JUSTICE FOR CASEY GOODSON

On December 4th, 2020, Casey Christian Goodson Jr. (23 years old) was shot three times in the back and murdered by a Sheriff’s Deputy as he was entering his home in Columbus, Ohio. Goodson’s family stated that he was returning home from a dentist appointment, holding a Subway sandwich, his face mask, and his keys, when he was shot.

Two days later, the Columbus Police Department made a statement alleging that James Meade, the deputy responsible for Goodson’s death, saw a man believed to be Goodson with a gun while driving. Meade then approached Goodson after he exited his car and walked home, where he was shot.

Hours after the shooting, the US Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio, Peter Tobin, confirmed that Goodson was not the fugitive they were searching for. However, Tobin also added that he believed that the shooting was justified, claiming that Goodson was shot after he refused to drop his “weapon.”

Yet another Black man murdered by the police.

DEMAND JUSTICE.

Lesbians still making posts about how bad it is for bi women to use butch/femme:  We know! We heard u! We’re trying to make our own terms and have them used widespread but we need to get the WORD out for them to be commonplace and that’s hard when literally nobody but bis reblog posts talking about bisexuals lol! It’s not like we all follow each other. At this point the only people trying to take ur terms from you are lesphobes or young bi girls who straight up don’t realize they aren’t generic wlw terms because they haven’t learned the history bc literally no one is out here trying to include and teach bisexual kids shit about their gay lineage, everyone’s too busy trying to push it under the rug. 

bi equivalent of femme: doe bi equivalent of butch: stag

There are more for nb bis and such you can look into but there’s the basics! Look I’ve even designed flags you can find if you scroll through this tag! (i didnt come up with the terms)

The Philippines just got hit by the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded in history

Yesterday, November 1, 2020, Typhoon Rolly (international name Goni) hit the central part of Luzon, Philippines. 

source: https://twitter.com/DrJeffMasters/status/1322676688002625536?s=20

Like the tweet said, it is the most powerful tropical cyclone to hit landfall in recorded history. 

The typhoon has now passed, but the aftermath is bad. Houses destroyed, farmlands flooded, and many, many evacuees. If you would like to see what’s going on, check the hashtag #RollyPH on Twitter, there’s a lot, which brings me to the most important point

how you can help

You can donate to help relief operations. 

There are many donation drives currently being circulated on Twitter, and you can find them by searching the #ReliefPH hashtag, here are just a few that I’ve found that have an option to donate through PayPal.

source: https://twitter.com/KayaNatinPH/status/1322819406578155520?s=20

And there are many many more. 

This is just the tip of the iceberg, a lot of people in my country are trying their absolute best to chip in and help those affected, but help from outside would definitely be something that could go a long way. 

If you can’t donate, maybe a reblog could bring this post to people who could. 

Thank you for reading. Stay safe and healthy, everybody.

A lot has happened in the last year of March. Just before I lost my job I started sewing masks for friends, family, and coworkers. I decided to expand to anyone who contacted me who needed a low cost or free mask because they couldn’t buy or make their own. I set up a Facebook page and Instagram called Maskcare for All where anyone can fill out the Google request form to get a mask, and if they’re able, they can donate money for the mask or for others. The donations buy the supplies as well as help me make ends meet. Last month I made a total of 271 masks with the majority of them going out as donations. 

I’ve done this for the past six months and finally decided to actually start selling specialty masks. Right now I have three shaped masks in adult and child sizes available for preorder. My goal is to get at least 50 preorders by November 7th and right now they’re at a lower preorder price! Once the preorders have been met I’ll start selling limited already made masks. 

I would really appreciate it if you could purchase a mask or at least spread the word!

These are so cute! I just bought #5! :D

Just wanted to share so y'all can get in on this Halloween goodness. ;p

Hey! I've noticed you've made some awesome Halloween merch, is it possible that you could also make some LGBT related designs? Haven't seen many before

Hey amigo, I made some sketches

Vampire mouth with LGBT flag

Vampire with LGBT colored sunglasses

Ghouls, all representing a different flag

LGBT colored fist holding a knife with dripping blood

Witch please, I’m bihexual

A witch flying on a broom leaving a trail of colored smoke 

Is there a design you like? 

[desire-makes-art]

A friend of mine posted this and tagged my old instagram account, asking me to share it. I figured sharing it here where I actually have a following, would be far better.

Please remember that just because the government is giving into pressure and greed, that doesn’t mean that any of this is getting any better, in a lot of ways it’s getting worse. And even if you yourself aren’t being as heavily affected anymore, there are people and communities that are.

Stay safe Darling ones, and help others remain safe too.

Log: Lysander game Solution found!

Hey hey ! So first of all, I’d like to thank all of you for your support and sympathy regarding my last post about the cancelation of the game. I read all of them and I’m sorry if I can’t reply to all of you, but know that your messages gave me a lot of hope! So thank you so much for your kind words! Some of you suggested that I change the character, but that solution goes against why I started this project in the first place, I wanted it to be a comfort for the fans and myself, so it’ll be pointless if it’s not Lysander. Not to mention that  editing the character/story will give me more work. However, some of you had really good idea like the fanfiction in powerpoint format, I like it! and I was going to use it but yesterday I got a new idea! I finally found a solution to make this happen, it will not be a game unfortunately, but I found a solution that is close to it and that won’t upset beemoov! I will not share what it is because I don’t want some people to ruin it again like last time (I’ve learned my lesson the hard way) All I can say is that I hope you’ll like it !

Also I have a question:  Would you like this to be divided in parts ( I can post it sooner than expected, and i’ll be a small series) or have the full version available when it’s done ?
