Nothing shuts down a bougie conversation like "well, when I was homeless—" Nothing. It's one and done. They are fucking taken out. The conversation is dead. Done.

Reminder for people who are interested in protesting but cannot go out in the streets: There are other forms of protest!

Educate/Inform: Write articles and essays, make slideshows, make videos, make a podcast! Get information out about your cause. Statistics; history; names of people who have been murdered or died, of people who are suffering, and how it happened; forms of protection for people protesting in the streets; lists of rights; how and where to join community spaces, find protests, events, and aid.

Artists: Make art! Political cartoons, murals and tributes to those who have fallen, collaborate with your informers and educators to make their presentations and articles more eye-catching. Photographers? Take photos of the violence, of the people affected, of the suffering, of the joy—expose it. Get it out there.

Contact Your Officials: Write emails and letters. Make phone calls. Make sure they know you are fired up, you are informed, and you will not stop fighting for change. If you have connections, utilize it. If you will be somewhere that you can safely talk to an official face-to-face, utilize that.

Tech Savvy People: Make websites and apps. Help your leaders in setting up online community spaces and ensuring safe communication. Get into anything and everything you can. Fuck up their technology.

Leading and Organizing: First of all, you don't have to be in the streets to lead. You don't have to be able-bodied. Let's get that out of the way. If you have the mind of a leader, if you're good at organization and management, utilize it. Make a team and tackle issues in your area, and if you have enough people shoot for bigger areas. Make community spaces. Organize protests, community events, and aid. Collaborate with other communities. Use your strength to bring people together. Make sure your community knows to take care of themselves, and to take a break before crashing. Know when to do that yourself.

Ambassadors: Help your leaders and your team. Be the public face for your community. Attend events, get into anything you can, be there whenever collaborations with other communities happen. Be able to pull strings. Help your leaders establish your community and your movement. Make sure people know who and what you support, and let them know how they can help.

Participate in Mutual Aid and Fundraising: This is important. If we cannot support those in need, we have already failed. You don't always have to support them financially. 1) Take time to very mutual aid posts and fundraisers. There are several posts that list verified fundraisers and mutual aid requests, and if you can't find anything do your own digging. 2) If you yourself cannot spare anything, SHARE, LIKE, and COMMENT under mutual aid posts. SHARE fundraisers.

Stay safe out there, and help where you know you can. Seriously, if you cannot handle the atmosphere of a protest in the streets, do not attend one. If you cannot scatter if you need to, do not attend one. Attending as an able-bodied person is dangerous, but your risk of injury or death is greatly upped if you are a physically disabled person going out there. Pitch in where you know you can.

We will make it through this. We will see a better tomorrow.

As AI art gets harder to clock, I feel like we are going to need to have a discussion about attribution and it's probably going to bum some people out.

Because the surest way to avoid platforming, reblogging, or encouraging AI art posting is to know where every image you share originated and that's 1) boring, tedious research and 2) extremely limiting in what you feel you can reblog. But if unattributed images never gets traction, people will start attributing their images.

I've been guilty of this in the past, but for a while now it's been my policy that if I can't verify the origin, I don't share the image. That goes for stuff like screen grabs of headlines too -- more than once I've avoided spreading misinformation by saving a post to research before I reblog, then seeing the post refuted before I've been able to verify it.

And I usually try to attribute photos I take -- case in point, the "woman with shrimp" post gets a lot of attention but not one comment about it being AI, despite it being pretty similar to something you'd get from an AI. That's because I clearly state it's in a museum and link to its catalogue page.

I'm not saying this to scold anyone -- I think yelling at the Internet to cite its sources is very much a losing game -- but because I don't see this discussed much. We're such fertile ground to be fooled by AI art because we've grown accustomed to not questioning the origins of any given image. And of course I also want to encourage both OPs to attribute their images and rebloggers to verify unattributed ones.

I also think that Nate stays in Sanctuary for the first few years until a proper leader steps up for the settlement, but he refuses to stay in his old house. The first few nights he did were haunted by phantom sounds of Shaun crying. He'd wake up in the morning grabbing at Nora's side of the mattress only to remember where and when he was. To remember that she isn't there. Waking up in his house feels wrong, because there's no one for him to say good morning to. To watch the sunrise with. No one to snuggle up to while storms rage outside. Codsworth is there, but he just feels like another ghost from Nate's past haunting the halls of a house that is no longer home.

I firmly believe that Nate has a teddy bear he took from Shaun's room that he sleeps with every night. He becomes distraught if it is lost, and god forbid Dogmeat grabs it thinking it's for him. Nate keeps it, and continues to sleep with it whenever Synth Shaun comes to live with him. He refuses to remove it from the bed once/if his partner moves into his home.

Imagine if John did have to sleep though.

John clocking out at different times than Arthur.

John getting jetlag (how buddy??) from being on a different sleep schedule in the Dark World.

John whining that he's "not even tired yet!" when Arthur insists on getting some rest.

Arthur and John's dreams syncing up so John has to experience all the nightmares of his friend.

Their dreams syncing so that they can meet each other in dream space.

Arthur dragging along the voice of an elder god that's snoring in his brain while he runs from monsters blind.

Eventually, they learn how to have a bedtime ritual of talking to each other until they both fall asleep together.

I love it when people draw Jonathan Sims as being such a wimpy lil twig of a man that it looks like I could either effortlessly break him over my knee like a stick or eat him like a green bean depending on how scared stiff he is keep up the good work people

How old is the oldest movie you've ever seen?

My friend Nader and his family are still suffering under the besiegement and occupation of Gaza. Food and water have grown so scarce and expensive after two entire years of these genocidal conditions that Palestinians are dying of hunger and thirst in one of the gravest humanitarian crises in memory. If you are able to donate to help a Gazan family eat and drink and restore some hope, please please please consider helping Nader @abdalsalam2000 (# 4 on the vetted Gaza fundraiser list!) support his family.
