>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

#anyway this is why i'm the way i am about politics and people who advocate against 'participating in the system'#i am on my way to becoming one of the ten guys and frankly? it's fucking exhausting #i chatted with the union president afterwards and he got this haunted look in his eye #and was like 'i'm glad to see you getting involved but remember you can say no. you can always say no.#don't let anyone bully you into doing more than you want to. make time for yourself. YOU CAN SAY NO.'#which was good and much appreciated advice! but also. ominous

Peace and love

#pink posts #i saw a tweet that was like “i see other people's art” --> i get discouraged #i understand that seeing art that is prettier than yours can be discouraging but why not twist that a bit?#why does it look prettier to you? is it the colors #is it the textures they used? the brushes?#study them and try to put your spin on it #and maybe you'll find your art beautiful as well

ppl were drawing mikus from all over so heres habesha miku and her lil twin sibs rin and len!!

#this trend sparked so much joy in my soul #i saw many fun cute and silly mikus #i love drawing habesha clothes but a lot of them require small detailed embroidery that makes me go insane #this is why ppl use pattern brushes cuz damn i had to simplify everything basically #also im bad at writing amharic and tigrinya oops!!#this was fun it got me outta a slump i was in all damn week #interestingly... their faces look a lot like my siblings and i? i didnt mean to do that at all tho... huh #my art #hatsune miku #kagamine rin #kagamine len #vocaloid

this manatee looks like it’s in a skyrim loading screen

#lol good luck finding all of the photoshopped versions in the rb history. ‘manatee restored’ is still my favorite of all time #misc #I encourage anyone dyslexic to try rotating him in your mind. I can’t do that; which is why I’m asking you to.#also: a bunch of tags are surprised this isn’t ‘shopped #it’s the lighting. backlit by the sun (which is diffused through the water) but also forelit artificially #the artificial light - a flash pack or something - casts a hard shadow under the creatures arm #which normally wouldn’t be possible if backlit by the SUN; you’d see a less-hard/more-fragmented shadow above water #as light sources ‘compete’ in a sense - and since there aren’t any light sources which can outshine the literal sun #it looks a bit weird when the darkest shadow is being cast from any other origin point - which is what’s essentially happening here #I don’t know the mechanics of how light travels through water; but I know the effect is substantial even with relatively short distances #also: it’s been balanced and color corrected by the author of the photo - who made deliberate choices to bring out the full potential #so it’s not like it’s a fresh and untouched export #but the kind of ‘tacked on’ appearance of the creature is a result of the lighting conditions within the image

my (cis) brother is using my old license to buy wine and it has the gender marker F on there. so whenever he gets asked he just says “oh i’m trans”. its literally worked every single time.

#the narwhal speaks #we’re close enough in age and looks to pass for the other #if you took out photos and then shrunk it down on shitty plastic #if he gets asked why he doesnt quite look like the photo he has a whole speech planned abt how hormone replacement therapy changed so much #like muscle distribution etc #he hasnt been asked yet tho but hes practed the speech on me its totally great #what a time for our generation to be alive

genuinely irritated about the prevalence of brother-sister character designs where the brother has a huge nose and the sister has a tiny nose. 1) why are you a coward who hates the joy and beauty of women with big noses 2) have you looked at any real human siblings lately 3) why do you appear to think the nose is a secondary sex characteristic

#it makes me feel so crazy Why Do They Look Like That #big noses are not somehow more masc why are we pretending like they are #babbles
