A Celebration of Fresh Beginnings and Deep Connections

As nature undergoes a rejuvenation, so does Renewal Day become a time for rebirth, regeneration, and the restoration of connections with nature, the environment, family,…

recently, Israel sent down hellfire missiles near a hospital in Gaza, which are missiles that explode into blades that slam down and cut through anything in their way. (link)

There is a video of a man with his legs newly amputated, screaming in a pool of his own blood. I won’t share the video, because it made me vomit into a toilet, but either trust me it exists or go look for it yourselves.

There is another video of a young girl, crying silently after her legs were blown off in an explosion. She explains tonelessly to the camera man that she doesn’t want fake legs because they’ll just remind her of her real ones. She is 13. (link)

A hospital is told to evacuate and they do, all the while waving white flags in a show of surrender. The IDF shoot at them anyway. (link)

Meanwhile in Israel - they begin to enforce one of the most draconian anti-free-speech laws in history.

Israel also claims to be the “only democracy in the Middle East”.

Israel has bombed hospitals, fishing boats, schools, refugee camps, power sources, water tanks, evacuation routes. They have killed 80% of Palestinian journalists, they have killed 100 UN workers, they have murdered over 4,000 children in 34 days. Because of the lack of food and water, Palestinians have begun to die from starvation, cholera.

If you still support Israel after all this, I believe you’re completely lost. Utterly without any humanity. Nothing could ever excuse this.

In Australia, there is an ongoing list of protests planned, as well as a permanent camp out being set up in Naarm/Melbourne to block Israeli transport company ZIM from shipping weapons. Congressional staffers in the US are finally being gotten through to - in spite of their rampant greed and long-suffering inhumanity, even they can recognise when their phones won't stop ringing with people saying flat out they'll never vote for them again.

the rock mod is back :)

oh hey guys, long time no see :) I should check my follower count to see if i need to update my bio-

oh. oh wow. damn. Honestly, genuinely, keeping up with this blog and seeing everyone's reaction to it every day has been one of the few things keeping me going in college, especially with some personal struggles going on lately. I want to do something to thank you guys, if you have any ideas PLEASE let me know because I am NOT an idea guy (hence a blog that requires NO creativity lmao) over the next few days im also going to clean up my intro post and bio and stuff and just make this blog a little nicer (not removing anythin important!! the rock blog will still be basically the same :)

This blog also turns four years old in TWO DAYS so I will be doing something for that as well (if finals week doesn't kill me dead). I started this blog in high school during COVID, when I was depressed, unmediated, and generally struggling with life. Now im a relatively stable college student, on hrt and genuinely on my way to living my best life, and throughout it all, i've had the rock blog to remind me there are people that care if i'm there, even if its just a small thing like queuing a stock photo.

Lastly. I hate to ask this, things are tough out there for us all, but im struggling to make rent this month, and if you have a spare dollar you can send to your local trans disabled faggot rock blog, I promise it will go towards helping me survive and make more rock themed posts for ever and ever and ever. if you do decide to give me anything dm me and ill send you a picture of a rock from my personal collection. hell ill ship rocks to people if you send me enough lmaooo. my kofi is https://ko-fi.com/ sirrivix, again absolutely no pressure at all im just struggling at the moment.

Last Friday evening, Bostonians came together from all over the city to converge on South Station and publicly demand an #ArmsEmbargoNow.

We demand that @senwarren, @edmarkey, and all elected officials:

1. Support @sensanders’ #JRD and call for an arms embargo against Israel;

2. Stop taking democracy-undermining AIPAC bribes and put human rights and the will of your constituents before profits and empire-building.

3. Put forth legislation towards ending our funding of Israel’s genocide of Palestine and their invasion of Lebanon.

If our elected officials can’t show basic human decency, we will find new candidates who will.

New headcanon, that Charles over the years periodically has given Edwin buttons that reminded him of his best mate. Edwin doesn't wear any of them the same way Charles does but he's kept every single one and he values each of them.

jayvik shippers need to understand that non-jayvik shippers are annoyed with you not because of not shipping jayvik, but because there is no escaping you.

you clog every tag on every social media platform. want to look at caitvi? jayvik posts tagged as caitvi for some reason. want to look at viktor posts? jayvik. jayce posts? jayvik. want to look at mel posts? jayvik. anyone talking about mel and viktor in the same sentence is obviously secretly talking about jayvik. (and by the way here's why every mel scene is secretly about jayvik and every viktor scene is secretly about how all he thinks about is jayce and why mel is inferior and jayce was a good boy and was right all along). you dominate the discourse and don't give room for criticism of jayce or viktor's writing and don't tolerate other interpretations. every theme in the show was about jayvik all along.

