#AND I LOVED IT!!!!

[ghosting-fox]

also today is the 2 year Anniversary of FNAF Security Breach and i'm gonna ramble a bit and get cringy and cheesy but i truly love this game and it literally changed my life

leaving aside the fact that 2 years ago i was honestly at a rock bottom and Security Breach offered me a safe place, this silly, buggy game literally rekindled my spark for art and gave me actual;;;freedom?? for the longest time i had this subconcious fear of not drawing something that is "cringe", even in my sketchbook that was only for me. when i watched the game, i instantly fell in love with the characters and wanted to draw them but still had this hesitation of "what if it's cringe? what if they look bad?"

and then came this lovely community of artists of all levels who was unashamedly posting for everyone to see their self-indulgent art, their self-inserts, their ships, their headcanons. and when someone was coming and saying "ew that's cringe" they were answering back with "watch me.". and i started to think "if these people can post without any shame all this art deemed "cringe", why shouldn't i draw cringe stuff for me in my sketchbook?"

and that's how it started. at first it was Sun and Moon and then shortly after i was thinking "hey, i want to draw clowns. i want to draw elves. i want to draw kids having fun. i want to draw small cute animals. hell i want to draw the other animatronics. i want to draw whatever i want to draw"

and suddenly that barrier was gone, suddenly i didn't care anymore if what i was drawing was cringe, i was drawing because it made me happy. after an almost 2 year long break from social media, i came back to share my art. and i've met so so many lovely people who enjoy my silly art, so so many lovely people who create lovely art, so so many lovely people.

and this all thanks to a silly, buggy game about a bear animatronic helping a child escape from a huge pizzeria

This Pride I hope that all of you never ever forget that no amount of sanitizing your sex life or sanding down of your LGBT edges will make bigots accept you. So, don’t debase yourself by capitulating an inch to them, especially in ways that throw your fellow community members under the bus.

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

The cat and the dad she said she "didn't want"

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. :)

I could think of no better way to share the news than this!

So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.

Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.

Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!

Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)

He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!

I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!

Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:
