i wanna hear about ur oc :3 for voltron :3 pls :3

yay okay! :- )

so i made him to fit in a story with some friends (@razatronz @gilyoungroach @seypia @nikogane) yippie i love having friends and i love voltron and i love having fun!!!

Marb so far:

- His actual name is Mypvsarbb (his parents might’ve hated him idk)🪪

- His younger brother Dazz (@razatronz’s oc) came up with the nickname Marb, and that’s what he goes by🧍‍♂️🧍

- He has a twin sister called Ari (a much normaler name, which supports the ‘his parents hated him’ theory)👯

- He’s altean, and his facemarks are green because of a rare genetic disorder ❇️

- He’s the yellow paladin of voltron🦁

- His bayard is claws (very violent tbh)💅

- He has a cat called Crystal, that he can communicate with (think allura and the mice)🐱

- He grew up with his family in an altean colony controlled by the galran empire. One day they manage to escape in a spaceship, and they travel around exploring different cultures and planets🛸

- One day the planet they’re on is attacked by the galra. Marb and Dazz managed to escape in a ship, but their parents and Ari are captured by the galra🪤

- His goal when he joins voltron is to get his family back, he believes they weren’t killed so he’s determined to save them⛓️‍💥

- He loves his brother a lot and he’s sorta freaking out because he’s older, and now without their parents around, he suddenly has to step up (he’s a teenager how is he supposed to protect his brother as they fight in a space war wtf) 😨

- uhh he’s kinda gay and weird🏳️‍🌈

- He’s like. has a small drinking problem but nothing serious🍾

- He has a permanent blush on his cheeks and ears okay that’s just how he looks 🤭

That’s about all i know about him now :- )

i like him. i think my favorite thing about him is that he’s Dazz’s brother tbh but i think that’s because i like raz. Oh wait, i like his bayard being claws, that’s cool.

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

An informational comic I drew last year for my Comics 2 class, reposting it to my new account (had to jump ship from the old one unfortunately) with some minor grammar changes and learned my lesson in adding watermarks! Happy early pride :)

Reached out to a biologist to request some info about an extinct species of freshwater shrimp and the email she sent in response was not only lovely and helpful but also kind of poetry to me? People who study invertebrates are actually the most hopeful and compassionate scientists that we have.

reminder that adhd medication isn't a luxury or preference, but a lifesaving medication. a 10 year long study in the usa showed that, when properly medicated, the rate of car crashes people with adhd get into goes down significantly--men's rate drops by 38%, and women's by 42%. the med shortage, denial of meds by doctors, rising prices, and the "war on drugs" has killed--with such a car dependent society, not driving frequently isn't an option, which means we need better healthcare and need it now.

israel has now officially been announced as one of the countries participating in eurovision 2024

meanwhile russia is still banned, for the third year in a row. the double standard is just sickening

Btw, non UK users here, would be genuinely super helpful if you could boost posts relating to the far right violence happening and also counter protests. A lot of UK users don’t really follow each other, and also it just helps to increase the chance of people who could go to counter protests seeing posts about what’s happening when. I know posts about our politics; and non USAmerican politics really; don’t get a lot of traction on here, but like despite the UScentrism of the English speaking user base it’s really helpful and beneficial to share these things. The situation is likely downright horrifying to those being targeted right now and it really should be a priority for us to go out and counter this to the best of our abilities

I’m really glad that Aaron’s self-immolation for Palestine is getting attention, but on November 8th there was also a Congolese man who did the same thing for the genocide happening in the DRC. From what I read in the article above, his fate and identity are unknown but I think his story should be getting equal amount of traction and I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it on Tumblr specifically yet.

everybodys gotta get back into the practice of using pseudonyms online... i remember the time of screen names where u never ever told anyone ur real name and that was just understood as basic internet safety. plus having a screen name is fun because sometimes it sticks so well that it becomes part of ur identity that u can use in whatever facet of ur life you choose. it rocks to pick your own name

Hey, PSA for younger/newer transmascs:

Tumblr has been showing targeted ads for "FTM binders" off Amazon. They look like this:

Do not buy these.

A binder is a piece of medical equipment. If you use one incorrectly, or use a poorly made one, you can really fuck up your ribs. This article from the Cleveland Clinic talks about how to bind safely.

A $14 binder is guaranteed not to be safe. There's a reason reputable companies charge more- sometimes a lot more. They have to carefully design binders so they don't crush your ribs or make you sick.

You know how everyone says Don't Bind With Duct Tape? Don't bind with Amazon binders.

Dear mutuals and followers, sorry for the politics in your dashboard but in some homes today we cannot afford to "ignore the problems".

The country where I come from, Venezuela, has had an election for president that has resulted in fraud. Mr. Nicolás Maduro has proclaimed himself President although the votes have said the opposite. This regime has devastated the lives of its citizens, resorting to violence against those who opposed it. It has brought ruin to a nation once celebrated as a pioneer of Latin American independence, yet many choose to overlook its plight. Venezuela, a country that once extended support to immigrants and provided aid to others, is now dismissed as insignificant by many.

If you are an advocate who values the dignity and needs of individuals, we urge you to raise your voice alongside us. Don't ignore us because we are Latinos, this is also a war. It is a conflict against an individual who has controlled his armed forces, law enforcement, narcotics syndicates, and citizens, rendering any attempts at reform futile despite our vocal protests. I have family members who are unable to depart through legal means, and if they choose to leave unlawfully, they face harsh judgment from people of the outside.
