#don't reblog my job please

[chalkrevelations]

COVID test negative, thank GOD.

Had an exposure at work again this week - another patient who popped up positive in the afternoon after a whole morning of being in their room with only surgical masking. THIS is why I won't take off my mask at work, and why I keep masking in public.

ok I'm not an expert but I'm not seeing much specific info going around here, and there's a lotta Palestine solidarity protests in the UK this weekend, so here is some (including UK-specific) protest info and resources (mostly pulled whole-cloth from Twitter)

policing is heavy at Palestine protests generally

Hamas is a proscribed org under UK law. that means "inviting support" for them or "wearing clothing or displaying articles" that implies you are a supporter is a criminal offence (if you're interested, here's the full list of criminal offences from gov.uk). Palestinian flags etc are ok*, but do not have something that could be mistaken for Hamas imagery. don't go out there looking for convictions pls.

*in spite of what Suella Braverman has implied, the London Muslim Community Forum has just confirmed that the Palestinian flag is not a proscribed flag and is not banned (apologies for quoting the "we advise the met police" group but I thought it was important to have that info explicitly)

don't talk to cops. that includes the police liasion officers in blue bibs.

particularly if you're concerned about your face ending up on social media etc, but also just good practice in general (both in terms of COVID and protest safety)—mask up. cover up tattoos etc.

have bustcards or contact details for protest legal support on you. Green and Black Cross can be contacted on 07946 541 511. write the number on your arm etc.

if you witness an arrest: check if there's a legal observer nearby and if so call them over; if not: if the arrestee doesn't have a bustcard, give them one, find out where they're being taken, and contact eg GBC or a protest support line

if you have the time and can help out, there will likely be arrestee support required after—GBC tend to post callouts on Twitter for this

other links

for particularly children and young people and their families being referred to PREVENT for pro-Palestine statements, contact PREVENTWatch and maybe also Palestine in School (newer initiative I think, I don't have an excessive amount of detail on them just FYI)

Liberty, Migrants Organise and Black Protest Legal Support have bustcards in different languages, including Arabic and Somali (also Liberty's website has lotsa useful info, including advice for disabled protesters, protesting and immigration status, and what to do if you're kettled)

GBC's thread on what to do if you see an arrest is useful, as are all their resources generally

if I've missed anything or made a mistake, lmk—as I said, I am very much not an expert. if you know people who are protesting, pass them the legal support line numbers; if you're attending, stay safe and be vigilant; and ofc carry water.

#palestine #current events #organising #acab #text post #my post #if there is a better post that i haven't seen with up to date uk info pls lmk and i will gladly reblog it #but i know there's ppl on here who aren't on twitter so #also #in my experience #palestine protests both bring out a large group of ppl who maybe have not been to as many 'spiky' protests or don't have #up to date support numbers etc #and bring out people who are targeted by the police bc of race immigration status being perceived as muslim etc #and like i do think the profile of protest safety is higher and people are more aware than they were in general in say 2019 #but i still don't think it's as high as it should be #so like #it's worth sharing and passing around #but again i am so much not an expert #this is all taken from people whose jobs is supporting folks who are protesting #please go look them up read their info share their bustcards etc #know your rights #don't talk to cops #no comment no caution no personal details etc

figured i'd do this again..bit early i guess..

#to cheer me up.. i feel bad atm.. these things don't even make me feel very good tho bc i'm such a narrative/sketch-based artist.. #but Proper Beautiful Finished Pieces are what grab attention and look good at the end of the year all neatly lined up lol..... #so looking at a “yearly review” where i can only choose 'the best image of the month' (??) is like...What have i even been doing... #i did a month by month look back on twt for myself instead..but even that doesn't express the quantity of comic-based stuff.. #that i do put a lot of time/heart into..but alas i feel bad bringing even them back..RTing/reblogging my own art simply feels bad lol.. #AND WHY IS IT ALL B&W...trying to accept that i LIKE doing that and sketching and scribbling..not like i'm trying to like..Get Artist Job.. #this year was so profoundly lonely at times bc i spent all my time drawing instead of socialising and trying to find friends.... #please please please have achieved more of your dreams in the future so you can look back at 2023 and think.. #It was good that happened so that it got me further to the future. Or whatever i guess..................... #regardless i did have a great amount of fun drawing and improving this year and dwelling deeply & heavily on witch hat atelier. #art-wise and emotionally....march july & september were the best months i think..AUGUST WAS SO WEIRD SUMMER IS SO EVIL ALWAYS. #thank you very much if you are reading this for enjoying & leaving nice tags & such like <3 i've realised how fulfilling that is to receive #really keeps me posting stuff here instead of keeping it all to myself in my head #i wish everyone in this world could have a safe and happy end of year. i wish living in this world were easier

