She wasn’t even an isolated incident. There was a lawsuit in Texas by 20 women with *wanted* pregnancies about this.

And it will get worse from now on.

The number of women in Texas who died while pregnant, during labor or soon after childbirth skyrocketed following the GOP’s 2021 ban on abortion care — far outpacing a slower rise in maternal mortality across the nation, a new investigation of federal public health data finds.

In 11 days, Texas is set to execute a man for a crime that never happened

This is Robert Roberson. He has been sitting on Texas' death row for over twenty years after being convicted of murdering his daughter.

The problem? The murder never happened.

Robert was convicted based on the discredited and outdated diagnosis of "shaken baby syndrome", which argued that babies could die from shaking that doesn't leave signs of physical trauma. Robert is also autistic, and his mannerisms lead hospital staff to suspect abuse. There is no evidence that Robert murdered his daughter, Nikki. Killing Robert is not justice.

Please click the link above to sign a petition asking Gov. Greg Abbott to halt Robert's execution. I will also link below to a news article with further information about the case.

Tex is very disappointed in her husband:(

[hello-sweetheart]

Wouldn’t it be so fucking funny if we finally get to meet Steve’s parents in s5 and they’re like…typical suburban parents

After making them mostly monsters in fanfic like guys fffff half the time we make them emotionally abusive and/or neglectful, the other half physically, and then like if you’re on the dark web then 3% of the time they work for the lab and Steve’s like a failed number…

For like, the vibes ya know

…But then we actually meet them and it’s a pudgy office dad with glasses married to an “I can be cool >:(‘ mom.

-“Steve, I thought you said your mom doesn’t trust your dad…looks like they love each other?”

Steve: “???wym, of course they love each other. But obviously she doesn’t trust dad on trips cuz he got lost in a Texas airport once, duh.”

-“ok, what about when you said he’d kill you if he found out you drink?”

Steve: “Yeah??? I’m literally underaged and if he found out I’ve been watering down his $200 liquor he’d be so pissed 🙄”

Like, TO BE FAIR Steve’s dad telling him to get a summer job to figure out the value of money or whatever is pretty typical like baby boy didn’t work in high school 😭 and he’s like pouting and huffing about in scoops

He has a fancy car that his parents trust him to drive and take care of

And him not wanting to work for his dad is valid of him like imagine his dad is trying to be supportive like “if you ever need a job son you can come work with me :)”

and steve would hate that cuz to him it would feel like he didn’t deserve it or work for it, working for his dad feels like it means he failed to make something of himself

And like Steve’s not a bad kid, he’s a teenager who just hates his first job cuz customer service sucks, does stupid kid shit like drink and go to parties, and feels like he missed his chance to makes something of himself that he and his parents can be proud of just because he’s a little behind than the rest of his peers

I relate to that so hard

Like bro said he was having a party at his house and it was just like…4 people he invited with a six pack. No music or anything just chillin on lawn chairs and shooting the shit

Even his home is in warm colors 💀

But we love the angst 🤌 the drama 🤌 and torturing our favorite character

Me when strong women freelancers

Some recent sketchbook pages! I’ve been trying to do more dynamic poses with more muscular body types, so why not draw some freelancers?

I like to headcanon each of them have their own specialty with training and combat. Carolina does MMA, Tex does boxing, and South does body building!

"The Mother of Invention" really was such a perfect name for Project Freelancer's command ship. It's obviously a pun on that old saying about necessity being the mother of invention (in other words, desperate times lead to innovation) and it gives us a clear look at what the Director was thinking when he set up the project.

In his mind, the war was this pressure forcing him to push himself and his soldiers further than they could comfortably stand. He took it upon himself to turn that ship into a high stress environment, and he used that same pressure to shatter the Alpha into more and more fragments as he convinced it that the only way to survive was to evolve. Of course he knew that he was hurting Alpha and Carolina and the rest, but it was necessary if they were going to win.

He decided to push and push until something broke, because in his mind it was all necessary. They needed to win the war, they needed to make sure Allison's sacrifice wasn't in vain, they needed to bring her back.

Now, he was obviously wrong. The war ended without his ideal AI powered super soldiers ever hitting the battlefield, and Allison deserved to stay at rest. But what I find so interesting is that the Freelancers could never complete their training because the Director was too absorbed in his little experiments. Everything he did to them was supposedly out of necessity, and yet he put two AI in Carolina's head just to see what it would do to her. He intentionally made South feel underappreciated while heaping praise and rewards on North just to see how it would affect their sibling bond. He handed Sigma over to Maine while knowing the risks of their dynamic just to see what they'd become. While the Freelancers were in the thick of it I'm sure that all the ways they were being treated felt necessary in light of the circumstances, but one at a time they all came to realize how artificial those circumstances were.

The Director needed that noble purpose, love and heroism, humanity pushed to bright new frontiers by the fires of war. He needed to tell himself it was all invention stemming from necessity because he couldn't admit that he just wanted to play god with vulnerable people.

Texan Miku!!

I absolutely love this trend going around and I desperately wanted to jump on the train because I always miss out on this kind of thing but I got it done this time YAHOO

horror sub-genres • backwoods horror

backwoods horror movies share many similarities with folk horror movies. except backwood horror movies tend to focus more on the socio-political divide between urban and rural ways of living.

Jonny struggles to breathe in high humidity. It’s not serious but if he breaths too deep he ends up coughing. His body is adapted to the hot dry air of new Texas and nothing else.
