My beloved cat Dipper has been having a rough time at the vet and, well, that ain't cheap. So to help pay for my poor boy's continued indignities, I'm opening commissions!
I would love to draw your blorbos, whether from your shows or your brain!!
For more detailed information, see my website: lizzlybonk.neocities.org/commissions
Commissions also available on my Ko-Fi!
ah yes the insidiously subtle political propaganda of *checks notes* showing people living their day to day in a country you don't like
like i'm sorry but if a video of someone in china showing what the border looks like and having a quick peek at what their neighbors are up to reads as insidious political propaganda, but like, the fucking met gala isn't propaganda with a political agenda to you, then your idea of propaganda is just "showing me thing i'm not used to"
everything is political propaganda bitch. start reading between the lines.
If people in north korea can’t even chill on video without you feeling like there’s some kind of deception and trickery going on like they’re playing political 4D chess then maybe. Just maybe. You’re a fucking weirdo

no more cold and calculating i want warm and calculating. i want characters who use deductive reasoning to figure out whether their friend would like a wool or cotton quilt based off of their lifestyle, career, hobbies, and habits. i want "your nails are often chipped because you work for a law firm as a typist for this company which notoriously underbudgets their IT department, so ive bought you a keyboard cover that will not only prevent manicure damage but is also sensory friendly because I know you dislike certain clicking noises". i want characters who figure out their friends entire schedules and social battery levels just by examining who only use that info to know when the best time is to hang out with them. i want characters who create elaborate, supervillain level schemes just to get their hands on some collectible they know their best friend wants. most of all i want characters who do not use intelligence and reasoning skills as a reason to be cruel but as a means to be kind
Thank u comrade tyranitar
that is godzilla
nothing but respect for comrade godzilla but that's fucking tyranitar
some of y'all need to learn how to accept hospitality. stop assuming people are only offering to look after you out of twisted obligation that they don't actually want to do. when you assume that, you are often denying someone the opportunity to genuinely show a friend or stranger love. even if you don't really care about what they're offering, it's respectful of their desire to be kind to accept it anyways.
i had a bunch of girls i've never met over for a women's group. every single one of them denied my offer to make them tea (despite already making myself a mug anyways), get them water, a scone, etc.
i can tell when people refuse to let me be a good host because they "don't want to be a bother". like no!! please be a bother!!! i want to serve you and make you comfortable in my home!
not to be like "we live in a society" but really do live in a modern culture than emphasizes individualism to the point where people will reflexively deny any help or kindness from others for fear of treading on their independence. newsflash: dependence on each other is what makes a community. next time someone offers you kindness, accept it instead of making excuses for why you don't need it. otherwise you've robbed both yourself of being loved and someone else from showing love.
One of the things that really helped me make friends as an adult was learning that people want to be wanted, they want to be useful
Accepting help and offering help in return was key to deepening acquaintances into fully-fledged friendships
can we stop promoting the idea that nature has to look beautiful to be good?

Today is Nakba commemoration day. Today 74 years ago, British and (now) Israeli troops invaded Palestine and massacred the residents of over 530 villages and towns and drove them out. On this day, please make the effort to inform yourself on the nature of this occupation, and settler-colonization.
Here is a 5 episode documentary describing the process of colonization from as early as 1799 to the actual Nakba in 1948 and its immediate aftermath (be sure to click on the read more to see the episodes). A number of Israeli, British, and Arab historians explain the formulation and development of the project to colonize Palestine by Western powers, and Palestinian refugees recount their experiences living under this. Fair trigger warning, there is extreme violence described as well as footage of bombings and concentration camps.
The Nakba isn't over, it never ended. It just takes a different shape and form now, and Israeli and Western propaganda has allowed it to take an inexcusable form with complete international impunity. Speak out, tell your friends and family, share with those you know care, convince those on the fence about it. Don't let Western misinformation continue to propagate in your circles. Learn the truth and decolonize your mindset.
Please reblog.
76 years of ongoing Nakba

