#but like... why not also vote?

Like here's the thing, I'm never gonna tell you how to vote
Two reasons, one is it's not really my business other than maybe some general advice (like I think voting for cruel people is a bad idea), but two and kinda more importantly is you aren't gonna listen unless you already agree and I'll probably just piss you off and if anything vote to spite me
Nah, better to leave you to make your own choices
But you'll forgive me for continuing to try to nudge people to vote. In part, it's cause I see people pushing not voting and it's like... to me that feels like an attempt to get people to drop out so they can have a bigger sway, it doesn't feel good faith
But also it's just like... shit's fucking bad everywhere right now, and I really don't have a whole lotta faith in voting but we might as well exhaust the options we have just in case
And like... when I say I don't have a lot of faith, if you pull back a bit what I really mean is I don't have faith in countries as a whole to do stuff like voting in primaries and not just going for whoever they think'll win... like... there's no downside to voting for who you like in a primary, unless there's another dark horse candidate you think has a better chance of unseating whatever asshole you don't want... but like never bother voting for the person that's probably gonna win unless you actually want them
So that's why I say I specifically have little faith in primaries even more than other elections
Anyway though... you might as well get to vote on amendments and shit, and if you're doing that you might as well pick whoever makes you want to blow your brains out the least (dear god they're coming up and even gone in some place but vote in the primaries to maybe get at least one good candidate on some ballot somewhere)
But yeah, not gonna ever tell you how to vote other than broadstrokes, but I will just keep saying I think it's good to vote
I also very much will keep suggesting you do mail in voting if you can, and that one's legit me just looking out for you, cause going places and standing in line sucks a lot more than checking the mail, filling something out at home, and dropping it off
#as always; system's fucking broken and whatever you're trying to do to fix it probably helps more than voting#but like... why not also vote?#and if you get a mail in ballot you don't even have to waste your day#so forgive me if I keep bring it up but... you know; pisses me off the people saying not to vote#can't help but feel like they have an agenda and their agenda isn't great for any of us#(they here being broadstrokes; certainly there's disenfranchised individuals expressing skepticism)#(but I think there's a large amount of purposeful political agitation trying to pretend that's what it is and trying to sow that)#and you know... I just want something to get a little bit better sometimes#and I'm still a schmuck and I'm slow so I'm not at the point where I'm trying to work in my community yet#and there's also only 100ish people here; and even if I invite outsiders to learn shit like carving from me#I only touch so many people's lives#where as... we need massive systemic change of shit like getting the lead pipes replaced so we don't have more Flint's#so like... maybe if enough of us in different places vote for people who are pro replacing lead pipes; maybe stuff happens; you know?#so forgive me if I keep encouraging it#not gonna be a dick if you don't or can't; like for one thing part of why I keep pushing mail in voting#is I know that I wouldn't vote if I didn't have that#(couldn't at this point; 50 fucking miles; but even when I could... it's a lot of energy)#I'm trying to help you make it as easy on yourself as possible#also... now this is an ask of me; but I will do it if you really need it#if you need help figuring out how to register to vote; I will do what I can to help; which will be searching online#helping you find numbers and stuff and who to talk to; but I will do what I can if you ask#I'm sure it gets annoy that I keep beating on this but... forgive me; at least I don't get sanctimonious with it; like is that fair to say?#I'm just asking cause there's a lot of shit I'm not happy with; and I'm not saying it'll fix it#but it's something to do and... and like in the US specifically just look at our morons in congress#can't do a god damn thing#and johnson won't even do his fucking job and put any bills to the floor unless he knows they DOA and he likes them#selfish asshole who can't do his damn job#total fucking nobody with no experience#didn't like McCarthy; didn't respect him; but at least he did his job as speaker#put shit to the floor for an up or down vote; that's all you gotta do

[ID: a drawing of pye from outer wilds, standing with her writing staff. she's wearing an orange nomai space suit without the helmet, and she has a light brown face with curly darker brown fur. end ID]
figuring out how i want to draw the nomai, so here's a pye since i am obsessed with her !!!
#outer wilds#pye#she was one of the easiest to start recognizing across text because she is involved in so many different things#but then i saw the scroll where she was calculating trajectories to the sun station and i Was in love immediately#and i love that the sun station was designed (by the game artists not by pye) to look more weapon-like than anything else the nomai built#as a way to show how it goes against their nature to do something so destructive and high risk#and since pye is the one kind of leading that and being so vocally For it it implies that she is also acting against nomai nature#but i dont think thats necessarily true!! a majority of the nomai agreed or else the idea would have been voted down#(even tho it did spark arguments)#and the oldest nomai recording we have access to is from escall making a split second decision to warp to an unknown place#just to follow a signal the group was curious about and it put them in danger!!! that killed people!!!#like i know its more about the potential damage to the solar system and the life there but#throwing caution to the wind for scientific discovery is very much nomai nature From What I Saw !!!#not that i am saying the game creators are wrong lmao but i mean like. i think it is against their nature AND so very exactly their nature#at the same time and thats why there Was so much debate about it#and i think pye is the embodiment of trying Everything Possible (and impossible) to find answers and learn#AND SHE IS SEXY FOR IT#ANYWAYS. clears throat#blow up that sun girl hashtag women in stem

once again i am asking tumblr to hold public polls for users to vote on potential changes. imagine if you were the 'respect our users opinion website'. like that could be us but apparently not.

I wanted to share the tattoo I did yesterday!!
I really enjoyed the process🥹🫶 My “normal” art is generally a lot more detailed and time-consuming than these fanarts…something I genuinely LOVE is just spending lots of time focusing on the small details & forgetting everything else.
I’m overall really happy with how this turned out, I’ve been practicing A LOT😳 but even so, pork skin isn’t the same as a living, breathing human. I think this design might have been a BIT too complicated to be my first one but oh well…I learned a lot and pushing myself off the deep end is always how I learn best😆😆😤🙏

one thing running @riordanverse-ship-polls has gotten me thinking about is that the fandom should bring back a lot of old ships that got dropped. Just to mix things up and add some more variety into the fandom again. The community used to have a lot of really interesting and really varied ships but now most of the stuff you see is canon and maybe a couple of leftover things from that time or some rarepairs and that's it (and a lot of weird aggression towards people who diverge from canon ships at all). Half the major characters don't even have prominent alternative ships to canon these days. Like, did you know Hazel/Piper used to be a decently popular ship? When was the last time you saw Hazel/Piper stuff? Probably never if you're a newer fan.
anyways we could really stand to have more variety. together we can bring back variety. the fandom needs to get weirder again. like cmon we've got some new characters let's thing of some new combos.

"What if Kotoko got worse?" Well, what if she got better? What if she could learn to see the humanity in others and actually protect people without hurting others? What if instead of committing herself so much to her ideals of justice that she doesn't know who she is without them, she allowed herself to be a person that doesn't have to constantly be saving people in order to be worth something? What if Kotoko could make friends with the other prisoners instead of looking down on them and pushing them away at every turn? What if she went back to law school and stopped being a vigilante?
What if Kotoko could get better?
