For disability reasons, it's been somewhat rare that I make it out to actual picket lines when they happen, or that I would hold a sign (my hands are usually on my crutches), but thanks to @rattusrose.bsky.social, I was able to commission what I would look like out there

If I haven't said it lately, I'll say it again: the Fallout TV series is incredibly well done, has Easter eggs for fans of the games but still feels like coherently its own thing, I'm really enjoying how it's extending the universe created by the games.

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

"When someone tells you who and what they are, believe them."
If you cover this you are complicit. This is an intentional attempt to more normalise, but make "cool" tools of genocide. I am beyond disgusted.

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."
Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default.
And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?
Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.
