this was a historical moment in television
Apparently the rights to do this set back the budget for the rest of the season to like $5 and a peanut butter sandwich but it was abso-fucking-lutely worth every red cent
I love sitting down in the evening and trying to decide what activity I should do to unwind and then realizing an hour later that I have neither done an activity nor unwound
My given name is perfect tbh. 10/10 no notes. Perfect balance of unique and familiar. Fits my personality.
Robyn - rare enough to be the only one in school through the 90s, gender neutral enough for me to swing through the genders , popular enough now that I can sometimes get my name on things in big places. A bird that people think are dead people saying hiya.
My name means "of darkness". I dig it. 🖤
it's fine, but i don't always vibe with it sometimes and there is no real nickname to fall back on.
also it's common enough in my age cohort that everyone knows at least one other person with my name, and she is invariably a Giant Bitch.
My parents decided to name me Jennifer. So did every other parents of baby girls between, like, 1970 and 1982. Ten percent of my graduating class was named Jennifer.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, my last name is relatively rare, and people complicate pronouncing and spelling it far more than they need to.
Everything feels awful right now but it isn't really. We still don't officially have a winner, but regardless of how the presidential election ends up, I wanted to take a minute and find what lights I can in the 3 a.m. darkness. Here's what I know:
* Kentucky overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to undermine the public education system by offering private school vouchers:
* Delaware has elected a transgender woman to the House of Representatives, the first out trans person of any gender ever elected to congress:
* For the first time in history, two Black women will be serving in the senate at the same time, and they are only the fourth and fifth Black women ever elected to the senate:
* New York State has passed a constitutional amendment enshrining the rights of pregnant people (including the right to an abortion), LGBTQIA+ people, the disabled, immigrants regardless of legal status, and other at-risk groups:
* Democrat Josh Stein has beaten self-avowed Nazi Mark Robinson to become governor of North Carolina:
That's everything I know off the top of my head. It's not many bright spots, but it's not zero. I'm going to try to find more and I'll add them to the post. It's the only thing I can think of to do that isn't sobbing and throwing up or looking up Canadian immigration rules.
If you know more good news, I encourage you to add it in reblogs.
* Nevada has amended their constitution to guarantee abortion rights, overturning a state ban:
* Colorado has passed amendment 79, guaranteeing the right to an abortion, with more than a 20 point spread between the Yes and No vote:
* Maryland Question 1, also focused on reproductive rights and abortion, has passed as well: https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/results/maryland/issue-1
* Likewise, Amendment 3 has passed in Missouri, overturning a near-total ban to add reproductive rights to the state constitution:
* Arizona Proposition 139 to protect abortion rights also passed:
Every glimmer helps.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
* New Jersey has elected the first Korean-American senator in history:
Reports are coming out that Harris is leading in Iowa.
So what does this mean for Iowa voters?
Iowa was red in 2020 and has historically been red. As someone who lives in AZ, a red state that is now a swing state, it is entirely possible to flip a state or at least make the Republican Party sweat. So if you are in Iowa and were considering not voting because “your vote won’t count in a red state anyways”, please get out and vote.
Obviously polls can be inaccurate, but how great would it be if we could flip a state that republicans considered an easy victory?
Iowa also allows same day in person registration!!! So if you are over 18 and a U.S. citizen who resides in Iowa it is not too late! Click here for info on voting in Iowa: https://voterready.iowa.gov/registertovote/
is anyone else constantly afraid they’ll be “caught” doing stuff they’re obviously allowed or even supposed to do

symptom of parents always being negative about everything you do

Flashback to 2018 when I painted this for the first Art Ghoullery exhibition at the Rourke Art Gallery + Museum in Moorhead, MN!
I have giclee prints on my website if anyone wants to add some Halloween spirit to their walls! heatherfranzen.com/shop/reunion
“There may be people with the preconceived notion that a person will change if their environment changes, but I want to show that that is not the case. I have always been myself. People may say that there are aspects of my image that are made but I wanted to prove that wherever I am, wherever I may go, that I am me.” — TAEMIN, The Glass Magazine
