Just doing this so I'm not an anon anymore.

The Baker Street Boys - (2022)

John and Sherlock in the Unaired Pilot. Studies that ended up as finished artworks (somehow). I have two other portraits to post soon. ❤

Afsgfhjdkkdk! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

My god. Both are amazing, but the John is absolutely superb. Gorgeous.

Many think that your power is the strongest in all the lands. “An ever changing and growing power” they say. Your power is called “legacy” and it’s effects are based on what your opponent thinks it does.

If you’d known what they would do with the word tattooed across your arm, you would have run away a long time ago.

You smile at the Leader of yet another superhero team, hands fisted under your backpack where he can’t see. He hasn’t decided on what your power is yet and you can’t help but brace for it. “As I said. I’m still in school. I don’t want to make any decisions yet.”

“Smart,” he compliments. He’s complimented you a lot since you sat down on the couch across from him while the Dean looks on, smiling. The Leader crosses and uncrosses his legs, spandex creaking with the motion. Finally, he stops beating around the bush. “We’re prepared to sign a non-exclusive contract with you today, Ms. Hassel. It’s not an offer you’ll receive after graduation.”

You keep smiling. Ever since your power’s name appeared, you’ve had to deal with guys like these. Everyone thinks that they have something new to offer, something that will entice you into signing your whole life away. You’re fairly certain that none of them actually know what your power, “Legacy,” entails, but that doesn’t matter.

Leaders are always looking for new meat.

Surprise triplets 😂

I can’t decide what’s funnier, if this was a genuine candid photo of the father’s shock, or if he was an excellent sport and was like “hey folks, know what would be hilarious…”

“Yknow, Ted, the guys at the bar are gonna wanna know what it was.”

“Bring the photo! It’ll be funnier if you bring the photo.”

Story Time!

My father, who is an identical twin, has two older sisters who were also identical twins. My grandfather’s favourite way to tell the story was that in 1956 when he was awaiting the arrival of 🤷‍♀️ Child™️, the doctor (who, in the small town where we’re from, had delivered my aunts a few years earlier) came to the lounge, lit a cigarette and took a seat next to him.

“Clifford… how are ya?” the doctor greeted.

“I’m alright… yourself?”

“Good, good…good, so how many ya want this time?”

My grandfather, even in the retelling of the story heaved the most world weary sigh and said, “…how many ya got?”

I need each and every person who sees this to pay attention to what is going on with the Indian Child Welfare Act.

The same SCOTUS that refered to tribal land as a territory of the state is about to hear a case that might overturn ICWA.

ICWA allows Alaska Natives and Native Americans control over the adoption and foster care placement of Native American and Alaska Children. In practice what this ensures is that if a Native American or Alaska Native child cannot be raised with their parents', the extended family will be given custody. If the extended family cannot care for the child, the child is placed with a family in their tribe or, barring that, with a family who is Native American or Alaska Native.

This act is important for two reasons:

  • For centuries, Native Americans and Alaska Natives were forcibly assimilated into White culture. From the 1800s to the late 1900s, children were taken from their families and either adopted out to White people or put in boarding schools. If parents refused, they were sometimes incarcerated, and they could lose custody of their other children. There are cases where tribes would hide their children and tell people who came that they had none...so the white people started showing up uannounced. The children sent to these schools were abused. Some were murdered. And survivors still live with the trauma. ICWA was passed to stop this...but not even 50 years after it being passed, it's at risk.
  • Native Americans and Alaska Natives are constitutionally guaranteed sovereignty. We all know the government picks and chooses when it wants to honor that, but Native Americans and Alaska Natives are supposed to have sovereignty. The idea that one country can step in and tell sovereign tribes and nations that they are not allowed to control the placement of their own children should be absurd. The U.S. doesn't tell Britain what to do with their foster care system...but the SCOTUS knows that Native Americans and Alaska Natives don't have an army or navy like Britain does. Because of this the SCOTUS believes it has the right to violate years of precedent and treaties. It knows that it will be protected no matter what it decides.

So I'm asking people to keep an eye on ICWA. I'm asking them to boost the signal. And I'm asking them to protest if it falls.
