Hey so it's come to my attention that the Creators of Disco Elysium want you to share the game and not give the company who took over and fired them (illegally)?) any profits off of their ideas and work, and I originally joined tumblr 2 weeks ago when that post was going around about the Steam sale and how you should [Skull and Crossbones flag] it instead.

So.

in light of that.

Check the replies/notes of this post :)

I was informed that posts containing links in them aren't findable in the search so i'll just.... drop a link in a seperate reboot :)

first things first though, copy this key:

Ya Allah, give me patience to deal with these people

in what way is hamas a monster? These kind of people never seems to give a solid answer for that

1,000 dead civilians kicked this off and "in what way is hamas a monster", holy shit

The IDF are murderers. Hamas are murderers, too.

Never mind that half of those were IOF soldiers, Hamas did what was inevitable after 75 years of oppression. You bomb an entire group of Palestinians, deny them basic human rights, isolate them within an open air prison, starve them, kill their families, steal their lands, make the majority of the fighters orphans and it's definitely gonna bite your ass. If you wanna hold anyone culpable, that would be Israel.

not only is there no evidence that hamas committed atrocities, but from a military point of view, taking into account both written and unwritten rules of warfare:

gaza is under blockade and siege initiated by "israel" which is thus already at war with gaza by their own initiative according to international law

hamas gave clear warning that they would retaliate for attacks on al aqsa and ongoing pogroms in the west bank, if the regime continued to pursue this extermination policy. so not on their own behalf (see above) but as a measured response to the ongoing ethnic cleansing and genocide being conducted by "israel" in front of the eyes of the world, with impunity

this attack was conducted with the aim of capturing hostages to exchange for the freedom of thousands of palestinians unjustly and illegally held by "israel". there is no evidence that hamas targeted civilians for mass killing the way palestinians themselves are and have been targeted for 75 years by "israel"

the attack was also a massive humiliation and defeat for the iof, this is a valid and worthwhile military objective in and of itself

even a full month after oct 7th, "israel" has failed to evidence the claim of "1400 dead civilians" something like half of the 600 or so confirmed deaths are soldiers and police, i.e armed combatants who are valid targets in a military engagement. of the remainder, there is strong evidence that many were killed in the iof's own panicked response. the willingness of "israel" to slaughter its own civilians being held in gaza further supports this.

in conclusion, hamas has shown itself to be incomparably more humane and honorable than their opponents in the iof. they have set a shining example to people fighting for freedom everywhere, one that will not be forgotten. gaza is to the iof what stalingrad was to their nazi predecessors. they are sure to be defeated and palestine will be free, from the river to the sea. that day is now in sight. glory to the resistance 🇵🇸

i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

N7 Day 2023

Well, I don't have much new right now (my next Mass Effect pic is a YCH and it's WIP), but it's N7 day again, and I'm obligated to remember how much I enjoy the series again! Without Mass Effect, I wouldn't have pushed as far as I did into digital art, or met my spouse, or any of the cool friends and artists along the way. Most of the people I know now are tied pretty directly to having met in the fandom still! I have mixed feelings about where things may go with stuff as time advances, but I'll always love it for what the games were and what I found around them no matter what! For future games, though, I absolutely hope for the best, but expect the worst anymore.

...but anyway! Mass Effect has been a great thing in my life for the last 10+ years! Here's my most popular drawing ever, by far, yet again for the occasion. Happy N7!

This guy is my new hero. I LOVE learning about native food plants that just grow everywhere without human help.

The database is a little clunky to use (especially on a phone), but still loads of excellent information.

Here’s their website - Food Plant Solutions - and they can use volunteers! And $ of course. What they really need help with is connecting with NGOs/groups on the ground already working in countries, to get them access to the database. They also need help from formally trained agronomists, people good with website stuff, and people good at marketing / getting the word out about their project.

"I Just Don't Think That's Going To Happen"

Good news: I finally made a new comic!

Bad news: It's about something that sucks! If the good news here outweighs the bad, maybe support me on Patreon.

In the midst of talking about how much this sucks, I am extremely fortunate to even be able to move to somewhere safer. Please support those who can't, or who need a helping hand to go somewhere they can be themselves. (Give trans people money)

[Image description: Comic, sixteen panels. Panel 1: Robin speaking on her phone, clearly distressed, tears in her eyes: "I'm telling you that I'm scared. These people-- the kind of people you vote for-- want to take my health care, my rights away from me. I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave my home." The voice from the phone answers: "Well," Large dialogue text in a large white space between panels: "I just don't think that's going to happen." Panel 2: Robin, wide eyes still tearing up, stares in disbelief at her phone. Panel 3: A website heading "Home > News" above a headline that reads "Utah just banned gender-affirming healthcare for transgender kids. These 21 other states are considering similar bills in 2023." Panel 4: Another headline reads "Health care for transgender adults becomes new target in 2023 legislative session." sub heading continues: "Lawmakers prefiled many anti-trans bills ahead of state--" Panel 5: Robin looking at a tablet screen, concerned. Panel 6: Robin siting on a couch, watching TV. A speaker on the TV says: "After the anti-LGBTQ+ campaign prompted several protests and bomb threats made against the Boston facility, the group has now turned its gaze toward the Gender Health Program at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville." Panel 7: Several headlines: "New Tennessee bill banning 'male or female impersonators' in public could criminalize drag performers and trans people" "Missouri lawmakers ban transgender care for minors, restrict coverage for adults" "Tennessee has passed a ban on gender affirming health care for trans kids. The bill's exceptions may only exist on paper" They headlines are accompanied by a map showing the severity of anti-transgender legislation in different US states. Panel 8: Robin's spouse Jordan sitting on the couch, looking up from her laptop toward Robin. Robin is gripping her arm tightly, a look of distress and sadness on her face, tears welling in her eyes. Jordan says "That's it. We're leaving." Panel 9: Robin taping the top of a cardboard moving box, looking over her shoulder toward Jordan, who is saying something as she walks away holding another box. More boxes are stacked behind them. Panel 10: Robin sitting at a table with a large stack of paperwork and holding a pen. She is leaning back and groaning: "Eughhhhhh" Panel 11: Robin standing with three friends, embracing as one of them speaks "I'm glad we got to see you before you left. We'll miss you." Panel 12: Jordan and Robin standing by the open trunk of their car. Several bags and suitcases are loading into the back. Jordan is shoving things in tighter and grumbling "It WILL fit!" Robin, holding a vacuum compression bag of full of clothing that has yet to go in the trunk, looks unsure. Panel 13: Robin and Jordan standing in the empty house, lights off, with sunlight coming in from the windows in the back doors and lighting them from behind. Robin looks upset, Jordan has a comforting hand on her shoulder. Panel 14: Jordan and robin sitting in the very full car, their dog in the back seat. Jordan is driving, Robin in the passenger seat looking out the window. Panel 15: Robin, still in the passenger seat of the car, now propping her head up with her hand on her cheek. She is looking down, seeming morose. Large dialogue text in a large white space between panels: "I just don't think that's going to happen." Panel 16: closer shot on Robin. Her gaze has shifted outside the window, her expression is now bitter, with tears gathering in her eyes.]

u guys know sexuality gender and the way u feel attraction can change right. u know you can put labels on and off right. nothing is solid swim a little if you like etc

normalize saying "it was a phase, mom". in a way that doesn't take away that it was real.

this should go without saying but this is also especially true if you identified as ace and then suddenly you're head over heels in sexy romantic love. or if you were bi and then are suddenly feeling hetero feelings only. there's nothing shameful about that. maybe it was real, maybe you we're figuring things out - that's for you to know only.
