Sometimes I'll just sit in my car and change him on a break, it's a very satisfying little motion, especially when stressed!! (Also thank you!! it's Mooncat's ghosts of Hecate and a gold sparkle topper over black!)

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

OFF TRACK! 01 To the Winner Goes the Envy

Uploaded for the Ko-Fi team way back in May! The mini-series is wrapping up soon at 12 (or 13?? hmm) pages.

#hiitsmoto | #maccadam

Panel 1: In the background, Hot Rod & Blurr stand on a racer’s podium, Hot Rod on 2nd and Blurr on 1st–Blurr holds a large golden trophy with #1 emblazoned on the front. Mirage stands in the foreground grinning and waving at the viewer, surrounded by microphones and adoring fans and reporters shouting for his attention. A 3rd Place ribbon on his chest. All the attention seems to bear down on Mirage. Hot Rod looks at Mirage with some confusion on his face, scratching the back of his helm. Blurr grips his trophy and trembles, a single enraged tear leaking out one eye.

Panel 2: Later, somewhere in the city, Blurr throws his 1st place trophy on the ground and it bounces away. Hot Rod watches him. In the background is a holo advertisement with a mech, but it is obscured. Blurr shouts, “I got first place! ME!! Why’s Mirage got all the attention!?”

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

It's a myth that banning a book increases that book's readership. For most books, banning has the chilling effect the censors want. Your favorite banned books need to you be loud for them!

Preeti Chhibber @runwithskizzers.bsky.social · 13d

Banned Books Week starts on Sunday, October 5—there are a ton of ways to support!

Find ways to get involved here: www.ala.org/bbooks/banne...

(If you're overwhelmed, even just checking out, buying, or elevating a banned book is helpful! Talking about them w/ the ppl in your life is an action!)

The eternal agony of being a creator is you're always worried you're not that good actually. I find it especially hard as a writer bc my work isn't getting direct feedback the same way art can. It's tough to even know if people are reading it, much less what they think of it
