History Repeats Itself

Posted on by Remy St. Gallen

I’m sorry, but after seeing shit like this, I can’t support Israel at all. I apologize for invoking Godwin’s law, but they’re acting as evil as the Nazis did, getting back for the Holocaust the way black Americans are trying to get back for slavery. I support one country called Palestine, where Hebrews, Arabs, Jews, Christians, and Muslims all coexist, not in apartheid (and Palestine’s flag doesn’t even have a crescent moon on it the way Israel’s has the Star of David, which to me is today to the Palestinians what the swastika is to the Jews and the Southern Cross is to black Americans). America needs to stay the hell out of international affairs, pissing away trillions on international conflicts that have nothing to do with us, and focus on its issues. Putting the interests of foreigners above residents of your country is called treason, similar to Abraham Lincoln’s illegal invasion of the Confederacy. I’m no isolationist, but I believe that containment while working for peace is the best policy towards warring nations.

American politics, since despite trying my best to avoid the topic like the plague, it absolutely won’t leave my mind given the traumatic experiences I’ve had with the subject around my own family and especially in the furry fandom. It’s a really triggering subject to me since it’s pretty much the story of my life, given all the dehumanization, invalidation, gaslighting, mockery, and whatnot I’ve endured as an autistic.

What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?

Washington, DC, because America’s terminally-cancerous political “culture” and “system” have been really detrimental towards my mental health, and just even the slightest exposure to US politics gives me suicidal thoughts, since American politics has pretty much been the story of my life. Having a politician as a father who can’t shut up about the subject doesn’t really help in that regard, either.

International Women’s Day

Posted on by Remy St. Gallen

March is Women’s History Month; today is International Women’s Day. Sorry, but the very idea of those things is sexist. Men don’t have their history month, and whites don’t have theirs like blacks, which is racist as well. Being of an “ostracized” group does not make one untouchable (as I’ll freely admit as an autistic), which is still a problem in America and the rest of the world, which falls in line with Paulo Freire’s warning that “oppressed” groups risk becoming oppressors themselves, as has often been the case throughout history (like various communist dictatorships, even Nazi Germany since the Nazis themselves were an oppressed political faction during the 1920s). I support the equality of everyone, not the favoritism or supremacism of specific groups, and from what I’ve seen, said groups are often full of hateful bigots themselves. If you educate a man, you educate an individual; if you do so with a woman, you’re just educating another person, nothing more.

Also, I’ve decided from now on to upload my AI art, since I’ve done a ton, in batches to my DeviantArt Stash, since it’s a real pain trying to get the links and everything to them on my main gallery, so here’s what I’ve done lately:

A lot of themes in recent days such as the Alamo, a day involving remembering veterans, and Alexander Graham Bell Day today (hence all the furs talking on telephones; I tried to get real old-school wall and candlestick phones, but even Bing Create seems to be alien to those types).

AI Art

Today is International Polar Bear Day so I AI-generated polar bear scouts, with mixed results. 

Anthro YCH Price Sheets

A combination of all my furry YCH price sheets since I added “Furs across Canada” and “Furs across History” today.

Digital Art

Today is National Pokémon Day so I drew my Pikachu OC as a retro Boy Scout.

Comparison of the original traditional art I did for Kalika a decade ago with that I did recently.

Today was Tex Avery Day (which is different from his birthday on Feb. 26, the 22nd being said day in his Texas hometown) and World Scout Day, so I did some Avery-style Boy Scout Corgis:

I also did this retro scouting-themed art for a friend’s birthday on DeviantArt:

Today is the first day of Girl Scout Cookie Weekend, so I did a Girl Scouting theme with my daily AI art:

There were two others, but they only featured humans, so I ditched them.

Now for the artwork that I did myself on FireAlpaca:

Basically the female equivalent of my MC (hare/cat hybrid) in a retro Girl Scout troop leader uniform. I listened to ragtime music, popular in the 1910s, while I was doing this.
