Recent commission! The details on this one were crazy fun to paint, I spent a lot of time on it but I'm really happy with the result :)

If you'd like to make an inquiry or get more information about commissions, feel free to email silverthegold@gmail.com.

I have been very anxious and worried and upset for obvious reasons, so I have been collecting resources that people have been posting into a master post, as well as adding my own resources. This post is LONG so it's under a cut, but it includes:

Hotlines

Places to Donate and/or Volunteer

Food + Medical Resources (incl. HRT)

Resources to Stay Positive

Hotlines

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3

EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings

EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.

You should be furious that people trying to escape genocide in Gaza, Sudan, Congo all need raise an absurd amount of money just to survive

You should be furious at how these people went through atrocity after atrocity and still need raise tens of thousands of dollars to get away

You should be furious at this insidious thing that completely encapsulates how capitalism feeds off of blood

The two parts of my drawing Tower of Babylon.