on my main blog, i write fic and make arcane posts - not complaining, staying in my lane, making my own content for me and my friends - and my tags, comments, and replies are full of people talking about jayvik and asking about jayvik when the ship is not tagged or present in my posts or fics, and jayce usually isn't even tagged because i just don't have fun with him as a character right now, and all people want to talk about or comment on is him or jayvik. so here i am, venting on my sideblog

this is a curse i specifically bear and cannot escape because as a fan of the writing of these aforementioned characters SEPARATELY, any and every algorithm is gonna shovel piles of jayvik posts 10 feet deep right up against my front door, and everyone on tumblr is "tagging for visibility" or whatever so there's no escaping it here either. blocking and muting does not help because either jayvik isn't always tagged, or jayvik is tagged at random and i end up hiding swathes of posts i actually do want to see. and there is also the fact that i WOULD be into jayvik because i do think it's fun, i WOULD have more fun discussing jayce specifically as a character who i think is a very fun hot mess, if social media wasn't making me despise both with a burning passion right now, which sucks

the only haven is Ao3 because people are still slightly sane when tagging their fics - at least with the relationship tags. jayvik shippers you do need to stop tagging mel though along with any other character who doesn't affect the plot of your story and i am dead serious

this is a vent post but i am also declaring - the reason why people are frustrated and annoyed at jayvik at large, as a concept, even if you yourself are a chill shipper and you don't see why we all can't just get along, is because the collective has poisoned the well and it's not fun for other people to be in the same space as you right now. there are a lot of you - be glad of that and happy, not every fandom let alone ship gets this large and energetic a following - but don't be surprised that people like me are gonna be mad because. it is irritating. and you're everywhere. and unfortunately there's nothing that any one person can do about it. it is an environmental thing and you just. need to come to terms and be aware, idk

[ID: Several drawings of Dipper and Mabel Pines at various ages, including older and slightly younger than canon.

Image 1: A grinning Mabel with a side shave, and another Mabel with an undercut; Mabel dancing; posing with heart shaped sunglasses and Waddles; carrying a pig-shaped purse; knitting; taking a nap and wearing oversized hiking boots.

Image 2: Dipper carrying a video camera; lying on his back reading; wearing Wendy's trapper hat and a flannel; wearing Mabel's heart shaped sunglasses with stickers on his face.

Image 3: Mabel in her early twenties, wearing boots, shorts, and an oversized jacket. Her hair is short and half pulled into a bun. She has tattoo sleeves on both her legs and lots of jewelry.

Image 4: Mabel with her hair in braids drinking iced tea; Dipper playing a handheld video game; Mabel posing to show that she's wearing a ton of silly Bandz.

Image 5: Slightly older Dipper playing a handheld game that looks more like a Switch, and Dipper chewing on a chewy necklace. An arrow points at him, reading "Mabel's plan to save her pens". End ID.]

back at it again with photos of art i did on post it notes at work. this time: the kids!

sorry that the balance is so skewed, dipper. i had fewer outfit ideas for you

Since I'm a little weirdo who's recently been intrigued by doing dumb little self-anointed challenges for the hell of it, I've been playing my "moralist Harry who mildly flirts with communism" playthrough while exclusively walking. One thing I love about it is that it's entirely impossible unless one where to, with reckless and unhinged abandon, save scum every time Harry runs. Cus yes, you can play the game and walk the whole time. Just be prepared to have Harry abruptly burst into running at random intervals all because you paused and stood for a bit or went into a building or dared to go up some stairs, at least on PC that is. Oh and the caps lock is your enemy. Be very careful with that thing.

I dunno. I just find it funny how both I the player along with Kim are at the whims of this man. That I too get caught off guard by the running and am at the mercy of Harrier Du Bois himself. Perhaps this very stupid "challenge" has brought be closer to the lieutenant as a player. Ah! One can only speculate.

Oh and yes. Kim did mention the running at the debrief which is even funnier with the context of this. Not that I blame him. Running or not, you cannot take the Jamrock shuffle out of the man.

Anything can be cursive if you try hard enough! Mando'a Edition

have you every had a brainblast moment and decide to create your own mando'a cursive system?

im like 87 % certain that im going to have a fully working cursive style because its really shaping up so far??? Had to do a lot of fiddling to make it work but if you've ever seen a cursive Z before (or friggn cyrillic cursive) ill let nobody judge my radical approach to mando r&k

im trying to find the middle ground between faithful and write-able. It's going from

OG -> first draft/uppercase/block letters? -> current form

if you know anything about typeface design and want to toss me your wisdom give me a honk, hoot or a holler

If Germany were as committed to standing against genocide as they claim, they'd be supporting Palestinians. 90 year old guilt has then enabling the very thing they are supposedly trying to prevent. I guess "never again" was just a slogan. What would their defense case even look like? Just claiming for hours that Israel can do whatever they want because of WWII?

I love the idea of Machete healing some unresolved stuff about himself because he realizes the things he resented about himself when he was younger are traits that Ear has but because he loves Ear it helps him to realize those traits aren't inherently unlovable. Do you think Machete or Vasco would be helicopter parents?
