#its our sign

[samssims]

i’ve been looking into downloading colored hairs and i was wondering if your recolors replace the default or are add on colors added on?

They are all add ons! Our palette is small but its perfect for what I need it for so I have a few shared here. (I have tons more but no one uses it but me lol) But if you're interested in Requisition you can check out @ts4requisition! If you're looking for more Noodles stuff check out @noodlescc! Hope that helps!

#sam speaks #nonsims #ask #simmancy #hey kit remember we were just talking about the palette changing #its our sign #altho im not redoing the hairs ive already done

I wonder how many times Clark and the batkids + Alfred revived Bruce with the Lazarus Pit and just never told him abt it

#he pieces it together later but i mean. its so hard for him to miss now that hes looking back at it #like why is he always always always cold with a turtleneck on and heating blasting #why is his appetite so scarce? how come his sleep deprived body withstands hours - sometimes DAYS - of patrol #and functions perfectly? how come time passes by but he stays the same? why wont clark and dick stop giving gim #*him looks of loving grief? #why does harley slam her fists on her head when she sees him? ' no no no you're gone. you're GONE. I KNOW you are!' #why does selina smile at him with such heavy pity ' sorry bruce. i don't do ghosts' #bruce wayne #dc #dc comics #batman #batfamily #clark kent #dick grayson #jason todd #bc they def exclude the cloning. they dont want another bruce. they want THEIR bruce. tim #like can you imagine jason getting up in tim's face and just ' if you're not gonna stand by us then stay out of our way' #dark bruce? tired. dark BATKIDS? sign me the FUCK up #batdad #text

He was just being a silly little guy!

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jin guangyao #wen ruohan #nie mingjue #lan xichen #JGY's character is the zigging and zagging guy of all time #We love a little meow meow that can bite and scratch and kill you. #We also love a little meow meow that can mewl pathetically! #'He's evil now and torturing his former friend?" ZAG TIME: He's a spy and feels soooo awful about it!! #ZIG TIME: He (probably) didn't need to go that deep into the role and kill as many people as he did. #Something I really love about the sworn brother trio is how they reflect how our feelings distort our perception of others. #Lan Xichen represents how when we love/care about someone -anything they do can be endearing. They aren't manipulative: they are clever. #Its less about rose tinted glasses and more about reframing every look you get of them. The constant justifications you make for them. #They just need a space to be loved! “They care for me so I will stand by them no matter what to show them I'm there for them!” #While NMJ represents how when you dislike someone - Everything they do is an affront or proof of their foul character. #Everything is a sign. Everything is 'proof' they are just as awful as you want them to be. Every 'good trait' is twisted. #The problem is that most people are just human. They are flawed and they are capable of good and bad things. #Meng Yao's motivations are very complex. Yet he's extremely human all the same. He isn't the saint nor the monster of the story.

ABC News in Australia covers the story of how community groups all over the country are coming together as a community to provide for returning Gazan families.

El Rahman Inc. stands at the forefront of this community effort in Naarm/Melbourne, and on the organisation’s Instagram page, regularly posts updates on what supplies are currently needed. It accepts monetary and supply donations at drop off points (which are currently closed until the 28th Dec).

The PCIA has also been instrumental in organising resources for returning Palestinian families. For more widespread support not limited to Melbourne, please consider donating to the Arab Council of Australia, another independent non-profit which has a long history of supporting their community. They are based in New South Wales, which is home to Australia's largest population of Arabic-speaking Australians.

--

ABC's news report also highlights that between October 7 and November 20, Home Affairs granted 860 visas to Palestinians, including those seeking to depart Gaza. However, what they fail to give proper attention to is the fact that Israel has been preventing Palestinians from leaving.

[ link ]

Of the around 860 visas distributed, only 143 Palestinians have managed to successfully arrive in Australia, with the number of new names being added to 'the list' falling to a pathetic degree. To understand the grave conditions of Palestinians awaiting safe passage, this is a great article to read. And although politicians like Penny Wong insist they are doing everything in their power to help Palestine in this time, Australia still shamefully stands by its strongest ally, the US, and actively provides military surveillance of the Gaza Strip to Israeli sources through Pine Gap, a military base in Alice Springs.

