today i honor eileen, who died an hour ago. she was a simple woman with simple tastes: good tomato sauce, not very good beer (the lady drank rolling rocks, but hey), homemade bread. she had ten children, nine of whom she gave birth to, and still liked babies enough to open an unofficial daycare at her home in the seventies. she sewed decently, baked wonderfully (a lot of her baked goods were slightly overdone thanks to a very old oven, but her piecrust is still the best recipe i've ever used. her soda bread was a bit sweeter than average, and now i don't like any other soda bread but her sugary, curranty loaf with a thick swipe of butter. she sang with a rich, warbly vibrato that i sometimes hear in my own voice when i'm excited enough. she played piano, not well, but all her life, more or less until she couldn't anymore. fur elise was her favorite piece to break out and show off. as long as i can remember, there was a puzzle on the vinyl tablecloth in the sunroom at her house. there probably is right now, 300-piece to accommodate for her increasing dementia, which would no longer allow her to do more complex ones. she had so many children and grandchildren that she rotated their pictures out on the top of the piano, always by birthday month. this month there would be my eldest aunt, my grandfather, and my brother. she was one of the scattered living diaspora of a tiny town in abruzzo - pacentro, population one thousand, which she visited once in the early oughts. my father used the photos she took there to paint a landscape of her family's hometown, which hung in her living room with the dark green couches and the long floral curtains as long as i can remember. when she still could, she and my grandfather would make the trip to our house in the height of summer, where pappy would pick grapes from our arbor or take home elderberries or the largest and woodiest of our green beans (he likes them that way - tough and starchy). she would nap on the couch (a ritual she called Resting Her Eyes) and then read to us: The Sleeping Giant, Tomie DePaola, anything she'd bought for us at some previous time. she read widely. towards the end, when what she could do was limited, she read pretty much all day long. it didn't matter what. i'm forgetting a million things about her even now. i've missed her for years, as she disappeared by pieces. but i loved her, and by god, i know she loved well.
#that's her with my mom about two years ago#it's not a very good picture of the painting#but i took it a long time ago and i wasnt really thinking about it#that dried flower arrangement has also been below it for as long as i can remember lol#when i get the chance i think i'll put together a little booklet of her staple recipes#for the family. but it might be nice to post it here too. if there's anything my grandma would appreciate#it's people making her food#another cool thing about eileen carney is of course the fact that she outlived the queen of england by a cool six months

theyre holding hands……(and being shy about it)
hootsie and gricko doodles (mostly hootsie)
both requested by @nicohasperished !
#i ignored the ‘gators cant blush’ thing for the previous request#but i didnt ignore it this time (for the people who like it that way <3)#ngl really proud of how the gideons and kremys hands turned out#honestly i want to make a little ‘how i draw the krew’ thing with things like hands#something about gideons hands being square-ish and kremys being sharp and triangular is so satisfying to me#coalecroux#kremy lecroux#gideon coal#kremy x gideon#i looovee hootsie sm#glad i finally got around to drawing her!!#gricko being a dad >>>#not to get deep or anything#but i think gricko tries to be as present for and as invested in hootsie as humanly (goblinly?) possible because of his dad#who was completely absent to the point where he didn’t even know his name or face or even existence#and since his mom had to work a lot to make ends meet and put food on the table#he knows what it feels like to be a little kid and feel isolated or neglected#of course he had his mom and uncle glorbo but i doubt they were there for him during the majority of his childhood#he doesnt want hootsie to grow up like that#them <3#gricko grimgrin#hootsie grimgrin#once upon a witchlight#legends of avantris#my art#ouaw fanart#ouaw

