05.26 - Within the Ice
[ID: An astronaut crouches on a large, iced over body of water within a low cave. The astronaut is down on one knee, visor angled down, one hand planted on the surface of the ice while the other holds a brightly burning neon red flare overhead. The light is reflected directly below, in the ice, and directly above, in dull pink patches on the low cave ceiling. The arc of the ceiling mirrors a wide curve of dull pink in the ice, just below the reflection of the flare itself. The curve, upon closer examination, is the spread fingers of a giant, reaching, clawed hand, at least three times the size of the astronaut. /end ID]
I've been working on this project for a while and I think it's time to show them off. These are propaganda/health and safety reminder posters for the Office for the Preservation of Normalcy, an organization that deals with the supernatural in a canon I'm working on. I have some lore I'm working on, but these posters will be the main thing that exists for now. The "sample" watermark is because I would like to sell higher-quality printouts and files in the future.
At this stage I'm looking for feedback. How do they look visually? Could a tagline be punchier? Please please let me know what you think.
shinzo abe day was incredible. still not over seeing all the rumours about what happened, joining everyone in wondering how the fuck a shotgun assassination could have happened in japan, and then seeing the first photo of the doohickey
Lemme look something up...
This is literally some Looney Toons level bullshit
Ah yes, the first Spanish astronaut
Reading about how intersex athletes have been treated is so fucking horrible. The countless lies and human rights violations. The discrimination and how it's ruined the lives of so many people is so awful. There has been no apologies from any athletics comptetions or organizations. They have blood on their hands. Just a tw for intersexism and mental health issues and suicide in the next paragraph because it can get pretty heavy.
Annet Negesa, who was a middle distance runner. She was suddenly barred from competing due to her hormones. No one told her why. She was then told she needed to take medication to lower her testosterone, then what she was told was switched. She was lied to about a surgery that she was told was like an injection and would let her compete again. She woke up with scars and had had a gonadectomy. That violation of basic human rights and medical ethics combined with inadequate postsurgical care basically ended her career. She deserves justice. She deserves apologies from the Olympics and everyone single doctor who was involved in it, and compensation and the promise that it should never have happened and will never happen again. She. Needs. Justice.
Pratima Gaonkar needs justice. She was a rising track and field star. After forced sex verificatiom she killed herself. The way media and news treated her after her death was disgusting. She deserves and needs justice. Her family deserves justice.
Santhi Soundarajan had her medals stripped and was treated as an outcast after forced sex verification showed she had androgen insensitivity syndrome. She was treated as an outcast, her gender was mocked. She's spoken out about how much discrimination she's faced, and how badly she's been treated. She now works as a coach, but was barred from competing. She deserves justice.
Caster Semenya deserves justice. Francine Niyonsaba deserves justice. Margaret Wambui deserves justice. Barbra Banda deserves justice. Beatrice Masilingi and Christine Mboma deserve justice.
The racism and intersexism and horrible human rights violations and medical abuse these women have faced for the supposed crime of being intersex and good at a sport is horrible. They deserve justice, but the organizations that perpetuate these atrocities don't seem to care. It's so fucking horrible.
not that its an unpopular opinion but elon musk should kill himself
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
Might I add:
The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed
The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child
The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship
The adventures of a space roomba
Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)
I don’t know a snappy description but the my nemesis cynthia story certainly lives in my head
hilariously, these are almost all in my fic tag. so, a compiled list from the notes (and some extras):
I am in love with you /p
adding the Doctors Without Borders one
I LOVE tumblr storytime, so here’s a bunch more your weekend reading. Enjoy!

WAIT REBLOG THIS VERSION INSTEAD
Do you write music with the view of being politically active and delivering a message or does it just happen and the rest follows?
Friendly reminder that Hozier’s first music video, in 2013, involved him literally taking his life savings and using it to make a protest video about anti-gay actions in Chechnya. This was not a popular position at the time, to the point that damn near every interviewer asked “so, are you gay?” because they literally could not figure out why he cared so much.
