#THIS IS SO IMPORTANT

[slayfk]

posting here because this just doesn’t feel right to talk about in the horseimagebarn voice but this is extremely important to talk about.

my partner and i have returned to our hometown to stay with her family and my own has gotten a hotel here too (they moved to the town we currently live in after we did) so we are all safe and out of the thick of it

however there are tens of thousands of people who are not both in my own town and in the many surrounding it. appalachia will take an extremely long time to recover from this and there are more storms on the way. all i see on social media right now is people asking for shelter because their homes have been destroyed, or people asking for help searching for family members who are missing. hundreds of trees have fallen. hundreds of homes have flooded. roads are literally falling apart. preexisting sinkholes due to shitty pipes are opening up and consuming land. dams are on the verge of bursting and the only way to stop it is to release water so quickly it floods whole towns. all but one of our cell towers are down, so only people with at&t have service and the rest can’t contact anyone. over half the town still doesn’t have power. a major water supply issue occurred and the entire town is on a water boil order with no electricity to boil with. people are trapped in their homes and workplaces or out on the street because they have nowhere to go. law enforcement is blocking off roads but trapping people in the process. people have to be rescued by helicopter. our animal shelter has no water or power and boarding facilities have been flooded. entire villages like chimney rock nc are gone, and entire cities like asheville are cut off from the rest of the state and are completely inaccessible. ALL OF THE ROADS IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA ARE CLOSED. 400+ roads are closed because they are unsafe . that is INSANE!!!

when people say that climate change isn’t real, they don’t know what they’re talking about. climate change and its father capitalism are only going to continue to worsen lives in every way possible. i live in the mountains and our infrastructure is completely unprepared to handle hurricanes and it’s only going to get worse. it’s such a strange and eye-opening experience to live something like this when you think that it could never happen to you because that type of weather shouldn’t reach you in your environment. climate change doesn’t care where you live. it’s real.

western north carolina and the rest of the southeast that has been hit by helene need help. more people need to be talking about this so that the government DOES SOMETHING because the government historically fucking hates appalachia and it still does!!! the major state institution near me took DAYS to respond despite being the only place in town with power and wifi connection because they had to wait for the state to approve their response—they could have allowed thousands of people to evacuate days prior to the hurricane hitting us but they didn’t do anything before or after until it was too late!!! it’s bullshit!!! PLEASE get talking about this because something has to be done. climate change is going to continue happening and our mountains and the people in them are going to suffer immensely. hundreds if not thousands are now homeless. please talk about this look at the footage online of the wreckage and look how quickly our infrastructure crumbled. we need better. the people of appalachia deserve better.

i’ll get back to posting horses soon. but for now this is a lot. my friends are homeless and my family had to get off the mountain or be trapped there without power and water for days. we’re all safe but exhausted. i hope everyone who has been affected by this is staying safe. if you are in western nc, dm me. when i come back, if you’re in my area, im happy to bring supplies. stay safe everyone

I love that representation because I don't think anybody is just one thing, especially in 2024.

the thing about 2x08 is it’s established how much Jamie is struggling….

….before we even see his father ….

But Roy doesn’t know any of that. And yet he acts on the situation without hesitation ❤️‍🩹

I'm just saying, with Biden dropping out, this would be the best time possibly ever to have America's first female president.

Naughty Dog refused Sony's request to put Ellie in the back of the cover of the 1st game because they didn't think it would sell if a female was on it. Here we are after 11 years with a remaster, a sequel, remake over 3 generations and another remaster, with Ellie on the front as she always has been.

"Every time a door closes, know that you grew from that last audition, that last opportunity you had and don't go into that room saying "I need this job I need this job" because they know that you're going in there saying you need the job.

I just learned from any auditions and I had an audition yesterday and I said "how'd it go it go" I'm just excited to be here, I'm excited to be here with you and excited to act because at the end of the day that's why I got into this and I'm so grateful to be sitting here and telling you that story because there are days you're on the floor crying and days that you're with your friends jumping for joy so just stick with it"

For art reasons I've been thinking about what Aloy's hands would realistically look like. In game there isn't too much detail that I can tell, but in reality her hands would be pretty messed up, right?

I mean, she dismantles machines with her bare hands so:

- sharp metal

- burn risk?

She's been taking machines apart her whole life so she's obviously very adept but accidents happen right?

Also she climbs cliffs without climbing gear. If we're going all realistic, we could assume she has actual climbing gear, but in game she boulders large cliffs/mountains without so much as a hand wrap. That has to have led to some pretty serious scrapes.

I dunno haha. If anyone has thoughts on this please chime in : )
