Pics of my Pride flag quilt top! I designed it myself, and tried to use as many distinct fabrics as I could except where I didn't have enough of a single color (looking at you, purple and brown). Size is about 60 x 90 inches. Now just waiting on the backing fabric (which I am soooo excited about). Not sure how I'm going to quilt it yet, but I am not very skilled so something extremely basic. Enjoy!

If you were one of those kids from a household with food insecurity that got shelf stable food to bring home during school holidays and weekends through some sort of program at your public school and you were embarrassed about lugging it around throughout the school day, I want you to know that my dumbass never put it together that this was a program for low income families, elementary school me would look over and think “Damn, she’s got Goldfish and canned ravioli and those little juice barrel drinks. My parents don’t let me have Goldfish and canned ravioli and those little juice barrel drinks. I’m so jealous.”

"Oh, Lord Vader thinks I'm too critical --that's another fault of his." - Emperor Palpatine

The late Padme Amidala was well-known for her work as both queen and senator of Naboo. As sharp-witted as she was beautiful, she fought for the welfare of all and opposed war at every chance, which in turn gained her popularity among the citizens. Her untimely passing was a devastating blow to many, often likened to the loss of a bright star in the galaxy.

Some time after the Imperial Prince and Princess made themselves known, they revealed their connection to Senator Amidala along with her secret marriage to Lord Vader. The backlash of this discovery was undoubtedly softened by the public’s adoration for the twins; any strong reactions regarding Amidala’s union with Lord Vader was soon dispelled, and whatever uncertainty that lingered in the aftermath was left unspoken.

~~~

Here is Padme's portrait for the AU! I'm not sure how many paintings Vader would have of her since it could be a touchy subject, but for the sake of his kids, I imagine he'd commission at least a few XD

cracking myself up thinking about the movement towards simplified forms in cave paintings

grug: grug must paint every hair on buffalo in realistic detail

thog: grug can chill out, audience know what buffalo look like. just do one line like thog

rathayibacter

thog: cave painting world no longer look for photorealism. expression of form and movement is new frontier

grug: but then how will grug demonstrate high level of skill? grug have art degree

thog: any caveman represent buffalo as it is. grug must represent what it means to grug

grug: hm. this will challenge grug. but grug enjoy rising to occasion

The mythical disabled person who is so disabled that everyone consistently supports and accommodates them without question is a straw man which only exists as a hypothetical for the political purpose of denying real disabled people care while still being able to argue that said care would be accessible to disabled people who "actually deserves it"

idk what neurodivergent young adult needs to hear this but you are NOT supposed to give 100% at your job. I've gotten more promotions and raises since I started giving 40-60%, which my evil CEO uncle informed me is what bosses actually expect when they say 110%. My mental health has improved tremendously. I've spent 2 out of 5 workdays secretly writing my novel for the last 2 years and I've never been more respected and appreciated. Also--when you see glaring wasteful errors in the company's operating systems, say absolutely nothing! Embrace inefficiency. It is your friend in this capitalist hellscape.

Disabled people can be complete and utter assholes btw. They can have the absolute worst opinion ever and that doesn’t not give you the right to speculate on the validity of their disability. Disabilities aren’t some god given gift only granted to those with pious hearts or some shit. Anyone can be disabled, no matter what horrible takes they may have.

for the lovely lovely deafies out there who want to get involved in direct action you absolutely 100% cannot ever bring a hearing aid or cochlear implant with bluetooth to any direct action. bluetooth devices all carry a unique signal that can be used to identify you if it's picked up at a direct action. go with a [more] hearing buddy and communicate in sign language. if you don't mutually know a sign language then come up with gestures. do not risk your freedom because you want to have your hearing aid/cochlear implant at the action. it's not worth it.

flock cameras are also now tracking bluetooth device signatures when you pass them. if you drive past a flock camera with your bluetooth-enabled hearing aid or cochlear implant, the flock camera knows you passed through

Wait I just realized this is gonna apply to all cgms and most if not all insulin pumps. They’re all Bluetooth devices, it’s essential to how they work

I did not think it possible, but I have just developed even more hatred, derision, and contempt for the perpetual surveillance state.

TIL in 1896 a temporary, one-day city was named in Texas called Crush, where two locomotives were to be smashed head-on for purposes of spectacle. It was, for a few hours, the 2nd largest city in TX with 40k attendees. The collision caused engine boilers to explode, resulting in death and injuries.