My piece for BOAR ZINE🥹
Ganyu and Paimon are about to make something delicious!
#I wanted this illustration to show people in process of making something... because its important to show fat people living their lives#my second thought about illustration was ED therapy..?#in canon ganyu has a tense relationships with food due to her previous experiences... i'm so sorry for her..#paimon on contrary is very positive about food and flavours#making a dinner together can be a healing process i think? you get to perceive food as something you made and also it was a joint effort#i think such companion as paimon is a good example for ganyu that food is meant to be enjoyable.... they need to be buddies#i have more thoughts about this piece by im so sleeepy#genshin impact#ganyu#paimon#my art#fat art#fat positivity#fat paimon#fat ganyu#zine

y'all I started playing a miku game for the 3DS and now I'm legally obligated to take back every negative thing I've said about the 3DS
#m#video games#vocaloid#the mvs are super cute and you can give miku food and clothes and change her room and if you say miku outloud she waves her tiny hand#and you can buy figurines and posters and listen to vocaloid songs and play a game with miku and make your own card to show to people#yes the nintendo 64 has some of the most iconic games in gaming history but can it use ar to have miku walk around your desk? exactly

Zionists/Symathizers who say "Palestinians should be taken by Egypt/Lebanon/Jordan and just live there forever" have no idea what a refugee camp is like.
#you all sit at the comfort of your air conditioned homes#meanwhile people in refugee camps struggle to find their next meal#my family member told me about how she didn't have running water for days#she didn't have food except for bread thyme and olive oil for days#how the concrete houses they slept in were so cold in the winter#how severely overcrowded they are#how terrible the healthcare is#you lot have no idea what that does to a person growing up#my family member can't remember most of her childhood because of that shit#fuck off#you will never know their pain and yet you still make decisions on their fate#their lives are ruined#fuck you#what are they supposed to do now mother fuckers

I'm curious, in general do we prefer Poison Ivy with Green Skin or Nah?
oh reblog for more responses please lol
#poison ivy#poison ivy dc#dc polls#tumblr polls#polls#dc poison ivy#dc#dc comics#also I find it more interesting when Poison Ivy is very biologically plant#I think I prefer her with green skin I think partially because I like her more plant than human#but also because design-wise I love her red hair as the pop of color contrasting the green#a white ivy can be good tho to break up the green and making the design more visually clear#also I like when she is very plant and like needs sunlight and water and dirt not food lol#(but also she should still have human emotions)#I love Poison Ivy#I love love Ivy#Oh and I really don't like when she's a ginger (orange hair) her hair needs to be bright red#to me her core character traits are 1. her overwhelming and intense love for plants and the environment#2. her care for people (usually restricted to Harley but never underestimate Ivy's motherly instincts)#this trait is usually where the conflict with her character lays#3. her sex appeal this was originally her only trait I'm a gay man so I have less to say about it but I do love her femininity and slay lol#4. probably least important her evilness which is best when it's motivated by one of her other traits I like w#if its not clear I love Poison Ivy and I just put an entire other post in the tags lol#I like when she has cool lesbian aunt vibes#but I also like when she has unhinged plant lady vibes#pamela isley

At this point and up until the elections are over and the results are announced
I think that we should just call a spade a spade.
Anyone and everyone who is neigh-saying Kamala?
They're a Trump supporter.
Anyone and everyone who is a centrist, a "let's see both sides of things right now" type of person?
Trump supporter.
Anyone calling for people to "vote third party" right now?
Trump supporters.
Anyone calling for people to "just not vote" ?
Those are Trump supporters.
Because there are two really hard to swallow facts you need to hear:
#1.) This is, without a doubt, going to be the most important and instrumental election in American history.
#2.) Like it or not, the American Political System is a two party race. It wasn't supposed to be, sure.
But for right now it is. There's no ifs and or buts about it. The system is set up so that a third party candidate cannot win.
Every single vote that isn't counted for Kamala is a vote for Trump.
I don't care how leftist, or how progressive you think you are, if you're not willing to vote for Kamala then you're a Trump supporter.
If you are not loudly rallying behind and supporting Kamala, who is very likely our one and only chance of hope and progress, then you should either be quiet about it or else you are a Trump supporter.
If you're not willing to be an active participant in our society with how it works right now, then sit down and shut up and don't complain about anything.
If you think that they’re both equally bad then you must be privileged enough to feel safe in Trump’s America.
It’s a privilege for you to even consider voting third party or to consider throwing your vote away and not using it. It’s entitlement.
You feel safe saying that they’re the same.
But for us poor people, us queer and trans people, us disabled people, and for people of colour, for Palestinians and Ukrainians, and so so many more people, Trump’s America would not be safe.
Kamala could be our only chance at preserving our democracy and if you're not supporting her just for the sake of your own selfish performative white knighting about your "morals" trying to make yourself look good?
Then the only person you're benefiting is Trump.
So you're a Trump supporter.
If being called that doesn't feel good to you then maybe analyse why that is.
If being called a Trump supporter makes you upset, stop doing things that support him.
#I'm just tired of literal psyops trying to make complacency seem like the moral highground#stop trying to game the system and not play by the rules when the prize for everyone playing is food for the starving#and the penalty is everyone being lit on fire#you don’t have to sing Kamala’s praises if you don’t want to#but if you try to bring up the issues with her your song will just be a siren call to Trump supporters#we will have time for nuance later#no one is fucking perfect#and Trump wants a fucking dictatorship#kamala harris#kamala 2024#us politics#politics#political#we should be calling people trump supporters like we call people spouting terf rhetoric terfs

