All the adults should put in the tags how old they were in 2007

any gregor the overlander enjoyers in the chat? anyways, i made a humanish au of ares! i might do aurora or ripred next. i have some ideas for them :3c i dont recall what the underlanders were wearing, bc gregor was like "their clothes are weird" and then thats it. but i feel like their clothes would be old timey. and yes, i know the underlanders have silver hair. but silver hair on ares felt wrong. hes always had black hair in my mind

I LOVE IT

THE LONG HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL AND 100% SHOULD BE CANON

I ALSO LOVE THE OUTFIT

WAAAA TY!!!!!!!!! the hair was a struggle bc i wasnt sure how to style his long hair. short hair didnt feel right to me, but i felt unsure of what to do w his hair if i made it long. but im very glad u like it :)

can I get a job as an editor but the only thing I do is correct when someone uses the word "prone" when they mean "supine"

thank you wikipedia for this really good image

a helpful mnemonic for everyone

guy who's stuck in a timeloop for so long he stops wanting to leave it. guy who started out trying to escape but slowly grew used to and became comforted by the familiarity of the repeating day. guy who is no longer who he was before the timeloop. guy who is offered a way out and violently refuses it because he can't leave, doesn't want to leave. guy who escapes the timeloop by chance or force or accident and doesn't know how to live anymore. guy who keeps going through motions that don't match the situation and keeps having conversations that aren't actually occurring. guy who panics every time he realizes he can't predict the next instant. guy who left the timeloop but still lives with it.

Not to undermine the message, because yes, especially locally, votes count - but the only reason they were able to avoid the veto-override was that a couple more Republicans changed their votes from when they originally passed the legislation.

So, actually this is more "vote and" adding to the message rather than undermining, because at least one of those Repubs said her changed vote was due to people in her district contacting her and urging her not to support the override. So vote AND contact your reps.

hey reminder to continue boycotting eurovision and instead turn your eyes on gaza where the last media outlet al jazeera has just been shut down so that Israel can launch its attack on the most densely populated area in the world without scrutiny. Dont stop talking about Palestine

An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked "Philippines 1942". Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)

This is so freaking profound. Like, this was before the advent of the personal camera. Not just anyone owned a camera in these days. Cameras were expensive, and so was the film. When you were recording shit, it had to be stuff you were willing to shell out a pretty penny to have preserved. Someone so deeply and profoundly loved these dogs and found joy in them that they decided to preserve them for future generations to see, after these pups are long dead and gone. This camera operator wanted to preserve the joy these dogs brought them and to share it with others. How incredible is that?

limited color palette work in progress :)

haven't drawn anything other than tiny doodles in a long time so this feels pretty nice

palette is "Without Merit" from @color-palettes

Here's a website where Palestine GoFundMes are vetted and shared that you can send out to people. The url is gazafunds.com

Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.

there's more important things happening in the world than a guy getting his feelings hurt over getting his ass schooled tbh

sorry he bit you. It’s his coping mechanism

“what is he coping with?” the weight of the world on his gay shoulders

If you genuinely, truly, absolutely, cannot bring yourself to vote for the president of the united states, please just show up for elections anyway and vote for your congresspeople and local representatives.

Please.

Just.

If you cannot bring yourself to vote for the president because he's so disgusting of a candidate you morally cannot bring yourself to cross that line, then PLEASE vote for your congresspeople and local representatives who can block, defend, or present new bills, actions, acts, etc.

These are the people who can actually confirm or deny or impede horrendous acts when they happen.

Like. This is the bare minimum. If you cannot vote for the President, please just still vote for someone.

Change doesn't happen if you don't vote for the people willing to enact change.

The "smaller" elections often have the biggest impact on your actual life. Everything starts local and works its way outward, not the other way around. Every time a judge lets a cop off the hook for killing an unarmed person? You can vote those judges out. Those anti-queer laws in your home state? You can vote out the governor. Hate seeing your taxes raised for the sake of more cops while the schools and the roads go to shit? You can vote on those tax bills. "Blue" states aren't safer just because of who they vote for as president. It's because they voted for better governors, better judges, better laws.

You gotta do it, because fuckhead old conservatives are doing it. They've got bad ideas and they're willing to make them your problem. Your single vote might not count for much in the presidential election, but it absolutely has an impact on who is in charge in your particular town.

Your vote in a schoolboard election can mean the difference between electing someone who thinks public schools are good versus someone who reps Moms For Liberty and not so secretly wants to burn books that make them feel icky.

#States rights are more powerful than the federal government

#if you want your state to be safe for marginalized people

#then you need to vote progressive and tell everyone you know to vote progressive

Part of why the regressive bigots of the right wing have had their way is because they work at the local level, and have traditionally seen minimal actual pushback because so much attention is placed on the highest offices. There's actually so few of them, they literally ship the same handful of people across state lines for their shitty little bigot cry-fests, and more and more we're seeing that they shrivel and run away at any show of opposing numbers in local school boards and parents' meetings.

There's more of us than there are of them. Time to remind them of that on a fundamental level.

there are muslims being elected to congress, black women being elected to congress, gay men being elected to congress, in Delaware there is a trans woman running for congress. This is like the first decade in the history of our country that real representation is possible at this level, and it's not in a boring "progress is inevitable this is just how the future goes" kind of way, this is during a historic rise in fascism and corruption and state sponsored violence. Nobody before us had this kind of chance, all while facing a resurgence of puritanical fascist extremism. Don't abdicate your place in history, because this will be a time that gets studied -- a vote will not solve all our problems, but it's a hell of a lot more than nothing; it might just save us enough to let us go on to find the solutions we need
