Blame Shifts As NASD Accountability Scores Decay

Nah, that's not how it works... own your shit.

Praises rang through the streets, Facebook, and media outlets for the achievements of the Natchez-Adams School District Administration, employees, and students when NASD improved their Accountability Grades from a D to a B in 2022. Now that district’s scores are in decline, the local print media outlet has chosen to point its finger at the community. Read the entire article here. According to…

Andre Braugher, 1962-2023.

We are saddened by the news that actor Andre Braugher has passed away, aged 61, after a brief illness. But we are glad to celebrate the life and work of this deep-voiced, deadpan legend with a wealth of wonderful tributes from across the dashboard—as Tumblr pays tribute to this biggest, warmest of hearts the only way it knows how. Oh Captain, Our Captain.

why does Shadow have so much beef with Tails

honestly you would think Rayleigh gave birth to shanks the way they are just exactly the same person right down to their alcoholism, penchant for scheming love of sandals and other generally horrible fashion items.

In a world where Mihawk meets Shanks first, he later goes to challenge old man Rayleigh and it all starts to click into place. like "oh you're the reason I'm stuck with that" point to Shanks wearing an outfit a pattern blind person put togther.

Thinks of them as dogs Silver as Maremma looks calm & peaceful but responsibly gets the job done, as big as the power of silver's arms, laid back about his appearance (getting dirty coat from work, no problem! 👍), born to have pretty looking fur (prince-like silver) Sebek as Elkhound gallant face, thinks he is ✨big✨ but really; smaller than he think he is (sebek being taller but actually less powerful than silver), actually cute looking because it's small (naive), still; hunts for big things - elk, moose, with no fear & very proud of that, no reason to; but chose to look stylish with curled tail (sebek, mindful about his appearance)

*Talking to Strangers* "Hi ... excuse me. I like your style. Can I take your photo?" I pressed the shutter moments after he complimented me on my style and I had replied - "My style is all I have left." "Style is important." he said. "I enjoy the interactions I have with people because of it." He went on to tell me - "My family were Irish but I was born in the Falklands." And then the stories.

Talking to strangers Taking photographs Listening to stories And carrying it all For the rest of these days.

Here you go!!

Silver in a pretty dress, that ISN'T her usual one!

Some of you may already know this, but I LOVE drawing frilly and poofy dresses! ESPECIALLY when they're moving!!!

I love the ways the folds rearrange themselves!!!

This first dress wasn't really inspired by some barbie doll dress, just a random redesign I guess??

I feel like the lineart isn't that visible though, but I'm too lazy to fix it lol

Aight, up next is a request!!

This dress was requested by @tea-132 and I thank them!!!

It's REALLY pretty and I would've missed out on it otherwise aqnd it was extremely fun to draw so thanks a lot :DD

here it is!!

And yes, before you ask, she will come in more poses I just need to figure them out and nothing seemed more fitting for this dress than the 'joyful-walk-with-a-new-skirt' pose!!

I will say that I totally put no effort into the design on the outer lace and ibis Paint was a giant help with the stars (I love you ibis, marry me <333)

I'm happy with how it turned out and be prepared to expect more dresses soon

I will draw them until y'all are drowning in them

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Erin Reed at Erin In The Morning:

On Sunday, President Biden announced he will not seek a second term and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, as his pick to become the Democratic Party’s nominee. In the immediate aftermath, Harris' donations surged, and major Democratic officials rallied behind her. Republican influencers, however, seemed unprepared for a primary line of attack, initially conflating Harris’ potential presidency with the Biden administration’s policies. By evening, they appeared to have settled on a familiar but often unsuccessful tactic: focusing on pronouns and accessibility.

Within moments, several right-wing accounts posted the same video from 2022: a video of Vice President Harris sitting at a table and addressing a group of people, where she introduces herself by listing her pronouns and describing her clothing. She says, “Good afternoon, I want to welcome these leaders for coming in and having this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her, and I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.”

The event was attended by a room full of disability rights leaders. According to White House Correspondent Andrew Feinberg, who stated that he was the print pooler at the event, “she was talking to a room of disability activists, including people who are/were blind.” Using descriptive terms to indicate who you are, your appearance, and what you are doing is a common technique to improve accessibility for audience members who may be blind. The Disability Visibility Project says of the practice, “A self-description provides information about a person that non-blind people passively glean. This includes identity characteristics such as skin color, gender identity, hair length and texture, wardrobe, and more.” Within hours, however, conservative accounts began pushing the video as their first major line of attack on the likely nominee. Anti-LGBTQ+ influencer Chaya Raichik posted it on her Libs of TikTok account, highlighting the footage. RNC Research, a collaborative social media account for the Republican National Committee and Team Trump, also spotlighted the video. Elon Musk quoted it, stating, “imagine 4 years of this…” Conservative influencer Wall Street Silver added, “Do we really want more of this woke junk?”

[...] The criticism to the line of attack is well-founded. Conservatives have attempted to target Democratic politicians over accessibility, transgender people, and other issues they deem to be “woke issues” for nearly four years, with little success to show for it.

The right-wing faux outrage machine’s attacks on Kamala Harris for using pronouns to address participants during a July 2022 meeting is a bit wack and a tool to push anti-trans and anti-”woke” fodder.

CookiesAnonymous, my dear friend who is currently writing "Twisted and Turned" (The Silver and Gold AU sequel) commissioned me to draw us running away from Rathbone [Villain!Basil] in a "Swan Princess" style. xD I had a lot of fun drawing this, though it was also hard since I had to deal with moving, lack of internet (which I now have again, yay!) and other stuff.

Plant of the Day

Monday 27 May 2024

A plant that found a space for itself on the street; this Lunaria annua (honesty, grandpa's specs, money in both pockets, moon seed, satin pod, silver plate, silver dollar) will have seeded into the edge of the path. As a hardy annual or biennial the plants are always moving around producing purple flowers in late spring which are followed by flat, round, silvery seed pods.
