Me:

Hi, I’m Naomi! My pronouns are she/her. I’m a Jewish queer woman on the Autism spectrum. My spouse is nonbinary (they/them/all).

I’m a fanwriter and fanartist. My main fandoms are Marvel 616 (Steve/Tony) and Supernatural (Dean/Cas).

My commissions are open.

Please contribute to my ko-fi. Every little bit helps!

I try to have a queue set up to keep my posts staggered evenly, but often fall behind and build up a reserve of stuff I plan to queue.

My stuff on tumblr:

my art

my fic

my collages and edits

my rec lists (so far all are Steve/Tony)

@artthatremindsmeofhannibalnbc my Hannibal aesthetic sideblog (note: I don’t tag for cannibalism and other common triggers there)

My ao3:

I use my ao3 as an archive of my writing, not a portfolio. That means there are some stories on there that I don’t like any more, but I won’t be deleting them. (I may, someday, orphan some of them.)

I welcome remixes, sequels, fanart, podfic, etc. based on my work. I appreciate getting a link to anything you make!

Contacting me:

I love getting asks. I am sometimes extremely slow about responding to them. Tumblr messaging is also not reliable for me. Please contact me on discord (dirigibleplumbing) or ko-fi (dirigibleplumbing) if you have a commission request.

Protecting Yourself from Criminalization for Self-Managed Abortion — OARS

Self-managed abortion (SMA) with pills is very medically safe and effective throughout early pregnancy, but there is a significant risk of criminalization in many U.S. states. While it is impossible to fully eliminate the risk of criminalization when having or planning to have an abortion at home, t

[kickerofelves]

Leave no online footprint of searches or purchases. Digital Defense Fund’s abortion privacy guide is your go-to resource for this. Using private browsers, two-factor authentication, encrypted messaging, strong passwords, etc. is critical. Google searches have been presented as evidence in an SMA trial before. Do not leave a digital trail.

Use the medications properly to prevent interactions with healthcare providers. The pills are very effective, but they have to be used right. Carefully follow the instructions provided on the How to Use Abortion Pill website. Note that misoprostol tablets should always be taken by dissolving them under the tongue. Do NOT insert misoprostol vaginally if you are self-managing an abortion. While this is medically safe, it can leave incriminating pill remnants that can be detected in the vagina during a pelvic exam if you end up needing to seek medical care. 

If it’s not an emergency but you need expert health advice, use a free calling service like Google Voice to call or text the Miscarriage + Abortion Hotline at 1-833-246-2632. Medical complications are very uncommon with abortion pills, but they’re not impossible. The M+A Hotline is safe to use and is staffed by trustworthy clinicians who volunteer their time to help those who choose SMA. Do not use your own phone number to call as this will create a record that is visible to your cell service provider. 

Don’t disclose any information about SMA to emergency room staff if you do need to seek medical care. This is how most people who are arrested for SMA are reported. Healthcare providers are almost always who calls the police in cases of SMA criminalization. Contrary to popular belief, HIPAA does not protect your private health information from being shared with police if you are suspected of doing something that could be considered a crime. If you believe you need to seek urgent medical care, do not hesitate to go. Say “I think I’m having a miscarriage” and provide your symptoms. Do not mention any use of or purchase of abortion pills. There is no widely available test to detect misoprostol in your bloodstream. If you do not disclose it, there is no way for a medical provider to tell the difference between a medication abortion and a spontaneous miscarriage.

Do not talk to the cops. Period. Do. Not. Talk. To. The. Cops. If you are questioned by police you should state, “I am exercising my right to remain silent, and I wish to speak with an attorney.” Do not speak again or nod in response to a question. Contact the Repro Legal Helpline as soon as possible for expert legal advice: 1-844-868-2812. Do not agree to questioning or speak to any law enforcement official without a lawyer present.

How much growth is required to achieve good lives for all? Insights from needs-based analysis

Some narratives in international development hold that ending poverty and achieving good lives for all will require every country to reach t

[sd-d0-l1y]

The conclusion, and one of the harder hitting parts of the article. Solving poverty does not require complex solutions and long timeframes.

[theunusualchameleon]

I'm reminded of that one part in Frederick Douglass's autobiography where he gets to the north for the first time and assumed, since they didn't have slaves, that everyone was about as poor as non-slaveowning white southerners. And they weren't! There were poor people, sure, but there were lots of people living very comfortably or in luxury.

He mentions how angry it made him, that not only were thousands and thousands of people suffering to create luxury for a few, but that slavery wasn't even necessary for wealth to exist. That's really stuck with me.

screenshot of a tweet by @pot8um: “Does anyone have that recent study that determined all 8 billion of us could be easily housed and fed with only 30% of the current global labor output and that our collective suffering is manufactured by capitalism...”

reply by @jasonhickel: “Yes: sciencedirect.com/... [a url that is cut off in the screenshot]” and an attached image of text:

“With this approach, good lives can be achieved for all without requiring large creases in total global throughput and output. Provisioning decent living standards (DLS) for 8.5 billion people would require only 30% of current global resource and energy use, leaving a substantial surplus for additional consumption, public luxury, scientific advancement, and other social investments. Such a future requires planning to” [text is cut off here].

