The poem is, of course, the Two-Headed Calf by Laura Gilpin. I'm planning on a slab of stained glass to slide into the gap between the mountain layers, with a doubled set of gold stars on it. I may wind up doing multiple "skies" that could be swapped out as desired, just for funsies. I could do a ceramic tile with perforations, maybe, or even a watercolor on heavy paper...

Let me feast on your fear, as I show you a true death.

This is my oc, Valentinus! I’ll put more info about him below. This drawing would be as if he was a partner character in the game!

Not sure if I've told this story here before, but once upon a time, I didn't really get the point of most protests happening my area because I viewed them as "preaching to your own echo chamber" in a lot of cases. Ex: I saw people do a climate march through a very liberal university campus within a very liberal city, and I was just like "Okay, everyone here agrees with you. This place has crazy aggressive sustainability goals. What is the point of this?"

Then when Roe fell, there were a lot of protests outside the courthouses in cities near me, and though those city courthouses do serve the surrounding rural areas as well, the cities themselves are all rather progressive and left-leaning, so once again I was like "Okay, what is the point of this?" but I went anyway just for the experience. We stood on a street corner with our signs. Most people driving by honked in agreement with us. A few people yelled "abortion is murder" at us out their car windows, and we yelled back "abortion is healthcare!" Cool, okay, still didn't get the point because it's not like we were changing any minds or there in large numbers (we were no threat to any power structures), and the city already largely agreed with us.

But then we got another SUV that pulled up and yelled "abortion is murder!" at us (both husband and wife this time). Looked in the back seat, and they were traveling with their daughter who was maybe 13ish. She locked eyes with me, gave me the most serious look I've ever received, and gave us a thumbs up just above the window ledge so that her family couldn't see.

And that's the day I learned that protests are not always about threatening entrenched power structures but letting people in isolated ideological bubbles know that there are other perspectives and that if they share them, they're not alone.

Timely reminder that protests have many purposes, and one of them is to steel the nerves of the youth.

every time I do a web search, right at the top I have AI info dumping on me

just give me the top result please

Swear in your search request. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the most effective way I've found of it not doing the AI summary is just to add "fucking" go my search.

Holy shit

You're welcome! I can't claim credit to have come up with it, but very happy to spread it around 😄

a rare bit of sweetness amongst insta comments

I used to be really scared of dressing in a noticeable way after being a freak throughout school for the smallest things, but after my diagnosis and consciously unmasking, one day I just started wearing cat ears everywhere and never stopped. It's been years now, nobody's ever questioned me on them. I've gotten a bunch of promotions, I've gotten married in them, just me and my cat ears against the world. Never in a million years would I have thought I'd get away with it but it just works

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
