Dinovember Day 2: Medusaceratops
A sibling from a previous generation letting their tinier sibling playfully charge and bump their nose.
Want to try and at least half participate in Dinovember this year, if just for a distraction. And to get better at deenosaurs.
I'll be posting some late ones until I catch up (if I do).
Day 1: Compsognathus
Don't scroll past this. If there's any chance someone from Nevada is following you, they need to see it. Get this as far as possible. Be loud. I know it's easy to feel hopeless right now; god knows I was crying my eyes out for a good chunk of last night, but if there's even a shred of action we can take, we can't let it slip by.
Hello. I mean this really imploringly, and really genuinely. If you're a U.S. citizen still on the fence about what to do for the election, please vote Harris. There's this idea circulating that the person you vote for should be someone you like, love, idolize and that is so very not true. You're voting for the opponent you'll face for the next four years when you have issues to protest and matters to vocalize. You're voting for the person most likely to give an inch when you protest the things that matter. You're voting for the person most likely to not strip away your existing rights and scatter your focus across the things we already won, and which can be taken away. We lost Roe v Wade under the Trump-appointed judges. The current trans-panic is so disgustingly on fire, and it's absolutely the Republicans eager to rip away what little protection there is. Both candidates are also, disgustingly, pro-Israel. But Trump will never ever give a fuck to any protest on that matter.
You don't want to be complicit in genocide. I get it. But if you're a U.S. citizen, you're already benefiting from the U.S.'s foreign policy, and that's already complacency. Refusing to vote or voting third party isn't absolving you of that. It's just letting Trump walk in the door. And letting Trump in is complacency. And your ability to organize, and to make change, will go so less far against a Trump cabinet than a Harris one. The material harm under Trump is real.
Does voting for Harris make you feel guilty? I'm sorry, but you have to bear it. Your guilt isn't what's important. A white person's guilt isn't important. A citizen of a global terror's guilt isn't important. Actions that pacify your guilt aren't important. Focusing on absolving your guilt is in fact harmful, as opposed to actions that can actually materially reduce harm.
Please protest. Please donate to good causes. Please support Palestine. Please be vocal. Please fight for BIPOC and LGBTQA+ rights. Please view Harris as the opponent whose ears these things fall on. Your ability to organize safely, largely, loudly, and effectively will go so much further under a Harris presidency. Please.
Just going to add onto this with the position the Sunrise Movement (climate change group) made when I was text banking with them because I think it summed it up really nicely:
I know things seem really crazy out there right now. Trump would be a disaster environmentally (and otherwise) but voting is a chess move, not a valentine. Voting is not about selecting a political savior who will single handedly fix all of our problems, it’s about selecting the terrain that you can best move forward in. Movements throughout US history have accomplished incredible things. The best shot we have at transformational change is with Harris in office.

Not only did he try to kill me. He tried to kill me nearly 600 times and succeeded in all but a dozen of them.
The struggle is real
Posting my paleo art here for funsies!

Brother bear is literally the most hopepunk, love-is-true-strength, toxic masculinity is based in self loathing and will only destroy you and those you love, “ I live here? Splendid. ”, found family, 2D animated, greatest use of the “Turned into an animal” trope to the plot and characters ever, actually consulted Natives about their culture and made certain to portray them respectfully, Phil Collins soundtrack, underrated, BEAUTIFULLY 2D animated, Disney movie to ever exist and I’m tired of not saying it.
“I don’t like this story.”
♫ Everywhere I turn I hurt someone. But there's nothing I can say to change the things I've done. I'd do anything within my power. I'd give everything I've got. But the path I seek is hidden from me now. Brother Bear, I let you down. You trusted me, believed in me and I let you down. Of all the things I hid from you I cannot hide the shame ♫
Nothing slaps harder than Phil Collins on a Disney soundtrack.
Every time I woke up last night my brain was like “bears!”, and then I went back to sleep.
Not even joking, lmao. This is what I get for watching Brother Bear. XD
they are charging up their silly give them a sec
