One year ago russia blew up the Nova Kakhovka dam.
I'm remembering how desperate we all felt. We were screaming about it, sharing news. This is an act of terrorism and ecocide, huge flooded areas, unimaginable consequences for people and environment. But the world didn't care. Still doesn't.
has anyone figured out how to turn off the thing where you love your pet so much it slides inexorably into grief-borrowing
āFor me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, āOf course.ā When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.ā
I will never let AI touch my art, even as it becomes more and more prevalent in todayās society. I like to think that every part of the process, from coming up with the ideas to handwriting all the words, is special because itās coming from me. I put my whole heart into my art, and I hope that it shows!
In this AI dystopia, your favorite artists need you more than ever! Join their Patreons, buy from their online stores, like or engage with their art on social media. Letās uplift human artists over AI that continues to profit off of the backs of millions of artists that it stole from.

Time for voice auditions again!! This time, the roles are:
Young Woman #1: Female-passing voice. Mostly, you'll need to do various grunting sounds for a fight scene. Hyperventilating and crying will also be involved. However, there will be a single line, very emotionally delivered.
Young Woman #2: Also female-passing, also mostly grunting, a couple lines, and hyperventilating. However, this role needs for you to be able to scream in pain. And I mean, REALLY scream.
Mantis Child: A child voice. One of the mantis nymphs, so think of the way child Sophodra's voice sounds. Several lines of dialogue for this one, but that's about it.
As before, I can't afford to pay a lot. In USD, that'll be $40 for each role. I'll keep auditions open for about a week. If you're selected, you'll have another week as deadline to get your lines in!
Make sure you have good, clear audio quality for this! Send me a test recording from the example lines listed below. You can DM me on Tumblr, Instagram, or Patreon (username for all is humansbgone). It might take me some time to get back to you. I look forward to hearing from you!
Young Woman #1 Lines:
Grunting, fighting sounds
Hyperventilating, crying
Very solemnly delivered: "Wait for me."
Young Woman #2 Lines:
Grunting, fighting sounds
Panting, out of breath: "We need a plan."
Hyperventilating in pain, turning into a scream
Mantis Child Lines:
Excitedly: "I got it, I got it!!!"
Petulantly, arguing: "No, I was gonna get it."
Incredulous, almost more of a statement: "Are you serious."
The best way to think of the holiday is not as the moment Black people attained freedom but as a moment in the struggle to realize freedom.
In this column, Charles Blow provides the historical context for Juneteenth, and the continuously "evolving" struggle for "freedom" for Black people in the U.S. This is a giftšlink, so anyone can read this entire column even if they don't subscribe to the NY Times. Below are some excerpts:
Last week at a Juneteenth concert on the South Lawn of the White House, Vice President Kamala HarrisĀ saidĀ that on June 19, 1865, after Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, āThe enslaved people of Texas learned they were free.ā On that day, she said, āthey claimed their freedom.ā [...] Although itās a mark of progress to commemorate the end of American slavery, itās imperative that we continue to underscore the myriad ways in which Black freedom was restricted long after that first Juneteenth. [...] Most Black people couldnāt claim their freedom on June 19, 1865, because their bodies (and their free will) were still being policed to nearly the same degree and with the same inveterate racism that Southern whites had aimed at them during slavery. The laws governing the formerly enslaved āwere very restrictive in terms of where they could go, what kind of jobs they could have, where they could live in certain communities,ā said Daina Ramey Berry... the author of āThe Price for Their Pound of Flesh: The Value of the Enslaved, From Womb to Grave, in the Building of a Nation.ā [...] Upon arrival in Galveston, the Union general Gordon Granger deliveredĀ General Order No. 3, which said āthe connection heretofore existingā between āformer masters and slavesā would become āthat between employer and hired laborā and that āfreedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages.ā The order also had a curious stipulation: that freedmen would ānot be supported in idleness.ā [...] A notice from GrangerĀ published days later in The Galveston Daily News informed the public that āno persons formerly slaves will be permitted to travel on the public thoroughfares without passes or permits from their employers.ā In other words, white people would still dictate where Black people could be. In 1866, a Texas state constitutional convention adopted the stateās Black Codes, codifying suffocating limits on Black autonomy. As the Texas State Library and Archives CommissionĀ describesĀ these laws:
In this way, the codes āoutlined a status for African Americans not too much removed from their earlier condition as slaves.ā Beyond this, for Black people in the 1870s, being a convict in Texas essentially meant relegation to enslavement, because that was when the stateās convict leasing program took off. [...] The question of labor is at the core of how we must understand emancipation and Reconstruction because American slavery, an entire capitalist system representing billions of dollars in wealth, was built on free Black labor, was brought to its knees and would have to be propped up; newly freed Black people were fed back to the machine to keep it running. [...] As Corey Walker, the director of the program in African American studies at Wake Forest University, emphasizes, the idea of freedom, particularly for Black people in this country, is continuously being negotiated and contested, so āJuneteenth marks a moment in the ever-evolving and expanding project of American democracy.ā āIt is,ā he said, āa project that is never complete. It is never fulfilled, even at the moment of Juneteenth. And itās one that is ever evolving to this day.ā [emphasis added]
We want to remember the good internet. The cat clips, the funny family tales, the great comic feats. The internet that makes us laugh.
That's the internet we grew up on and the the one we want want to be a part of. We know that the world wide web is not always a great place.
Its like we are full of contradictions. One moment you're laughing at a tortoise enjoying a fresh lettuce leaf, the next you stumble across some heinous hateful trash. Thats what it feels like to be online today. Your brain cannot stand this whiplash.
Sometimes we want to throw our phones into the river and be done with it all. But then we remember you, our readers. And the good internet. And that its not time to give up just yet.

