I think so many people forget making the world a better place isn’t just about having all the ‘correct’ sociopolitical opinions and beliefs and knowing all the theory it’s also hugely about actually being a good person in your everyday actions… acts of kindness and empathy, going out of your way to help others, small moments of connection in a cold world, loving thy neighbour all that

extremely funny to me to imagine jim Kirk (Spock’s husband) finally experiencing Spock’s secretiveness about his family from the OTHER side and constantly having to deal with people who’ve known Spock for 10+ years freaking out bc Spock made an offhand comment about having a husband

So I was listening to ‘No One Mourns the Wicked’ and it just hit me that Glinda has to be absolutely devastated during that number because the best friend she has ever had has just died, as far as she knows, but she promised Elphie that she wouldn’t try to clear Elphie’s name so Glinda just has to stand there and listen to all of these people celebrate the fact that her best friend is dead and I am not okay

one of the weirdest things about the Wicked musical is that it’s so fucking tragic, but it disguises itself as this happy, inspiring, family-fun show

Glinda is being cheesy and charming in the opening number, but yeah, she’s devastated. when she starts telling the story of Elphaba’s life? it’s so sad. but they hold the baby up and people chuckle because it’s this weird looking green doll

yeah Defying Gravity is this huge inspirational ballad but their goodbye in the middle and Glinda’s last “i hope you’re happy” as one of the last lines of the act is just? so painful?

The Wizard and I has so much irony and foreshadowing that it’s easy to forget how eager and devoted Elphaba was, and how she never really had a chance. Thank Goodness is one of the most heartbreaking songs I’ve ever heard, but Glinda’s moment of pain and vulnerability is sung to herself, immediately covered by a big smile and a celebration

“I’ve had so many friends, but only one that mattered” gets the audience laughing, and you don’t always feel the full weight of it. I mean, Glinda’s entire character is tragedy wrapped up in a pretty smile.

basically if you read between the lines or look at this show past face value in any way at all, it’s absolutely heartbreaking and don’t worry friend i’m not okay either

There’s a moment in No One Mourns the Wicked when Glinda sings (in echo of the rejoicing ensemble) “she died alone” and it is just so mournful and haunting

Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

Current as of November 21st 2024

A bill, HR 9495, which would allow a presidentially appointed treasury secretary to unilaterally strip a nonprofit of its status if deemed a

the-pen-pot

"As written, it would allow the Secretary of the Treasury to revoke the tax-exempt status of "terrorist supporting organizations"—no evidence or explanation is required. Notably, status can be revoked even if the "support" is not intentional or connected to violence. If the tax-exempt organization couldn't prove its case to the Treasury, it would have to go to court, essentially flipping the script on the current scheme."

If HR9495 passes, charitable organizations that are involved in issues around women’s reproductive rights, serving immigrants and refugees, working on issues related to wars and victims of wars, and even issues around equity, could potentially be deemed as terrorists or domestic terrorists.

It's already passed in the house. You need to call your senator and let them know your concerns and that you do not want this to go further.

For Americans, I need you to understand what this means in the hands of the incoming administration.

Does AO3 host stories written by Palestinian authors? Then it's a terrorist organization. Done.

AO3 is at some risk, and as most of us in this corner of Tumblr are here for fandom, so that's what first comes to mind. But this bill, if made law, would be used to destroy nonprofits like the ACLU, GLAAD, the World Wildlife Fund - the list goes on.

US Americans, contact your senators. Even if you know they're going to vote No, contact them anyway and THANK THEM.

This is where we are. Anti-trans pogroms have begun and the community is living in fear. Things are so bad that some of us are unable to live anymore.

Where is the left? Where are our allies?

HR 9495 is going back up for voting. All non-profit orgs are in danger.

Under H.R. 9495, any tax-exempt organization that criticizes the government could have its status stripped away arbitrarily by a designation

The Committee on Rules is meeting at 1600 EST on 18 Nov 2024. The agenda includes HR 9495.

If this bill passes, the Secretary of the Treasury would have the power to strip any non-profit group of it's tax-exempt status with no due process.

If you are part of the fandom community and you are in America, please contact your reps and ask them to vote NO on HR 9495.

If 5000 people donated just 1$ each, it can save my career and life

Im an artist and I'll draw everyone who donates to me even if its 1$

Hi guys,

Im smir im an 18 year old University student i live alone and doing art is my only source of income

The past 2 months have been very hard for me and i am now late on all the bills but my biggest problem rn is that i might be expelled from my university if I don't pay the tution fee in 3 days as im already late for it

I know joining a college with weak financial condition was very risky move for me but it was my dream college and i didn't expect all the bad things that happened the past month

For me the college is my last hope for my future career as well because I can't be doing art for my whole life because just like this anything can go wrong and since i live alone college is my last hope for my life

I dont like asking for free money especially on the internet, this is a very tough situation for me so i will draw a sketch of everyone who donates to me 1$

I will draw a quick 10 min sketch to a detailed 90 min sketch depending on the amount

And if you want a sketch like the 1st,4th and 5th images above (sketch with some text on it)

I have created a seperate commision section for it as well

https://ko-fi.com/smir7/commissions

If you want a simple normal potrait like the 3rd image you can donate any amount to me on this link and I'll draw it https://ko-fi.com/smir7

I'll be forever grateful for everyone who donates and I'll make sure to draw a nice sketch for you

Please don't worry that i might not have time for doing your commision , im ready to work hard for a few weeks i can take as many commisions and sketches rn , it will be a busy 2 weeks from now but I'll draw all the requests without any exception

I will send a high resolution printable pic for all the sketches and commisions
