I hate how dysphoria affects fucking everything, like I’m It’s so hard to convince yourself reliably that you’re enough of a woman, and it’s so hard to see any slight or poor comparison you’re involved in being not related to the fact you’re not feminine enough or pretty enough or cis enough.

Being passive aggressively told that “Your Card’s shouldn’t stay in doing for a week, you should have a think about that” when you have a lot of work anxiety, and also bronchitis does that make for a healthy work environment and I want to scream and cry and have a mental breakdown at my desk.

“When we made Affinity free, some people assumed there had to be a catch. Let me be absolutely clear. There is no catch.”

I do not think this comment will age well. You don’t spend USD$1 billion on something just to give it away. It’s very likely the plan is a freemium model, because that’s what the rest of Canva is. That means gating features behind a subscription tier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9YR9KeCJDY

I just want to make pretty art, flirt with pretty girls, and work an emotionally and intellectually stimulating job for a wage that allows me to home, care for and spend time with at least one dog and possibly some children in the future, is that too much to ask for?

Surgery would also be nice.

I don’t know what annoys me more, fandom culture, or art scene people who have never been involved in fandom culture completely misunderstanding and misrepresenting fandom culture.
