you know, after watching day 3 of the democratic national convention, i need to say something, especially to other muslims like me.

most of the muslim communities that i'm a part of have chosen to vote uncommitted, or independent, or sometimes, even trump. they refuse to give their vote to kamala harris and tim walz, because of the way the us has handled the war in gaza, and how they have been careless with acknowledging palestinian lives lost, how it was american bombs and american tax money that went towards funding this genocide. it's fucked up, and it's wrong, and there shouldn't be any debate on that.

and i am 100% in support of that anger. i am 100% in support of forcing america to stop funding this genocide. no one wants to keep seeing palestinian lives suffer. no one is free until we're all free, and i believe that to my very core.

my only concern is that where this anger is being placed, from 1 year to 11 weeks before the presidential election, is so scary. because the reality of the situation is that america has a bipartisan outlook. whoever gets the presidency is either democrat or republican. and every vote that doesn't go towards democracy (i.e. voting for kamala harris) inadvertently goes towards trump's big plan of project 2025, which is basically dictatorship. Even voting uncommitted, even voting independent. we cannot afford to elect trump for a second term, and voting anything other than democrat draws that line way too close, especially in swing states like michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, georgia.

yes, there are many issues that we wish joe biden would handle better. there are many ways that the democratic party has fucked up beyond repair. there are many ways the democratic party has refused to acknowledge the pain of people affected by their military people throughout the years, and we've been seeing it for years. this is not a new thing. this did not start on october 7th. we see it during pretty much every administration.

however, voting for your candidate should never be based on a singular issue. no political candidate is ever going to check every single box. and its so unfortunate that we have to always take the "lesser of two evils" approach when nominating our president, but that's the reality of the situation at this very moment. there are many other rights to be considered that are at stake this election, all of which trump is trying to remove. abortion bans, women's rights, healthcare, social security, climate change, to name a few.

(and, somehow, there's a belief that trump will lead to a ceasefire deal where biden-harris didn't? let me tell you that is never going to happen.)

does this mean we just stop protesting or pressuring? absolutely not. you NEVER stop, because if our votes are the ones that put the candidate in their position of power, then we expect results. we expect them to work towards what they promised. and we can't let up on reaching out to our local county offices and our state governors and escalating these issues further until someone takes notice and does something about them. we don't elect them and just leave them to do what they want. we keep them accountable. use that anger i was talking about.

but it also means not having tunnel vision. the election in november could very well mean the end of democracy if kamala harris doesn't win. this post is not me all giggly-happy over the democratic party, because trust me, i have my fair share of issues with them as well. this post isn't to tell you what to do, because i can't force you to vote blue. i can't force the community i'm in to change their minds about toss-up votes. but what i can do is put down plainly what's at stake this election. and that is, very simply, our right to choose everything.

so if you are eligible to vote and haven't registered, please do. if you haven't voted before because "what's the point", please see above what the point is. a handful of votes is enough to flip the outcome of an election, especially with the electoral college.

and if you're still on the fence on whether to vote for kamala or trump, hopefully this post gives a little bit more perspective in the most streamlined way i could manage without bogging you down with statistics and numbers.

the choice is yours.

soooo hi!! aware i kind of disappeared off the face of the earth since november with no warning aidjwkd i’m really sorry about that. haven’t had the best time mentally for the past few months and couldn’t really find the energy to be on here much but i’ve missed being here SO much even though i did need the time away. as it’s my birthday today (it’s only 3am but it counts!!) i thought it would be a good time to start fresh so to speak

aware i missed a lot so i hope everybody had a good christmas, new years, valentines, any birthdays i missed and just hope everyone has been doing well <333

the last time i said i’d be back i know i disappeared pretty quickly again and i guess people must be sick of me apologising then dipping again so i can’t promise i’ll be here all the time but i really want to be here more again and start making fandom content more, but honestly i just missed talking to everyone !!

sending sm love excited to be back :) <3

Lars and and Stevonnie baking! He's probably talking about some baking nerd stuff.

Commission for @e350tb! Thank you so much for the patience!

I've been drawing/thinking about Stevonnie with Steven and Connie's wedding rings fused together, but it's just here where it was settled how it would look like. Personally think it looking like puzzle pieces made sense. So thank you also for letting me incorporating that detail in your commission!

The debate around Christmas is so weird.

On one side you have atheists saying Christmas is a secular holiday and everyone should celebrate it

On another side you have Christians saying Christmas been too secularized and it needs to be made Christian again

On another side you have antitheists saying Christmas is a Christian holiday and no one should celebrate it because no one should be Christian

On another side you have Christian Evangelicals saying Christmas is a Christian holiday and everyone should celebrate it because everyone should be Christian

And then you have me, a Jew, stuck in the middle like "I don't want any of this"

Being a first gen American from an Eastern European family truly gives me the most Jonathan Harker phrases to drop casually into conversation.

“I need two weeks off because I will be traveling to my mother’s village this November for my nieces baptism ceremony.

Yeah, we’ll fly into the one big city, and then a family member will drive us out to the village and leave us there. We’ll most likely be snowed in and isolated for the entire duration.”

When I return I may seem pale and deathly. But I assure you it’s from the wrought travels and have nothing to do with the puncture wounds on my neck.

Imagine if the malevolent cast survived and lived long enough for homosexuality to be de-criminalised. Imagine if they got to watch the rocky horror.

Think about what it would be like for these people who have spent their lives fighting gods and entities (*cough* queer coding *cough*) to finally feel like there is a part of themselves they dont have to hide. To be able to see people like themselves on screen outside of coded characters.

Arthur would be 75. Arthur would have to live until he was 75 to be able to see this. Noel would be somewhere in his 80s. Thats insane and also kinda tragic.
