The content here is probably not terribly new. I was sick with something (possibly covid, probably a nasty flu) which took me out of commission for the majority of January. In addition, my depression, which has been very intense since the fall started, remains flared, and my executive function is through the floor. I am once again requesting assistance, if any can be spared.

There was a conference last night for the Stop Cop City week of solidarity coming up February 19th-26th.
The main takeaway is that if people are interested in taking action, the best thing to do would be to target the construction company that the police have contracted, the funders of the project, and the insurance company insuring the project. The cops are the ones who want cop city built, but they can't do it without the groups mentioned above.
The construction company is Brasfield and Gorrie. My understanding is the company itself probably won't turn a huge profit from the project and is mostly doing it to strengthen relations with the police. If we can show them they will lose money from this project they may pull out. One way to show them how unprofitable this venture would be for them is to make it harder for them to complete other projects they're working on. One suggestion from the conference is that those who live near construction projects being done by Brasfield and Gorrie could try to obstruct progress on these projects to show there will be repercussions if they don't pull out of cop city.
The main funders of the project are big banks and corporations. I've included a link at the bottom with more details but some of the groups funding this are Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Target, Home Depot, and Chik-fil-a. The Atlanta Police Foundation is also helping fund and support the project. Below I've linked a map that shows the locations of these funders and offices of members of the Atlanta Police Foundation.
The insurance company signed onto the cop city project is AXA. At the conference last night it was emphasized that AXA is the main target we want to go after during the upcoming week of solidarity. The destruction of the forest cannot continue without an insurance company covering them. I did a quick google search and was able to find several AXA offices near me. Like with Brasfield and Gorrie, if we put the pressure on AXA they will hopefully realize this project is simply not worth it and pull out.
This is a list of targets which includes a map of where these targets are located throughout the US. There is also a list of actions that people can take, but be creative.
Nobody wants cop city except the police and corporations. Let's help save the Weelaunee Forest!
Honestly the fact that Crunchyroll intentionally removed all closed captioning options for their tv app should be fucking criminal. You can only get subtitles if you watch the subbed Japanese version. If you watch dubbed anime and you're Deaf or HOH, Crunchyroll intentionally removed all closed captioning support. There is no work around.
FUCKING TERRIFYING! Anyways please spread this, Shabbat is this Saturday
Hi, everyone, I'm really hoping if any of my posts can blow up again it's this one.
Trans rights are getting worse and worse in the U. S.
Currently, several states are moving to completely ban trans healthcare for minors, limit trans healthcare for adults 26 and younger, ban public drag, place limitations on trans participation in sports, and a lot of other horrific shit.
My only other post that really blew up was about discourse, and so is this one.
I need you all to listen to me. Please.
We don't have a place for discourse right now.
Please, regardless of your stance on queer/LGBTQIA+ topics and the inter-community discourse, remember that we can't win anything divided.
That means, regardless of your view on that one controversial subset of the community, you need to work with us. That means regardless of your views on dysphoria, you need to work with us. We can't afford to get divided on the million different flavors of queer discourse running rampant through the community.
Those laws I mentioned earlier? Their endgame is to make trans existence illegal.
They will keep pushing the age for transitioning back further and further until it's basically inaccessible. They will make performative drag illegal, then all drag, and drag will include trans people in their eyes. They will keep going until we are forced to detransition and go into the closet.
This is really fucking scary and we need, above all else, to be a united community right now.
So please. Fucking please. Set aside your hot takes and discourse. We all live and die by what rights we can get in an allocishet society.
This means stand with each other. Stand with aces, with aros, with enbies, with pan people, poly people, stand with mspec gays and lesbians, stand with kinksters and furries too, because we have our differences but if we get caught up fighting each other then the people that want us all dead will take advantage of that distraction and criminalize us all.
Discourse is a fucking psyop and we need to wise up to it really, really fast.
Please boost this. And please don't argue with me on this post.

i really dont anticipate much traction on this here bc ever since they banned tiddies my reach on tumblr has been -nil- but...
i made (another) gofundme to pay off medical bills related to cancer. if you remember the one from 4 months ago, the last update i posted was that i got a balance update informing me i owed another 5k right as the gfm reached its original goal, and kind of had a little mental meltdown and needed to....depart from fundraising for it for a while.
but the time has come to face the music again.
details are on the GFM, please share/boost
So there’s this beautiful trail in Atlanta called the South River Forest Trail. As we all know, Atlanta Georgia is renowned for their tree cover and historic forests.
Dubbed ‘cop city’ by many protesters, this will cost about $90 billion with a B to build. This will be used to further militarize Atlanta’s police leading to more incidents of police brutality in the city.
On January 18th indigenous activist Manuel “Tortuguita” Teran was shot and killed by the police for defending this historic forest from destruction. Their reason? “He did not comply”. Many protests have been going on in Atlanta to defend this forest.
This forest is very dear to me but I am unable to physically protest at the moment, so I am handing this off to Tumblr to spread awareness. Rebloging this may help this tragedy become part of national news instead of just an Atlanta problem.

