the coffee’.

Don’t even think about stealing in this game, either, the prison level totally sucks and is really hard to clear.

then a burst of adrenaline,
unfolding like a bloom in a time-lapse photograph.

once, I thought a cat was a plastic bag
or did I think a plastic bag was a cat?
once, I thought a bag was a plastic cat
a bending of the light

once, I thought a half-formed dream was a life
or did I think a half-formed life was a dream?
now, I have a half-life formed by a dream
a bending of the mind
