Snesbian comic I made for a pride-themed washi tape collection you can get here. the final thing is in the shape of stamps and it comes together like this:
and here's how they look like irl ✨
this is peak trans culture because this would have been easier with very nearly any other guitar design but she just haaad to use one shaped like the letter e. Not afraid of a challenge. Respect.
I would like to add that their name is E, literally just the letter E, like they’re in a spy movie. As if that wasn’t cool enough already she went and got a guitar shaped like her name. Fucking icon.
Feel free to reblog etc. I'm asking because my roommate had a weirdly shameful response to doing this the other day, and I was like ?????? It's a tap.
The band, the music, the dance.
puts on sound 📣🎶🎵
Ok, I NEED you to understand just how insane even ATTEMPTING this was for them.
1. Playing an instrument is difficult. Doing so in sync with others even more so. Don’t think I’m stepping on any toes saying that.
2. Dancing is difficult. Doing so in sync with others even more so. Still not controversial.
3. YOU AVOID, AT ALL COSTS, MOVING YOUR BODY WHILE PLAYING A WIND INSTRUMENT. To make the correct, pleasant sounds, you need to be in the correct form. And that form involves your ENTIRE body, even your legs when sitting down.
4. “oh, but I’ve seen marching bands before and-” MARCHING BANDS HAVE ENTIRE SCIENTIFIC FIELDS DEDICATED TO FIGURING OUT HOW TO MARCH WITH MINIMUM BREAKING OF PROPER FORM. A marching band tries to be as smooth as possible while moving, so as not to jar their instrument, mouth, neck, arms, torso, or anything else.These ladies and gentlemen are BOUNCING and still playing properly, what the FU-!
5. AND ANOTHER THING! Wind instruments and dancing BOTH make demands on your breathing, so the fact that they are dancing (making you breath faster for extra oxygen) AND playing wind instruments (making you effectively hold your breath) AT THE SAME TIME is HUGE. Their lungs must be MASSIVE.
All of that also; the song is Sing, sing, sing (with a swing). If you wanna listen to some of THE SPICIEST big band ever recorded. Its a big hard song and this band does it expertly.
I will. I will say ONE thing. As a wind instrument player, and very drunk atm for unrelated reason.
Most of the point above are correct, save for the first.
Playing in syncs with other is actually easier (Imhe, ymmv) due to a stronger base beat/rhythm/placement to follow and the ability to drop out when you need a breath knowing that there is plenty of volume to cover you and and that when you pop back in, you’ll know where you are thanks to following the players around you (and which point you then provide th same opportunity to your band mates)
The other points of course stand as posited.
i can easily believe most tumblr users havent had sex or kissed anyone yet but im curious to see if substance celibacy sweeps here too
and to clarify, when i say drink alcohol i mean a full drink and when i say drugs i mean recreationally
taking the average of 5 days because that's the most common occurrence 🫶 please do reblog for bigger sample size!
When people graffiti on buildings: Yes! Ha ha! Fuck yes!
When people graffiti on rockfaces and cliffsides on hiking trails: What the absolute fuck.
It's not punk to poison the soil, dude.
Amazing levels of reading comprehension there "this sucks because we're always right but no one listens to us" "have you tried being wrong?"
please if you reblog tag with your country because this fascinates me
Look at this cool new t-shirt I made for fans of Abraham Lincoln! I made it on my own time, with my own resources, and without any affiliation to existing public or private institutions concerned with history, education, hospitality, culture or retail. You can find it at my new Threadless shop or directly at bit.ly/imissabe

Excerpts from a media presentation (likely from Impact Media, written by Jendayi Omowale and designed by Cristeen Park) on the adultification of black children in the US. The presentation cites the examples of 12-year-old Tashawn Bernard (wrongfully arrested by police in Lansing, Michigan), and 16-year-old Kalief Browder (who was treated by law enforcement as an adult despite his age, with tragic consequences).
[CW: Police brutality, adultification, mentions of suicide]
Police in Michigan were looking for a car theft suspect.
They wrongfully handcuffed a 12-year-old boy taking out the trash instead.
Bernard's father felt that something was off when his son was taking an unusual amount of time to take out the trash.
When he looked outside, he saw his son handcuffed with police "standing around him."
Bernard is now traumatized to the point that he no longer wants to go outside, according to the family's lawyers.
The officers responsible for the incident haven't been identified.
The Lansing Police Department explained that Bernard was "wearing similar clothing and in the same apartment complex as an accused car thief who fled from officers on foot."
On Friday, Chief Ellery Sosebee issued an apology. Bernard's family says they "will never accept" it.
The incident was documented in a now-viral video.
- The officer handcuffed Bernard, led him through the parking lot of an apartment building, and briefly placed in a police car.
- The handcuffs were only removed from Bernard 3 minutes into the footage.
- The officer then spoke to Bernard for about 30 seconds before he was allowed to be with his father on the sidewalk.
The assumption that a 12-year- old could be a match for a suspect who committed multiple thefts is adultification in action.
Black children are perceived to be older than they are, causing them to be treated as adults.
Adultification also means that Black children are seen as threatening and dehumanized by society, which has deadly consequences.
Because of adultification, Black children are more likely to be targets of police brutality.
The school-to-prison pipeline relies, in part, on the higher rates of disciplining Black children to expose them to policing within the education system.
For example, Black children make up 15% of their schools' population, but are half of all elementary school students who have been arrested.
Compared to white children, Black children are 18X more likely to be criminally sentenced as adults.
For example,
- 16-year-old Kalief Browder was charged as an adult for allegedly stealing a backpack that the police did not find on his person at the time of the arrest.
- He spent 3 years at Rikers Island jail awaiting trial, facing countless abuses before his charges were dropped.
- Years later, he died by suicide.
Black children deserve an actual childhood.
Black children should not have to live in fear of being grossly abused by law enforcement or the criminal justice system.
People should focus on investing in the futures of Black children instead of policing and dehumanizing them.

minor tumblr user’s carrd: over 25 dni!!
25 year old who was going to prey on this minor: oh damn 😔 here I was planning to groom them but i can’t because of their dni 😔 what a shame 😔😔😔😔😔
actual things you can do to keep yourself safe online instead of relying on a dni:
- don’t use your real name! not even your first name, if it’s unusual!
- don’t tell anybody where you live! not even what state you’re in! keep that shit a sexy little mystery that’s between you and your mail carrier!!
- liberally use the block feature!!!! use it!!! just block people if they give you the heebie jeebies!!
- don’t post selfies that you’ve also posted on facebook or anywhere else! reverse image search can be used to find your name if the same image is tied to fb or insta or anywhere else your actual name might be
- consider not posting selfies at all actually esp if you’re a minor……., shit can be dangerous
- there’s no reason you have to advertise your age if you’re a minor <3 you don’t have to tell anyone! don’t lie, and please don’t interact with 18+ content, or with adults who are uncomfortable with people under 18 interacting–but you don’t have to go out of you way to say on your blog “hey I’m a minor and a member of a vulnerable community”! and if someone asks then you are allowed to tell them to fuck off
- tell people to fuck off if they ask you questions that could be used to identify you
this all counts for discord servers too btw. I’m 26 and as a kid on the internet I was warned about “chatrooms” and told to stay safe and not give out any personal info in a chatroom because that’s dangerous. And It Is
discord servers are chatrooms y'all. not everyone in your public fandom discord is your friend
