* transitioning engines, given fresh coats of paint (older edits above, new ones below)

A comparsion of an old and new sprite art. The original sprites were both made by Princess-Muff.

The top image depicts the old version of Thomas the Tank Engine, in his "Adventure Begins" green paintwork, upon arriving on Sodor. He has black wheels, a black bufferbeam, and curved cab lining.
The bottom image depicts Thomas in the same colours, but with an updated sprite. He now sports green wheels, a red bufferbeam, square cab lining and more a more vibrant shade of green.

The top image depicts the old version of Edward the Blue Engine, in William Middleton blue, upon arriving on Sodor. He has yellow boiler bands, and blue wheels.
The bottom image depicts Edward in the same colours, but with an updated sprite. He now has a more vibrant, but darker shade of blue, brass boiler bands, and black wheels. His face is also more solemn compared to the top sprite.

A comparsion of an old and new sprite art. The original sprites were both made by Princess-Muff. The wheels on the top sprite came from Max the Modelling Dude.

The top image depicts the old version of Thomas the Tank Engine, in Broomstick Blue, as seen during the 40s. He has a muted shade of teal, a curved running board, and a simple safety valve.
The bottom image depicts Thomas in the same colours, but with an updated sprite. He now has a more vibrant teal, his current flat running board, a red fitting on his safety valve, and different proportions. His crew is also slightly different, now with Mr. Perkins as his driver.

It's hard to encapsulate for younger readers just how identical to the Iraq push every note of this has been, from the GOP lies to the media consent manufacturing to the Dem paralysis. It's been said a million times, but it can't be said enough. It was only 20 years ago!

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

CLARIFICATION :

The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.

They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY

So spread this around

They can be texted. They can be called.

A screenshot of a website laid out in a two-by-two grid:

Top-left, a line-drawing image of a cartoon woman with braided hair looking at text messages on her smartphone with a smile.

Top-right, "Text us from anywhere, anytime. Standard text messaging rates may apply." "Text 'START' to 678-678" button, "What to expect +" link.

Bottom-left, "Reach out to hear a live voice on the line." "Call us at 1-866-488-7386" button. "What to expect +" link.

Bottom-right, side-by-side line-drawing images of two cartoon people. On the left, a cartoon woman is holding her phone to her ear and looking up at the night sky. On the right, a cartoon phone agent is sitting in front of a laptop with a headset on in front of a bright, sunny sky.

twitter is already used as a direct targeting zone for the government to send both harassment mobs and actual prosecutions towards people they don’t like

if they actually set up on here, understand what you’re getting into if you want to fight with them

block and ignore is much safer

i know a lot else is going on, but US folks PLEASE call your senators - they are actively set on trying to ban trans healthcare on Medicaid entirely which trans people like me who are on Medicaid actively depend on for life-saving healthcare

The Senate reconciliation bill retains the trans healthcare Medicaid/CHIP ban.

Call your Senators, we still have a good shot at killing this provision.

My latest video premieres very soon! I had a lot of fun with last week's video, and so I figured that it only made sense to reimagine more TV Series characters in a Railway Series style for this week!

Before the game came out, I thought people wouldn't really care about Tenna and simply dismiss him as a budget Spamton. I'm glad everyone seems to like him just fine. I see those two as intentionally similar characters who mutually enhance each other. You know, like Spy vs. Spy.

We are still working on the next bug fix patch. We are working with a professional testing team to confirm the stability of the patches before we put them out, so it will take a little while. (not that anyone is really excited about just bug fixes)

not bothered to repost all of my stuff from twitter to here, here's just a brief thread of either my proudest and most recent works :)

#Roblox #RobloxDev

LMS Fowler 3F "JINTY" 47445 in it's Private Owner condition, she was later on withdrawn somewhere in the 1970s, but is preserved.

LMS Fowler 3F "JINTY", Ulster Transport #19 of Ireland.

2 Jinties were bought second-hand from the LMS in the 1930s for use abroad in Ireland, #7456 and #7553 respectively.

British Railways Horwich-built 0F of the 1950s. Based on the original Kitson design made to Stanier specifications of the 1930s.

The Horwich design is significantly more modern to the original, with a slightly enlarged cab, larger bunker and shorter, but fatter saddle tank, retaining the same 800 gallon capacity of the 1930s design.