Behind the scenes, American officials also believe there is limited time for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties – and calls for a ceasefire – reaches a tipping point. In fact, there is recognition within the administration that that moment may arrive quickly: Some of the president’s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffing the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomes untenable, sources told CNN.

A lot of this pressure — the majority, I would wager — that Biden and US national leaders are getting is the result of people calling their reps, attending protests, writing to their newspapers and generally making themselves heard on this issue. People make a difference, and it's always worth reaching out to your legislators and telling them what you think.

Senators' info is pretty easy to find, since you've got two for every state (even DC and other non-state people have someone they can call!) but sometimes it's a little tricky remembering who your representative is, especially now with the district lines having changed up. So check your address here and then call their office — I've found more luck getting hold of an actual person at their local offices rather than the DC one, fwiw.

#deleted my previous reblog of someone else's post #because someone in the replies said 'maybe hitler had the right idea' and I just...don't need that today #plus frankly if you say 'israel is committing genocide' and then allow comments like 'jews should've gotten genocided harder' #then you terrify me and I cannot trust you on... pretty much anything #but I think this article will show people that their voices matter! #please reblog if you feel like this is something you can support—I'd love for more people to call their politicians #YOU CAN DO THIS GO GIVE PEOPLE A CALL #politics! #eta: also note the headline of this article—specifically calling it 'carnage'—reflects a more accurate depiction of the violence #that the Israeli army is inflicting on Gaza #I think a LOT of newsmedia has done a bad job of using terminology in this and other issues #(remember when nobody would write that Trump was lying despite clear proof that he was in fact lying) #but this indicates that there's more desire in the media to describe things in clearer terms #which again is progress!

somtimes a boy's just gotta recognize the girl he used to be and acknowledge what she did for him and then move on to keep living his life knowing she's watching proud of what he's done

#i really feel like i am a boy who used to be a girl #and I don't really acknowledge that because it can be really triggering for my dysphoria #but that girl learned about being queer #she has childish crushes on girls and callrd herself a lesbian and learned about the existence of trans people #she did most of the work to get me where i am #and sometimes i feel like she was someone else entirely #and it's a little weird to feel like the boy i am now was never an innocent kid #but that was the girl. she let me become who i am and stepped aside #but i think she'd be proud of what I've done #how far I've come #so i just wanted to appreciate her for a minute #good job younger me. you got me here. i appreciate all the work you did <3 #transmasc #ftm #personal #oliver talks about himself again #transgender #please be kind I'm just thinking about my own personal experiences with gender #feel free to reblog though #queer #lgbtqia

[fanvoidkeith]

i already have a kofi, so theoretically commissions would be pretty easy for me to do, i'd just have to sit down to draw/write and just do it

#void keith talks #void keith's polls #please i want to find joy in my future jobs and not stress #hhhhhhh #writing and art are my passions #but i feel like people don't really see it much because i just reblog everything here #week long poll

[knghtlock]

so i don't know how the make this post, but uh. let's start with the easiest statement: hi, i'm shelly, i'm autistic, and i'm fucked! due to my job cutting my hours and my bank screwing me over, i am not going to be able to pay my bills this month. no pressure or anything, but if you're in a spot to help & can spare even a couple of dollars, it'd help MASSIVELY ! i'd also be glad to doodle you a little sketch or something if you im me a receipt ! here's my paypal, & please, only donate if you're financially able to ! have a lovely day! <3

#ooc.exe #okay to rb #PSA #i'm trying to find a better paying job but i'm too poor to even leave the stop for games rn :( #and it's just. really hard to get call backs because of my limitations of how much i can work #but yeah anything helps! even a reblog if you aren't in a financial position to help monetarily #& please please please don't feel pressured to donate <3 <3 #i'm roughly 150 off & even that would completely drain my bank acct #thanks guys!!! ;w;

Hey guys I don't want to sound mean and I know everyone likes generic anime twinks (especially if they're free!!) but there are ways you can get access to that other than using software that steals from actual artists without consent. Commissions are so cool.

