I've seen a few posts of people from varying us states saying "why is no one talking about x new anti LGBTQ+ bill/law in my state?" and I need you guys to know that unfortunately part of the reason you're not hearing much about your specific state is that it's not just your state. there are currently 321 anti LGBTQ+ bills in the us
you'll notice that several of these states have more than 10. Missouri and Oklahoma have 31 and 34 respectively. and some of these have already passed or are well on their way. living here has become exponentially more terrifying. and even people in states with 0 bills should be worried because they are absolutely not going to stop at state level legislation, the next step is federal law. it's really time for everyone in the us to be vigilant right now. connect with people in your community and start or get involved in movements for change, starting on a very small local level. I know it gets really discouraging looking at maps like this. you're probably not going to be able to help everyone in every state, but you might be able to make a big difference with your local community

=> Pearl & Co: Ponder the portal
-
Gem: I messaged Mumbo and Skizz but no answer yet. I think we should wait-
Gem: Scar!!
Scar: What? No point in letting it go to waste, am I right?
Pearl: Hey whoa whoa whoa
Pearl: Let's hold our horses
Pearl: Why- why do we even need to go to the Nether, anyway?
Scar: Isn't the Enchanting Table there this time, Grian?
Grian: A-yup.
Grian: It's just plopped in a Bastion in there. 'Cause why not.
Scar: Ancient City is a hard act to follow, huh?
Grian: Eh, it works as long as nobody gets access to enchantments too early.
Gem: You don't say! Then maybe WE shouldn't be going there so soon, huh Grian?
Grian: Don't tell me that GeminiSlay is scared of some little piggies!
Grian: I fully expect you to carry, by the by.
Gem: UGH.
Pearl: Come on guys, let's at least wait for Skizz and Mumbo to come back!
Scar: Nooo, you never know who's trying to beat us to it. Those rapscallions could be closing in on the magic table as we speak!
Pearl: :(

i love the thought of logan nodding off and laying his head on wade’s shoulder
and wade tries to take picture of him every time but he’s too scared that if he moves he’ll wake the sleeping kitty, so he just kinda sits there for hours (while gently petting logan’s head).
along with that, i like to think logan falls asleep in so many random places in the apartment, and wade takes a picture whenever he finds him like that…just cuz he loves seeing his man so peaceful.
he draws little cat ears on the pics and has a dedicated album for them (he has about 1000+)

Man I Missed This | Sketchbook Session
Grab a cuppa and get comfy, ‘cause it’s time for a (very long overdue) Sketchbook Session! ☕✏️ (*but fair warning, this one does touch on a bit of a heavy topic towards the tail end)
Before I dive into working on some of the other more involved videos on my to-do list, I wanted to make a bit more of a relaxed lil’ update video to let y’all know why I’ve not been able to upload for a hot minute! 😅
There’s a fair bit of other stuff still ongoing in my offline life atm, even beyond what I was able to cover in this video – but all in all, even though 2024 has been a helluva stressful time so far, I’m really hoping n’ manifesting that this upload can mark the start of much less chaotic times ahead 💖🤞
