Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

Only did those two attacks officially, but I just finished this as revenge for an attack by Artemis Delta!

A woman stands defiantly. She wears an outfit that is a cross between a princess dress and an assassin's fit. Her lips are slightly pursed, her hand on her hip. A LONG braid snakes down and around her body.

Coward.

Protect trans kids. Let kids play sports, regardless if they're cis or trans. Stop pretending the hesitation to allow "trans kids to compete with girls" has anything to do with "fairness"

Buttigieg said parents have legitimate concerns.

To be clear: If you cannot be relied on to unequivocally defend transgender kids, you can’t be relied on to defend anyone or anything.

Pete Buttigieg weighs in on ‘fairness’ of transgender kids playing girls’ sports

He said he rejected blanket policies about trans participation in sports.

YES! SAME! Like, I obviously still respect them as creatures, but I do NOT find them cute at this stage

And then you can watch F9, which transitions nicely from F1

No no, it's like the Star Wars situation. You watch F4 and THEN you can watch F1 for backstory reasons.

I will get back to Artfight soon, BUT I had to draw this cutie who will be my DnD character for this weekend 🥰

A swashbuckling tiger. She's a pastel purple aqua, and she's adorned with gold jewelry. She holds a rapier and looks like she might put you in a headlock and then give you a big ol' smooch on the head. It's also important for you to know that she's wearing a crop top, which means her cute little tummy is out.

Haus of Decline @hausofdecline.bsky.social · Jul 13

2015. An old guy with a soul patch taunts a man with Buddy Holly glasses, a beanie,and a flannel shirt. The old guy says "you lazy Millennials don't wanna work." He smugly leans in and says "all you wann do is avocado toast." The Millennial shakes his skinny fists like antennas toward heaven and says "I swear to God. When I'm in my thirties, I'm gonna be more charitable to young people." It's 2025. The Millennial, 10 years older, says to his friend wearing an Animal Collective shirt "yeah, every Zoomer I've ever met is a braindead piece of shit." She nods in agreement.

These people need to know there is nothing to reclaim.

She owns the franchise entirely. It is hers, no one else's. You aren't going to oust her or change her mind. Her annoyance at trans inclusive fics means nothing when she is donating millions of dollars of profit to real anti-trans causes.

“[I can't] think of a single Harry Potter fanfic author that I know that isn’t clearly a trans ally or anti-TERF; we acknowledge that there’s a problem, but we’re here to play in this sandbox, reclaim these spaces. And fanfic has always been a place for more marginalized voices to play."

Why did you add the image?
What is the context?
Is it the style? Is it the text contained within it? The colours?

To all the artists creating in these times: thank you. It’s not easy to make beauty, truth, or meaning when the world feels chaotic. Whether it helps you breathe or comforts others, your work matters.

Art doesn’t need to fix the world to be meaningful, sometimes it just needs to exist.

Well if any publishers want a dinosaur focused book from @pablomcollar.bsky.social @dianasousaart.bsky.social and I hit us up because I promise that pitch will come together in about a week

Zoe TunnHELL ➡️ NYCC (Friday only!) @zoewithasword.bsky.social · Jul 3

For folks who don't know, and because it isn't really plot relevant beyond set-up, dinosaurs are dying most places because the climate doesn't fit them but thrive around the equator and have spread across the region which is now internationally banned for any travel

...who has the JP comic license

Zoe TunnHELL ➡️ NYCC (Friday only!) @zoewithasword.bsky.social · Jul 3

ALSO ALSO, I am weirdly fascinated with the new status quo established with this movie re: dinosaurs in the world and need to know more

She's one of the two main characters of my BBC Merlin and Frozen-inspired musical. She's the Merlin to Princess Natasha's Arthur/Elsa.
