I haven’t done this for a long while; just looking up whatever random bugs I can think of, then picking images to reference from.
And I actually remembered to write down their names this time

Just me crying in the bathroom so I don't wake my partners with this, fuck.
So to sum up: CT and DC have passed laws making it illegal to extradite someone to another state if they are being charged in that other state for crimes pertaining to abortion or trans health care, and makes it legal to sue and get your money back if you are targeted by a TX-style "bounty" law. DC also includes "crimes" of consensual adult sex, gay and interracial marriage and cohabitation and providing or using contraception.
This is, as the thread explains, basically legal interstate warfare. CT and DC's laws bar compliance with such laws.
This is, on one hand, kind of terrifying, because this is where we are now. It's going to get worse long before it gets better.
On the other hand... holy shit, someone fucking did something.
Someone fucking did something real.
Okay folx so... this kind of tags has been fairly common on this post.
I'm glad people are checking, but! If you didn't know, this is what it looks like now if you post a link to Twitter on Tumblr. And!
If you click/tap on the highlighted bit, it goes to the thread on Twitter, which contains screenshots of the amendment's text and a link to the full amendment text on the official CT.gov site.
Here are the screenshots of CT's amendment. The important stuff in the 2nd screenshot is what's underlined. There is too much text for alt text, it's on the link above, but the tl;dr is "it covers abortion and gender-affirming health care." It has been passed and signed by the Governor as detailed on the ct.gov link:
Here's a link to the press release when the DC bill was introduced from the Twitter thread linked above. Here is a link to an article about it. It appears that this is currently only proposed and not passed.
This is the text of the proposed DC legislation:
So yes, this is very very real, and Tumblr changed how they display Twitter links - the thread had all of this info in it except for the link to The Hill. :)
Please reblog this version before I lose my fucking mind over people reblogging the original post saying "I haven't checked this and I don't know if it's real."
Fun fact this is a violation of the Extradition Clause in the constitution.
But you know, it’s also based so who cares. (The Republicans will care immensely be prepared for a fight)
the occult implications of large parts of modern society being okay with "pleather" and "vegan leather" (plastics and micro plastics existing everywhere from placentas to the bottom of the ocean), rather than using the skins of animals who will ultimately die no matter what we do
a sizable amount of people are so unable to cope with the process of life and death, even that of a cow, that they'd knowingly poison their bodies and help poison the earth with fuckin' Forever Trash so they can feel like their hands are clean. wack

Congratulations for finally earning your name my dear millipedes!
Behold Eumillipes persephone, the leggiest animal on the planet and what a beauty it is indeed!
Pointy face
oh hey its the millipede my professor named!
“poison is the coward’s weapon” boo hoo sounds like someone’s sodium channels are easily inhibited
if your deoxyribonucleosides depurinate I just don’t see how that’s my problem
like, it’s not like I asked your vesicle fusion mediating proteins to cleave and block acetylcholine release... you can’t keep deflecting responsibility for your own actions onto me just because I “put something in your food”
“you’re trying to kill me” yeah well have you tried being less sensitive
to poison

An incomplete, lines-only daily, because I don’t think I can satisfactorily color this in my poorly lit apartment without pulling an all-nighter.
I started coloring it later but got cold feet when it started looking worse than I wanted it to, and thus never finished it.
Bonus: Adding an eye to it like this turns it into a Digimon
Wanted to draw some random textiles with my metallic pens but put the daily off and just rushed it to get it done; a pattern with a lot of the later ones, because I was getting pretty tired of it.
Looks only marginally better in person.
Bug!
I decided that day that I just didn’t want to ruin these lines by trying to color it completely.
I actually enjoyed this one.
