Bee/Wasp appreciation post
based upon this very edgarcore instrument
Am trying to make a Wings of Fire picrew but got caught up in making a new character and designing her mom
(this was directly inspired by others such as @nonbiney-swag-competition and @autismswagsummit !)
contest will be held in the traditional tournament bracket format, with (hopefully) fair match ups that don't pit the most iconic robots out there with mr. literally who tf are you.
i will TRY MY BEST to get said match ups right but i MIGHT fuck it up. if so i'm sorry
robot swag being included in the title does not necessarily mean the robot has to have swag. the robot in question could be the most pathetic wet cat you've ever seen, and they could contest here. this is just for robots in general!
if you need to ask "does this character count as a robot?" when submitting a nomination, the answer is probably yes. don't think about it too hard
polls will last 24 hours each!
i made this contest with FICTIONAL robots in mind, but real ones can be included too!
i'll likely be restricting things to one robot per media, sorry for anyone who wanted glados vs wheatley action!
as for contestants, i'll mostly let the public decide, but i might sneak in a few of my own nominations! i've got 32 slots to fill, so get nominating!
I know you have all probably seen the esims for gaza posts circulating. Some of you have probably looked at them and thought maybe you should help out, but have weighed up the daunting process of signing up for something you're unfamiliar with vs. the gut-wrenching scale of the things people are going through on the ground right now, and you've put it off or questioned whether it will make enough of a difference vs. some other future kind of activism you could put that $6+ towards. I'm not calling you out or scolding you, it is natural to feel conflicted and ambivalent about the multiple calls for aid that you are seeing on social media.
but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.
telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.
many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.
please, please visit gazaesims.com and spend 5 minutes and $6 to change the way this plays out for everyone.
Wait. They aren’t jokes. You guys really keep dozens of tabs open on your browser forever.
he sounds ok
happy anniversary to the og
Heya, I'm Peridots, your average digital artist/entomology enthusiast—they/it/he or any pronouns, please! Haven't actually posted much art in quite a while, so be prepared for occasional Bug Facts and other such randomness. Spam likes and such are all appreciated here! Terfs, zionists and the like can turn 180° for free, however! Profile art by original-character-chaos—oooooh looks like someone sent me perfectly pfp-shaped gift art of my sona a little too close to april fools!
