Folks! Kick Genocidal Joe Biden, “The War Criminal, Demented and Complicit in Genocide in Gaza,” Out of Oval Office in 2024!
During U.S. primary elections this year, hundreds of thousands of voters have chosen "uncommitted" rather than endorse President Biden, who they say is complicit in genocide. Primary elections are used to determine the Democrat and Republican candidates for U.S. national elections. The grassroots movement began just a month before primary elections in Michigan - home to one of the largest Arab American populations - and quickly spread to other states.
I don’t know how I never played any of the Nancy Drew games as a kid, I love point and click and I love Nancy drew and I would have been all over them!! My sister and I are playing through them together now and it is just an absolute joy. (She is however much better at puzzles than me so idk maybe they would have frustrated me as a kid)
Also it’s giving me some inspo to ~actually~ practice drawing and backgrounds etc. so anyway here’s treasure in the royal tower WIPS. I really want to do some actual illustrations from these games.
Also Evelyn/gabsmolders streams are just prime content for background comfort noise when pain flares or fatigue keep me in bed.
dude I’ve been walking around this place for hours and there are like fifty unoccupied guest rooms. if you don’t want to fix my radiator how about I just move to one of those instead of doing all of your chores for you

Dutch police violently broke up a crowd of pro-Palestine students from the University of Amsterdam who had gathered to protest against Israel’s war on Palestine’s Gaza and to demand their institution cut ties with Israel on May 8 in Amsterdam
