Hey Check Please family,
I was actually tickled to death, when postcards to swing states sent me a packet of postcards to send to Georgia. And I think of our boy Eric Bittle every so often as I'm writing these things!
I would love to have a recommendation for a fic to read as a reward for finishing doing another batch of postcards I have written 100 so far and I have 200 total to go.
Have you written, or do you recommend, a story set in Georgia or with Eric's parents as an important part of the story, in which his parents are accepting, loving, and willing to change their mind if they had trouble with him being gay in the first place?
This is actually a lot of work. And I have to mail out for October 24th. I'm going to actually go get acetaminophen and an ice pack for my hand pause for a little while cuz my arms are starting to hurt

There's something so awful about being absolutely insane about your own character. *Especially* when that character is being used in a ttrpg so you don't even have full and complete control of the story, nor can you easily write it out and publish it for other people.
Malan just had the second worst day of their life and it was devastating and only 7 people were there to witness it
We won't be able to play again till August, which means I get to just sit here, holding my precious baby boi in my hands, and just *thinking*

Iron Man (1968) #50
#oh I always love the dramatics of Tony slowly crawling to an electrical outlet as he’s dying#and then the fact that he’s dealing with this all alone#and is purposefully keeping the severity of his issues a secret#outside of the specific context of when he uses them to say he can’t possibly be Iron Man#which he articulates here as a ‘matter of pride’#and that he wants to deal with his issues ‘unhindered- or unaided- by anyone else!’#interesting that he would put ‘unhindered’ first#he’s talked before about the fear of becoming a dependent and bedridden person#and the specific fear that he would become that by force if people learned the severity of his heart issues#and then stopped him from living his life the way he wanted to#which would be to stop him from doing the dangerous thing that repeatedly puts his life in danger as it did here of being a superhero#and he’s more recently talked about his fear of being pitied#it seems that it really is on the forefront of his mind all of the negative consequences he expects from opening up to people#and asking for help#rather than anything positive that might come of it#I do think he has a right to live his life the way he wants but also I think the way he wants is influenced by his fears#though I can’t really speak to how much those fears are unwarranted#because by not opening up Tony is keeping us from seeing how people would actually react#marvel#tony stark#edwin jarvis#my posts#comic panels

filipina miku!! my mom helped me with her outfit ^_^
#THIS TOOK ME FOREVER RAAHHHH#i had help from my mom with stuff like the parts of the traje de mestiza which is the outfit shes wearing#this trend looks so much fun and i wanted to join in.. im first gen canadian though so ive never been to the philippines and only#know thru stories of my parents growing up. im proud of my heritage but there are some things i didnt grow up with that#make me feel disconnected from my culture. so it was nice to talk to my mom abt it and ask for her help with this :3#the pleated tapis is meant to resemble her skirt.. i had no way of adding her stockings but i noticed the piano key design#so i used that for the saya. the bandana is meant to resemble her hairties and shes wearing bakya wooden slippers with embroidery#i kinda wanted to add the panuelo to resemble her tie as a finishing touch but i forgor ;w; just imagine it i guess#my mom really likes this. shes a little confused abt the blue hair and i had to explain her hair is like that but she thinks shes pretty#originally i wanted her holding the woven pamaypay and fanning herself because ITS HOT ITS 25 FUCKING DEGREES TODAY#but i couldnt get the pose right so i settled for this. i wanna draw her and brazilian miku high fiving ill do that tmrw#my art#myart#hatsune miku#miku worldwide#philippines#vocaloid#miku

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
#I was forced to get over my hatred of making phone calls bc of this#one 15 minute phone call is the equivalent of 5 back and forth emails#also if you don't know exactly what you need help with you can just ask and you can get real help#instead of just desperately clawing at faqs on websites#it's infuriating that it works so well#ramblings

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU
***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***
Blacked out part is my name.
I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too
AND
I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.
And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.
A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am
#us politics#donald trump#election 2024#aclu#a promise to myself#how is this comforting you May ask#bc we are not fighting alone or uninformed#we have good and strong groups in our corners defending what we believe in#it’s not over yet#we have to try and pushback#added Alt image descriptions since this is leaving containment#happy to see many engaging with this to either donate time or money or both#really warms the cold heart of mine#wow this broke containment#overall it’s been pretty nice seeing people engaging with it ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work#they did the travel ban right at the beginning of the previous presidency too#also every major civil battle in the last century#brown V board of education- the one that desegregated schools#loving V Virginia- legalized interracial marriage#roe V wade- legalized abortion#United States V Nixon- watergate scandal WHICH LIMITED US PRESIDENTAL POWER#Edwards v. Aguillard- helped allow schools to teach evolution#Planned Parenthood v. Casey- another abortion case#ACLU v. NSA- to stop the NSA spying on wikipedia users#Ingersoll v. Arlene's Flowers- fought to stop LGBTQ discrimination from businesses#Obergefell v. Hodges- case that legalized gay marriage#literally WAY MORE GUYS#so don’t fall into dispair! these are literally one of the good ones!

being someone who's passionate about their interests when you're a horror fan really is a special layer of hell because every interaction you have with another person where the conversation turns to your hobbies and personal entertainments is a trial where if you show too much unrepentant glee at getting an opportunity to talk about your preferred subject you get to watch them mentally move you onto their list of untrustworthy individuals to avoid in the future in real time
#🐉#yesterday at work my new coworker asked me about my writing (the original stuff as well as fanfic lol) and when i told her it was mostly#horror flavoured she barely restrained herself from making a disgusted face. HELP lol!

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.
#the person who's re-emailed me asking for help with something: yes I should get back to you. yes I will get back to you#but in the meantime I will look at the email like 'I am busy right now! I have deadlines! do not bother me about this unrelated thing!'#and like in 15 minutes when I'm ready to be an adult again I'll get back to them

#batman#bruce wayne#brucellosis wayne#the man that you are#he is so ready to hang up that cape#people who say that batman cannot exist without being batman has forgotten smth#batman exists for as long as crime exists#but this man is a straight up father and he wants to sleep and he wants to hang out with his friends and he wants to play with his dog#his world is no longer that small dark place the batman was born from#justice exists as long as there is right and wrong#batman will never retire#but he prays every night that when he goes out this time harvey dent will be a lawyer again and harley will be married and happy#that joker won’t show up and mr freeze will ask him for help in saving his wife and poison ivy will partner with the WE botany department#let me help you please let me help you#and if you won’t accept my help today don’t worry i’ll be back tomorrow#dc#brucie wayne#this is a message you YOU that no matter how bad you think you are batman will never give up on you
