Thanks for the tag @larissa-the-scribe!

OC Tag game:

I'll answer these questions then ask three more and the people I tag are forced to answer

I'll do this for Wryden

How does your character feel about long road trips?

It depends on his mood. If he can control the music he is going to SHOVE HIS MUSIC TASTE DOWN YOUR THROAT. Or he's taking pictures the entire time. Although if he is sitting beside Erin, he is going to be cuddling the entire time and not paying attention to anything else except state borders and telling quirky facts about the scenery.

2. What's your character's favorite letter of the alphabet and why?

I'd say Q. He likes it bc no one else does lol

3. Opinion on rainy weather?

He loves it. It's honestly great for taking pictures and the aesthetic. Not to mention the sound of falling rain while sitting by a fire surrounded by pillows with your girlfriend.

Questions:

What do they keep in their bag?

Do they have any nicknames? What are they?

What's a weird thing they are obsessed with?

Senators are going to vote on whether or not we should continue to send aid to Israel on Wednesday, November 13th. Call them, bombard their phone lines with calls. Every fucking day. We have a chance of doing something about this.

While you are at it, please share @zinaanqar ‘s campaign (link here)

Always great when this is the thumbnail of the weeks forecast

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

If you need further help in a quick format, here is one, but i urge you to also add in the details for requiring an investigation, not just recount.

I know its a shitty situation and were tired but we still have to try to fight for a life that's worth living.

If you can blaze this post, GO FOR IT!!!

Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.

If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.

Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.) If you want an extra verification, find your state's election website and double-check there.

So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)

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 :)

for the redditors coming here, this is how we spread news of important events in the world, with a Destiel meme

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.

edit because i forgot to explain: short link is to an article by the washington post, it should be free to read

[great-and-small]

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.

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

💖 Jordan Lehmann, please!! (I'm a sucker for assassin characters lol)

fr tho. Why do I always love the assassins so much

Eeeeeek yes. So Jordan is an assassin (obviously), and Travis McKenna is trying to help him to get his morals straight. Travis gets this other girl who has powers (current name is red, may change) to try and help (since he's an assassin it can be dangerous to try to get to him). ANNNDDDD thay end up falling in love although Jordan really wishes it didn't happen because he doesn't think he should get attached to anyone (or so his trainers tell him).

Lets just say it's hard to be in love with someone who's against the people you work for...

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

[marlynnofmany]

If that doesn't have potential for some fairytale nonsense, I don't know what does.
