Not to nitpick but leftists have been posting reading recs and information on community building and security culture. Liberals and dejected Harris die-hards are the ones hoping Republicans and third-party voters "get what they deserve" and see their families get deported.
Like, wishing death and suffering on a group of people for voting differently or advertising different political priorities (however misguided and ill-researched they may have been) is a fascist in nature. here's hoping @dialectiddy for one was trolling when they said #i hope they all die
Trump voters on tiktok are EXTREMELY mad about the following:
They just found out what tariffs are
They just found out what denaturalization is
They (particularly black and Hispanic trump voters) just found out that other trump voters are racist
Leftists and liberals don't want to be their friends (they are furious about this)
Leftists keep telling them they hope they get what they voted for (they are really mad about this too)

Earlier today Columbia issued shelter in place orders and reportedly told parents to get their kids from campus. ~2 hours ago NYPD moved to retake Hind Hall. CBS livestreamed the event in full, complete with live commentary (like watching a sports game), including reporting that police went in with guns drawn... But later praising their lack of violence, wearing only helmets and not riot gear, and not using chemical weapons. They were praised for being specific in their arrests and telling students to stay inside dorms, despite constant yelling "Shame on you."
WKCR, Columbia's student radio, also had live coverage with 3+ reporters on the ground. They reported smelling the use of teargas inside of the building, as well as at least one student unconscious in front of Hind Hall. They reported everyone, including non protestors, getting swept in arrests.
I'm sharing this because I recommend all of you look for archived recording of student coverage and be aware that whitewashing of this event happened in real time.

If you watch any video at all today, I really recommend watching this one.
This person discusses where we (as a global whole) are at right now with climate change, and some impacts I agree that most all people will experience in the next 5-15 years. Obviously that doesn't sound super cheery, but I personally found the presentation truthful without fear-mongering, and relieving because I have been having sharing these thoughts with my own personal circle for at least a year now. You are not alone and we need to be having these conversations.

I suggest Tentree for new clothes, and Poshmark for quality (yet affordable) used clothes.
You know, with Shein, Alibaba and Temu being so popular, I was thinking that maybe we could make a list of some ethical and sustainable clothing brands. These will be more expensive, but if you buy from them you'll be helping someone anytime you make a purchase. Please list all the ones you know in a reply.
Pact Clothing sizes up to 2X. Sells men, women, and children's clothing. Items are sustainably made and Fair Trade.
Midnight Hour Sizes up to 4X with a few 5X items. Cute goth and alternative clothing. Items are sustainably and ethically made.
Able Sustainably and ethically made women's clothing. Sizes up to 3X.
Svaha Own by an Indian woman. Very cute science themed clothing for men, women, and kids. Clothing is mostly made in India and is ethically sourced. Sizes go up to 5XL
Proclaim ethically sourced bras and underwear and basics that comes in three shades of "nude". Sizes S to 3XL
Toad&Co Clothing inspired by nature. sizes S to 2XL.
Raven and Lily Supports female artisans creating handmade jewelry, bags, and homewares. Empowers communities through fair wages.
Altar Specializes in alternative and custom fashion. Sizes S to 6XL.
EDIT: I did not expect the to blow up! I want to find all the suggestions in the reblog and add them to the OP. I'm a bit swamped with work this week though. I may make a whole new post later. In the mean time, please check the notes for some other excellent suggestions! Some are here on tumblr! Shout out to
@freshhotflavors @morningwitchy @crowlines @mayakern
@mayakern has posted images of her clothes in the notes and they are all very cute!
I want to stress that you can't do everything. This post isn't here to judge anyone who needs new clothes but can't afford an ethical brand. I once had my apartment flood (basement unit!) where the ceiling fell in the bedroom and had to replace everything! Clothing that fit me is hard to find and I think I bought everything from Walmart. This is just for some suggestions and to advertise these other brands.

Are there any bnha manga / anime meta comparisons? I keep seeing people say that Bones has systemically downplayed or cut bkdk panels or scenes, but since it's been a hot minute, I'm struggling to remember any examples.

I know the day after election day is among the worst for suicidality in the U.S., and I know saying "don't do it" isn't helpful.
I will say that you have and will find communities that love, protect, and empower you, and that we love having you here. There is more power in having you here. I also recommend you take time, wait for certifications to happen (or even for the inauguration before making any decisions.)
But I also recognize that I have minimal influence over a stranger's feelings and decisions. So I'll add a condition:

MAKE IT COUNT.

I love how the Barbie movie did not confirm or really make implications about our Barbie, or any other Barbie's, sexuality. She's not romantically or sexually interested in Ken, but it's not explained by her being a lesbian, or ace, or any other thing - she just simply isn't interested in him. No further explanation is required from her and she doesn't owe him her attraction - even if "anywhere else" he'd be a 10.

Photo
Two years ago I was dipping my toe into learning how to draw (and animate) and took photos of myself to serve as references. And I was even thinner then than I am now. But nothing like tracing those photos made me feel like such a fatass.

So glad I got scara (along with Thoma C4! will be building both EXPEDITIOUSLY) but I just have to say... I am not touching Faruzan until she hits C6. I've never seen a character more dependent on constellations for playability and ER and it's fucking ridiculous that they designed her that way.

