character sheet for my new daggerheart pc miss kitty! got to play a lil last weekend and it’s been soooo fun so far 💕
(i Will go back to everlasting haitus if that GFM slows down too much btw, seeing it to its goal ASAP is my primary focus right now)
every once in a while you just gotta go "This Reality Is Not Acceptable" and put yourself all in on one cause and not let up on it until it is done, to make sure at least one fact of that unacceptable reality, changes. at least one more tragedy avoided.
that is what i have chosen to do here.
i'll admit i'm not especially good at drawing more realistic portraits/people, but i took a crack at it for this. in the back of mind, is the thought: i want to be able to draw a proper family portrait for them a year from now, if they'd like one, and have nobody suddenly be missing from it.
donate, boost, share the GFM yourself on any platforms you may have/on websites i'm not on, in your community servers, anywhere sympathy and action can be found. please.
As of this update, April 11th, the GFM is at 42k out of 60k, but traffic has starting slowing down the past 48 hours, so I’m nudging more again with that status! Please let’s get this the rest of the way to the goal ASAP!
they don’t just need out, the whole family, including the kids, need prompt medical care! I urge anyone reading these words to help however they can, please, peace, and thank you 🕊️ 🍉
Isn't House problematic??
i live in one so i hope not
the sandwich price to minimum wage ratio is getting so fucked up
if you play video games long enough you see the fandoms treat black characters the same way over and over and over again (wyll ravengard, felix iresso, preston garvey, vivienne de fer, etc etc etc)
"they're boring" "they're annoying" "they're useless" "I never use them" begging you all to take 3 seconds to examine why you hold black characters to such high standards
I’m so pressed about how evil this company is that I’m reposting Alex’s gofundme over here. They’re trying to bury Alex under so many legal fees that they have no choice but to give up their ip… and they’re only one of many many people (and pets!) that have been harmed by this company.
#this company has literally trademarked people's real living cats and stolen their instagrams from them#like there is straight up at least one person who had a pet instagram that this company now runs posting old pictures of their cat#and the cat owner's conclusion was basically ''well at least i got to keep my cat'' which#holy fuck
this is still an active gofundme as they're trying AGAIN.
company doing the bullshit is Golden Bell btw
So uh…I know that today is Trans Day of Visibility and this website’s mods are pretty horrible to trans women but…
Over on Insta and TikTok, Mercury Stardust (also known as The Trans Handy Ma’am) has been trying to raise money for trans kids. Her account has been flagged by trolls and banned 11 times. Shes not giving up, but she could use some support. Please please go check out her accounts and consider donating to the 501c charity she’s supporting. Our trans siblings need us right now.
Link to her insta, since her tiktok is currently banned again: https://www.instagram.com/mercurystardusttopz?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
She does all types of helpful DIY videos for home repair and helps answer questions for renters. Please give her a follow. Send her a nice message. Please let our trans community members know we see them and love them—today and everyday.
Hello everybody.

Please do not ignore this post, share as much information and resources as you can for Palestine.
Fundraiser masterpost
This is a masterpost for the evacuation fundraisers I've vetted so far, a few other fundraisers I find trustworthy but have not been able to vet (inability to communicate with the organizer), and a few semi-completed fundraisers or fundraisers for a different purpose (like house rebuilding, or aid distribution). The numbers next to the names have no significance beyond ease of navigation for me for when I check their progress in the future. Occasionally I will update these with new info.

Ideal work schedule:
- I show up and am given a list of cognitively engaging but achievable tasks
- I complete the list
- I leave immedietly
no no no, it’s totally fine—will you excuse me for a moment? (steps outside to shriek and sob)
