📈Good news: a fellow researcher and I are going to redo the monsterfucker survey officially so we can submit it to scientific journals
📉Bad news: officiating surveys outside of universities and submitting to journals is expensive and lots of moolah
📈Good news: through selling cute and silly monsterfucker stickers, we may be able to raise the appropriate amount of money so hurray people can soon buy our specially made monster fucker stickers!

That prev post reminded me how much it weirds me tf out when someone only interacts with specific subsets of a minority group and learns their associated niche behavior patterns, and then tries to apply those patterns to every member of that minority that they meet afterwards only to be shocked when it doesn’t work.

Sketching out ideas for new sticker sheets on the off chance if I might get accepted to any artist alleys this summer, and wondering if I wanted to make any mini sticker sheets of the OG Shichibukai and if anybody would even buy those (like stickers of the most popular Shichibukai probs could sell but I don't think Moria or Kuma have huge fanbases, ya feel me?)
And I just kinda mindlessly sketched out Kuma like one of the tiny head bear plushies because. That is literally what he is and
Since it's likely he will never become a sticker. Please look at him.

Y'ALL I'M SO FUCKING UPSET
You know those stickers with a special effect you sometimes get by playing Vanessa's curse? Okay so, I had them and like, I was trying to install some mods to play and.......now I don't have them anymore....like it deleted everything......now I only have the two stickers you can buy from the badge seller in the Vanessa's curse lobby.....
Like, y'all I have the dlc on switch, not on PC, I can't take other stickers. Those were the only one I had. And I liked them too.
Like I'm actually upset /srs what the fuck happened

just had a very intense moment of trans joy bc i just realized like. This week im gonna go to work with short hair wearing my binder and im gonna walk in and my coworkers are gonna say "hey lucien" and i'll put on my trans flag pin and my he/they pin and im gonna introduce myself as lucien and holy shit. man. this is real. i can do things like this. will it always be pleasant? no, i still get misgendered by customers constantly. will I be able to go home like this? no, i'll have to change out of my binder as soon as i get home and hide my pins before i even start my car. but i get to go out and wear them in the first place. people still call me by my name despite knowing my deadname. people call me they instead of she when they don't know my pronouns. i have queer coworkers. I feel safe. the other shoe will drop eventually, but until then, i'm going to bask in what i have

Not dog-related, but I wanted to slide into your ask box to thank you so much for your work during/related to voting and elections - its so important and needed, always (but I feel especially now). AND in the middle of a pandemic too, among everything else! I & so many others appreciate what you and so many other poll workers & election officials do to ensure voting access. Wish there was any other way I could support than a virtual hug <3 (also when did Slash become a whole adult!!)
Aww this is such a sweet message! The pandemic certainly threw things through a loop for us, but overall I feel the fact it has increased the number of elections where we mail absentee ballots to all active registered voters is a huge win for accessibility at the polls (VT is already a state where you can request an absentee for literally any reason, but voter turnout massively increases when ballots are mailed to everybody).
The biggest hurdle election workers and clerks face right now is a certain demographic of people being increasingly toxic and antagonistic to our faces, to the point of being threatening. Like I should not have to think about how i can probably lock myself in my vault if things go in a dangerous direction, yet I do. Also when people of any demographic get upset that double checking or recounts are taking a long time and blame election workers for this or imply there's something nefarious happening because it's taking time. It's really important that things are done correctly and surprise surprise that takes time!
I know it probably sounds like the bare minimum, but the best thing you can do for election workers is be polite, read the directions on your ballot (both mail in and in person) carefully, do not wear political clothing or pins to the polls, do not take a picture of your ballot, get your "I VOTED" sticker (and maybe a 'future voter' one for any kiddos in your life), and do not needlessly stick around the polling place chatting with people (not that we don't want to chat, we're just busy and we're required to be politically neutral at the polls.)