♥ Gift Guide Help ♥
Hi all :-)
As you know one of my fave things is to browse the net for cool trinkets and goodies, so if you’re a bit stuck on finding a gift for your pal/co-worker/dog/enemy this holiday season - send me an ask and I’ll see what I can find!
All you need to give me as a guide is a budget, and a lil summary of their personality (fave movies, season, trinkets, colour, hobby, something they hate perhaps) and I’ll see what I can do!
SLOTS OPEN: 8/9 Hi! After unexpectedly needing to replace my phone I'm really struggling to make it through the next month or so. I need to be able to pay my upcoming phone bill and pay for transport to/from school.
I'm comfortable with fanart, OCs, anthros, et cetera; I'm also totally down to work on illustration or character design projects that are broader in scope than the ones shown here. If none of these examples look like what you have in mind, let's chat!!!
You can see more examples on my artfight profile if you have an account there!
DM me if you're interested and I can give you a price estimate and details about payment! I prefer to use p/aypal but if that doesn't work for you we'll see what we can do ^_^
Reblogs are hugely appreciated!
Hey so I’ve avoided having to do this before, but I need to actually ask for help, for once. The last couple months sucker punched me kinda hard and I need to keep being able to make rent, so if I could get some help (whether in exchange for art or not) I’d greatly appreciate it.
I set up a “Ko Fi” for this, you can either drop a little in a jar, or buy slots of various commission types.
As for the parts about gamedev work: I’ll honestly need an actual job when I’m back from my trip, so if anyone is looking for an artist who can do concepts, spritework, 3D models, so on… send me a line, I’m in the market right now.

someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good
I haven’t yet seen a tumblr post with these resources so I am making my own and hoping it shows up in the tags. I ASK EVERYONE WHO SEES THIS TO PLEASE REBLOG THIS.
THE INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT (ICWA) IS UNDER ATTACK. AND WE NEED HELP TO PROTECT IT USING THE RESOURCES BELOW.
I am not going to go into heavy detail on the bill, on its history, anything like that, the resources have a lot of information, but as a little bit of background:
It is a bill passed that forbids Native children from being adopted by non-Native families. This is for a good fucking reason, there have been historically large scoops of children taken from their Native families, at a much higher rate than white children (see the 60s scoop in Canada). These children are often abused in these homes, and their entire culture is taken from them (many end up not even knowing what tribe/nation they came from), hence the point of why they were taken in the first place (forced assimilation). Now, this does still happen through the foster care system, but this has protected in the case of adoption. It makes it that only Native families can adopt Native children.
White people hate this and have been smearing it for years (think of the whole Lexi Choctaw/Alexandria P. situation, which was so fucked how they used that little girl). Now, the state governments of Texas, Louisiana, and Indiana have taken it to the Supreme Court to be ruled unconstitutional. This case is called Haaland v. Brackeen. Because white people … really want to steal Native children. This is being heard by the court, oral arguments start WEDNESDAY. ICWA could be overturned in the matter of weeks or even days.
PLEASE USE ALL OF THESE TO PROTECT ICWA:
Petition that will involve you sending messages to your Congressional leaders through their text automated system, only available to those in the US (BUT NOTE YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A CITIZEN, OR ELIGIBLE TO VOTE TO SIGN, JUST NEED TO BE IN THE US):
https://resist.bot/petitions/PCCPGW
Petition to send a message to President Biden and leaders at the Department of Justice, this does have a place to put in your country so seems like it may be available for those outside of the US but I am unsure (consider also donating to the Lakota People’s Law Project if you are able to):
https://action.lakotalaw.org/action/protect-icwa
Petition to be sent to the Attorney General and Secretary of the Department of the Interior, since it is through change.org it likely can be signed from outside of the US:
https://www.change.org/p/protect-the-indian-child-welfare-act
PLEASE SIGN AS MANY AS YOU ARE ABLE TO. PLEASE REBLOG IF YOU SEE THIS. PLEASE HELP US PROTECT ICWA.
Commissions are back open!!
