I’ve Come To A Realization…

if you are a USAmerican and care about any of the following:

fandom spaces and activities, such as shipping, fanart, fanfiction, and more

the LGBTQ+ community

sexism, feminism

racisism, racial equality

the genocide in palestine

the things happening in sudan, congo, lebanon, yemen, etc...

equality and equity

being able to voice your opinions on the government

government transparency

your right to freedom of speech, expression, and press under the constitution

THEN PLEASE HELP STOP KOSA

so judging by how astonished people are by it every time we explain it to anybody, it seems like my wife and I might really be onto something here

during the pandemic, we invented something we call "astronaut time."

when it's astronaut time, it's like we are two astronauts wearing the big helmets, moving around the station on totally separate tasks. one of us is outside the space station and one of us is inside the space station. our radios do not work and we have no way of communicating with each other. we might see each other through the lil porthole windows, but we ignore each other because we both have different things to do.

"astronaut time" is how we get total privacy when we live in the same apartment. I will pretend you don't exist. You will pretend I don't exist. we have a nonverbal, zero-contact signal for when astronaut time is over (usually "I'll draw a smiley-face on the whiteboard in the kitchen when I'm done"). No talking, stay out of each other's line of sight, we are actively avoiding each other, unless you are currently experiencing a medical emergency goodbye.

it has been. a godsend. imagine living with your partner and being able to close every single tab in your brain related to social interaction. no fear of being interrupted by a "hey, quick question--" or "sorry to bother you, but do you know where the scissors are?" or "did you want something to eat, too?" Once or twice a month, we look at each other lovingly, hold hands, and say "baby I think I need some astronaut time tonight," and the other person goes "okay cool. bye! have a nice night!" and nobody's feelings are hurt and we both go and have a lovely evening completely by ourselves.

like idk it's a small thing but it's made our lives so much nicer, so if you and your partner/roommate are both people who sometimes need total privacy in order to recharge, maybe try it

But in all seriousness come down to Lee High School if you want to show support, no admission needed! Just make sure you show up 30 minutes early for good parking.

Fun fact: In ‘there were no instructions or fine print’, Ingo’s Sneasel form is actually that of a juvenile. So even though his very tired adult human mind knows what he’s doing is stupid, his much younger Sneasel body sometimes just makes him go ‘WHEEEEEEEE!’

Took this from Instagram because this is urgent US folks.

You need to call and email your reps no matter if you live in a red or blue state. This cannot be allowed to pass.

It will prevent anyone who has ever changed their name from voting (including their last name)

as an avid drawer of jason todd art, i’d like to imagine that Reader would create Red Hood merch. It started by releasing fanart through the internet, setting up digital merch, then onto physical merch.

they become an icon in Gotham.

What will they release next? Did u see the new merch drop? I want that new pin!

Gothamites whisper with one another in their string of merchandise. Wondering who was this anonymous artist?

It becomes a big hit and suddenly it gets to the point where the batfam roll their eyes at the absolute Red Hood empire it created. But what can they say? They don’t know where it originated, it could be Jason, himself, for all they know.

What hasn’t he done?

Then there sits Reader, hunched in their desk chair, in house slippers wearing a Red Hood emblem shirt and one of Jason’s shorts that is way too big. Comfy, unbothered, receiving a good morning kiss from Jason after returning from a night of patrol.

They save their work, shut off the computer, and climb into bed with a freshly showered boyfriend and sleep the morning away.

Not only are they compatible in personality, but their schedules too. An artist that has a hectic sleep schedule and a vigilante that isn’t any different.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

Guys I know this is super fucking random considering I rarely ever post and just repost random shit but in light of recent events and the fact that I’m starting to get genuinely mentally exhausted and so, so tired I want to say this. What ever anyone who sees this does do not give up or give in. Trump and his lackeys are all the same in the fact that they hate being made fun of and seen as jokes. Be prepared for everything and be strong in the face of death and a onslaught of destruction but no matter what remember that you should take the threats seriously and write it down to be prepared and always laugh in their faces regardless. Show them that they are the joke and we won’t be puppets.

we are in a media literacy crisis
