Narilamb phone doodle cause I cannot use my laptop. No furniture to comfortably draw 😔
Nari fell first and also harder. Whoops.
…. naw I just started thinking about from Kamisama Kiss with how it’s dangerous for youkai and gods to fall in love with mortals cause their love last forever and humans themselves don’t. Good thing The Lamb isn’t mortal anymore 😩😩 good work, Narinder.
‘trans kids feel better if they can be themselves’
‘dogs feel good when you don’t hit them’
‘you don’t feel hungry if you eat’
Reminder: It’s IMPORTANT to have actual studies back up these “water is wet” kind of situations. There are too many people out there convinced that water is, in fact, dry; having actual research to prove that it’s wet is vital.
It finally happened! I stumbled onto the wretchedness that inspired this post!

watching death note with my family and after the college entrance episode my mom asked offhandedly if anyone had ever pictured L and light as a couple before. it felt like one single white dove had landed on a crystalline lake in a beautiful pure clearing. no i dont think anyones ever thought of that before
may be important to note that she also asked jokingly if the tennis scene served as an inspiration for Challengers (2024). this woman is tapped into modes of fujoshism i didnt even know were possible
I think “never kill yourself” is one of the funniest phrases to come out of the internet in recent times. Deeply silly but also captures the importance of experiences one might think frivolous or inconsequential.
Its true tho. Sometimes I’ll just be sitting on the floor drinking a beer and think “im so fuckin glad i didn’t do it”
We are not done yet. Don’t let the news scare you. A lot of the news channels are not reporting actual counted wins - they are literally *guestimating* when they haven’t even counted the votes yet. They are going to be counting for days. They will do recounts. They need to sort out this signature mess in Nevada.
WE. ARE. NOT. DONE. YET.
PLEASE. please don’t forget. we aren’t done yet. we won’t be for at least a week.
nihilism is not punk. doomerism is not punk. quitting is not punk.
the stark reality is that if they announced there was 24 hours before a giant comet hit the earth, i would find reason to fight and advocate and celebrate in the ensuing chaos up to the final seconds.
punk is walking into every situation and punching it in the mouth regardless of how big it is or the dominion it holds over your existence.
punk is hope and growth and love and fury and anger and passion and spit in the face of hostile forces.
punk is community and mutual aid and soup kitchens and block parties and festivals and little libraries and clothes drop boxes.
punk is dancing on the deck of a sinking ship because hey you motherfuckers i didn’t hear the music stop.
punk is having the hope for something better on behalf of those who can’t see it right now.
punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead.
in case it wasn’t obvious, this was the finished version of the pumpkin house wip from two years ago. i do like the new one now with the story telling, but maybe the mouse stood out more against the white pumpkin in the wip
When I was 19 or 20, I sewed myself a wool dress for medieval re-enactments. I hated it almost as soon as I put it on. The bodice was cut wrong; the lacing was uneven; the colour was garish; the front closure was historically inaccurate; the embellishments were sewn on with terrible thread. Wearing it, I was constantly aware of its myriad flaws.
Then in my twenties I hit my adult metabolism and didn’t fit into any of my old clothes anymore. I gave my old dresses to my foster mother, who sells costumes for a living, and the green dress sold. It entered the local medieval re-enactment secondhand economy.
Every time I go to an event, someone different is wearing my green dress. It draws my eyes because it’s a lovely colour and the fabric—real wool and enough of it—moves beautifully with the wearer’s body. I never recognize it at first, because every wearer has worn it a different way; it can be mixed and matched, dressed up and down, moved around a good century of history. From ten feet away its lacing looks elegant, its embellishments beautiful gracenotes. I think: Oh my god, that dress looks beautiful. Wait a minute, that’s MY DRESS.
That dress teaches me, every time I see it, to stop looking at myself through such critical eyes. That dress doesn’t just look good, it looks better than most other dresses in its category, because I put in the time and the effort (including using pliers to force a needle through six layers of wool) to make sure it was done right.
It’s my reminder that sometimes the things I do are actually good, and if I indulge my natural tendency to criticize myself in everything, I’ll end up missing when I’m actually awesome.
coming from a country with a fascist government in power and an election not too long ago, i understand your disillusionment. it’s such a huge blow to not see the results we so desperately needed to see.
but you fought so hard, usamerican friends.
and you’ll fight again. tomorrow.
tonight, you rest. it’s been a lot.
it may not seem that way now but i promise there’s hope.
queer people of all kinds. i am looking you in the eyes. do not fucking kill yourself. are you listening to me it will be okay. it will get better. i am shaking you by the shoulders do. not. fucking. do. it. you have so much to keep going for and so many people who love you. the cost of the present will not outweigh the life ahead of you. i love you. chin up or down keep walking you’ll get there. we will pull you back up onto your feet should you fall. i love you
disabled trans girl needs help getting away from abuse
my current roommate has been constantly touching me without my consent and bringing over people who have attempted to rape me. ive already had to deal with homelessness twice in the last 4 months, and i really dont want to be on the streets again, so please, if you can, donate so that my girlfriend and i can get a new apartment. we’re almost there, we just need a few hundred more dollars to afford the deposit, but if im not able to get that soon, i might have to start couch surfing or living on the street again to avoid being hurt
my income has been limited by the fact that ive been passing out if i stand for more than a few minutes at a time, but hopefully once i live with my girlfriend rent wont be a problem. just please, help me get to that point.
anything helps, seriously, just taking a minute to donate a dollar or two would mean a lot to me.
This is actually wild and will be the story of the night once the dust settles on the results.
Russia specifically targeted majority black districts in Georgia and the Navajo Nation in Arizona - they intentionally chose key demographics in swing states in an attack on our election clearly meant to benefit Donald Trump. Very disturbing.
Do y'all remember they elected Hitler to be chancellor (partially) because of economics? Look how that turned out. AND the economy didn’t even improve for most people.
And guess what a lot of people are using to justify voting for trump..? ECONOMY.
He lost the election tho
He had to give unilateral decrees just to pass any laws because his party didn’t have a majority in the parliament
