ideal living situation is what i call the 'sitcom special' : having all your closest friends live in the same apartment building or neighborhood where you each have your own space but can wander in and out of eachothers homes at will, seemingly always welcome and never at bad times. and also all of you only have jobs when its important to the plot.

what YOU can do to fight KOSA

KOSA, or the Kids Online Safety Act, is back after failing to pass last year. If history has taught us anything, blanket censorship poses a very real danger to marginalized peoples including the LGBTQ+ community. Because it's never about the kids.

The best time to fight was yesterday; the second best time to fight is right fucking now. So I've scrounged like a stressed-out raccoon in an unattended garbage bin to dig up a few resources you'll hopefully consider to be helpful.

🪶 Contacting your representative is probably the most obvious step. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has made this easy as shit with a webpage that will message your rep for you. The page provides a template you can use as-is or edit freely, and a short form asking for your name, address, and contact information.

Not that you can't also reach out directly, which I do encourage because the whole process is pretty routine. To find out who to contact, you can look up your House Rep on the official govt site.

🪶 Consider also signing other petitions and supporting organizations dedicated to fighting for a free and open internet.

In addition to the ACLU, I highly recommend Fight for the Future...

... and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

I've also seen the Stop KOSA petition floating around, if you'd like to throw your name into that hat as well.

Stay vigilant and keep fighting, internet enjoyers.

I found this drawing of a cat I did like 4 yrs ago and it honestly looks like a weird cave drawing

You can say what you like about Power Rangers, but THIS is fantastic writing:

The mentor, Doctor K, has just informed the Rangers that the enemy’s technology just surpassed their own and there’s nothing they can do about it. Ziggy says, “But wait, their stuff can’t be better than our stuff. We’re the good guys! Right?”

Doctor K spits out tech babble, and shoots down each Rangers�� suggestions. Summer says, “Are you telling us to just give up, Doctor?” to which she replies “I’m telling you I don’t have all the answers.”

In response the team starts talking over each other until Ziggy yells, “Hold it! Hold it! Hold everything, people. In times like this, one question needs to be answered. Are we, or are we not, the good guys?”

Doctor K stares at him and says, “Tell me, what’s it like?”

“What’s what like?”

“Being stupid your whole life?” Then she says, “Is it as wonderful as it seems?”

This exchange is read like a joke. Ziggy’s the clown, he makes light of situations, he’s probably trying to cheer everyone up. Doctor K, she’s snarky, she’s rude to Ziggy, she’s deadpan and doesn’t have a sense of humor. You almost laugh at this until you realize—they’re both dead serious.

This entire episode was the most beautiful PR writing I’ve seen since Time Force (probably better than that too) and this isn’t the only scene that struck a chord. Doctor K was a prodigy and she was basically kidnapped and stuck in a government facility her entire life, developing a psychological fear of sunlight because she was brainwashed to believe it would kill her. Added on top of that all she wanted her whole life was to go outside and in attempting to do so she created and released a computer virus by accident, thus ENDING THE WORLD.

And here comes Ziggy, whose past is not all rainbows and sunshine, who worked as a bad guy for a while because he never had a place to fit in, who is an accidental Ranger and never wanted this but coped with knowing that he was a good guy and was making the world safe for kids who were once like him. Now his world is shattered, because if they’re not the good guys then who are they? Where’s the line? How do you know?

Doctor K knows. She knows she can’t be called a good guy. She ended the world because she wanted to go outside. A teenager killed billions of people because of a stupid want that never should’ve happened in the first place. She has no idea what it’s like, being innocent and naive. She doesn’t have that pleasure, not like Ziggy does.

As a writer my jaw was totally slack this entire episode. They seriously walked the line that season considering this is a kid’s show. Scott’s brother died right freaking next to him, for God’s sake. Dillon is a walking Trojan horse, was experimented on and memory-wiped and has moments where he almost kills his own friends because he’s half computer. Summer’s only friend was her butler who was more like a father to her than her actual one, and he died in her arms. It should be said that the acting in RPM was better than any season since, I dunno, Dino Thunder maybe (and if not then, then definitely Time Force). It really sold the whole plot.

I cried in this episode. I haven’t cried in any Power Rangers episode ever but THIS… this was beautiful.

Hi, I've been talking with Sami, a Palestinian, and wanted to help with their campaign.

My friend Hamza lives in Gaza. He is 23 years old and has thalassemia. He needs medicine and treatment outside Gaza urgently. Now, due to the lack of food, he cannot move. Please donate to him so that he can live a decent life outside Gaza. Please donate.

The catastrophic situation in the Gaza Strip has become unbearable. The Israeli occupation government is threatening to occupy the entire Gaza Strip and displace more than 2 million Gazans to the southern Gaza Strip, which has no health care, no infrastructure, and no centers to shelter the displaced.

Hello! 👋

Here’s my proper entry for the Melanin Beam Challenge~ 💖

(My first submission I made way back in June before I knew all of the rules, so I sent art that I’d already drawn & posted before… I’m so so sorry for that, I got way too excited & way ahead of myself…)

But I worked hard, amidst my art block, to make something actually for the challenge, and even with that obstacle in place, I’m even prouder of this than my previous drawings!

These are my timeskip Luz & Amity designs from The Owl House; [even lack of melanin aside, I really don’t like the canon designs, so the costume changes are meant to rectify that for me lol-] as for the melanin beam part, Luz is canonically Afro-Latina, but she infamously has little to no visibly Black features in the show… so, I made her darker, gave her a bigger nose, full lips, & twists with beads at the end to match Stringbean (the snake on her shoulder) because I thought it would be cute <3 [oh, & I’m also a chubby Luz enthusiast, so all of my designs for her are plus-size as well ♥️ :]

As for Amity, the canonically non-Black character that I’ve made Black, I wanted most of her features to sort of be the opposite to Luz’s, since they’re kind of an ‘opposites attract’ type of pair, so she has her natural, Afro-textured hair, just dyed, & shaved on the sides, & a longer, more hooked nose as well (but she does also have full lips & is only slightly darker than Luz is) [I also like giving her freckles on her nose bridge because I think it adds a nice touch to her design~ :]

I’m very very happy that I was able to (properly!!!) participate, & of course, Happy Birthday!!! 🎉🎂🎁

I hope you have an incredible day, & thank you so so much for doing what you do!! I hope you have a nice break soon~ 🫶

Thank you!!! This was my message on the other one:

"Fun fact; Willow's voice actress, Tati Gabrielle, is Afro-Korean! So she really could have looked like this, if they'd wanted to! Thank you!!"

I just really wanted you to know that 🤣 but this is super cute!! I actually can see how you put far more thought and intent into this design in comparison, and I really appreciate you taking the time to be honest and make something new rather than sliding just because I didn't know. Thank you!