the thing that sucks most about Joanne Rowling being a terf is that she is actively hurting real life trans people every day.
the second worst thing about joanne being a terf is that the Harry Potter intellectual property is So Much Larger than her. look at the credits for just one of the harry potter movies. every single one of those people put YEARS of time and effort and dare i say love into those films. think of all the people involved in theme park design and operation who put together the wizarding world park lands and detailed them so lovingly and fully
and yet even though the intellectual property of harry potter is so much larger than joanne, she's poisoned the whole well
i feel so. so immensely sorry for every person involved in the harry potter ip who isn't jkr. doubly sorry for every trans person involved. it's fucking sad
I want to be very clear, before we have a category 4 piss on the poor moment, that this post is not saying "it's ok to like Harry Potter still because other people were involved in it, and the ip is larger than jkr" NO! you must fully divest yourself from the harry potter intellectual property!
if you go to universal studios, it's fine to ride the rides and appreciate them on a theme park artistry level. jkr had nothing to do with the engineering. and you're already there for other reasons--riding the rides doesn't give any more money to jkr. but do NOT buy any hp branded merch, at the parks or anywhere else! that's where joanne makes her money! hp merch funds anti-trans legislation! almost directly!
"What about buying indie merch? What if I buy from artists on etsy? Nothing goes to JKR then..." I hear you cry. and you have a point. that's harm reduction. buying indie merch is unambiguously better than buying licensed merch.
but you must be aware that it still makes trans people feel unsafe. you become schrodinger's terf. i see people with hogwarts houses in their bios and i feel a chill. i see cars with glasses-and-lightning-scar bumper stickers and i have to wonder if those people literally wants my wife dead or if they're just clueless.
it's just horrifically sad that so many people put so much love and years of work and artistry and blood sweat tears etc into an IP that is now retroactively so emblematic of transphobia
another reminder to stop buying/watching/reading anything JK Rowling associated
I cannot stress enough she is a primary funder of transphobia. She is not just someone with bigoted views you can seperate from her work, her work funds the bigotry.
people say folks with adhd struggle with "delayed rewards" aka long term goals and as such we tend to focus more on short term rewards. what they don't talk about is that at when we Do accomplish long term goals we don't actually feel anything proportionate to the amount of work we did to achieve it. In my head I suffered for a while and then money spontaneously appeared in my bank account.
"Don't you feel satisfied that your windows are so clean now?" It sucked and it sucked and now I don't care. I just remember the sucking.
Wait, I'm sorry, I appreciate that Disney is terrible but are you implying Doctor Who having an actual budget would be bad? The appeal is that it looks bad? I literally found it unwatchable because it looks so bad, but that's what you like about it?
That’s EXACTLY what I’m implying. I’m genuinely sorry that it’s a problem for you, but I, and many other people in the fandom! unironically find Doctor Who’s terrible special effects to be part of its charm. They were terrible in 1963 when they introduced the roving trash cans that are the Daleks, and they’re terrible in 2022 when they use simplistic and blatant greenscreen to put the characters on the roof of a space train going through a wormhole. Doctor Who can and should have good acting, good writing—compelling characters and well-constructed both episodic and season-long plots—and a soundtrack that makes me tear up sometimes (@Murray Gold I miss you). But special effects that look like they were made in someone’s garage and/or on iMovie, I would argue, contribute to the core themes of the joy of imagination and the principle that anyone can be a hero like the Doctor and her companions. Yes, you, with your plastic sonic screwdriver toy and your cardboard suit painted to look like a Cyberman! That’s about all the BBC has, and if they can do it, so can you!
The only good special effects on Doctor Who should be regeneration and opening and stepping into the TARDIS, and the latter should be a accomplished mostly with physical effects (which it is). Keep your nasty budgetses; we want the same spacesuit used over and over and obviously plastic alien masks.
