WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.
Did y'all know that Elon Musk's Twitter recently added LGBTQ terms (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Transgender, Queer) to it's "offensive words" list - meaning that links to tweets with words containing them aren't previewed in twitter DMs and are generally de-boosted (shown to less people) by the website? Did you also know there exists a character called the zero-width non joiner that you can copy and paste in-between letters of any keyword so that the keyword visually looks the same but isn't automatically seen by the algorithm as containing a keyword?
CW for homophobia/transphobia/misgendering/deadnaming and police brutality

A collection of different drawings for a recent DnD character!! Their name is (as decided by the party+their past) Porpl Dusk! They’re an amnesiac changeling who died then came back having experienced ✨the horrors✨ special guest in third drawing is @xlulu2002 ‘s character!! 1) Based on the overall vibes from the song No One Else, they’re a bard so I wanted to draw them playing one of the instruments their proficient in 2) They cast mainly with their voice, but occasionally will use the violin! As for the crystals, I may go more in depth in future posts (and if the gods will it, an animatic) 3) Just felt the urge to draw them and their guardian doing a little dance 4) Their main design, which I actually haven’t drawn outside of their ref! I like it though, they’re just a little guy - - - - - - - - - - #dnd #dndoc #originalcharacter #oc #changeling #ocart #oc_art #digitalart #clipstudiopaint https://www.instagram.com/p/CpeI3E2LCKN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

With Spring coming Steven had started up gardening and it seems like he made a new pal. Steven’s dragon scales protect him from spikes which proves to be useful for handling and petting his cactus friend.
Both of them get to enjoy getting a little sunbathing!
Okay but after schools reopen, students should still have the option of telecommuting from home. especially high school students, who are expected to work an insane number of hours. as a teenager with mental health issues, I cannot imagine the amount of trauma I could have been spared if I had been allowed to work from home a few days a week. It's an accessibility and a quality-of-life issue.