#please people gotta stop advertising this stuff I'm begging #i know it seems harmless #but you can't go and say 'AI bad' and then the next week go 'oooo cute new anime generator lol' #sorry just my thoughts on this topic #don't feed the machines is all I'm asking? Jobs are being put at risk every time you do it #trust me these things learn super fast #stop liking and reblogging it also 😭 #i mean who am i to tell people what to do right #just.....be aware that it's disrespectful to artists #and it's not a 'ohhh you're not even a real artist shame on you' type of disrespect it's a 'THATS STEALING' which is so so much worse #rl

[bogkeep]

so far my Only regret about quitting my job is that i cannot justify purchasing a megalodon tooth right now

#this is a personal post please don't reblog #ONE DAY. #but if i hadn't quit my job i would be at work right now :(

If you're ever wondering if new shoes will make a difference, new shoes will make a difference.

I'm not saying the new tennis shoes are the entire difference between my complete trash morning yesterday and something (so far) better today - the patient who took their AM meds instead of spitting them out on me also helped - but every single time, I spend a week and a half wondering if it's time for new shoes, and IT ALWAYS IS. You'd think I'd learn, at some point.

not to make two whiny posts in a row, but there’s an anon in the jamie tartt (and maybe roy x jamie and ot3 fandom) who sends me random jamie messages after the show each week. and I get it, that’s their way of engaging with the fandom, and I don’t want to discourage anon messaging.

it’s just that the messages they’re sending me could just be their own post on their own blog? like they sometimes have nothing to do with specific posts of mine. and I think they’re sending anon messages to multiple people in the fandom. it’s not bad, it’s just weird to me. like all of these messages could just be posts on your own blog? why are you unwilling to post *checks notes* ted lasso content on your own blog?

#jamie tartt #ted lasso #roy x jamie #I'm not trying to start shit or be negative #it's just a bit weird to me #I delete like 3-4 messages after every episode and I'm still getting them? #don't make it my job to post your own theories on my blog please! it's weird! #this is gonna get me hate I just know it #sorry if this comes off as Get Off My Lawn but I'm just trying to make it make sense #if you have stuff to say about my posts you can reblog it and add to the post or put it in the tags ??? like that's the normal thing to do

too much talk about nuclear weapons recently. really ruining the vibe

#a friend from estonia sent me screenshots of some tweets and talked about her fears and like #girl yes i'm nervous too but also why are you showing me this #i've already been through 1.5 to 2 weeks of crying every day and feeling like i might throw up in february/may #i can't bear constantly thinking about this kind of things anymore #whatever time is left to me i prefer to enjoy it as much as i can. now leave me to my silly little job and my silly little books #also please don't take every tweet posted by god knows whom for face value. who said that? what is the official source? #talk talk talk #please don't reblog #yep the desktop version still doesn't have the reblog disabling feature apparently #*february/march of course. time is tricky. it's been more than half a year but it's also still february

Saturday Six (Stuff)

Finished the project for the parental units new house. It looks good.٩(•̤̀ᵕ•̤́๑)ᵒᵏᵎᵎᵎᵎ

I finally got the pictures I had Shutterfly print of KittyMeow. It took forever. And yeah I need good (really easy) photo editing software, because they are kind of a mess. No I can't do anything like photoshop because I don't get it. I need really easy, like Insta easy lol. Oh well, I still like them. And I'll probably frame them anyway.✩⃛( ͒ ु•·̫• ू ͒)

A tad bit late in the year, but we finally took the Winter (aka Xmas) decorations down. Our excuse has been the huge mass of snow in the way of our shed.(๑>ᴗ<๑)

It's been raining here steadily for about 4ish days now, and it's so much better than snow, but the slush is horrible, and the back roads are all squidgy. My little Impreza doesn't like it. But I loooove the rain!(❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*

My business picked up last year. Quite a bit better than the past 3 years. I'm still under the poverty level though. How ridiculous is that?s(・｀ヘ´・;)ゞ

I had little boy Reggie (Regulus Arcturus Black Kitteh) making biscuits on my bed last night. I only mention it because he's been hanging out in the living room more often since I got my new chair. Here's a gif of him...₍˄ุ.͡˳̫.˄ุ₎ฅ˒˒
