I don’t know if anyone active still follows me, but if you’re interested, I’m becoming more active on instagram with my art.

I’ve become a peer support specialist, where I use my history with mental illness to help folks who are in a crisis residential facility. I really like it so far. It’s sort of similar to what I did here and on iFunny and I’ve taken a step back from both because I’ve been so busy. I probably won’t be returning to iFunny as it’s a complete toxic mess and has been for awhile. I’ll keep my tumblr up for now. Maybe someday I’ll get the urge to come back and post more regularly!

Feel free to contact me through message here, or go check out my instagram at instagram.com/EtherealEunoia8 and message me there!

I cannot stress this enough: The moment you are able to safely explore LGBTQ communities and history outside of Tumblr and the Internet, please do so.

Today I learned

[ouijubell]

Free Audiobooks and Ebooks on OVERDRIVE.

Free Graphic Novels (DC, Marvel, Image, etc), Music, TV shows, and music on HOOPLA.

Free music that you can KEEP on FREEGAL

You are PAYING for all this with your tax money - USE THEM. Most likely systems will have all 3 or 2 out of 3, so if you aren’t sure call your local library’s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.

[horrorinthegraveyard]

Hey, highkey from a library worker: 

Overdrive has a new mobile app called LIBBY I find it easier to use.  It’s the same content as Overdrive just better for mobile.  Overdrive and Libby both let you send items to your kindle as well.  

[tusks-and-tonics-deactivated202]

Can confirm Overdrive is amazing. 

I work in the largest library system in my state (17 branches in total).

I use it not only for ebooks, but movies as well.

Other FREE resources to check with your library for are:

Freegal Music (download and keep music, including current music)

Hoopla Digital (borrow ebooks, e-audiobooks, e-graphic novels, stream movies)

Kanopy (stream movies; also available on Roku!)

Axis360 (usually hot or just released ebooks)

If you don’t have a library card…

GET ONE!

If someone says libraries are a thing of the past…

BOOP THEM IN THE NOSE WITH YOUR KINDLE!

Don’t discount libraries as “quiet” places. 

THEY ARE ALIVE!!!

THEY ARE LOUD!!!

THEY ARE YOUR DOORWAYS TO KNOWLEDGE!!

[yeahiwasintheshit]

no need to give your money to any of those places, go to your library!!

kanopy is great!

Since I hit my latest goal on patreon, I can now post longer comics on Saturdays. When I reach my next goal, I can add even more things to the project. If you want to help, you can pledge for just 1$ here, and in exchange, you’ll get access to a completely different project where I attempt to create the coziest/warmest art collection on the internet.

Sometimes I think of how we went from the simple little line “you’re gonna love my boyfriend” in Paranorman (2012) which felt groundbreaking in children’s media at the time (and ticked off a fair number of people who consider lgbt+ content too ‘adult’ for children asfsdf)

To actual gay weddings in Steven Universe and Arthur, to openly gay and affectionate dads in She-Ra…

Progress for lgbt+ representation is slow and there’s always backlash and opposition. But it feels like there’s hope and I’m so happy lgbt+ and queer kids get to see themselves in media.

Okay but after seeing this I started doing it too and it’s amazing how many men I’ve run into bc they expected me to move

[youcangofindatree-deactivated20]

Gotta try it

[clevermanka]

I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.

[emmagrant01]

Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.

Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”

[mercurialkitty]

I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.

[songbirde108]

Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.

[onethingconstant]

Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.

I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.

I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.

Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

WALK LIKE YOU’VE BEEN SENT TO MURDER CAPTAIN AMERICA

[retroasgardian-deactivated20180]

[spiduhgirl]

It’s called the Murder Strut.

[elegantmess100]

IT’S BACK!!!!!! I was searching for this to show my daughter the other day and couldn’t find it. I’m so glad IT’S BACK!! I will always reblog the Murder Strut!!

[b3gayd0crim3]

A guy on a bike went around me because he could tell I had no intention of moving. Thanks to this post.

[linkedsoul]

One day and I bumped into a guy while doing the Murder Strut and he apologized to me even though I was the one who had bumped into him.

It works wonders.

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

In case you were wondering, yes you can do this in a wheelchair. Same look in your eyes and let ‘em know you will run them down. Just picture yourself in a sports car accelerating towards someone with the intention of flattening them.

If there’s anything more satisfying than watching Abled men leap out of my way when they realize I’m not moving for them, I can’t think of it atm.

[chasing-asterion]

[seperis]

Walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

Wheel like you’re gonna win the Indy 500 and don’t care how.

Your crutches are short swords; walk like you can see them buried in the bodies of anyone who crosses (in front of) you.

I had never seen these updates to the Patriarchy Chicken Game before and they are all a goddam DELIGHT

[afronerdism]

This is so funny. Can you imagine a bunch of nerds just barreling into a crowd doing the “murder walk” and marveling at the miracle of people moving out the way? This is really cute tho like genuinely it made me smile but I promise if you just walk with confidence you’ll be ok

Hey if you’re doing anti-ICE actions even with above ground groups like Never Again, don’t talk about being there on the internet.

Being effective means minimizing state repression. Don’t snitch on yourself and your friends so you can show up another day.

[heterophobicmaxanne]

also do not under any circumstances stream live videos on twitter, instagram or facebook or post pictures from the protests showing non-pixelated photos of participants. police and other law enforcement institutions do monitor social media, and if you’re a dumbass who does these things for social media clout and so your friends can see how radical and cool you are, you are putting yourself and others in danger.

Caption printed over two photos of thee baby deer huddled together in the grass: It’s baby deer season, which means you may come across one (or more!) fawns hiding in the grass. They look completely abandoned and alone, and you might think you need to save them.

In fact, mother deer know an adult deer standing in one spot all day gives away her baby’s position to hungry predators, but alone a baby deer is nearly invisible. Mother deer leave their fawns alone for four or more hours at a time and only return to feed them before leaving them safely hidden again. Even if it seems the fawn has been alone all day, its mom is almost definitely coming back! If she doesn’t, another mother may adopt the orphaned fawn. Please leave them alone! Every year wildlife offices and animals rescues get hundreds of calls about “abandoned fawns.” Even worse, people (illegally) take these fawns from their mothers, thinking they are doing the right thing! Please reblog, repost, and educate your family and friends! The fawns and their mamas will all appreciate your effort!! Thank you!

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

I should say another mother deer may adopt the orphan. We have observed this happening. But this is still.important info! Thanks!

[honuofhawaii]

Also I’m not sure if this part is true, but I’ve heard anicdodical evidence that if people start touching a fawn thinking it abandoned, the human sent will be on them and may lead to them actually being abandoned by their mothers. Again not positive, but just something to keep in mind.

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Happily, no! This is not actually an issue, so if anyone handles or touches a fawn thinking they are helping, they can put the fawn back where they found it, and the mother will take back over.