In this time, it is imperative to maintain pressure on the Australian government. Protest and vocal pro-Palestine movement is the only thing that caused Australia to eventually vote for a ceasefire in the recent UN resolution, after their cowardly performance earlier. Resources like vic_socialists on Instagram, regardless of where you may stand on their performance as a party itself, has been outstanding in organising regular protest movements across all of Victoria. APAN also maintains a list of pro-Palestine events all around Australia on their website, although I'm not sure at this point if it's exhaustive.

#australia also abstained from the new naval coalition the US has sent into the red sea #which is truly the barest of bare minimums but i'm trying to see it as a good sign of our gov reevaluating our relationship with israel #i hold onto the good i see organisations like el rahman do with clenched hands #there are so many good people in the world. its a shame none of them are in positions of power. #australia #palestine #free palestine #call to action #long post #this information is also unfortunately a bit outdated. my apologies #i thought it was better to share late than never though

I wonder what some of my coworkers would think if they knew I'm not able to live alone. Not in a "I have 5 kids and they're too much to handle on my own" way, but in a "I'm not capable of doing laundry or washing the dishes or cooking most meals for myself way".

What would they think if they knew that when they compliment my curls and ask if I cut my hair cause it looks shorter, that my hair is curling again because I haven't been able to wash it in the past month. That I probably haven't showered at all in just as long.

Would they treat me differently of they knew that, yes I mask because I'm disabled, but also because it means I don't have to worry about my breath. That I struggle to brush my teeth as much as I struggle to shower.

When they ask what my plans after work are and I say "nothing" do they realize I literally mean I'm going to eat (a microwave meal I wasn't able to cook myself) and then go to sleep because I'm exhausted from the day?

When I mention that my partner and I have been together since highschool and they comment on how cute that is, I hold myself back from telling them that even if we didn't love each other anymore we don't have another option. We do love each other but we'd be dead without the other. It doesn't fit their abled highschool sweetheart daydream.

When you see an 80 year old pushing their partner's wheelchair it's romantic, but when we're in our 20s and grocery shopping suddenly people look away.

Every time I'm out in my chair I can't help but think about that post talking about how many more wheelchair users there are in your community who can't leave their house. I notice that I'm the only one I see. I'm uncomfortably aware that without my partner to carry my wheelchair up the stairs that I would also be housebound on those days. And I wonder if the abled people in my life are aware of that. If they know that I'm not the only one. Just the only one they can see.

#host #disabled #cripple punk #cripplepunk #disability #ambulatory wheelchair user #pancakes talk #my mother used to complain when there was a powerchair user driving in the road #but now i understand why they do it #they arent an annoyance to me #its a sign that there are more of us here #and more of us are finding a way out of our houses

You ever just see people talk about the Percy Jackson books and know somewhere, deep in your heart, that none of these people have understood that this is a series made for middle schoolers. And that fandom will very frequently lie to them like, all the time. No, that character probably isn’t ooc, you’re just thinking of what the fandom turned them into. No, this book isn’t a horrible stain next to the others before it, literally all of them were like this. It’s Percy Jackson. It’s cheesy and occasionally makes a very questionable writing decision.

You gotta be in this for the long haul or jump ship my guys. Be cringe and free or be gone

#percy jackson #tsats #solangelo book #rick riordan #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #the sun and the star #text post #yall are astounding me in ways i didnt know was possible god bless #also this was mostly written by mark not rick. like yes he signed off on it but still this is mostly mark #but its still Fine??? its fine?????? besties a book abt our favorite gays not being perfect is not the end of the world #did i cringe? hell yes. but was i free? tremendously. and i had a lot of fun i think #'bianca is in elysium but she was reincarnated??' yeah thats odd. anyway that scene was cute wasnt it #'everything is so on the nose' yeah its for middle schoolers and percy jackson isnt known for subtlety. its very rare #'will was ooc' weve literally barely gotten anything on him and no povs until now this IS establishing his character #'the puffs remove nicos whole trauma' no it doesnt. its a fantasy way to sort of explain that nicos trauma is now open instead of repressed #do i wish it wasnt sometimes explained as 'now the trauma is gone'? yes. but i think its moreso meant to be a way of nico dealing with them #he still HAS that trauma fellas. hes still going to be living with it. its just gonna be easier now. thats part of healing besties #also we dont know how these puffs are gonna act in the future so like. hush. shhhhhhhhhh. shut. it was literally never going to be perfect #its pjo. i love this series to death but. its pjo. it is. in fact. sometimes badly written. as it has been many times before in books before #and what else??????? it may not be written the greatest but its MY series that isnt written the greatest square up

