I think the wildest thing about the TikTok Ban is that TikTok decided to adhere to it beyond the letter of the law.

They bent their knee willingly and gave up space and a platform they did not have to. They consciously decided to fuck over their user base when there was no valid reason for them to do so.

I've seen people talking about how you absolutely do not want to obey ahead of authority, and to see TikTok do it is... weird. It's unsettling. It feels like a dangerous stunt.

Specifically, it feels performative. It's got the marks of a Great Drama™, and given Trump's first 4 years and his absolutely bonkers love for theatrics over anything else, this just feels hollow. Like TikTok is trying to turn it's - generally younger - user base into "fans" of the republicans.

They can't really scoop up youths any other way, honestly. But using a big impactful story and putting Trump as the "hero" who saves their beloved platform.

It's not even the 20th and I just don't like how this new administration is starting. I do not like a private company complying beyond the letter of the law in advance of that law either. Because the only thing the law laid down was that they couldn't update the app on Apple and Google.

There wouldn't have been any fines or legal ramifications.

#quin muses #us politics #tiktok ban #tiktok #ugh #I'm just gonna shake this off and get to bed #not trying to spend my long weekend stressed over something I can't control #be safe out there and be fierce #and kind too. That's gonna be important

gargoyle Mal is everything I've ever dreamed of and more. his little raincoat! his umbrella! I hope he really does have big ol' stompy rainboots to splash around in puddles in. I hope they have little faces on them.

(Twst please give me Malleus having a rainy day adventure, this is everything I need right now)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #malleus draconia crown prince of briar valley descendent of the witch of thorns and a mage of frightening power: ooh big splashy #(my brain INSTANTLY to this very day: hit 'em with a splash attack)#honestly though yeah i do just want to see malleus having a really good fun day in the rain looking at some big stone fellas #it's gonna be three solid hours of him lecturing us on the minutiae of stone masonry and i'm gonna be hooked on every second #remember kids: aqueduct means you're in luck #if there's no water spout then get it the heck OUT

dinosaur in a lab coat - would you trust her with operating the centrifuge

#my art #oc #mockley #anthro #furry #dinosaur #i like the headshot especially so i'm including it too #unintentional redraw of the mockley ref from back in may. this is the natural mockley pose i guess - this is her official render #so i included the symbolism thing again with some slight edits #grhaggh i love her i'm ripping her to pieces with my mind.....my doddery old bint #okay i've got a lot to do tonight. why i did this today of all days i don't know but for people who want art from me #keep yer eyes peeled #also i'm gonna also use this for oc-tober. lol #for the monster prompt. mockley's a monster...literally to us and more metaphorically in her universe #also for ages i was trying to make mockley's species a dinosaur but like evolved. different and weirder #now i'm like embracing full dinosaur i'm too tired to make up a new species i can't....i surrender

just to be completely clear, the amount of military power and political influence Israel has has NOTHING to do with its settlers being Jewish. Israel is a force for American & European interests in the region and they're just doing what America does and allows/encourages its close allies to do.

war crimes aren't considered war crimes when someone America finds useful is doing them. european and american pushback against anyone criticizing Israeli apartheid & genocide is 100% because these crimes are useful to American & European hegemony.

Governments that are deeply antisemitic, like France, aren't suddenly caring about Jewish people. Jewish people, persecuted the world over, don't hold some kind of hegemonic power outside of Israel.

The state of Israel and its attendant brutal treatment of the locals are both incredibly useful to the US, and American hegemony means we're expected to celebrate both.

not bc they're Jewish. this isn't a break in the pattern of western antisemitism and it's not evidence that antisemitism doesn't exist.

it's just like how you could get fired for saying shit against the US war in Afghanistan when i was growing up. it is 100% about US military and political interests (ok slightly western europe too but lbr)

