I think I've become addicted to being an introvert during the pandemic.

why closed captioning should always be provided on every video:

Deaf People Exist

auditory processing disorder is a Bitch

people with ADHD can find it hard to concentrate on what is being said without the words in front of them

^autistic people for the same reason

autistic people may also find it hard to interpret verbal messages within the context of the video, so it's useful to have written alternatives to fall back on

do you know how painful it is to be excluded from every joke, every video, every conversation because others just Can't Be Bothered?

some people live in a conservative household or with family who don't share the same ideals, and they may not have privacy to view things on their own, so they may need to watch things with the volume extremely low or muted

We Want To Watch Videos In Public, Dammit

feel free to add on!

as always, ableism will get you blocked (:

So apparently they found out that the corona virus was not created in a Chinese laboratory. Which means now we can stop being xenophobic towards the Asians, right? Because if it was indeed created in a Chinese laboratory, then it would have been totally legit to be racist towards the Asians. Right, guys? Oh, so the Chinese people did make the virus! How dare they! I’m off to kill all the Chinese looking people in my American neighbourhood. See you in an hour.

Juneteenth is about Black people who were officially technically supposed to be freed from enslavement. Nobody else. Nothing else. It's not a POC day. It's not a "freedom for all" day. It's Black folk, Black culture, Black emancipation, SPECIFICALLY. Any other observation for Juneteenth is gentrification.

Author: Smilingatyou

Appearing out of nowhere, a murderous sea monster ends the lives of thousands of people. The world calls for the slaughter of the beast, and an expedition bands together to achieve this design. Maka, a world-famous biologist along with her butler Crona, and Blake Starvenson, a professional harpooner and shark-culler join Captain Liz, and her crew on this quest. Only Maka isn’t so sure that killing the beast would be the answer to their problems. Swept away under the waves, she will discover a world she had never known, landing in the midst of a unfolding conspiracy, all the while trying to figure out a romance with a mysterious stranger. A 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Au

I think i made Velma too many colors.

Also, Fred & Daphne have ascots, Velma has a turtleneck, and scooby has a collar; I feel like Shaggy should be wearing a scarf? Or something like that? His neck felt so empty when I drew him.

[smilingatyou]

She's green because.... i found my green color pencil.

And she's purple because, she doesn't look like Daphne otherwise
