I have very analytical approach to drawing and this is what helps me with drawing head correctly. There are so many things to think about when it comes to head. This approach really helps me to focus on my mistakes and fix them.
at work i went to the customer restroom bc i had to clean junk and this older lady looked at me super surprised/worried and just said “this…is the Women’s Room” and it took me a minute to realize that she thought that i was a cis guy and also a bathroom creeper but like. unknowingly she validated the shit out of me so thanks old lady lmfao
I had the opposite happen to me! i was in a dress but too nervous to go to the womens’. A guy came in, looked at me, MADE SURE HE WAS IN THE RIGHT BATHROOM, and then looked at me a second time, saw i hadnt shaved in four days, and carried on. It was great.
!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
most awkward validation ive had was when over hte phone, this person called me ma'am while yelling at me because we didnt have a coupon anymore
my professor spent our entire seminar whining about how there’s too many girls in our group and not enough boys. he was like “i’m not saying women can’t be good surgeons but we need more men” no, we don’t. men suck. deal with it.
CRY ALL YOU FUCKING WANT YOUR TEARS DON’T MEAN SHIT TO ME. YOUR TEARS MEAN DICK TO ME JUST SO YOU KNOW
Okay so not to be that person who adds on to a post with their own story but my mom is a doctor and when I was eleven she took me to these all-female seminar led by a woman who was the head of a hospital because my mom is an empowered and independent woman who wanted her daughter to be the same way and so there’s like thirty females surgeons in the room, all sitting around his huge circlular confrenece table and talking about their experiences in becoming surgeons
most of them were like “everyone told me I should become a nurse or a pediatrician” and “people assume that I don’t know what I’m doing” you know, your average sexist bs
one of the women’s last name was starboard (yeah I know great name) and she was talking about how even though now she was one of the most accomplished surgeons at the hospital, the male scrub techs (read: guys who didn’t go to fucking medical school) and some of the male doctors call her starbitch in the OR because they (scrub techs mostly, strangely enough) try to suggest different ways to care for the patient and she always tells them no you didn’t go to med school and I did and so they would go out of their way to get the male doctors to treat the patient differently and then she would have to argue with him to prove what she was doing es right but sometimes the male doctor would come and take over the case anyway and this went on for a while
but then the hospital statistics changed bc this woman was literally being prevented from treating her patients bc the men were interfering and so the administrative head heard about this (she was female) and she was like y’all better stop or y’all better start looking for new jobs and then starboard was allowed to work on her patients and got the scrub techs replaced and all of the sudden, the patients were suddenly doing much better during and after surgery.
when she told this story she was like “people still call me a bitch, and maybe I am because I won’t let them walk all over me, but when you’ve got something to do, when you’ve got a life to save, you have to ignore their bullshit so that you can save someone’s fuckin life. Sexism should never stop you from accomplishing that”
and little eleven-year-old me still remembers that bc I was insecure and awkward and here was this woman who just did what she had to do and ignored all the people trying to stop here and she really was better than all the male doctors (like her patient stats were better) and I thought I should share with you this inspiring woman with the cool last name
This is something I’ve actually thought a lot about. I see so many posts and people mentioning how difficult it is to get through the day as a genderfluid person, when your gender identity shifts during activity or specific situations.
I’ve seen some people come up with cute solutions to this, such as a bracelet that has pink on one side, blue on the other, and people can flip it, or even certain codes or gestures. That’s when I started to think about this pin.
Then I thought of another one.
I got so excited about the idea of pins I thought about also making little pins of maybe food with flags on them.
However, I ran into a slight problem….
I have no idea how to make them.
and I currently don’t have money to spend learning how to make them, or to get the tools required to. But I do really like these ideas, and wanted to see if anyone else liked them too.
