Hello Everyone!
Bea&Giò is an indie #comic project.
Starring two OCs - Bea and Giò precisely - which following the example of some chars of Tezuka Sensei, reinvent themselves in each story by playing different roles, united however by the constant element of having a sentimental relationship

#eros, #romance, #lgbtqia body/sex positivity themes and a pinch of #humour
This is the recipe of the stories of Bea&Giò.

Really, really, really still trying to find My People here on Mastodon. Am I on the wrong server or something? I'm a self-employed #artist / #maker / #writer ... I make #ceramics ( #pottery )... dye #yarn ... #knit ... read #sciencefiction ... have two #dogs and eleven #cats ... am a recent #widow who loves to talk about what a wild ride #grief is ... and I'm a #Floridian scared shitless for my #BiPOC and #lgbtqia friends and family. Is that enough tags? Hello? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

We're here, we're queer, we're federated: How queer, trans, and non-binary people helped create Mastodon and are shaping today's fediverse

Happy Pan Visibility Day to all pansexual and panromantic folks and all those who celebrate it!

For the occasion I drew a picture of Conor (who is pan) from my webcomic "Spotlights and Poison".

I hope you like it!

And we can promote the heck out of each other. We are stronger together. Closing from Mastodon•ART 🎨 Curato @Curator ( https://mastodon.art/@Curator/110292582287364639): “...with a thread for “BIPOC creatives, please tag yourselves! Introduce your work, provide pictures, add your shop/donation links. Everyone else: please boost the heck out of the replies!”

We are in a moment, and moments like this don’t come along often. This is a lot bigger than which UI has more bells and whistles, or what features you prefer. This is our opportunity to throw off the yoke of corporate predation. To free social media from walled gardens. We won’t get another chance. We are all in this together.

#twittermigration #BIPOC #BlackMastodon #LGBTQIA

Try to understand these critiques, even if it does not jive with your experience. They are not ‘wrong.’ It takes time to address technical shortcomings and resolve conflicting feature set issues. But for the future of this great experiment, we need to do so in a spirit of inclusiveness, kindness and understanding.

Wise words on moderation of targeted harassment from Vrimj @Vrimj (https://mastodon.sandwich.net/@Vrimj/110295385218297439): “...we routinely put people who don't experience a form of harassment in charge of detecting it and it is just as likely to fail.”

And JT the Artful @jtphillipsmnr shares his journey (https://mastodon.art/@jtphillipsmnr/110290363287096605). “...by the time a Black person gets to their 2nd (or so) racist server with confusing infrastructure they might be 100% fed up and off of Mastodon for good.”

#twittermigration #BIPOC #BlackMastodon #LGBTQIA

A good place to start listening is @kissane ‘s essay (https://erinkissane.com/blue-skies-over-mastodon). She says, “I hate it that I can’t in good conscience encourage Black friends to get on Mastodon, because I know they’re going to be continuously chided by white people if they mention race or criticize anything at all about Mastodon itself.”

#twittermigration #BIPOC #BlackMastodon #LGBTQIA

It is not easy to build an inclusive world spanning social network. There are technical challenges and there are human challenges. Listening to each other and resisting the urge to dismiss concerns, or demand quick fixes is challenging. Patience is hard, and it is particularly difficult if we don’t feel like we are being heard. So let’s listen, even if it is hard.

#twittermigration #BIPOC #BlackMastodon #LGBTQIA

Growing pains...

Months in now to the great #MastodonMigration, and our community is being tested. Mastodon is not perfect. The interface needs polish, the feature set is a source of contention, and shiny new objects hold out promises to solve everything that frustrates us. But for all that, it is an amazing phenomenon. A rag-tag, people powered network threatens corporate domination of social networking. Together we can do this.

I have noticed my follower count is lower (but rising faster than it did on Twitter or Instagram), yet engagement is at a higher ratio and the quality of engagement is much, much higher! It is real interaction, not just simple four-word replies for others to notice 💙 Mastodon is where it is at, especially for #LGBTQIA #nerds like me! 🏳️‍🌈💙

Just found out that my publisher has posted my interview on their You Tube Channel https://youtu.be/b4bJI_XOCng blush

Another one of my introspective self-portraits. I make one at the end of each year and try to capture the relationship between my body and my gender identity throughout those past months. This one represented 2020.
(I’ll link the most recent one in a toot below) ✨

"It's incredible," the young king observed, "But is it in vogue?"

"Absolutely," the royal tailor assured, "You'll turn many heads, your majesty."

The king fidgeted, "Is it in vogue in Thua?"

The tailor blinked, "I believe so, your majesty."

"Are you sure..?"

"Why's it matter, your majesty?"

The king blushed, "I want to court Thua's king."

"Oh, then I shall double-check out and make any appropriate adjustments, your majesty!"
