[mickeymagpie]

sits on my own blog like it’s the edge of a lake wistfully

chikorita gets clowned on a lot for its shit stats and a movepool i would be hard-pressed to describe as "extant" but designwise it's really evocative. it begs the kind of questions that make pokemon so magical: what IF a lima bean was a small dog. what IF instead of a head it had like. a weird nub. with an anime face on it. what if it could throw a fistful of razors across the room

You know by and large the reaction that the bourgeoisie have had when it comes to any and all criticism of Israel is a pretty good look at what their reaction would be like if opposition to the existence of the US military actually became mainstream sentiment.

the thing that sucks is that people love saying sleep early is good etc etc and yeah it is. I've seen some benefits before. but I think it sucks to ignore that late night is the only time with any freedom. I think it sucks to not acknowledge the dread in waking up and it's a work day again

[mickeymagpie]

forgive me father for i have opened a notification and read the message within to make the red dot go away and then forgot to reply for a month . it will happen again

[mickeymagpie]

I’m in this post and I’d say I don’t like it but I’m the one who made it so…

[mickeymagpie]

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.

The Mascots in the Running to Fly around the Moon!

Earlier this year, the Moon Mascot design contest challenged people of all ages from all over the world to contribute ideas for the zero gravity indicator for the Artemis II mission. This plush item serves a very important purpose — it indicates when the astronauts have reached space by floating around the spacecraft! The zero gravity indicator also reminds the astronauts of Earth when they are far from home.

The Moon Mascot design contest received thousands of entries from over 50 countries — but only 25 are entering the finalist round.

“Rise” | Lucas Ye from Mountain View, California

“Rise” has a soft round body that resembles the Moon and wears a baseball cap that represents Earth. This design is inspired by the “Earthrise” photo captured in 1968 by the Apollo 8 crew.

“Zappy Zebra” | Kenan Ziyan from Canyon, Texas

“Zappy Zebra” is a zebra wearing a spacesuit. This design is inspired by the long and dangerous migratory patterns of zebras. Just as zebras work together as a herd to navigate difficult terrain, the Artemis II crew will work together as a team to explore around the Moon.

“Luna the Space Polar Bear” | Royal School from Winnepeg, Manitoba, Canada

“Luna the Space Polar Bear” is a polar bear wearing a spacesuit and an astronaut helmet. This design is inspired by how polar bears adapt to extreme cold environments, similarly to how spacesuits protect astronauts from the extreme environment of space.

“Team GarCo” | Garden County Schools from Oshkosh, Nebraska

“Team GarCo” is a mixture between an amphibious creature and a dog, demonstrating that the unknown does not have to be scary. This design is inspired by the ocean, which many people have to overcome fear to experience.

“Parsec — The Bird That Flew to the Moon” | Richellea Quinn Wijaya from Singapore

“Parsec — The Bird That Flew to the Moon” is a bird that has built himself mechanical wings for the purpose of exploring space and the Moon. This design is inspired by the challenge of lunar exploration, which can be overcome by the power of invention.

“Big Steps of Little Octopus” | Anzhelika Iudakova from Finland

“Big Steps of Little Octopus” is an Earth-colored octopus wearing an astronaut helmet and holding the Moon and the planets of our solar system. This design is inspired by the intelligence and dexterity of the octopus, operating as one sole creature despite having many tentacles.

“Beeatrice” | Leila Fleury from Rancho Palos Verdes, California

The Artemis II astronauts will select a flight design from the finalists. Then, the zero gravity indicator will be fabricated by the Thermal Blanket Lab and prepared for its mission around the Moon!

dark souls enemies waiting 10 years to ambush you as you come into a room

[mickeymagpie]

SHAPE HELL

Yup.

[mickeymagpie]

I like how the "Welcome Back" meme always lines up death days with birthdays, because it implies that souls only attach to hosts that have already exited the womb. Perhaps amniotic fluid repels souls (how could we use this?), or perhaps souls cannot differentiate between mother and child until the umbilical cord is severed. But I imagine the most common explanation would be that the soul enters the body via inhalation (at first breath), which would make the soul an airborne parasite. But to answer your question, no I cannot explain the gap in my resume.

I started listening to the cree radio station because its the only one left in my range that doesnt play alberta separatist ads now and those make me see red like some sort of bull, which is not safe while im behind the wheel of a vehicle going 110

Why haven't they told me about the cree all-purpose radio station sooner. They play everything from the 50s to today. Half of their ads and one of their shows is in cree which I do not speak a lick of but thats fine, they play banger music. They give me local news updates that arent dripping with UCP cocksucking. They tell me about things that affect a demographic I otherwise hear very little about by virtue of being a white guy in alberta.

We are holding hands. We are learning about other cultures. We are listening to 60s rock and roll and then an elder will tell us stories about his youth. I am enamored. I am in love.

Hey also we should care very much about what's happening with Lil Nas X btw. According to LA law, what he did (takin a walk in undies and cowboy boots) does not meet the requirements for indecent exposure and therefore does not warrant arrest. The claims that he charged officers were made without proper evidence such as body cam footage. If there is evidence, it has not been released to the public. Either way, his actions do not warrant four fuckin felonies including three counts of battery on an officer and one count of resisting an executive officer, especially considering that he was clearly having a mental episode (a fact which is also supported by his dad). Benefit of the doubt to the charges, an unarmed man is being wrongfully charged more than he should for alleged crimes committed in response to a non-crime. Realistically, he is facing these charges because he is a black queer man experiencing a crisis.

Did you hear a new love language just dropped? yeah its crazy. Its called just fuckin biting them.