I can't do this. I can't work from sun up to sun down and pretend everything is okay. What's the likelihood that the majority of society are actually brainwashed? You mean to tell me, that everyone hate work, but we're still doing it out of fear of homelessness or starvation? Like, do we not have faith in humanity? Do people actually believe that NO ONE would work (even the people who do like to work) and the world will just collapse? Are we that complicit, weak and pathetic that we HAVE to work in order to have a "decent" life? You mean NO ONE wants free stuff so they don't believe that there are people willing? I cannot imagine everyone thinking it's okay to work EVERYDAY (DAYS OFF DO NOT COUNT AS DAYS OFF, IT IS NOT ENOUGH) and just, die, trying to make a living. I would love to argue and discuss with others about this general work-related topic because I need people to understand we absolutely do not have to be like this. Things could and should get better than this. And also figure out why people riding work like an entire galaxy to explore isn't enough for humans.

WE know. It's obvious. The problem is that the people in power either don't know or don't care.
Why should we care about them caring about us? They shouldn't control anything in the first place. I will not let someone else's amount of money, or popularity, continue to dictate my life.
If humanity desperately need a leader to function, I don't blame anyone, but we should have the option to at least try to have the kind of freedom we want in our life; instead of this tantalizing work, retire (if lucky) and die routine that many many people considered to be "our freedom."
Okay so here is the point I am making ->.
.<- And this is the thing you are arguing about.
Ah, sorry! Do you mind elaborating on what you meant?

Russia's flag raised at the paralympics but Ukrainian athletes aren't allowed to wear the Ukr flag on their own damn Ukr bodies while representing Ukraine. And an Olympic athlete gets censured for his helmet.
Yeah, okay.
IPC is a fucking joke. IOC is a fucking joke. How much more is Ukraine gonna get slammed by the international community, then? How much more are Ukrainians expected to take?
Hello, my name is Saja. Iām a mother to a beautiful 8-month-old baby girl, writing this from a place I never imagined Iād be ā surrounded by destruction, holding on to my daughter while the world around us falls apart. š
We used to have a home. š A simple place, but it was filled with love. Now itās gone. What remains are memories, silence, and an overwhelming fear of what tomorrow may bring.
Each day, I wake up not knowing if we will make it through the next. My daughter should be learning to walk, to smile at strangers, to feel safe in her world ā but instead, sheās learning to live in the middle of a war zone. šļø
Iām not writing this to ask for pity. Iām sharing our truth because silence wonāt protect us. Maybe, through this message, someone will hear us ā and care. š¤
If you feel moved to share our story or offer support, it would mean more than words can say. Every kind act ripples outward. āØ

My name is Abed.
Iām a survivor from Gaza, holding on to hope in a world that has fallen apart around me. š
The life I once knew ā my home, my family, my sense of safety ā has been shattered by war. Today, I live among the ruins, trying to find a path forward through the rubble and heartbreak. š
Every moment is a battle against fear and uncertainty. What was once ordinary ā a safe place to sleep, a future to dream of ā now feels like a distant memory. šļø
I share my story not to seek pity, but to keep hope alive ā to believe that even in the darkest places, kindness can still find a way. š¤
If my story touches your heart, please consider sharing it or offering support. Every voice, every act of care, brings me one step closer to safety. āØ
