As , the United States, potentially heads into another forever war I can only think of this quote.

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

what I love about Dark, is that not one main character catches a breath or gets a break for one single second. it's just horror after horror after horror, plus everyone expects them to understand everything and remember everyone's name. not once did 1986 Claudia say "who the fuck is Mikkel" and she had the right.

I checked out this article referenced by the most recent 1899netflix IG story, and jesus it's bad. It's clearly HORRIBLY written by AI without even being proofread or even fact-checked. Although I should be thankful that 1899 is still featuring in online publications, the article itself is just insulting, misleading, and inaccurate despite how the headline appears. Read it at your own risk if you so choose:

I couldn't find the other article in the IG story, but I sure hope it's better...

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

A siren for the summer!

I decided to re-paint a colored sketch from 2020.

Here's the original: LINK

Just absolutely astounding to hear the right talk about these medicaid cuts. "it'll only be illegals." "it's only able bodied people who will now have to work" even though 92% of eligible adults on medicaid who can work, do work. "no one who needs it will be affected in any way"

.... The proposed cut is $880 billion over 10 years. The current medicaid budget is $890 billion for 2025. But the government has yet to produce a single drop of evidence of this amount of fraud. No proof. No concrete examples. No actual audit. Just numbers pulled out of someone's ass.

Meanwhile, studies have shown the $880 billion cut will result in at least 13.7 million Americans (not "illegal aliens") losing their coverage and 30,000 American deaths.

Please tell me how that's only illegal immigrants or able bodied people? These cuts will kill American citizens. They'll further destroy our already crumbling healthcare system, especially in rural areas. All to give the rich another tax cut.

What is patriotic about that? If you love your country, you want the best for it's citizens. This is not the best.

Please call your representatives and tell them hands off medicaid. The five calls app makes it extremely easy. It connects you directly to your reps and gives you a call script. Please fight to save American lives.

I'm slowly building up a little gallery of retro anime and game characters done in colored pencil. There's at least one more on the way!

This movie was so fun! It is a plotline we've all seen before--unsuspecting people who get themselves deep into a crime ring (and end up being quite good at it) through their own incompetence--but done really well IMHO. It's an awesome cast sometimes playing hilariously against type. Best of all, not only were Ben and Alex main writers, they were very much in it being their funny The Pin/Darrel and Landon selves! I recommend if you want to have a great laugh, feel good, and see a couple familiar 1899 faces.

Our Darrel and Landon (ie, Ben and Alex of "The Pin" comedy), wrote a movie! I'm going to watch this weekend 😀

Gif sets are SO important to me. Yes, please take this scene and break it up into 4 or 6 three second loops that I can study over and over to appreciate the small details of it

My mom heard me talking to an Alfred and was like "Why are you talking to bugs?"

No, mom, you don't know the secrets of the universe! That is not a bug!
