[ID from alt: gintama fanart of yorozuya and tae arriving in ghost ryokan arc in their casual winterwear, gintoki clutching shinpachi in fear and yelling "the HORRORS, pachi!!!" which kagura mishears as hors d'oeuvres, excitedly asking, "there's snacks?!" tae smiles, unbothered]

[ID from alt: oboro and utsuro redrawn as greg and nick in the taskmaster outtakes [5:10] where nick is stuck in a stack of pool float rings and asks greg "can you lift me up, please?" here it's a stack of the comically large prayer beads, and utsuro frowns for a moment before effortlessly hauling him out, oboro slumped in his arms, labeled "like a sack of potatoes". theres a fullbody drawing of oboro in nick's sweater and sneakers outfit to the side]

spending this indigenous peoples' day thinking about how for so long i was hesitant to acknowledge my arawak (taíno) ancestry bc i didn't personally know my great-grandmother and have been taught so little about that heritage in my family, so i was afraid of "appropriating" it; and how i've realized that ignoring that part of my history does not honor those ~500 survivors who are the ancestors of every person of arawak descent alive today. bc they survived columbus' genocide, i'm here. that i don't know much about them is a result of that genocide; remembering them as my family may be all i can do for them right now, so that's what i will do.

today in kindergarten volunteer adventures: one of the kids asked me if I had children, which happens at least once every time I go in; the first time one boy asked me if I had kids and then followed it up by asking if I was in 1st grade, which is possibly the funniest combination of questions I've ever been asked. anyway, until today I thought I didn't have children but this sweet kindergartner revealed to me that I have four kids... ages 11, 12, 17, and 88 :D I don't know anything about them yet but happily the kindergartners love telling me things* so I'm sure ONE of them will be able to help me out here. I can't believe I've been a deadbeat mom for like 90 years now. this is especially enchanting to me bc I'm turning 34 tomorrow LMAO

As part of a project I recently started working on, I needed some images to decorate a webpage for truly me dolls. I immediately thought of this classic ad!
(image snagged from a post by @desertdollranch, who nagged it from an ebay seller)
The line “She’s just like you. You’re a part of history, too!” has always been really fun to me, as it brings to light my favorite way of looking at modern AG dolls - the historical characters show kids that they were an important part of history, and through modern ag dolls, kids also are reminded that they are an important part of the history being made every day!
However, there’s no really great images of this spread that I could use. (And even if they were great, since this was only in print, I’d be bumping up against the copyright of person who took the photo of the catalog, as well as that of AG. That’s fine for a tumblr post, but not for the project I’m working on!)
So... I made my own version of the banner, and I figured I’d share it!
It was a bit tricky trying to figure out the fonts, but I got there! There’s a version with a white background as well as a transparent one (though there’s a bit of a “halo” around the black lettering, as a result of the hoops i had to jump through to use that font lol). Feel free to use it yourself, no credit required :)

Thank you, I am Actually Dying 😭 I just found out today that one of my class finals is going to be on shit we have never even been taught, that we're expected to somehow know?? And I only found out bc my instructor was kind enough to let me look over her shoulder at her very secret teacher emails. So. I lowkey want to cry lol