I'm seriously going mental over this Rus' and Russia distinction. The precise reason Peter the Great changed the name from Moscovy to the Russian Empire was to establish a direct connection to the rich history of Kyivan Rus' and assert the claim as the sole true descendant of the Rurik dynasty. His thought process went like this: to build a formidable empire, a strong historical foundation is needed. Moscow's ties to the Mongols were not as significant as the history of the Kyivan state, which prior to the Mongol invasion of 1240 was one of the most advanced in Europe and had numerous representatives in various ruling dynasties. Credit must be given; he succeeded in doing so. Even centuries later, I find myself reading, listening, and observing his actions in effect as Russians and Europeans, blindly following the centuries long lies, erase my country's and my people's history.

#Kyivan Rus is a medieval state that put a start two three states of Ukraine Belarus and Russia #three of them after the desintegration of it had a completely different development #but to put an equal sign between russia and rus is to reveal yourself as an incompetent moron #sorry not sorry #and as once was said Ukraine unlike other states don’t have to look for and unceremoniously steal the proof of its history #we just have to look at the stones our cities stand on #history #ukraine #Kyivan Rus

Once again, as it so often is with ofmd, it is about violence.

Ed is capable of violence and it makes him feel monstrous. Killing his father was a defining moment in his life, something that became a core memory: The darkest, scariest part of himself, but also one that has protected him and been immensely useful. No matter how much he hurts himself with it, how much it chips away at his soul, he's willing and able to do horrible things. This is the price we pay for violence: When you kill, you die as well.

When he met Stede, a man he thinks is fundamentally incapable of the kind of violence that's slowly destroying Ed, it gave him hope that he, too, could move beyond it. That a life full of comfortable and beautiful things was not only possible but attainable; if Stede can sail the seas with his ridiculous toy ship full of books and soft fabrics, have a positive culture of open communication and constructive feedback, then fuck it, why can't he?

To him, Stede's incapability for violence is a positive thing; it might be Stede's greatest strength. But what Ed doesn't realize is that Stede's life, too has been profoundly shaped by violence, how intimately he is acquainted with it - from the other side. Stede has only ever been a victim of violence. Where the moments that replay in Ed's head (the lovely little motage at the beginning of 02x06 for example) are moments where he enacts violence, the moments that define Stede are ones where violence is done to him. We see him splattered with blood, picking flowers: we know what follows is humiliation, verbal and physical abuse, that Stede was unable to protect himself from.

So of course, to Stede, his lack of talent for violence becomes a character flaw. Something that makes him weak, pathetic, cowardly. When he finally learns how to wield violence, how to use it to protect himself and others, it's empowering. He revels in it, the small moments (I did a punch!) and the bigger ones. For the first time in all his life, he's not a victim anymore.

Ed does not know this about Stede. To him, Stede is fragile, someone not yet tainted by violence the way he is. Ed feels protective of Stede, and it's that perceived innocence that I think is a big part of it. All he sees is Stede descending down a path of violence and piracy he has walked already and cannot go down again; the last time he did, it literally made him suicidal. He can't follow, and he can't watch Stede destroy himself the way Ed did, either.

So he leaves.

And Stede, who feels like he has finally grown into a better, more capable version of himself, someone who is able to see hurt and fight back against it for once, doesn't understand this at all.

Both these viewpoints are ones that ofmd wants to validate: Violence is a terrible beast that will eat you whole and spit out your bones AND Violence is sometimes necessary, and even good. It's a delicate balance to keep, and 02x07 doesn't quite manage to do so. But despite the awkwardness, the bones are still there; we end on Roach and Fang (two characters very capable of and good at violence!) having their cute little self-care spa day. This is the future ofmd wants us to believe in: a world where we can chose care and tenderness over battles.

#will our boys ever talk to each other. all signs point to no #and see im not worried about their relationship #im not worried about what story we are told here #im worried about how it will be told #but i guess we'll have to wait and see #our flag means death #ofmd s2 spoilers #blackbonnet #thoughts #not too happy with this but its as good as its gonna get

I AGREE WITH YOU SO HARD MAN i find it boring as hell that we have those complex, alien, amazing blend of machine and organism massive structures and people want to reduce them to what is basically a finger

Ignore the fact that I not only had this ask sitting in the box for several weeks but the art as well.

Time to continue the on the string propaganda as is my duty

YES there is SO much room to make these supercomputers incredibly interesting without taking them off the string.

