my singing voice is good for showers and mornings in the kitchen and drunken nights and lullabies for babies who need sleep and im okay with this

important reminder:

while (thankfully) trump doesn’t have the power to delay the election, the fact that he wants to should terrify every american to their core. there are two choices on the ballot this november: democracy and fascism. that’s it. that’s the choice. i don’t give a shit how you feel about biden. you have to vote for him anyway. vote blue down ballot. the constitution literally might not survive a second trump term.

if you don’t vote for biden, you are complicit in everything trump does going forward. a vote for a third party candidate is a vote for trump. a joke write-in is a vote for trump. staying home is a vote for trump. you have to vote for biden even if you don’t live in a swing state. we have to have a large enough margin of victory that it’s harder for trump to contest the results. you have to vote.

democracy or fascism. that’s the choice.

gifted kid burnout things that no one seems to talk about:

the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative

a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think you’ve fluked your way through every success and you’re gonna be Exposed as a Fraud

never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to

reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now

dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this

feeling like you’ve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)

being unable to decide on a career path because you could have had everything, only to watch those opportunities disappear as you fail to commit

everyone in pathologic is morally grey, except for the vlads and georgiy kain, who are just plain evil.

none of your faves are unproblematic. none of your friends or family are unproblematic. you are not unproblematic. there is literally no point during the process of learning about social justice type stuff and unlearning internalized bullshit and dismantling power systems at which you magically become enlightened and unproblematic. it does not exist. there is no tangible finish line, there is only endless, arduous work and it’s hard but it needs to be done.

usamericans on this site post stuff like “i can’t believe no one is talking about what is happening in the legislative council of the general assembly of the cabinet of the state government of the federated state of mississippi right now” and then in the following post they go “yeah pakistan is in the middle east”

HEY THIS IS IMPORTANT whats your favorite place to find drawing references?

PSA: no name is impossible to pronounce. no name is too hard to learn, no name is justifiably butchered. kids with ‘different’ names should be taught again and again that being called by their name is a right, not a privilege

Attention anyone who needs hairstyle references

I want to introduce all of you to this amazing place called the ukhairdressers style gallery.

It’s basically a massive database full of high-quality images of different hairstyles. I mean, look at all the options in that sidebar (and part of it’s cut off):

In total they have 976 pages of hairstyles with about 17 styles each, that’s about 16592 hairstyles to look at. 

Look at all the stuff they’ve got! Long hair:

Short hair:

Straight hair:

Curly hair:

Afro hair:

Men’s hair:

Hair on older models:

Extra-fancy hair:

Even crazy avant-garde hair:

So if you need help with designing a character or you just want to practice drawing hair, this is a fantastic resource.

Me writing at age 15: what IF the story was about people KIDNAPPING teenagers and CRUELLY EXPERIMENTING on them and I had a NINE YEAR OLD accidentally KILL A MAN with unharnessed DEADLY PSYCHIC ENERGY

Me writing at age 25: what if a vampire was just a really good dad to his loving family and my characters had a whole conversation with a faerie about human music genres

white people have to stop thinking about non white languages like they’re mystical ethnic tongues, getting a tattoo in mandarin or arabic doesn’t make you more spiritual, putting tamil in your old (european) gods aesthetic post is weird, and google translating your poetry into farsi is painful to look at. this is just how we communicate please be normal

americans on twitter commenting on protests in Belarus saying shit like "this is whats gonna happen in november look closely" like... FUCK YOU!!! this isnt about your problems with Trump, dont compare 25 years of Lukashenko's presidency, who's literally called the last dictator of europe, with 4 years of Trump okay. just dont.
