my favorite part about this is that this is more of an explanation than we ever got canonically

Just watched the banned Moon Girl episode.

>the episode addresses the topic of trans kids in sports >the entire episode is about how bigots will always move the goalpost, and playing by their rules is pointless >the solution is not to play their game and break the rules >it also states that trans people should never feel like a burden >the character Brooklyn is explicitly stated to be trans >there is also an explicitly nonbinary character >multiple mentions of pride and depictions of pride flags, trans flags and progress flags

I'm not at all surprised this didn't get past the censors but I'm so mad that it didn't, because this could've been something really special, and the fact it was canned after being fully finished is downright painful. This episode was wonderful and I'm grateful to all the people who worked on it, and angry that their hard work was wasted. Disney did not deserve you.

Here's a link, as long as Disney doesn't take it down

I am such a huge horse nerd and I apologize. :( But I’m really tired of seeing girths that are halfway down a horse’s stomach. This may not be interesting to anyone who is not me, but I like to draw fancy saddles and ridiculously long shanks on bits. Also, horses are the only animal I can draw, so I take advantage of that.

I hope this helps some frustrated non-horsey artists in at least some small way. Remember, when in doubt, add some buckles and some rings. :)

@horsefigureoftheday here’s a cheat sheet on horse tack.

THANK YOU

Crazy how they put me in Skybound??

this is definitely NOT the moon girl episode with a trans character that disney shelved and has no plans on airing and i am definitely NOT advising you to spread it around like wildfire in retaliation to this stupid-ass chickenshit coward decision. i repeat, i am DEFINITELY not encouraging you to spread this episode around like crazy to show disney that trans people will not bow down to the whims of the people that want them dead. definitely DON'T do that. definitely

"Echoes of Isolation: Are We Still Alive in Your Eyes?"

In a world where our souls are silently folded, in a place that is unforgiving and unresponsive, I wonder: why does no one answer our messages?

I am Hani, writing to you from the heart of deadly isolation, from the remains of a shattered homeland, from unbearable pain.

I am not asking for your money, or even donations; all I want is for you to ask about us, just one word: How are you?

Why Have You Left Us Drowning in This Solitude?

Have we become just numbers in a list that no one cares about?

Did you consider us dead before we even died?

Our messages scatter in the air, as if they never reach anyone.

They are ignored by everyone, as if we don't exist.

Where are you? Are we really invisible to this extent?

We’ve Experienced the Bitterness of Displacement...

We left from the north to the south in an endless journey, leaving behind everything that once meant life to us.

Everything was destroyed, from our home to our hope for a better tomorrow.

The war struck us relentlessly, destroying everything, turning our dreams into rubble.

What is left for us now?

We live in an abandoned school that has turned into a shelter, sharing classrooms with other families, and we’ve become nothing more than a memory in a place filled with pain.

Is it possible that we’ve become a mere

shadow in your eyes?

Every day we struggle to survive...

To feel that we are still alive, even though the world has forgotten us.

I live and watch my children suffering, and I watch my elderly parents, my sick mother who can no longer bear the pain, and I can do nothing but send messages hoping they reach you.

Do you know that we have nothing but the little hope we have left?

Do you know that the families we share the rooms with in the shelter don’t even have the basics of life?

Our children have no food, no safe shelter, not even time to play as a small child should in this world.

My parents can’t even get basic medical care, and my mother is sick with diabetes and high blood pressure, and my heart breaks every time I see her in pain, and I can’t help.

Can you imagine for a moment that you might find yourselves in our place?

In a school turned into a shelter, in tight corners with others who don’t know what will happen tomorrow, while hope slowly fades away?

You can ask about us, just to make us feel we are not alone in this cruel world.

Your response to us, even with just a word, gives us the strength to continue.

And if you find you are able to help in any way, it will restore our hope and allow us to live with dignity in these harsh conditions.

Thank you for your attention.

In this moment, where nothing is more than hope, a single image can carry many words.

This post only has ninety six notes. Hani genuinely believes the world has given up. We can't give up, please continue to help.

Please, please, just like Hani said, even if you can just share, it would mean so much. Everything you do means something.

this can’t be real

He put them together at the kids table that doesn’t exist I’m fucking crying

its easy to make fun of this (and i think we should) but its also important to note the description of this new department that trump has given

[transcript: "together, these two wonderful americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies - essential to the 'save america' movement," trump wrote. "i look forward to elon and vivek making changes to the federal bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all americans."]

to be clear: trump is planning to create a new department whose purpose is literally to deregulate and defund government oversight. this will lead to corporations having greater freedom to fuck over consumers while making more money, and he is putting two billionaires in charge of it.

sure, maybe this is just a ploy to keep them quiet. giving them the illusion of power in exchange for backing him. but lets not forget all the regulations trump cut during his last term

which has directly led to the constant recalls of consumer goods and foodstuffs over the past several years. the recent e coli outbreak at mcdonalds? the boars head listeria recall? these are the products of deregulation. getting rid of laws and standards that protect consumers by making sure money hungry corporations dont cut corners.

the funny name is a smokescreen. keep your eye on these fuckers.

— The Pervocracy: Consent culture. (via cosmicroots)

And this is a constant practice. We all do this at some time or another, but it’s about working on recognizing when/how you do it and getting better at taking no for an answer, no matter how low-stakes the situation is.

sims rapture (WARNING LOUD im not joking lower your volume)

Banging on the walls chanting "OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR ACA THRU JAN 15" like some deranged town crier. Election results aside, you have options to access healthcare as a RIGHT through the ACA. NO one can dismantle the Affordable Care Act in less than 4 years, so SIGN UP! GET YOUR CARE! USE THE SYSTEM!

You have options RIGHT NOW that will be stable thru the next year, the one after that, and I'd be shocked to see them shrink even the year after that. That means RIGHT NOW you can get signed up for next year to gain 100% covered preventative care (your annual check ups, pap smears, dental cleaning, vision check). You have the option to get checked and screened as you need, do NOT be dissuaded from exploring ACA choices. They are SOLID, LEGISLATED, and WORK BEST WHEN PEOPLE USE THEM.

I can't change most things around me, BUT I CAN tell everyone I know that THEY CAN GET LIFE SAVING CARE. THEY CAN GET PRESCRIPTIONS. THEY CAN GET PREGNANCY CARE. THEY CAN GET CANCER CARE. AND THEY WILL GET THAT CARE!!!!!!

SIGN UP BY DECEMBER 15, 2024 FOR COVERAGE TO BEGIN ON JANUARY 1, 2025. ENROLLMENT AFTER 12/15/24 WILL HAVE COVERAGE BEGINNING FEBRUARY 1, 2025.
