Celestial Sailor Moon but this time with a trans flag!

Painted in Procreate, this is one of the quickest pieces I've finished in ages. I only started it two weeks ago. It's based on a sketch by Alphonse Mucha that you can see here.
āPeople should pass a test before being allowed to have kids.ā āIsnāt it scary how white people have this inborn capacity for evil?ā āIāll never pass because males and females have different skull shapes.ā āAutistic people have a stronger sense of justice than anyone else.ā āI donāt want AMABs in my space because theyāre dangerous.ā āYou shouldnāt have access to hormones if you dress like THAT.ā āAnyone who does something that awful isnāt human.ā āSome people really shouldnāt be allowed to vote.ā
This is eugenics. This is phrenology. THIS IS NAZI SHIT, YOU ARE A LEFTIST BUYING INTO NAZI SHIT. YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO NAZI SHIT.
It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.
And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.
I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.
Mulan AU where she does get caught by the other fresh recruits while she's bathing but Mushu helps her spin it like the lake is cursed by an evil lizard demon and will turn men into women if they stay in it for too long.
From there it's not actually difficult to get the other soldiers onboard with covering up the fact that poor Ping took one for the team and got afflicted by the vagina curse, especially since it would have been all of them if they hadn't gotten the warning ahead of time. So they agree to help him cover it up, because obviously the army's not going to understand.
Shang is... tentatively glad that the men are bonding and getting along, even if they continue to be deeply weird about it.
Mulan: Uh, what boobs? Huh? Where did these come from?
Mushu: *facepalms and thinks quickly* (speaks from the shadows) I AM THE SPIRIT OF THE LAKE! BEWARE MY CURSED WATERS FOR THEY WILL TURN MEN INTO WOMEN!
Ling, Yao, and Chien Po: Oh no! The spirit of the cursed waters!
Why is there a diarrhea parasite outbreak in America?
Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to disease prevention and control.
Why is measles back in America?
Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including RFK Jr, cut vaccine and measles prevention funding and programs.
Why is the New World Screwworm infecting cattle in Texas, when it had previously been eliminated from the area?
Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Elon Musk, cut USAID funding, which in part worked to monitor and prevent screwworm outbreaks.
Why was there a flu outbreak in our armed forces?
Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Pete Hegseth, cut vaccination requirements for our armed forces, putting all of them at risk alongside our military readiness.
What contributed to the Covid outbreak?
Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to a pandemic prevention program in his first term because Barack Obama had created it.
āAmerica firstā sends its regards. Trump voters, please learn your lesson. And if you donāt, itāll be taught to you again with yet another diarrhea outbreak.
Please give credit to Matthew Cortland, the disabled lawyer and activist whose work is reflected in that last screenshot. They work hard on documenting what Trump and his cronies have been doing & they deserve credit.
1. This was much harder to make than it looks! To achieve this resolution with an electron microscope, it took 10 seconds to capture each frame of thisĀ āvideo.ā The traditional 30 frames per second video was impossible. Instead, this is stop motion - like those Wallace and Gromit cartoons. Ben Krasnow of the youtube channel Applied ScienceĀ took a picture, moved the record slightly, then took another image and on and on. Because electron microscopes canāt image electrical insulators, he had to coat the whole thing with a thin, thin layer of silver. You can watch the whole process in this video.
2. This gif not only shows us what a record looks like up close - itās a visualization of the vibrations that make a song! If you took those wavy shapes into a digital player, you could actually hear the song being played.
Intricate Geometric Designs are Drawn With Wooden Drawing Machine
Inspired by vintage 19th century drawing machines, like the Spirograph, the Cycloid Drawing Machine composes intricate geometric designs in a limited space. With the use of no electricity or motor, the equipment comes with a base, three geared turntables, 18 gears, colored pens and test paper for customization.
What makes drops of food coloring able to dance, chase, sort themselves, or align with one another? This unexpected behavior is a consequence of food coloring consisting of two mixed liquids: water and propylene glycol. Both have their own surface tension properties and evaporation rates, which ultimately drives the behavior you see in the animations above. Both long-range and short-range interactions are observed. The former are due to vapor from each droplet adsorbing onto the glass around the droplet, thereby changing the local surface tension and causing nearby drops to feel an attractive force. The short-range effects are also surface-tension-driven. Droplets with lower surface tension will naturally try to flow toward areas of higher surface tension, which causes them to āchaseā dissimilar adjacent drops. You can learn more about the research in the videos linked below (especially the last two), or you can read about the work in this article or the original research paper. (Image credit: N.

school uniform codes extending to what colours youāre allowed to dye your hair, and what piercings you can have and stuff is so crazy. you HAVE to go to school and youāre not even allowed to have pink hair or pierce your nose about it????
āoh itās to prepare you for the workplaceā okay. i donāt think any workplace should be dictating what you can and canāt do with your body either and i think itās strange to decide to teach children that their body is not their own
