#we’re really proud of it

[era-of-ages]

Heyyyy guys so this is mortifyingly embarrassing for me but…

This past year my cousin and I finally released our book that we’ve been working on for nearly six years. We aren’t very good at social media or advertising but I wanted to try to advertise it on here just because it’s the only social media I really have and I’d really like to try and use some of the profits to get to college :,]. Anyway the book is called 1000 Balloons and it’s a steampunk adventure novel about two cousins trying to find their believed-dead parents after a family tragedy. Along the way they connect with the crew of their airship, the Freelander 2.0. and a long lost relative. In general just a lot of found family and characters we absolutely poured our whole hearts into. Anyway if you like to read and want to support some young authors we would genuinely very much appreciate it if you read our book. If you have $10-20 to spare (depending on the type of copy you buy).

Thank you for your time,

- Evelyn

You are alive and you are loved by the other side. Not sure where your beliefs became because someone voted for Trump means that I don't belive with you and care for others.

I am here to tell you I am a conservative and I support you and your beliefs

i am so sick of this “i voted against you but i still love you” narrative. it’s bullshit.

my dude, i am a leftist. i am queer. i am a woman. i am not “loved” by the other side other than the fact i am white. i grew up conservative and evangelical and saw the support for him grow from the ground up. i was homeschooled in a very red area for crying out loud. the republican indoctrination started young.

my beliefs came from personal experience and research. i majored in public discourse, advocacy, and political communication. i have written papers on the similarity between trumps rhetoric and hitler and on how he has embraced white christian nationalism. being told that my sister and i am less than human because we are queer is a fucking surreal experience.

i am fucking terrified of his presidency. i can’t even imagine what my trans or poc or immigrant or muslim friends and fellow americans are feeling.

if you voted for trump, you more or less voted to kill me. you voted against poc and queer people. you voted against the environment. you voted against religious freedom. you voted for someone whose economic plan will destroy our economy according to NOBEL PRIZE WINNING ECONOMISTS. you voted for someone who would happily commit genocide. you voted for someone who has been abandoned in droves by people who worked for him during his first presidency. you voted for someone who does not give a flying fuck about you unless you are rich.

you voted for a sexual predator.

you voted for a convicted felon.

you voted for a facist.

and when he destroys our country, you will have no one to blame but yourself.

This is something i drew back in early october but completely forgot to upload here. I was trying to get better with scenes and used Jaiden as practice

I dont really know much about her QSMP lore but I love her vtuber’s design. Was debating on if i should give her actual bird wings, but I felt that the sci-fi ones fit her better

I need advice.

I’m a white intern working in a mostly white southern(ish) high school. Students of Color number at under 2%, perhaps even lower. It’s a very white, rural community - I grew up in a fairly mixed, suburban northern community, and part of my family is Black.

Several of my white students say rude things to my Students of Color. I’ve told them to knock it off *as appropriately as I can* but I’m probably one of the few adults that actively discourage that behavior.

I don’t want to let this shit fly under the radar, but I also know that if an adult of authority *who will only be here for a couple more weeks* interferes, and then doesn’t stick around, it could make things worse. Additionally, I know these kids are probably very very very used to this ‘system’ and that making a short-term change could be more harmful than helpful.

I asked one of my senior students after a very racist incident *where she was laughing along with the perpetrator but I told him to stop anyway* that I can move him, or her, so she could be more comfortable (admin either does nothing or slaps wrists, especially for seniors). She said it was fine and that he was always like that.

I must emphasize, I think they were bantering (they talk so much I think they consider each other friends?), but it was also wayyy fucking out of line, especially in a school setting. And the guy says so much out of line shit I’m surprised he isn’t rocking a full set of dentures to replace the teeth he ought to have lost by now.

Another student took me up on my offer to move people, but I ended up moving him, which sucks because he was the victim in this situation. Unfortunately, I have to keep his aggressors in their spots, as they are highly rowdy in all the ways and require a lot more supervision than he did. And the class is really full. These were also all freshmen, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that affected the victim’s reaction.

So I’d really appreciate advice as to whether I should let it be, or continue as is, or step it up even more, from People of Color in largely white, especially rural, communities. Like any advice from current or previous educators, especially Educators of Color would be appreciated, but specifically southern/rural ones would be wonderful. I’m going to talk to my family members about it, but they’ve lived in more Northern settings their entire lives and they may have less … applicable (?) experience to the situation.

Again, I’m an intern, I’m going to only be there until winter break 2024, and I don’t want to fuck things up for these kids in the long run with my northern ally ‘sensibilities’. Thank you!

obviously we’re all very upset and it’s quite a shock and the drama etc but actually like they really did a beautiful job with THAT moment like you can’t tell me that they didn’t absolutely crush it and that final lone fucking tear wasn’t heartbreaking

[androidboy]

accidentally revealed my relationship status to one of my boyfriend’s super fans and i felt myself do the thing that i’ve been seeing him and his friends do when talking to fans and it was bizarre. i did the Talking To A Fan mode. the guy was geekin out and was like “i’m a member of his official fan club. i feel like i know him, i read everything he puts out like all i wanna do is just grab a beer with him and get to really talk. i can’t wait to tell my wife about this, oh man this is crazy”

You’re an only child, but feel really neutral about it, and don’t care (in that case, I’m happy for you.)

If your parents had some sort of health complications that made them unable to have another child

YOU GUYS ARE EPIC AND JUST AS WORTHY OF LOVE, IF NOT, NEED IT A LITTLE MORE THAN YOU THINK!!!

NOT ALL OF US ARE SPOILED OR HAVE IT EASY!!! THERE ARE MANY ONLY CHILDREN OUT THERE THAT HAVE HAD SOME FUCKING SHITTY CHILDHOODS!!!!

THIS HAS BEEN A PSA

(PS: Probably just posting this out of a sleepless rage, but lately I’ve just been reminding myself how much I distract myself from my problems and how others distract me, but at the end of the day, it’s never gonna stop me from hating myself for being conceived, so the least I can to is try to find people like me.)

(PSS: Anything I missed? Let me know!)
