This was announced in 2022 and I was really excited but then it was literally never brought up again. So. It’s probably not happening

PALESTINE UPDATES 🇵🇸

Summary:

Israel has been using drones to play sounds of children crying. To lure innocent civilians in, to fire at them.

Al Jazeera has verified this.

Israel loves to say how Hamas uses people as human shields with absolutely no proof. When they are the ones using the sounds of children to lure innocent people to their deaths.

I Had To Study His Eyes- April 27th, 2024

Fearful lives and mournful lights

always helping, never condescending

With joy in the corners, tucked away all night

Carinae nebula in the darkest sky

“come take me away” 

Make everything right

Deathful glare, cross them not

Endearing smiles, 

Cosmonaut

Adaptation, Darwin’s pride, 

I swallow before I apologize

A note then a chord,

discordant ‘fore war

Ascension to godhood only to pull you down

Try me with your fears, 

I promise I won’t drown. 

(for @whysaber-toothed - they're green, actually)

Will solace is the kind of guy to tell you to get 8 hours of sleep, say that mental health is important, and how you should eat 3 meals a day and then pull all nighters, neglect his mental being, and forget to eat because he uses all his time to take care of other people

Surprise! I met Chloe Gong. She was so great to meet, she was really nice and had a great sense of humor. I made these prints to give to her, and she seemed to like them, so I'm considering that a win! Click here for a better view of the art.

i'm sorry but this is the only submission to this trend that i'll consider giving any thought to

when you find a fanfic writer whose work just sings to you… i would read anything you write…. i would wade into a tag no matter how deranged… i would travel to the ends of the earth for you if only to soothe your little oyster shell just so you would be comfortable enough to make another pearl whenever you felt like it … i would love you tenderly and support you as you carefully place every grain of sand onto your little castle, regardless of how long it takes, if only to enjoy your words just a little longer

i got these knockoff boots online and instead of the brand name on the tag they have the name of an apparently nonexistent martin scorsese movie??? what the fuck

"mat! mat! is this about anyone??" NOOO. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. STFU.

The Italics Were What I Said- April 24th, 2024

I talked about us today, in a way no one’s ears had heard before

Not the cat’s cry, or the gossip passed around like hors d'oeuvres,

An angry simmer of screenshots and quotes

other girls and stabbing metaphors

But at the end of the day, 

You think you can use me for whatever you like, but mind you,

Mind you, my dear,

I’m a woman in the 21st century,

And at the end of the day, 

When all had gone gray, 

And you’re just “Jared”

You’re gonna want to pray

That this doesn't go viral, 

That your life doesn’t go to shit

Because my tongue is filled with venom

I’m tired of your apathetic shit

Come back at my funeral pyre.

The thing that I haven't seen anyone talk about re: Leah as Annabeth that we really need to is that yeah she's not blonde, so she's not giving any anti-"dumb blonde" representation. But "dumb blonde" is not the same stereotype it was in the early/mid-2000s. I grew up blonde, and I was smart, and I was treated that way, minus a handful of "blonde" jokes on like the school playground. There was no societal expectation that I would be treated dumb because of my hair color, not from my teachers or other adults I encountered. We no longer need the blonde Annabeth Chase to help show kids that they can be smart even if they have light hair. Book Annabeth did it, Elle Woods changed the world already, etc etc.

BUT there is just as much stereotype around "Black women are dumb" as there was around "dumb blondes" in the early/mid-2000s (if not more). It's a lot more racially motivated, and it has a lot more knock-on effects than being blonde has for decades. In addition to historic inequality that has led to Black people (esp girls) being denied access to education and able to like afford to pursue things on their own, people treat Black women as dumb. They just do. Just as stereotypical as the "angry Black woman" is that they are not smart, from stigmatism against AAVE to just general racism, internalized or otherwise. Portraying a Black girl as smart is not unheard of, but it's something society needs to see more of. It's something We need to internalize and accept and take into our everyday lives. Annabeth being smart and Black is representation we need, for all the BIPOC little girls and the rest of the world.

Annabeth no longer needs to be blonde. She is just as strong of a character as a Black girl, and still breaking stereotypes and working to improve the social view of girls. Perhaps even more.

Representation has power. Media has power. I think it's really powerful that Rick (et al) can see that power they're wielding, and use it to continue to make a difference that is positive and keeping with the spirit and message of the series as a whole.

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.
