You can replace [ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY] with [SCROLLING] but watch out. This sucks bad 👍

Some things about this post since getting quite a few notes:

1. If you see this post, highly recommend taking it as an opportunity to set a timer for 15 minutes and switch over to ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY. if after those 15 minutes, you want to go back to scrolling, that's okay!

2. Huge shout out to this popping up in my notifs often, bc I do go back to activity.

3. I think there are times where scrolling is fine. Right now, for example, I'm being connected to a machine for two hours to donate plasma and platelets. Yes this is a brag but it is also a time where scrolling is one of the few things I can do. (Though I will probably also read or watch something on phone lol)

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.

ya whats crazy about I Who Have Never Known Men is that the evidence for all the answers to what happened couldve been right in front of her face and she wouldnt KNOW because she doesnt KNOW anything!!! when she was like "there were some weird science tools in this bunker. idk what they were" i was like ok that was prob part of the answer but we only have her words to describe things to us, the readers

CELEGORM THE FAIR

latest finished commission of Celegorm in full Fëanorians-in-Beleriand getup, and this is probably the most ‘illustration’ style commission I’ve done so far: I loved the brief specifying the style of the earrings and I have been wanting to do armour again since my Eönwë commission. I also enjoyed the challenge of balancing a slightly feral look with the militaristic attire, plus balancing a ‘silver’ Celegorm with steel armour and gold+red accents as per the commissioner’s headcanon!

Ooooh I just learned that Quenya has the phrase "carina nilmen" which is a reply to "thank you" meaning more or less "you're welcome/no problem" but it literally means "done for friendship" and ooooooh. Oh.

I love thins language. I love this Discord.