Second image transcription:

Poverty is not an intractable problem that requires complex solutions, long timeframes and large increases in production and throughput that conflict with ecological objectives. The solution is straightforward. We need to actively plan to shift productive capacities away from capital accumulation and elite consumption in order to focus instead on the goods and services that are necessary to meet human needs and enable decent living for all, while ensuring universal access through public provisioning systems. We have framed this work around the concept of human needs, following the recent literature. However it is important to underscore that this approach is ultimately about far more than just satisfying material requirements for human well-being. Achieving decent-living for all is critical to enabling broader human capabilities, individual and collective self-realisation, full participation in society and politics and, ultimately, freedom.

18+ 616 Steve/Tony Discord Book Club: Nomad

In honor of our @niche616exchanges and its current theme Don't Call Me Captain, You Gave Me A Home will spend this summer (re)-running various Captain America Book Clubs that showcase Steve Rogers not being Captain America. And we're starting with a classic: Nomad!

Yes, we're reading the famed 1974 arc by Steve Englehart and Sal Buscema once again. We are reading Cap v1 #176-183 (and Avengers v1 #131 for the Nomad cameo) but this is all spinning out of the events of Secret Empire (original flavor) in which Steve watches Richard Nixon betray the entire country and then commit suicide -- if you want to read all of that, you can start with Cap #169.

But we know you're really here for this guy:

Watch him sulk! Watch him sew his own costume! Watch him sulk more!

And the best thing about his costume? Tony likes it!

Come join us on You Gave Me A Home, an 18+ comics Steve/Tony Discord server! We are still located at discord.gg/stevetony.

since becoming a barista i have noticed a few very distinct typologies among my customers. such as:

the woke left: young and fashionable. visible tattoos. often enjoys matcha, lavender flavoring, oat milk, and cold foam. pretty decent customers.

sweet old man: drinks very sweet iced lattes, pays in cash, puts all of his change in the tip jar. sometimes orders hot coffee and i get scared that his shaky old man hands will spill it and he'll get burned but that has not yet happened and god willing never shall.

evil old man: only wants drip coffee and declares it ridiculous that any other form of coffee exists. some variants only want americanos and these variants are even scarier. watch out.

sweet old woman: might need her daughter's help to order but is very bubbly and open to trying new things. compliments baristas freely and frequently.

evil old woman: does not want coffee and only wants sweet tea or soda. will not tip even if she spends three hours in the shop repeatedly asking baristas to fetch things for her.

errand husband: either stiltedly recites an order to you or shows you the order in their texts/notes app. needs to step out of line and make a phone call if you ask any follow-up questions.

grindset girlie: always wearing scrubs, an apron, and/or a name tag. orders the exact same thing every day and knows the exact change she'll need to pay for it. her regular order is both extremely caffeinated and extremely sweet.

#mamabear: is actively wrangling two to four children while ordering. order changes repeatedly because the children cannot decide if they want a muffin or a cookie or apple juice or chocolate milk etc. for some reason these women are always wearing an article of clothing or carrying some personalized item that says "mama" on it.

schoolchildren: band of two to eight adolescents hanging out after school. extremely indecisive but generally quite polite and tip well.

amnesiac in love: grown adult who needs their partner to tell them what they like. gets asked a question about their own preferences and turns to their partner to answer for them. generally acts like a shy child looking to their guardian for behavioral cues if you try to interact with them and only wants to talk to mommy i mean their wife.

this of course is not an exhaustive list but those are just some of the most consistent Types i get. ok bye xoxo

if your politics is based on hatred that you feel you've earned instead of compassion you will ALWAYS find an excuse to hurt the vulnerable, and you'll convince yourself that it's deserved.

you want the catharsis that comes with hurting someone Back, to give to another person what you've received. but you will Never have access to the powerful. the people you can hurt the most effectively are those victims of circumstance and society that can BE hurt.

if you don't become self aware of this then you will live your life making the world more miserable for everyone in it, and it will Never give you the freedom that you want from it

Previous anon should quit his ass and take his movie collection.

Vanilla protein shake chugged (it tastes like vanilla bean ice cream, which is excellent but they were out of my precious strawberry so I am suffering). Also my butt hurts from working out on Saturday.

a few great mustache movies off the top of my head include the prisoner of zenda, dr. zhivago, the thin man, and the batman movie from 1966, because cesar romero famously was so attached to his mustache he refused to shave it to play the Joker in the Batman series, which means that when you're watching his joker there is a mustache there somewhere under the paint, and its absence makes its presence all the more horrifying.

i fear people online are losing track of whyyy ai is being criticised in the first place & turning it into reasons to be hypercritical of artists & writer's work in comments sections online. its bad because corporations are using it to replace paying for people's skills & expertise. its bad because it's profiting off of other people's work without knowledge or consent. it's bad for the environmental damage & huge consumption of water & the exploitation of workers in the global south. not bcs an artist online draws a hand badly or uses an abstract metaphor you don't understand in their writing
