Without downloading any new pics, where are you at mentally?

Two bc the left is very close to things I’m thinking about (and #TIHYLTTW is never not a little on my mind).
….The right is more where I’m at RIGHT NOW.
A quote from “This Is How You Lose the Time War” : “...suppose that we defected, not to each other's sides, but to each other?” with the annotation: “This is the most beautiful sentiment and I think goes far past the intimacy of these particular two. What if people stopped being parts of armies and started being people together, loving and living and refusing to be part of a war?” A gif from Empire Records with Lucas asking AJ, “what’s with today, today?”

Fresh off a visit home:
…if you have a family member who FREQUENTLY offers constructive criticism, take a lesson from me and preface ANY sharing of work — even if you’re trading creative output — with this. Or ‘I’d like to know what you like about it’ or something.

( bsky.app/profile/did:... )
8) it's 100% fine to just tell your beta-readers / critique partners "i'm in a fragile place with this and only want positive feedback." for an unfinished work, this should be the default.

I read this completely backwards and was like "wait, people with invisible disabilities can't get delivery?"
OFFICIALLY TIME TO GET OFF THE INTERNET, I just unironically became this person:
A pair of tumblr text posts. The first, by drakensberg: "The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor." Reblogged by "poupon" with the addition: "how dare you say we piss on the poor"

Otoh my cat is being really cute.
A black cat covering his face with both paws curled up on a black and white throw blanket and almost under two pillows. A floof.

If you see this post an image you saved because it made you laugh.

Sent this screencap of one of Lockwood51’s on sale tees to the partner and metamour with ‘prolly can’t wear this to the family reunion right’

This got deleted while being completely slammed in the comments by mostly Dems. We’ll see if we get an apology (usually not if it’s deleted! that would require acknowledgment), or a rephrasing that doesn’t suck.

For reference, the original:
Chuck Schumer in response to the Supreme Court ruling: “Republicans' cruel crusade against trans kids is all an attempt to divert attention from ripping healthcare away from millions of Americans. We'll keep fighting and we'll keep marching on.”

SO many people, but the main two rn (I know the latter but I think both are friends of KL’s choice ;D): #ThursdayBand / #GeoffRickly & #JulienBaker
Geoff Rickly, lead singer of Thursday (who collectively count for this meme), sings while kneeling at the edge of the stage during a concert, backlit by bright blue light. Artist Julien Baker sings, gripping the microphone with closed eyes, during a live show.

I just know that, at least for me when brain = Bad, trying to figure out the choice that will feel or be better is like. A weird game of ‘one of us always lies’ with my own brain.

And I don’t know if this is helpful or just overbearing and weird. I’d like to help if I can though :/ ❤️

If you see this, post a knight

Not sure I can top G of Arc

But here, have two for the price of one! Well, only Jade (Erin Kellyman) is technically a knight but Kit (Ruby Cruz) is BASICALLY doing the job (or catching up fast!) just. Also the Disney Princess Jade is quite happily protecting.
An eight-panel set of screenshots from the Disney Willow TV show, featuring the characters Kit and Jade sparring with long swords. Both are dressed in relatively fantasy-masculine clothing and lit by a very pretty sunset. Dialogue: Kit: (talking while Jade has blocked her, but they’re very close) …maybe force them to make a mistake. Or leaves them open to something unexpected. Jade: (looking like she’s trying very hard to not react) That’s the strategy. Kit: …I love you. Jade: (momentarily stunned) (Kit knocks her down and effectively pins her.) Jade: (amused and tipping her head up as Kit leans in) You fight dirty. ….About time. Kit: I really do. Love you. Jade: Then shut up and do something about it. (They kiss. The camera pulls back from our sword lesbians.)

In tangentially related news:
Yesterday, the Government Publishing Office (govinfo.com) posted this little tidbit (highlighting mine) about a certification they received in, oh, 2019, on X:
Twitter/X tweet from USGPO (Government Publishing Office): In 2019, GPO made history by becoming the first organization in the United States and second organization in the world to achieve the highest global standard of excellence possible for digital repositories. This certification reinforces GovInfo as a trustworthy source that performs digital preservation practices to ensure long-term preservation of and access to official Federal Government information. govinfo.gov

For those not on IG who care: new haiiir! 🧜🏻
For those on IG: sorry, double post
For those not on IG who don’t care: 🤷🏻 ….new hair!
Faye, a non-binary adult, stands with their back to a mirror so the front and back of their hair can be seen. They have the top layer, which is a very dark purply-brown-almost-black, pulled back in a tiny bun. This reveals green, blue and purple dyed in abstract painterly streaks throughout the bottom layers, which reach to their shoulders.

In this picture they’re facing the camera a little more so both the front sides of their hair and the back right (in the mirror) can be seen a little better Faye, a non-binary adult, stands with their back to a mirror so the front and back of their hair can be seen. In this picture they’ve brushed their hair straight and it’s not pulled up, so the front is just dark hair and falls about chin length with a simple middle part. In the back, the dark top layer is slightly lightened at the ends, and stops a few inches above the longer underlayer of blues, greens and purples that peek out from underneath.

✨quote this post with your most kudos’d AO3 fic✨

Unsurprisingly (esp given how little I write), also a #TRC fic! I *am* surprised by kudos.

This was written before The Raven King & it was an exercise in how much handwaving one can get away with. I do like it.

Hmm! I never thought about this, but (despite being largely agnostic) I like this quote by Julian Jarboe (terminology obviously specific to date):
Quote: “God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation”. It’s surrounded by a thick black border with wood-block-like grapes on the left side.