I really like the idea that over the years, AZ's story has been made into a mythology surrounding Kalos where no one knows for certain how much of the story is truth and how much is fiction (ie: Alexander the Great)...
And due to this there's different variations of his tale and different names that he may be referred with (he's generally called AZ because one of the confirmed things about him is that his name contained an A and a Z (or their bronze age equivalents)). It's known that he had a beloved Floette, it's known that he had an important key, but the story of the Ultimate Weapon is likely treated like a myth to explain why Kalos fell into a dark age after experiencing such an era of prosperity under its first king, rather than a factual thing that happened.
I'm also fond of the idea that at some point in history AZ's story became incorporated in some facet of the region's early religion 😭 and in this particular version of the events, AZ is considered a demigod.
(it was many years before AZ returned to Kalos for the first time so he wasn't aware of this at first too)
Hmm while I'm on this topic... I'm gonna pretend the reason why "Floette was a gift from his mother" isn't mentioned in-game is because it's a piece of history that never got uncovered. It is known AZ had a Floette, but her particular origins are a historical mystery.

you 🤝 me: We Need To Eat Lee Felix ASAP
but also [deranged screaming] this is my first comeback with them as a stay and i'm going to go insane because EVERYTHING about this comeback will not let me live like ?????????????? please stop for my sanity despite having none in the first place
my first comeback was noeasy (? somewhere around there) so i've been around awhile but it's always been like. oh yeah those men hot but anyway what about jun. i had bigger and better things to focus on so i didnt really try to get super into them 😔 and it took me the LONGEST time to choose a bias bc i just liked them so casually and i wasn't super attached to any of them (and also my ex friend was crazyyy about hyunjin so i was like damn ok girl u can have him chill ! she almost put a hole in her tv once watching the red lights mv but that's a whole nother thing). then by the time oddinary came out i had watched a little more and knew them a little better (lots of chan/felix compilations in my youtube history bc theyre so silly together little guys) and i was like okay yeah its official. that dude is My Man. he's just so auuuurghhhhh grrrrr bark bark bark i love him but at first i just picked him bc i liked him the best even tho i still didn't know that much about them. and then like for some reason in the last couple months something just clicked and i've been feral deranged foaming at the mouth over him ever since like idk what happened but one day out of the blue i woke up and i was like. must eat him must eat him must eat him i need that man carnally viscerally desperately. i have probably read every single felix fic on this app in the last week i've literally just been scrolling thru the felix fluff/smut/etc tags every night for hours like i am down BAD. definitely not more that svt and definitely not ult status yet but like. he is climbing the charts i fear he is getting closer (svt pun). also a friend from the kpop club at my school recently dropped her skz collection and gave me like 6 felix photocards and i was like well fuck now i need MORE of him and so then i bought all their recent albums and my wallet is very unhappy about that but serotonin part of brain is very happy about that. silly little man cards make happy chemical go brr

Is Hobie Brown 18 or 19 years old? since its been mentioned that he goes to the pub and I think someone on astv mentioned that hes older than miles and gwen?
First, do you really think Hobie would care about underage drinking laws, and second, I think it might be a good idea to ask why you're so keen for Hobie to be legally an adult when he's a teenager in his source material and 'older than Miles and Gwen', who are 15 and 16 respectively, can still mean a minor teenager, like, I'm not saying you specifically are being weird, but it genuinely feels weird how much Hobie gets adultified as a Black teenage boy by the fandom compared to the other Spider-teens who don't have disclosed ages, and that doesn't happen in a vaccuum.

When you get this ask you have to answer with 5 of your fave songs, and then send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers!!
Awwww thank u !!
In terms of Absolute Favorite songs... I think the #1 spot still belongs to Capricorn by Xan Griffin
Even after Years, it still hits something deep in my heart. I have cried to this song before, which is saying something for me. It's just... really special to me.
Hard as Fuck to give a ranking for another 4, so here are 4 songs from some of my favorite artists
Non-exhaustive list. Idk if these could be counted as my top favorite songs Ever, but that's such an arbitrary classification and can change depending on mood/general state of being/etc. So here r just a lot of songs that I love very much from some of my favorite artists. Yes.

Ok, I'm throwing my wretch into this dumpster pile.
When are people going to stop fighting about who pulled the trigger first? Like it fucking matters anymore, like this stupid gaslighting argument should be the main focus.
First of all, literally, all of us know it's Israel. They aren't hiding it. Seriously, take a look at their Twitter yourself. There is evidence everywhere, and even more leaking like heavy rain from all over the damn world. From dutiful reporters to the world leaders themselves who support this painful crap.
Second of all, Israel is bombing the Hell outta Gaza right now as we speak, and Israel wears Palestinian shredded blood like a badge of honor. Like they're doing the world a noble favor with these innocent Palestinian deaths, like they have any real fucking authority over these people who have been shitting in fear of them for years upon years.
It's fucking genocide, it shouldn't take fucking Einstein to figure out its the absence of morality and endless violence surrounding all these bombings is why you should be against it entirely, don't matter who threw the rock first, Israel is the one directly causing the damn problem. It doesn't matter the argument because arguing about it doesn't help anyone in the least. Why are we so focused on world leaders defending themselves when we need to be thinking about the current people actually suffering? Buried several yards underground, neath rubble, and destoryed buildings from all the terrorist bombs dropped on their heads?
We should be grouping together as a singular fucking force to plan out how to help the Palestinians, move all the wounded safely and properly defend any future life that will be lost to Israel's childish tarutum. Talking about and solving the problem, addressing it fully from all sides; we have the moral minds to do so, the power to back it up, so many medical aids willing to put in the hard work to hold and treat the affected.
But the world leaders are doing nothing about it, just sitting in their chairs watching their fellow hypocrites kill innocent babies and families while eating popcorn. It's disgusting, and I'm so deeply ashamed of my country right now.

I'm genuinely flabbergasted that a character canonically, while flying through the air and unable to use his hands, wiggles his pants off his hips and pisses on his opponents below. One Piece 100% fully did this.
