Remember when if you wanted to play Tetris you could just download an app called Tetris and the entire game was there and it didn't have any ads or login bonuses or in-app purchases to make the game easier, no logging in or making an account, it didn't want access to your contacts or to send you push notifications. It was just Tetris, the whole Tetris and nothing but the Tetris. That was a better time.
Art by ArtsKarely Two girls go into a Crises Recovery Center looking for answers and help. Is love the answer they’re looking for? Can love even help in the face of depression, anxiety and trauma? A story about depression, anxiety, trauma, that which leads to crises and how one recovers from it, the sort of advice I’ve learned over seven years of therapy to help with these issues and the ever pervasive question of “Can this actually help?” It is the first time I’ve thought maybe I could help people with a book but that wasn’t the intention. The intention as always with me was to give something personal and emotional. And there is probably not going to be a more personal work of mine than this. Not for a long while at least. So please, if you can, consider checking out Crises Girlfriends, available on anything with a web browser for $2.99 USD. Or less, sometimes much less, depending on where you live in the world. If instead you want a physical copy, you can get it for $11.00 USD or something close to that in other regions of the world. The back cover was also done by ArtsKarely and is a reference to something I did in the Crises Recovery Center when I went and also an event in the story where the girls pick out leaves to put positive reminders of their life onto. I’ve left them blank on the back cover so you can put down whatever will remind you of your own triumphs.
Thank you all and one final link as well as the number to the National US Crises Prevention Hotline. Please remember to reach out for help when you find yourself struggling. It’s never showing weakness or cowardice to seek help, not when what you face is always so terrifying. It only makes you all the braver for being willing to confront it as you must when seeking help. 1-800-273-8255
HI. i wanna save up money for stuff so i figured i should make a new commissions post. HOWEVER.. i am a very inconsistent artist so flat prices do not really seem to work well for me! heres a bunch of shit i drew.
i do a lot of character designing and experimental art! i love to do neons and horror and creatures! my artstyle is all over the place! yea!!!!!
i will NOT do NSFW, fetish, or hate art, and i'm not really any Good at "proper" backgrounds or mecha so buyer beware there, but otherwise almost anything goes! i have teh right to reject any comm for any reason but generally im pretty easygoing!
dm me either here on tumblr or at wr0ngwarp on discord if interested!!! AUAUAUAUAUAUUAUUUUUUU
Ok... Who exploded 😐
BTW I LOVE UNICO. I LOVE KURUKU AND BEEZLE ESPECIALLY!!! kurukus character design is so mesmerizing to me and his personality speaks to me deeply. his whimsical nature contradicts his violent tendencies and i LOVE IT. i use him as a basketball. characters when they! Wow!
So, while I've talked about this in other posts, I figured I may as well compile it in one post with this nifty propaganda poster (more on that later)
Long story short, they're bringing back KOSA/the Kids Online Safety Act in the US Senate, and they're going to mark it up next Thursday as of the time of this post (4/23/2023).
If you don’t know, long story short KOSA is a bill that’s ostensibly one of those “Protect the Children” bills, but what it’s actually going to do is more or less require you to scan your fucking face every time you want to go on a website; or give away similarly privacy-violating information like your drivers’ license or credit card info.
Either that or force them to censor anything that could even remotely be considered not “kid friendly.” Not to mention fundies are openly saying they’re gonna use this to hurt trans kids. Which is, uh, real fucking bad.
As per usual, I urge you to contact your congresscritters, and especially those on the Commerce Committee, who'll likely be the ones marking it up.
Those senators are:
Maria Cantwell, Washington, Chair
Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota
Brian Schatz, Hawaii
Ed Markey, Massachusetts
Gary Peters, Michigan
Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin
Tammy Duckworth, Illinois
Jon Tester, Montana
Kyrsten Sinema, Arizona
Jacky Rosen, Nevada
Ben Ray Luján, New Mexico
John Hickenlooper, Colorado
Raphael Warnock, Georgia
Peter Welch, Vermont
Ted Cruz, Texas, Ranking Member
John Thune, South Dakota
Roger Wicker, Mississippi
Deb Fischer, Nebraska
Jerry Moran, Kansas
Dan Sullivan, Alaska
Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee
Todd Young, Indiana
Ted Budd, North Carolina
Eric Schmitt, Missouri
J.D. Vance, Ohio
Shelley Moore Capito, West Virginia
Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming
Again, it doesn't work unless you do it en-masse, so make sure to call ASAP and tell them to kill this bill, and if they actually want a bill to allow/get sites to protect kids, the Federal Fair Access To Banking Act would be far better.
Also, this poster is officially, for the sake of spreading it, under a CC0 license. Feel free to spread it, remix it, add links to the bottom, edit it to be about the other bad internet bills they're pushing, use it as a meme format, do what you will but for gods' sake get the word out!
Also, shoutout to @o-hybridity for coming up with the slogan for the poster, couldn't have done it without 'em!
Over a year in the making! If you are into Tabletop Gaming, consider backing!
Hello again!
