To all characters that live in my head rent free.

Start paying the fucking rent.

Today in 🍂✨October surprises✨🍂

• Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and Secretary of Labor Julie Su quietly assisted in winning labor rights for dockworkers, ending a strike that could have had catastrophic economic consequences. (10-4-24)

• In Springfield, Ohio, where Haitian migrants have been blamed for the disappearance of local animals with Trump claiming “‘migrants are walking off’ with geese in the town” and “they’re eating the dogs” - a lie also promoted by JD Vance, Ohio’s own sitting Senator, with no evidence - it turns out that the missing geese were actually the victims of a 64-year-old white man who was hunting illegally. (10-3-24)

• A Trump-appointed federal judge blocked Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan again after another judge reinstated it earlier this week. (10-3-24)

• Republicans and crazy Facebook uncles everywhere have spent this week spreading disinformation about the FEMA response to Hurricane Helene, including AI photos of Trump standing in floodwater and wild claims that Biden is sending money to undocumented immigrants. In reality, the Biden-Harris administration has provided substantial emergency assistance and both Biden and Harris have visited the region. Meanwhile, it turns out that Trump was the one who redirected money from disaster relief to send to ICE during his presidency. Shocker. (10-4-24)

• Seriously, though, Trump is not who you want to call in an emergency. Before allowing disaster relief to reach victims of wildfires in California, then-president Trump forced aides to show him an electoral map to see if he had voters there. He evidently intended to withhold the aid if he found out it was going to mostly Democratic voters. This would be a career-ending scandal in any other political era but alas, we are living in this one. (10-3-24)

• Finally, far-right extremist and Oklahoma superintendent of schools Ryan Walters intends to put Bibles in public schools, which is already disturbing, but in a stunning display of corruption, the only ones that meet his specifications are the so-called “Trump Bibles” that include the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. They go for $60 apiece and Trump gets fees from each one. (10-4-24)

No, wait, I’m going to say that one again:

In Oklahoma, taxpayers’ money will be used to put Trump Bibles in public schools. Their money will go directly to Trump. Not a joke!!! Not an exaggeration!!!

…Surely the voters who are still undecided are lying, right?? Right?!

30 days until Election Day.

Go to vote.org for a sample ballot, early voting dates, and more. Seriously, we have to win.

Netflix robbed us of seeing Cameron and Ruby act out the aching, mortifying scene of Lucy's reunion with Lockwood at her Studio Apartment of Depression and I'll never forgive them for it.

I like my men stupid.

Queer Joy? No. Time to talk about Queer Fear.

conservatives saying that the queer community is indoctrinating kids are so fucking blind. Back when I was a kid I was worried constantly. Like what if some gunman sees this pride sticker on my water bottle and kills me? What if a terf outs me against my will? What if my transphobic grandma takes me to church and sits me down for a long republican conversation? What if I have an anxiety attack and hurt myself? (I was 12. I was FUCKING TWELVE. This was my childhood.)

I’m done with this fucking shit. Queer people are not groomers, pedophiles, or murderers. I feel safer with a queer person on tumblr than I would with ANY REPUBLICAN.

queers aren’t killing kids, conservatives are.

pls reblog to spread awareness

Okay challenge mode. You are a therapist and Eridan Ampora from Homestuck has just walked right out of his intro page into your office. How do you fix him?

put him and karkat in a room with a pile of stuff and tell them they can't leave until they've jumped into it and talked about their feelings

you know the contrast between how Vergil is presented vs thinking too hard about Vergil’s story is pretty funny. Man’s reputation is this iconic badass, the pinnacle of what video game rivalries can be, the coolest guy to play as, the guy who breaks every game he’s added to,

and then you go to the story and like. man’s lost his free will and autonomy at 19 and then came back a fractured man half of which was a lovecraftian eye beast the other half of which was a chronically ill goth man. and then he reunites and hes in like his 40s now I believe but legit the last time he was actually in a game where he wasn’t being mind controlled when he was 19 which is both sad but also thinking about how this guy who’s considered one of the top badasses of gaming has never really lived life outside of being a teenager.

Anyways this is the secret comedic potential of post DMC5 for Vergil because not only has the human world probably changed a fair bit in terms of technology, if he’s sticking around Dante he’s gonna actually have to learn in depth how taxes and grocery shopping work. Amazing.

I thought you were kidding about them putting a post/apology behind a paywall. But then I checked and just had to scream lol. How does this community find a way to monetize *everything*.

I've started playing Potion Permit, and so far it's one of my favorite games I've messed around with, but the most big brained move the devs made was giving you a dog on day 1, and then making that dog able to track NPCs and lead you directly to them no matter where they are in the town.

Y’all. I just remembered what my 3AM thought was. I’m just gonna leave it here and see what happens.

Wind: So you’re a hero in your world?

Shadow (as in Shadow the Hedgehog): Yes. Please refrain from touching me.

Sky: You’re a hedgehog, right?

Shadow: Not entirely. I was created with more than just hedgehog anatomy, but it’s true that the majority of my outward appearance is supposed to be that of a hedgehog’s.

Twilight: And you can do magic?

Shadow: Chaos energy.

I recently had the utmost honor and pleasure of commissioning @schoute to draw Goro and Valerie, and I am just speechless at what an incredible job she did at capturing my bbs in all their elegant, sensual goodness. The way they're looking at each other, his hand on her leg, her luxurious dress, the glowing 'Saka logo--It's just all so perfect IM GONNA SCREAM fjgjdfgkfdfdg 😭😭😍😍

Thank you again, Scouty, for this ridiculously gorgeous art and for being such a joy to work with over the past week! 💙💙💙

How did you get into keeping peafowl? They're one of those animals that I'd love to keep but have unfortunately made peace with the fact I probably won't have time and space to care for them in the future.

I loved them, and I was an asshole about it.

I lived with my mom in the suburbs, and purchased hatching eggs from eBay (don't do that), and a styrofoam incubator (don't do that), and hatched them in my closet (definitely don't do that) and brooded them in my bedroom (don't do that). A friend of my mom had recently got a farm, and agreed to keep them in a pen at her place until I bought a house, at which point I went out, got a stable full time job, started putting away money for a down payment, and seeing a real estate agent to look at hobby farms. About a year later, I found one that fit my criteria (house I didn't have to repair too much stuff in, acreage, barn), got a mortgage, and started building pens with my family.

This is, I feel I should not have to say, NOT the way to go about getting into peafowl. But I did turn my life around for them, so I can't complain about the end result.

That being said... I wouldn't give up entirely if I were you, if they are what you want in life, but I would just bear in mind that the road to them may be harder than you want to endure depending on your starting point. If you can acquire a dwelling space where they're allowed (it doesn't need to be "livestock" area, since some places consider poultry to be different than livestock, and peafowl fall under poultry), and you're willing to build them a pen, their care isn't particularly intense or anything. The space to keep them is the major hurdle.
