if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

This post is the distilled essence of everything I believe in.

Also, gatekeeping basic rights so that even the “good” ones suffer because “just in case” is fuckin…..sociopathic.

I’ve seen posts about digital artists problems, and traditional artists problems, but I’d like to make a post about some of the frustrations that arise when your both.

  • I’m either good at drawing in my sketchbook or I’m good at drawing on my intuos, I just can’t be both.
  • I have to pick the canvas size???
  • Going to lineart something digitally that you sketched on paper but by the time you’re about done it looks like trash.
  • “AGH WRONG LAYER”
  • “hhnnnNNNNGGGG THIS DOESN’T HAVE” LAYERS”
  • “I’VE BEEN COLORING FOR SO LONG I FORGOT HOW TO SKETCH”
  • I wanna draw on the computer but I’m scrolling on tumblr instead
  • I wanna draw in my book but it’s on the other side of the room and I’m too lazy to go get it
  • “Where’s my wacom pen??” meets “where’s a fricking eraser????”
  • I tried zooming in on my sketchbook one time
