For anybody not caught up: Tennessee just passed a new map that pretty much makes it so black neighborhoods have no power in local votes. Two things about this. While protestors were chanting "No Jim Crow", white Tennessee lawmakers were caught laughing on video. On top of this, Representative Justin Pearson and his brother KeShaun Pearson were arrested for trying to give their takes on the matter (which is not only their legal right but literally his job). If you give a shit about black people, help fight this. We can't allow a return to Jim Crow.

Heyyy guess where I live

A local paper had some great photographs, all taken by Nicole Hester:

The day before, Rep. Justin Pearson tries to attend a Senate Committee meeting and is barred access by the Sergeant at Arms.

Lawmakers and protesters link arms as the descend the capitol steps.

Once inside the chamber, Democratic representatives continued to stand together with arms linked.

They continued standing together with arms linked as votes were cast.

Democratic representatives take a group photo protesting the redistricting.

Rep. Justin Jones burns a photo of the Confederate flag with the words, We will not go back.

And stomps the ashes.

KeShaun Pearson being escorted from the building by the Staties.

Additional information: State lawmakers have been gunning for Pearson and Jones nearly their entire terms. Most notably, in 2023, the House expelled them for participating in a protest at the Capitol. Their districts had to have special elections to have them reinstated.

Pearson is one of the plaintiffs of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the redistricting.

The city most affected by the redistricting is Memphis, where locals are fighting against xAI's data center, which has been operating with very little oversight and is poisoning the people who live there. Here is a previous post on that with more information and more sources.

When in doubt of which bit of media you'd like to make fanart of, combine them 😎✨

I kind of think this works because I relate to both WHA and IDWTBAMG for the different ways they reflect being an artist, WHA for the journey and how you can find bits of yourself in different characters and relate no matter where they are in their progress as witches and IDWTBAMG for being a great allegory for artist burnout and how sometimes that results in a complicated relationship with the thing you used to love doing and distancing yourself from it a bit for your own mental health (which I relate to heavily 😅). Side note: I genuinely think Zira would make a good witch, just maybe don't have her be an apprentice with Coco, I don't think the constant danger would be good for her 😂

Important addition

not to brag, but im literally so fucking good at this game

[paper-mario-wiki]

there's a few things to explain here, so i'll do so under the cut!

if you meant "how did you make her house a hole in the ground":

at the palette shop, there's a 2D plane that you can customize and use as a mii home exterior.

there's also an upright variant, which i use for a stupid cartoon scribble house, where i store my bootleg ENA, ENIS

if you meant "how did you customize her house so perfectly?":

there's 3 elements to a Mii's house; the props, the wallpaper, and the floor. you can set each of these independently, swapping between sets to create emergent themes.

for Bugs's room, i used the Dilapidated Set for the props, the Fossil Finder set for the wallpaper, and the Dog House for the floor!

That's Not What Unc Means

You’d never know the meaning of unc or its origins in black culture if you looked to mainstream media.

Really good write-up on the origin of "Unc" as a term used in AAVE, and how it's been turned into a generic disparaging term when it didn't even have negative connotations to begin with.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

More broadly, I’ve also seen this happen to words and phrases like “chopped,” “clocked it,” “the tea,” “no cap,” and “it’s giving.” All of these are slang terms that originate from African American Vernacular English—“clocked it,” “the tea” and “it’s giving” come from black queer culture in specific—but have now been categorized as “gen Z slang.” I have heard some people start to refer to the habitual be, as in “it really do be like that,” as a “meme” and it makes me want to tear my fucking hair out. We been saying that! That one’s ours!

i feel like these two would have a secret handshake

[genderoutlaws]

"no ethical consumption under capitalism" is really an argument for communism but has evolved into a thought terminating cliche for the populace of the global north who wish to mindlessly consume without having to consider the morality of our choices and behaviors and the inevitable need to change them alongside the deconstruction of capital and colony

[genderoutlaws]

sorry this is my first thought upon waking but between ai and factory farming and fucking monthly shein hauls and new phones every year mined by exploited people in drc and refusals to boycott along BDS guidelines by people with more than enough options and every aspect of the culture of convenience and whos labor must be invisiblized to maintain that comfort and convenience and then you see people online like well don't ruin my fun by trying to make me think critically at all ever . i am going to become the joker