Like I get it, silly creature in scenario (I love those) and I'm not gonna criticise it much here- this is mostly gonna be an appreciation post, but big machine that is not human could very much stay a big machine that is not human.

Faithful mutual @sin-ari talked to me about how such a complex machine would struggle to portray it's emotions through the puppet. The puppet is meant to comfort the ancients and provide a way to communicate in the same style. But who's to say iterators feel things the same way? What if they had emotions that are indescribable to us? Things we could never experience?

And I'm going to keep talking about Ari's points cuz yess iterators should express their emotions with all of their structure. You should hear the thrumming and crackling of the flux condensers! You should hear the growling of their systems with anger, you should feel the metal walls vibrate with sound!!

The PLACE is alive and you should feel it!!! If you wander into an iterator structure and it's quiet, not a single 'whoop' from the flies, if the lights aren't dancing like they usually are, if rooms are empty with inactivity, could you not feel the sadness?

Does the general system bus play a different tune?

#The place is alive and you should feel as it weep you should feel its rage and joy you should feel the fear #the place is alive and it has a heartbeat! #the place is alive and it can breathe #the place is alive and it can sing songs #let these massive machines be happy being massive machines #let them have comforts beyond our comprehension #aaaarrrggh i love these massive supercomputers so much #this is eric your local on the stringer signing off #mild ALIEN reference there #can you tell i go OooOo biomechanical things yess like a moth to a lamp? #rain world #iterator #rain world oc #iterator oc #oc veil of dreams #drawins #rw talk

Seeing characters in romance stories just jetting between countries at a moment's notice with no thought for visa; seeing airports as sites of triumphant climaxes and romantic denouements instead of places of fear and danger where a sword hangs above your head— it all breaks off little pieces of my heart. They're constant reminders that my people will never be human enough in the colonial world order to be allowed to move freely around it. No matter what your race, those non-refugees living in the Global North will never understand what it's like to be part of a global ghetto where your passport is nothing but a trembling supplication and humiliation.

#race #racism #westerners will never know the dehumanization of the visa office #the ability to afford a plane ticket and the ability to get your visa stamped goes hand in hand #bc you're not allowed to leave the country unless you can show that you can afford to stay there and come back #you have to swear in blood that you won't overstay a minute longer than you're permitted to and sign your firstborn as collateral #a western airport is the closest i can come to the muslim experience bc the authorities will only care about my skin tone #that season 2 finale of Sense8 where the Mexican‚ and Kenyan and Indian characters of the cluster were able to flee to the US within hours #at the same time as the south korean and westerners #had Lankan fans falling down laughing #we're willing to suspend our disbelief of the science fiction telepathy shenanigans but THAT is a bridge too far #sadly not even the worst of the Wakowskis racefails #I love that show but its Caucasity was aggressive #global south #global north #immigration #refugees #islamophobia #no fly list #white supremacy #coloniality #western imperialism #colonial capitalism #knee of huss

confession time: the first time i saw that ace, sabo, and luffy were called the ASL brothers, my brain went straight to american sign language. i was like???? does one of them end up deaf??? do they do sign language??? then it clicked that it was their names and i was so embarrassed. no one was around but the thought of me being that dense in that moment was embarrassing lmfaooooo

#one piece #asl brothers #portgas d ace #sabo #monkey d. luffy #i think its also bc we do asl in our home bc of my sister #asl has been a part of my life for decades so i think thats why #but still why would something that was made in japan have AMERICAN sign language #cmon now ambrose

Physically, I am getting through it.

Mentally, I am laying on the ground kicking my feet and screaming that it isn't fair.

#i hate that i have to work a second job while im in school #did you know we (grad students) arent technically allowed to have second jobs? #because our funding is supposed to be such a generous stipend that we can focus all our time on studying #lol #lmao even #the grad student stipend hasn't gone up in almost 10 years #and it wasnt great to begin with #at a conservative estimate my rent is going to double when i move out of my current place #and its only the rate it is now because i signed onto a four year lease #landlord has been itching to raise it for a couple years now #frankly the university should be ashamed of whay they're paying us

stede not being worried about ed wanting to kill him, rather fearing returning and finding out ed is better off without him like mary was vs ed feeling like he is inherently unlovable and that stede left after seeing who he truly was and that he is forever doomed to be alone after killing his abusive dad is not something i was personally emotionally prepared for
