Mousegirl May Day 2: Computer

Beeps and boops, squeaks and squooks <3

[ID: a sketch of a robotic anthropomorphic mouse girl. She is inspired by old computers, and has an old computer for a head. The screen is black with a green face. Her whiskers are antennae with red lights on the ends. Her whole body is a faded gray-tan with a slightly darker gray-tan for her joints. Her tail ends in a computer mouse. A few parts of her have light orange stripes.]

Same but also with people in their 20s or 30s+ who just discovered drawing as a hobby and are also basically beginners

[jelly-belly-fish]

To all my followers who are learning to draw, regardless of your age…

Don’t give up. Don’t let those haters and trolls get you down. Your style is beautiful. Just keep going. You’re doing amazing, sweeties.

I love stuff like this. Didn’t a tribe in Africa send America some cows after 9/11? Like this is holy and the most valuable thing we have. We hear your suffering and want to do anything in our power to help

It was not a potato famine. The famine didn’t happen because of the potato yeald failing. Ireland was actually producing more than enough food. However it was almost all land owned by Brittish landowners, who took all of the food out of the country to sell in UK. Potato was what the Irish farmers ate, because it was cheep and could be produced in worst parts of the land, where more profitable food couldn’t be grown. When there were no longer potatos, the decision for the farmers was to either starve and sent the food as rent to the landlords or loose their homes and then starve.

The Brittish goverment was unwilling to do anything for two reasons. First was the laissez-faire capitalistic ideology, that put the rights of property owners to make profits above human lives. Rent freeze was unthinkable and they even were unwilling to do proper relief efforts as free food would lower the cost of food. The second reason was distain for the Irish, and the thought that they were “breeding too much” and the famine was a natural way to trim down the population, aka genocidal reasoning.

This is why it’s important to stress it was not a potato famine. The potato blinght was all over Europe but only in Ireland there was a famine. The reasons behind it had nothing to do with potatos and everything to do with the Brittish.

Apparently what made Choctaw want to offer relief to Irish was the news about the Doolough Tragedy. Hundreds of starving people were gathered for inspection to verify they were entitled to recieve relief. The officials would for *some reason* not do that and instead left to a hunting lodge 19 kilometers away to spend the night and said to the starvqing people they would have to walk there by morning to be inspected. The weather conditions were terrible and many of them died completely needlessly during the walk thoroung day and night.

This apparently reminded the Choctaw of their own very recent (and much more explicit and bigger scale) experiences of ethnic clensing, where they were forcibly relocated. It was basically a death march and thousands of Choctaw died from the terrible conditions also completely needlessly.

In 2015 a memorial named Kindred Spirits was installed in Southern Ireland to commemorate the Chactow donation.

All 44 MILLION flipnotes that had been posted to Flipnote Hatena back in the early 2010s have been restored. ALL OF THEM!

I accidentally found this out today. I had no clue this archive project was even a thing in the works. I checked the website and was able to find every single flipnote animation I ever posted.

Flipnote Hatena was such a huge part of my childhood and my journey with art. It was also what got me through some of the first years of my parents' divorce as a child. As a clinically depressed kid having to switch between houses every week, flipnotes had been my lifeline. They had been my everything in middle school. And now I have all of my flipnotes again, and readily available online at that. This is the best gift I could have gotten this christmas, especially after accidentally deleting years ago one of the animations I had cherished. The archive project has also gotten enough funds to keep the project going through to 2024, but you can donate to their Ko-fi if you want to keep the archive up even longer.

I never would have thought I'd ever get to see all of these animations again. 12 Terabytes of data containing 44 million flipnotes made by 1.2 million kids over a decade ago. I didn't even know this was possible!

If you want to watch the animations in the archive, here is the website.
