sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and put "text your friend whom you love and genuinely want to talk to" on your to-do list because otherwise it is not getting done

[crplpunkklavier]

Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation

This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones

The Trump Administration Aims to Penalize Disabled Adults Who Live With Their Families

A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipi

The Trump administration wants to make a rule change that would decrease or end benefits for SSI recipients who live with their family. As many as 400,000 disabled people may have their benefits cut if this rule change occurs.

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

It's worth noting as always that as things currently stand, the MAXIMUM benefit a person can receive from SSI is $994 a month.

If two people on SSI are married, the MAXIMUM they can receive is $1,491 a month, total, for both of them. (Meaning marriage to another SSI recipient reduces your maximum income possible to $745 a person each month.)

Could you live on that?

Could you live on that without living with family?

[gudakdalee]

The administration is working on a rule change that would deduct the value of a disabled adult’s bedroom from their SSI allotment, even if the family members they live with are poor enough to qualify for food stamps. This would mean slashing the benefits of some of the most low-income SSI recipients by up to a third — about $330 a month in Burton’s case — or ending their support altogether. The SSI rule change is being reviewed by the White House Office of Management and Budget, a process that involves editing the draft regulation and considering where it falls on the list of the president’s priorities. Once it’s returned to the Social Security Administration for initial publication, there will be an opportunity for public comment; it could take until next year to be finalized, depending on the amount of opposition it faces. (quote from article above)

AND IT NEEDS TO FACE A LOT OF OPPOSITION, SO CALL AGAIN!!

im gonna look up contact info for the office of management and budget staff, White House Budget Director Russell Vought, and Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. Bombard them. no peace for em.

I love how thus far none of the main series graphic novel artists gender the cat designs. The toms and mollies all just look like cats and you can't tell anyone's gender until it's stated. It heals something in my inner child to see that.

remake of this classic

[northclan]

In an AU where Tiny somehow joins ThunderClan, I think that for a while they would keep his kittypet name. Then change it to some more positively-associated prefix, perhaps during his warrior's ceremony. Something like "Slight-", maybe. Slightpelt? His name could be Eeldash because he's fast as hell and slippery (because of his size, he'd be a bit difficult to catch for other larger warriors).

Hm... thinking how he'd join ThunderClan, perhaps he'd somehow evade Tigerpaw's attack until a point, when he's pinned down. Bluefur steps in and argues they should bring him home, since clearly he's not an ordinary kittypet. I don't think Thistleclaw would like that but Tigerpaw being still young and easily swayed might consider Bluefur's words for a bit. I'm not sure if he'd agree with her, though, but he'd probably stop and think. I'm not a fan of representing Tigerstar, at any point of his life, as a simplistic brute. He's very intelligent, and it is showcased throughout the first arc that his ascent to power is fairly strategic for a cat seemingly obsessed with violence. He prefers not to get his own claws dirty, you can tell this when he sics the dogs on the forest, forms an allyship with BloodClan, forms TigerClan, etc.. This is a post about TC!Scourge, though, not a discussion of Tigerstar's characterization.

I really do wonder how Tiny being a ThunderClan warrior would affect the narrative of the first arc. I'm sure Rusty joining the clan would be easier for him, but perhaps Tigerclaw and his clique are still doubtful. I think the fight with Longtail can still happen. It would be really nice for Rusty to have a role model in Tiny (from now on Eeldash), considering their similar background and probably similar treatment by the clan.

Eeldash would probably be a little jealous about Firepaw having a friend in the clan, since he didn't really have any when he was his age. I imagine him functioning a bit like a more "acccessible" Whitestorm, since he's probably interested in Firepaw, again, because of their shared background of being ex-kittypets. It's likely Bluestar would assign him to be Firepaw's mentor, especially after the devastating back to back loss of two deputies (Redtail and Lionheart). Though I wonder if she'd trust Eeldash with raising the fire that was prophesied to save ThunderClan, though. Perhaps she'd have him be Firepaw's official mentor, but often tag along to trainings to watch.

Eeldash is likely to have not had an apprentice until Firepaw, or maybe if he did his apprentices wouldn't quite respect him because of his stature and background.

More to come, probably, but I'm considering still. Additions welcome :)

Pride Month Celebration Day #2: Lesbian Ships!

(I will only be including arc 1 + DOTC stuff)

Top lesbian ship: Sandstorm x Silverstream! They’ve probably never interacted but they’re both pretty buff ladies and fanfic does enough service.

Canon/closest to canon lesbian ship: Since none are actually canon, I say that Bumble x Turtle Tail is closest to canon. Turtle Tail left the clans to live with Bumble and was sad (i think) when she died.

Lesbian rarepair: Sandstorm x Ferncloud! If Firestar and Dustpelt ended up together, that leaves behind two gals that could become wives.

Least favorite (non-illegal) lesbian ship: Frostfur x Brindleface. Nothing against it, I just don’t see the vision.

Overrated but good lesbian ship: Bluestar x Yellowfang! Definitely the top lesbian ship in this series, and it’s pretty solid!

Overrated and bad (opinion wise) lesbian ship: I know Foxheart isn’t directly mentioned in arc one, but Yellowfang x Foxheart. I do not like Foxheart and refuse to believe that Yellowfang would ever love her.

Underrated lesbian ship: Yet another Yellowfang ship, Yellowfang x Russetfur! The second Russet joined the clan, I hoped that her and Yellowfang would get more pages together, but alas, it is warrior cats…

Favorite toxic lesbian ship: Violet Dawn x Star Flower. Not toxic in canon, but DEFINITELY has the potential, both being Thunderstar’s crushes. If Star Flower still loved Thunderstar and not his dad when Violet Dawn came along, they might fight for him and then fall in love…take notes fanfic writers…

Favorite doomed lesbian ship: Bumble x Turtle Tail once again…why does Skystar kill every potential for wlw???

Favorite t4t headcanon lesbian ship: tfem Brackenfur x tfem Dustpelt! Of course, warrior cats’ weird thing of making Frostfur Dustpelt’s sister makes this weird, but I’m 99% sure none of you knew that they were related. Remove the relation, perfect.

Tomorrow will be trans headcanons!

no more historic events this decade that is ENOUGH, i’m putting my foot down

History is not done with us yet my friend

I have received all manner of threat, up to and beyond “I will play a flute carved from your femur,” and yet this is the first time I’ve felt truly threatened

Happy pride month my peeps!! (Why the fuck are we half way thru the year already?)

[paper-mario-wiki]

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

Did the funny favourites trend

[podcastwizard]

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

[podcastwizard]

lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.

Day ONE of filling this with aro and/or ace characters

Starting off strong with Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary!! While he is not canonically aroace, I felt as though he’s really spearheaded the aroace community these past few months and helped many people feel seen and accepted :)

[sometiktoksarevalid]

[lostsometime]

ok sorry to double reblog BUT I just looked him up and he does these fantastic videos where he breaks down HOW he actually mimics the other artists’ styles. Like for ed Sheeran, he explains how he brings his voice forward in the mouth, while Adam Levine sings in the back of the mouth, stuff like that. It’s SO COOL, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone actually break down how to do this sort of thing, as a skill, instead of just treating it like a neat trick they just happen to be good at. https://www.tiktok.com/@justinjmooremusic

Check him out he’s so cool