i hate the fact the term karen went from describing a bitchy entitled customer to basically the modern day equivalent of calling a woman a harpy (misogynistic as fuck) and that people use the term on people out in public who are at the end of their rope emotionally from stress or a shitty day. I get it just because your having a rough time doesn't mean you get to be a dick but sometimes I think people are seriously lacking in empathy and I get it a lot shit the customer might be dealing with isn't your responsibility but like if a customer is struggling with something simple maybe don't be a dick? Just a thought.
#I'm so done with people calling customers with legitimate complaints/concerns Karen#If you messed up someone's order and they ask for a new one then fix it#What if they're on special diet for health reasons#What if they're practicing lent or are Muslim and you give them food that they can't have#What if the customer that's struggling with a simple self checkout has autism or something#People shouldn't have to give out these reasons unless they want to#Also corporations love to make customers out to be idiots and karens when they've seriously fucked up#Like that lady who got McDonald's coffee on her crotch suffered 3rd degree burns and was portrayed as an idiot/greedy#Don't be like that#ableism#misogny#Karen#I'm not kidding when I say it's becoming the modern day equivalent of calling a woman a harpy#Someone breaking down crying and freaking out in public can be annoying but maybe don't record them#Idk as someone with autism if someone recorded me having a meltdown or mocked me I'd be pissed#Even if they aren't mentally unwell no one deserves to bullied when they're at their own limit#Watch somebody call me a Karen for this#Like fight back against dickheads throwing temper tantrums but also don't be a bully#when you hear something about a Karen try and see if they are actually being a Karen or if they're just being put in a bad light#Like did they hit record after a bunch of harassment#cause thats happened

Sweet idea: Because of her closer connection with animals, Sofia stopped eating meat. She'd push it to the other side of her plate, only eating the veggies and non-meat parts of her meal. Some people thought she was just being fussy. But Baileywick made sure her needs were met. He had her meat be replaced with another form of protein, like different beans and vegetables, he also told her it was no issue. He just wanted her to be taken care of, not leaving half of her meal uneaten and staying half full.
#Baileywick's just so sweet#He'd probably scold people for saying she was just fussy#And he'd make sure non of her food touched meat even though she doesn't mind that#This is probably before her amulet's powers were revealed#sofia the first#sofia the fandom#stf#princess sofia#sofia balthazar#baileywick sofia the first#Baileywick

Vengv'la is a Vulcan Engineer! [Patreon | Commissions]
#vulcan oc#vengv'la#her family owns a bar that also serves food and she and all her siblings worked there as soon as they could walk#beas ocs#bea art tag#her concept is: Vulcan version of a hillbilly <- said with love#life is diverse and beautiful#she's from a part of Vulcan that's regularly looked down on maligned and feels that her being in Starfleet only makes people#more likely to make fun of/look down on where she's from. Like she 'made it out' or 'isn't like the others'#she feels this from both Vulcans [who perceive her as 'a hillbilly'] and Humans [who perceive her as 'less vulcany']#so she's having a bit of trouble finding her place and feeling comfortable#since she and her family have very strong bonds and she already feels a bit like she's abandoned them and now she might have done that#just to be somewhere where she doesn't fit in/isn't respected#she brushed her hair in the second picture <3#star trek oc
