Help me decide what animal photos should be added to the free image reference repository next!

This will usually be a perk for Patreon supporters, but to start the website off right I decided to make a public poll. All of these species will be added to the repository eventually, so this poll is for what you want to see right away.

Feast your eyes upon the options:

Black History Month Resource:

Matthew Alexander Henson "A Negro Explorer at the North Pole" (1912)

In recognition of Black History Month (USA), I’ll be sharing a series of links to mostly free resources involving African-American history/literature/art. Hope you enjoy.

Matthew Alexander Henson (1866-1955) was an explorer best known for his participation in the voyages to the Arctic Circle led by Robert Peary. Their team claimed to have reached the geographic North Pole in 1909. In this book, Henson details the process of the 1908-1909 expedition. I've added it to my own "to read" list.

guyss quick question: what do you headcanon mary's ethnic origins to be?? i'm currently writing a marylily-centric fic but since there's no information about mary i want to know what i should make her origins to be. currently my idea for her is to have a single dad and a mom who died by suicide when she was still a baby. she's obivously going to be african-descent but i need specifics. i literally know nothing about african culture & traditions (since i'm indian) but i want to properly incorporate it in the story. i've seen popular headcanons of her being jamaican so should i go with that and research it properly?

Black History Month Resource:

Jacob Lawrence "The Migration Series" (1941)

In recognition of Black History Month (USA), I’ll be sharing a series of links to mostly free resources involving African-American history/literature/art. Hope you enjoy.

Jacob Lawrence was an African-American painter who described his style as "dynamic cubism". His sixty painting series "The Migration Series" depicts scenes from the Great Migration. The Great Migration was the mass migration of approximately six million African-Americans from the Southern United States to the rest of the country, which started in the 1910s. This movement occurred as Black people sought better job opportunities and to escape the racial discrimination of the South. The paintings show the struggles of the migrants in the rural South, as well as the challenges they faced in their new homes. I love this series because it shows regular people making hard decisions about the direction of their lives.

The Migration Series Panel 35: They left the South in great numbers. They arrived in the North in great numbers.

the fact that yankee movies and shows consistently use not-even-light-haired people to play blonds and, like, targaryens, just honestly genuinely gets on my nerves.

like i love orlando bloom as legolas as much as the next person but for fuck's sake you'd have such an easier time if you actually used blonds???? it's not like blonds are cryptids?!?!?!?!?!?!

the zionist idea of absolutely needing to have a "home country" to "return" to has always baffled me as a black person.

Black History

Annie Turnbo Malone was one of America’s first Black millionaires. She started Poro Co., which made hair and beauty products for the Black community. She hired the young Sarah Breedlove as one of her door-to-door sales agents. You probably know Breedlove better as Madam C.J. Walker, who invented a line of African American hair products after suffering from a scalp ailment that resulted in her own hair loss.

Many of us have been asking VP Kamala Harris to sit down with Black owned media and have a interview focused around Black issues. We asked for the interview, Roland Martin got it, so let's support it!
