y’all…“storm area 51, they can’t stop all of us” was only 8 months ago. that’s no time at all. i really thought it was like 2 years ago. like if a child was conceived on the day they “stormed area 51,” it probably wouldn’t even be born yet. these past five years have been the longest century of my life.
it would mean a lot to me if you guys checked out my comic. I’m putting a lot of effort and love into it. Im gonna be doing more art of my ocs too, so you can learn more about them haha
Bright spots where you can find them: this action is illegal and the mayor is doing it anyway. There’s a “historic preservation” law in Birmingham that makes it difficult to impossible to get rid of landmarks past a certain age that “just happened to” grandfather in all the Confederate nastiness around town. Many have wanted this thing gone for a while but there was no legal way to do it. It’s getting done now.
Reblogging with this addition. Important context. Also to say, anyone in the comments who is upset at “”“history”“” being removed, we literally don’t need this. Nobody is about to forget the hundreds of years of oppression that white people have put PoC and esp black people through. And if you forget or you do not teach that to your children, you’re the problem, hands down.
Hey guys I don’t usually add things to posts, but as someone who lives here, I feel like I need to say: don’t praise Mayor Woodfin, he’s just doing it to try end the protests. Today he banned ALL protests, peaceful and otherwise in the city of Birmingham, which as you should all know has a very long and complicated history with racial protests The Alabama ACLU has made a statement, but more people need to hear about it. Here’s a link to an article about it. Don’t let him fool you.

Ok so there’s these tidal islands in Northern Germany that are connected by little tiny trains that you have to drive yourself, which is already delightfully ghibli-esque.
But then I found out UNTIL THE 196OS, THE TRAINS HAD LITTLE SAILS AND WERE WIND-POWERED?
THAT’S THE MOST GHIBLI THING TO EVER EXIST ON THIS PLANET, BRING IT BACK YOU MONSTERS.
