[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

Bobby Dawn makes my blood boil.
The bit in the teaser for next ep really did me in. Kristen is at her lowest, she is expelled and knows that it doesn’t just fuck her up it fucks her friends over too, and this motherfucker is trying to convert her to Helio. Yolanda gave up worshiping a divinity to teach. She cared so much about her students and tried her best to help Kristen succeed. Buddy Dawn begins his 1st class practically preaching straight out of the fucking corn bible. He revels in the fact that his student is in tears because she’s vulnerable and he can convert her.

JK Rowling is being a Holocaust denier now…makes sense now why in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, she wrote the villain as evil for wanting to prevent the Second World War - and by default the Holocaust - from happening 💀

Won't lie, I've been on Tumblr for a decade now and I've given this website a lot of flack for the stupid stuff it's done, but watching it take unabashed potshots at Twitter like this is making me kinda proud. Like I set up real estate here in 2013, suffered through years of stupid policy revisions and new re-zoning laws, and now we all get to come together as a community and shit on all the people in the city and their new idiot mayor. I've never felt this kind of camaraderie on this website before and honestly I kinda hope it never ends.

Sometimes being proud of your queer identity takes some work getting up to.
Not all of us are unapologetically queer.
Sometimes we have to unlearn and untangle roots of shame and self hatred.
It's alright if you're not there yet. If you're not "out and proud".
For some of us it takes more time ❤️

Default Skin Sets!
Two default skins sets using @withlovefromsimtown's excellent Birthday Suit set.
@isimchi posted about the lack of options for players who want darker default skin sets, so I was like 'defaults? that's my one skill!' offered to make some, and we came up with these. :) There's also a slightly edited version of the 1.00 skin available as custom, so read on.
Set one uses 0.40, 0.60, and 0.70 skins for S1, 2, and 3 defaults and is intended to be used with Lifa's S4 default from the original post. Lifa's S4 file is not included! Go download their original sets, what are you waiting for? There's loads of cool add-ons! Like freckles! And nose masks!
Set two uses 0.50, 0.70, 0.80, and 1.00 for S1, 2, 3, and 4 defaults.
The 1.00 S4 default comes in two versions, Lifa's original and a version I edited to add a small amount of highlighting to the face. It's verrrry subtle:
A custom version is included; it's completely standalone, so you can have both the original and my edit in your game, and includes a custom icon and tooltip to differentiate it.
Following Lifa's example, the files are not compressed. Proper swatches in the download. Enjoy, feel free to mix and match sets, etc!
Download: SFS | Mediafire
Credit: @withlovefromsimtown for the lovely skins; @isimchi for coming up with the sets, brainstorming, and feedback

-Doomsday/Secret Wars will probably stick to being a Fantastic Four vs Doom story at its core: Great!
-directed by the Russo Brothers: not ideal, but fine
-Doom will be played by RDJ: absolutely insane why would you do this?
This is genuinely kinda flipping my entire perspective on where the MCU is at right now, I’ve *never* jostled against a casting choice or even just basic creative decision from Marvel Studios this hard.
I’m not saying that I’m on the hater bandwagon but…fuck, man, you’d understand it if I was.
RDJ as Victor Von Doom is just one of those creative decisions that instantly takes all the wind out of your sails, y’know?
Like when people say the MCU is a “washed franchise” I’ve always vehemently denied the claim. I can’t even bring myself to do that right now. It’s hard to, when this feels like such a concession, an admission of defeat, the franchise firmly stating that its best days are behind it.
It just…makes me sad.
