day one of talking about women;

first up is Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke

if you don’t know who she is

She is the youngest MP in New Zealand and represents Te Pāti Māori in the Parliament.

She gained national attention while speaking against a horrible bill

Her latest haka was heard all over and is not her first haka in parliament

Having so much passion on behalf of your people is what everyone should aspire to do



love Māori woman

Love Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke

Here she is, winner of the BLU Jack poll, Maya!

I don’t have much going for her actual BLU team, but basically, she was in need to find a job with a real good pay, saw the news clipping for the mercenary job and took the chance.

The glove you see her wear would be another type of the Lamprey Maw, called the Bat Claw. However, the claw was actually hand-made by her! Maya majored in engineering and the job allowed her to pick it up again.

More drawings!

Jack is really excited to have another person in his class :)

a couple years ago i dreamt that i met god and they were actually a butch lesbian couple with grey hair and crinkly eyes and broad warm hands amd they lived in another dimension together in a large midcentury style house with a lot of natural(?) light and it was filled with trinkets theyd picked up on various trips to earth over the millennia. they welcomed me like we were old friends and i stood in their lounge watching the world turn in space through a big glass window in the floor while they made me tea and we talked about my future. it felt very real and normal and when i woke up my first thought was "holy fuck" and my second thought was "if i made a post about this nobody would believe i really dreamt all that theyd think i was lying oppa homeless style". but jokes on the nonbelievers because i have a disease that makes all my dreams super vivid and often realistic and coherent and i dream about meeting a sort of god all the time. this is genuinely very normal for me. anyway i thought i should post about god being an old butch lesbian couple who are besotted with each other and live in a cool house because that seems like something all you lesbians would like.
