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

My affirmation for this week. I’m trying to lean into radical acceptance, both of myself and others. One of the hardest things for me to learn has been that I am loveable just as I am. High control religion called me worthless unless I was meeting someone’s standards. I’m trying to take back that control by defining my own standards and recreating my mind/heart/soul as a soft place for me to land.

isn't it weird how if you get up at 7 or 8, do your work all day, then have free time and go to bed at 11 that's absolutely fine

but if i said i get up at 10, do fun stuff in the morning then work in the evening and go to bed late, i could be called lazy, nevermind that i'm getting just as much or MORE work done as i would in a traditional work day

Starting art fight with a portrait of @where-does-the-heart-lie ‘s Mueta :) jellyfish guy……. He’s so cool

[starflungwaddledee]

maybe a little bit generic of me, but i adore the dream land four!

magolor and bandee are tied for tippy top favourite, but this whole group just mean everything to me and i am extremely normal about them. after these guys it's probably a very close galacta knight and marx!

king dedede was actually my first ever played exposure to the franchise (through smash multiplayer at a party where i picked him due to Bird) and marx was my first 'character i recognised + played + was obsessed with outside the mains' in star allies so i still consider him my original Little Freak (affectionate)

ask answer for @trainerbob23!

“it’s just a warmup sketch,” i say to myself. “i’m just gonna warm up on shading and coloring. i’m just warming up on anatomy.” my spine crackles from sitting in shrimp stance for 2 hours. “just to warm up.”

Eugh, it's raining blood. What a disgusting start to the day...

It makes the colony look very eerie. And gross.

Kwahu!! Bringing up something as traumatic as eating without a table is NOT a good way to help people feel better!!

Ibter keeps fainting because she's terrified of mechanoids. We tried to get her to go on a caravan trip to one of our outposts, but she literally couldn't finish forming a caravan before she saw another mechanoid and passed out. We gave up after two attempts and crammed her into a transport pod. Goodbye, Ibter; hopefully, the outpost suits you better than here.

Randy Random has decided that he's going to make the RimWorld game mimic my irl Australian summer experience and send a heatwave to make life difficult for the Jones boys and co.

It's been a consistent 39℃ throughout the night for me lately, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to actually melt any day now...

... Although, I haven't resorted to taking an ice bath yet, so maybe it's not thaaat bad. I'm glad Jut has found his own special way of beating the heat, though. Good for him.

what it feels like thinking about all the tragedy in arcane, and then remembering the lesbians

[coolnonsenseworld]

I wanted to say that outside of semantics and divisions - I am simply happy to find communities that welcome with kindness - that welcome you by a good heart and not the ability to conform. I am happy for the opportunity to be surrounded by people who care. It's a funny world we live in - making the same mistakes over and over, multiplying the same suffering by billions. I don't think I hope for an utopia anymore, I don't think such a thing exists - but you can't call me hopeless either. And that's what matters.

As a side note - this piece is set in DanceAU, which might be better known to Patrons so far, but still it was the best and most fitting option for this occasion..... also there are 12 DanceAU pieces incoming, because I might be making another calendar so. get familiar with these mutts

Schism Arc Thoughts (mostly of Karma and Nakamura)

these are mostly just random thoughts I had while looking through the manga cause I wanted screenshots of karma💀💀

I think it was obv from the start that despite it being divided to nagisa's team and karma's team, nagisa never led his team, it was isogai who did,, so the entire arc mostly focused on karma's thoughts bcs he was the one thinking everything through while nagisa worked at his own accord and relying on isogai to take charge of the others,, he's basically just a support for them if you really think about it, also bcs this is after the finals, I like how we get to see karma pointing out strengths and weaknesses of his classmates, shows how attentive he is to everyone around him, even small details from hazama's mobility, differences between chiba and hayami's sniping skills and mimura's eye for detail is smth the main series never really pointed out explicitly UNTIL he says it in his monologues

also nakamura talk but love how bestie they are in this arc, like karma's always busy watching the others but nakamura had him figured out all along,, he knew she was observant so he didn't question it, but that also explains why he placed her as the second in command, they mirror each other really well

A collection of figure/acting studies featuring some suit actors. Not gonna pretend I watch out of professional interest aaahaha but my brain always goes into study mode when they appear!

[xxplastic-cubexx]

what is your favorite thing about charles and your favorite thing about erik? separately, as in what you like most about their characters :]

a devious question this one is, my friend!!! it's hard enough for me to explain my thoughts cohesively, but having to pick ONE thing i particularly love is difficult. with characters like charles and erik, theres been so much done with their characters over the decades and so they have so many components to them that make them so interesting and fun to observe. BUT I TRY FOR YOU TODAY. under the cut i kinda ramble and the size of this text box makin me anxious

i think if i were to be simple and broad, what i enjoy most about charles is his determination to help others, even if he isn't really thanked and/or if people don't even like him. ofc, this isn't to say he hasn't done wrong- to be honest, the fact he does wrong/questionable things at times is another aspect of him i really enjoy, maybe because- broadly speaking- he's meant to be altruistic (intent vs outcome and all that). i don't know if that's super exciting to most people, but it is for me

as for erik, my reason for liking him is easier to explain tbh. To Be Simple And Broad, his progression from villain to antihero over the decades has been fun to observe (as much as i have so far anyhow) and analyze. i think to be a bit more specific, him using his rage and pain as justifications for his villainous actions is definitely what compels me the most: hurt people hurt and the sort, an idea i've always found interesting (something something vicious cycles and the like). yet now, he recognizes this wasn't really. A Just Thing To Do and is beginning to change that, which i enjoy
