the funny thing is that i don't think younger people - and i mean those under the age of 40 - really have a grasp on how many of today's issues can be tied back to a disastrous reagan policy:

war on drugs: reagan's aggressive escalation of the war on drugs was a catastrophic policy, primarily targeting minority communities and fueling mass incarceration. the crusade against drugs was more about controlling the Black, Latino and Native communities than addressing the actual problems of drug abuse, leading to a legacy of broken families and systemic racism within the criminal justice system.

deregulation and economic policies: reaganomics was an absolute disaster for the working class. reagan's policies of aggressive tax cuts for the rich, deregulation, and slashing social programs were nothing less than class warfare, deepening income inequality and entrenching corporate greed. these types of policies were a clear message that reagan's america was only for the wealthy elite and a loud "fuck you" to working americans.

environmental policies: despite his reputation being whitewashed thanks to the recovery of the ozone layer, reagan's environmental record was an unmitigated disaster. his administration gutted critical environmental protections and institutions like the EPA, turning a blind eye to pollution and corporate exploitation of natural resources. this blatant disregard for the planet was a clear sign of prioritizing short-term corporate profits over the future of the environment.

AIDS crisis: reagan's gross neglect of the aids crisis was nothing short of criminal and this doesn't even begin to touch on his wife's involvement. his administration's indifference to the plight of the lgbtq+ community during this devastating epidemic revealed a deep-seated bigotry and a complete failure of moral leadership.

mental health: reagan's dismantling of mental health institutions under the guise of 'reform' led directly to a surge in homelessness and a lack of support for those with mental health issues. his policies were cruel and inhumane and showed a personality-defining callous disregard for the most vulnerable in society.

labor and unions: reagan's attack on labor unions, exemplified by his handling of the patco strike, was a blatant assault on workers' rights. his actions emboldened corporations to suppress union activities, leading to a significant erosion of workers' power and rights in the workplace. he was colloquially known as "Ronnie the Union Buster Reagan"

foreign policy and military interventions: reagan's foreign policy, particularly in latin america, was imperialist and ruthless. his administration's support for dictatorships and right-wing death squads under the guise of fighting "communism" showed a complete disregard for human rights and self-determination of other nations.

public health: yes, reagan's agricultural policies actually facilitated the rise of high fructose corn syrup, once again prioritizing corporate profits over public health. this shift in the food industry has had lasting negative impacts on health, contributing to the obesity epidemic and other health issues.

privatization: reagan's push for privatization was a systematic dismantling of public services, transferring wealth and power to private corporations and further eroding the public's access to essential services.

education policies: his approach to education was more of an attack on public education than anything else, gutting funding and promoting policies that undermined equal access to quality education. this was, again, part of a broader agenda to maintain a status quo where the privileged remain in power.

this is just what i could come up with in a relatively short time and i did not even live under this man's presidency. the level at which ronald reagan has broken the united states truly can't be overstated.

Dejectedly going over to the "days since Gwen hasn't made things worse" counter and setting it back to 0.

My medication reminder app decided to translate itself to finnish during the latest update. It also added a streak feature, congratulating you for keeping up a continuous streak of days when you took all your meds, which I admit is pretty cute.

Unfortunately, while the word they used for "streak" is the same one as the one that's in "winning streak", the same word is also used for when you spend multiple days back to back completely drunk. So the cute message of "congratulations! You're on a four day winning streak of taking your meds perfectly every single day!" is both possible and far more likely to interpret as "congrats! You've been continuously drunk nonstop for four days now!"

Okay calm down WolfyTheWitch

This is an utterly incomprehensible crossover of interests, but Odysseus and Jonathan Sims should have a cigarette together.

I was NOT expecting it to fit my finger perfectly, so that is a very pleasant surprise.

The ring I purchased just got here, it's a true Victorian era brass ring with what appear to be imitation jade or chrysoprase stones. And it is almost definitely an artifact... I'm choosing to wear it anyway, as it is cool enough to outweigh how much I'd rather not be cursed. 👁️🫶

There are three types of Elias Bouchard fans

Those who want to beat the shit out of him

Those who want to ~beat the shit~ out of him

Those who want him to beat the shit out of them

Edit: There is a 4th type—literally Beholding

If he was fighting Jonah he'd be like "no! My boyfriend! I can't hurt him, I love him :("

And Jonah would already be half way to beating his arse to oblivion

the best part of that david lynch interview is this:

i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.

this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.

anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:

Are you trans? You have trans vibes, but that may just be because of the Elias cosplays. And the swag.

Also the name

Ha!

Yes, I am a trans man. 👁️🫶

The name thing is fair. It is true that not a single part of my name is what I started out with, I chose them all.

Though, my parents' naming conventions make a name similar to 'Cadmus' a real possibility, had I been assigned male at birth.

When I picked this name out six years ago (after not using my birth name since I was 10,) I found it by searching "Masculine names like Magnus that aren't Magnus"

Which is VERY funny now. Thank god I didn't go with Magnus... Small mercies.

Anyway, that's why my top contenders wound up being 'Cadmus' or 'Silas' V. Roselove Creely. (The surname being changed later on)

As soon as I saw the go, I knew I had to make this. I'm 90% sure I'm the first?

Try to draw the end scene from mag 159

Need to figure out how to portray Jon using his "seeing" abilities since the static cue the podcast uses would be hard to draw

The fandom standard option of adding more eyes to Jon is really not legible in my already messy/scribbly style, so gotta do something else

Ask the friend who suggested the podcast to me if he's seen any good designs for Jon using his powers (fail to give context)

He's really enjoyed the more body horror-y ones, gives some neat suggestions

Body horror is cool! I can do body horror

Have fun spitballing a couple of ideas along those lines

Remember why I was originally doing this

Ah

Well at least it's funnier now