Incidentally, after the first few times of saying “no, I’m straight but it’s important,” he started saying “you can think that if you want.” ALSO not a popular position at the time. Adam Lambert’s entire career had been derailed only four years before because he dared to be openly gay and sexual about it.
He literally came out swinging like Muhammad Ali and has not stopped. And he finds it odd that people find it odd! Like he was asked if he was aware of his “lesbian cult following” and seemed genuinely puzzled why he has a lesbian cult following (and, later, just a massive queer following in general) and it’s like. Honey. You loved us first. You loved us more and harder than most people were willing to. When it was unpopular to even whisper about how maybe queer people shouldn’t be seen as inhuman actually, you grabbed a megaphone and screamed. You risked not just losing a career, but never having one at all, to stand by us. You loved us. We’re just loving you back.
Can we all just appreciate that Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls, was prank calling Republican voter fraud hotlines on November 6, 2020?
Ok i scrolled past the first post about this and so this is the second one I saw, but they both fail to mention HE CALLED IN USING CHARACTER VOICES
[first clip]
Woman: This is a hotline to report instances of voter fraud.
Alex Hirsch, in the voice of Soos Ramírez: Okay, yeah, I saw what I believe is a voter fraud situation?
Woman: Can you please describe it for me?
Hirsch: Um… so I saw a man, uh… he walked into this- this building. Uh, and he was wearing a black- he had a, a black hat, black mask, a striped… shirt and a, uh, red tie. And, um… I believe there were hamburgers in his bag? And he was saying “robble robble,” as he was exiting the building? Like a burglar.
Woman: [unintelligible]
Hirsch: Y'know, I think- I think he’s probably antifa. Can I speak to Rudy Giuliani?
[dial tone]
[second clip]
Alex Hirsch, in the voice of Stanley “Stan” Pines: Hi, I’d like to report an incident of voter fraud.
Woman: Uh, yes sir.
Hirsch: Yeah, so I, um- I committed some voter fraud. I’m very proud of it, and I’d like to tell Mr. Rudy Giuliani about it.
Woman, in a flat tone: Great. Um. Awesome.
Hirsch: My name is Stan Pines. P-I-N-E-E-S. You got that down?
Woman: …Yes.
Hirsch: So, y'know, I- I went in there and, uh, I had a big ol’ sack. And I just started, just takin’ ballots out of the box. And I, y'know, I- I didn’t even- I didn’t even try to hide it. I waved to the crowd, I blew them kisses. And uh, y'know, I think I’m kind of a local hero and I’d, uh, I’d like Rudy to give me a medal or somethin’.
[dial tone]
Hirsch, corpsing: She hung up on me!
if you are dealing with extreme heat or even just. moderate heat in your area right now. 80f/26c is when it starts getting toasty for a lot of people. if you are in a heat wave and you have not done yourself the favor of googling fucking "heat exhaustion symptoms" i am shaking you violently right now. look it up. burn the symptoms into your brain. heatstroke is no joke and it can and WILL sneak up on you before you're aware it's even an issue. ohh my god
if you are outside and it is hot and sunny and you are sweating thru your clothes or feeling tired or starting to get irrationally agitated or upset in another way or feeling nauseous or your heart is pounding etc etc if you are feeling Weird and Bad for no apparent reason while you are in a warm/hot area then i have news for you! you need to cool down! right now! oh my god.
and there's a very good chance that you're gonna think "it's not heat exhaustion, i don't feel any warmer than i have all day" when you consider it as a reason why you are suddenly feeling weirdbad for no apparent reason during a record-breaking heatwave and i would like to say. there is no harm in sitting in the shade and drinking some water even if heat exhaustion isn't the cause of whatever ailment is inflicting itself upon u. once i swore up and down to my bf that i was just kinda tired and headachy and got bitchy about the possibility of being overheated and needing to drink water. because heat exhaustion tends to make you bitchy. but i did as he asked and drank some cold water and my condition immediately improved. because it was heat exhaustion and heat exhaustion is evil and a liar. sit down. drink water
When you do drink that water, make sure you’re drinking it slowly as well and taking breaks, don’t chug it
