Ray found a new friend, say hi to Fat Unit everyone!

happy pride month.

in new zealand, our evil government are trying to legislate definitions of women and men, in ways that are legally incoherent but clearly trying to pave the way for more horrifically transphobic legislation. we have an election in a few months but our main opposition party, and all our mainstream news media, are so spineless and cooked that there's a good chance the ghouls will win reelection.

it took 2 whole months for local terf group 'speak up for women' to get 2,000 signatures on the petition that led to this new bill in our parliament.

it's taken five days for this pro-trans 'they don't speak for us' petition to get 17,000 signatures.

this is a show of support that is really heartening for a lot of trans people in our corner of the world.

cis/ish women, if you're from here but haven't signed yet, please do. and if you're not from here and you know any new zealanders, could you send them this petition? a full fifth of our population lives overseas, and there's a good chance they don't follow the news.

Ok I initially wanted to add in Knuckles here for this prompt but I was like. No you know what would be funnier. If they had like a road bump and had no idea where they were walking instead. I'm sure that's happened before to them 😭

Mighty and Ray Week: Day 3 - Trust

A stranger offers their hand to help, and in turn asks for trust. Ive always wondered, how did Mighty and Ray meet? Outside the Archie comics anyway since that ain't canon, I'd like to think it was similar in a way to how Sonic and Tails met, not one for one, but one younger kid being alone as the older kid comes by to save their day and change their life

Magic Arena developers say they were told to relocate or effectively lose their jobs

It's one of many reasons that workers tell Polygon they are eager to unionize.

Employees and developers working on Magic: The Gathering Arena say they were hired with promises of remote flexibility, so they bought homes and built lives around those assurances. But they say they are now being told they may need to relocate to Washington state — or effectively lose their jobs.

Those concerns are a major reason why a supermajority of workers on the Arena team are attempting to unionize with the Communications Workers of America, under the banner United Wizards of the Coast. The group publicly launched its campaign on April 27, calling on Wizards of the Coast and parent company Hasbro to voluntarily recognize the union by May 1.

[apricops]

These employees are doing important and laudable work in response to being forced into a bad situation but I’m glad they still took the opportunity to call themselves “United Wizards”

[basic-bamboo]

WotC has still refused to recognize the union and has escalated to sending organizers letters directly to their homes about how unionizing is a bad idea. Luckily, our United Wizards are educated, organized, and agitated and the form letter from Hasbro was as laughable as it was threatening.

If you want to help out the United Wizards you can sign this petition

Another unit for my future Virtualetta webcomic, Milky Mirage! Indie and Charlotte!

Indigo “Indie” Charles | Pierrot

Style: Circus Chic

Colors: Apple Red (Main) Sky Blue and Sunny Yellow (Accent)

Weapon: “Jokers Bells”

Aspect Color: Apple Red

A hyperactive and cheerful 18-year-old girl. Indie always seems give off gremlin energy, unironically. Since she’s a 2*Star Virtualetta, she can alter small features of her base V-Jewel/Coord. So she swapped out her glass eye for one with a different colored iris (the one on the right) and put on the white face paint. She’s always at 100% all the time, just a ball of pure energy. She was in the circus with her family as an acrobat, before she was a Virtualetta. Always loved entertaining others, and is known for her catchphrase, “Why frown, when you can clown around?”

Charlotte Monet | Jinx

Style: Vibrant Witchy

Colors: Amethyst (Main) Aquamarine and Spinel (Accent)

Weapon: “Spellbound Baton”

Aspect Color: Amethyst

A very monotone and chill 19-year-old. She’s definitely a girl of few words, rarely showing excessive emotion, besides the spaced-out look she usually has. She’s still very compassionate, despite her monotone speech. Charlotte has always been interested in fantasy witchcraft and sorcery, which has caused her to obviously adopt a witchy persona herself. She's at least 6 feet tall, so literally the definition of a gentle giant. She’s a 2*Star Virtualetta like her partner Pierrot.

Got to remember to focus on kindness. Seek it out. Notice it when it happens. Spent too long attaching ourselves to the cruelty of the world, so much so that we couldn't appreciate the rest of it, but there is so much more to the world than cruelty. There's love, kindness, good food, good music, creativity and beautiful animals. That will never go away. The indomitable human spirit and all that.

[sadhoc]

there is a very real tendency of teenagers with anxiety disorders self diagnosing with considerably more stigmatized and impairing mental illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia, DID, personality disorders), but the best response to that isn't to get angry with them for "appropriating" lol. instead you show them coping resources for the problems they're actually having and deemphasize diagnostic categories in general. if an 18 year old is claiming to have alzheimer's, they're probably making an innocent mistake and are in genuine distress. be kind.

[mariaalenkoshepard]

Also I think this trend comes, at least in part, from how brushed aside anxiety disorders can be. If your parents and teachers dismiss you with 'oh everyone feels anxious', then inevitably you're going to start thinking that there must be something else going on with you

[lightblueminecraftorchid]

”You must feel very scared right now; let’s talk about how to help you personally, tailored to your symptoms” will always be more helpful than “stop faking (X) for attention”. If theyre that desperate for attention or an explanation, something is wrong.