#this widespread support has NOTHING to do w Israelis being Jewish apart from evangelicals wanting to use them as pawns for armageddon #the primary reason this is all being treated like it's ok is cuz it's useful to the usa #i feel like this post is going to bring terrible ppl into my inbox but i'm gonna leave it rebloggable for now #if our (US+EU) governments push back at all it will be because it stops being useful to us #either because Israel isn't doing this as quickly & efficiently as promised and it looks like Palestine might actually do some damage #or if it otherwise becomes too politically costly by causing too much tension between the US & other nationstates #either allies like Saudi or if states we aren't quite ready to have war w seem to be ready to throw down over it

my final from last semester that i made into a zine. cooked this one up in a couple hours before the critique (the ink was still wet!), so it's very raw and kind of sloppy but the sentiment is there. i love you trans people of color. we are the backbone of this community 🌟

#pan draws #pan designs #zine #risograph #i'm not gonna lie i don't love how this one turned out OTL and i think the wording is not done but well... a deadline is a deadline #i'll probably touch it up and rewrite it in the future but who's to say.. i need to stew on how to articulate my feelings coherently #anyway my transness is so closely tied to my experience as a person of color. the current political climate is so fucking ass to exist in #but more than anything i am pissed off at white punks & leftists & trans people that refuse to have meaningful solidarity with us.#so yeah anyway. i was stuck on this one forever and only really got anywhere with it after attending 2 punk noise shows in a row where they #actually used their fucking platform to do like. anything. our struggles are connected you need to careeeee YOU HAVE TO CARE........ ok bye #tdov #trans day of visibility #<- i was sitting on uploading this for a while so the stars kind of aligned for it to be today huh.... happy tdov i love you #xines

they licensed his ass

my finished piece of the FWMS (official name definitely 100%) thing we started a few days ago! I had fun I hope folks had and/or continue to have fun with the sketch as well.

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #fhsy #riz gukgak #Fuck With My Sketch #I mean it I'm gonna use that. gotta stop me if u dont wanna #doing things like this is bittersweet bc this slaps and I look at this and Im like well. I will never be able to nail this look again #I guess that's the plight of self taught art. but also it means you have to learn to let go and go look for different delights #you can't get too attached to one way of doing things. you will find many new things on ur way to make more funny bictures n such #this slaps tho Im so happy with how this came out lol. its be a long while since I last drew something in this vein #appropriate that its for riz lol he deserves it. he deserves the photoshoot pieces #funny enough this also kind of was prompted by drawfee? in one of the episodes I was binging (I thiiiink the one bg a day ep)#jacob brought up one of the artists I follow on twitter (havent been there in a decent while lol) who uses a pretty distinct #blue-on-red palette that got me to think abt teal-on-red and then this happened #funny enough I did start the piece with teal-on-red but then I shifted to blue after and was like wait I love this suddenly #and then committed lol. I should work with teal-on-red properly more but for now! we have fun! we enjoy #thats my journey thank u for listening. thank u for drawing with me if u have and come hang next time if u havent

[ID: A digitally illustrated two panel comic of Martin Blackwood and Jonathan Sims from The Magnus Archives. In the first panel Martin is stood at a counter preparing a cup of tea. He is smiling softly with his eyes closed and a thought bubble next to his head shows a small image of Jon with some hearts around him and text reading "ah... Jon...". The second panel shows Jon sat at his desk with the mug of tea from the first panel in his right hand and papers in his left. He is growing and saying "Martin's such a fucking idiot I hope he dies". End description.]

Stupid season 1 jonmartin dynamic ily forever

#listening to jon talk in season 1 after having just listened to s4+5 is hysterical. 'good lord man!' girl you don't actually talk like that #the rp accent is truly so aggressive and as someone who used to talk like that (rip my original accent that will never return)#it's a dark mirror to what i must have sounded like #jonathan sims #martin blackwood #jonmartin #tma fanart #the magnus archives #wait i wanna clarify i didn't do the rp accent by my own volition that was enforced on me by my mum who said i 'spoke like a peasant'#i started speaking like that at around 13 and dropped it at around 15 i think #now my accent is unidentifiable but has a tint of american because of too much time spent watching american shows #but it was originally a lincolnshire accent #sorry for the maddy accent lore in the tags i'm gonna go now

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)
