i come bearing alien peoples!

the slyfthys (SLIF-this) are an industrious, inventive peoples that made first contact with humanity and quickly became best friends, as far as species go. they excel in mechanical and biological manipulation, and often become surgeouns specializing in mechanical prostheses. their home planet, Drongue, is, unfortunately, a decimated industrial nightmare, and lots of slyfthys new to Earth have never seen: trees, grass, or nature in general before. Because of this they tend to have poor immune systems and rely on drugs to keep themselves from getting sick.

Hay fever is quite common among slyfthys living on Earth. They never quite learned how to live with the whole pollen thing that lots of Earth based flora relies on. Getting one to go outside on a bright summer day is not advised.

I like to think that even other machines think V1 is a freak.

#my art #ultrakill #v1 ultrakill #v2 ultrakill #it wasn't designed to move that way and there is something visibly wrong with it #it triggers the same feeling in machines as you would get from watching a person crawl up the walls like a spider #prolly not what Hakita intended but those are the vibes i got

this is your daily reminder that it's been over 65 years since cuba overthrew batista's US-backed fascist dictatorship and the US is STILL keeping cuba in extreme poverty using an "embargo."

back in the 1950s, using US funds and US-trained soldiers, batista (not castro) removed most of cubans' rights, including the right to strike, censored all media, and used secret police to torture and publicly excute anyone who protested his dictatorship. In a document released by the CIA in 2005, it stated as many as 20,000 people were killed. In return, batista gave control of most of the arable land to the US. during the revolution, this land was reclaimed and redistributed, which means that USAmericans can now sue anyone who "traffics" in this "confiscated" property.

Despite US sanctions being an "embargo," the US also fines foreign companies for doing business in Cuba, meaning it's effectively a blockade. Despite Obama lightening some of these restrictions, Biden has done little to undo the tightened policies from Trump's administration.

In November, the UN called for the 31st time (!!!) for the US blockade to end, supported by 187 countries and opposed only by the US and its bestest buddy (I'll let you guess who).

Cuba has been in economic crisis for years. Monthly income in Cuba is $30-60. There is very little food and it is hard to purchase anything like toiletries, clothes, and over-the-counter medicines. Domestic production is down because they don't have the resources to sustain them. The US has been intentionally impoverishing and starving Cuba for decades, and they continue to make it clear that it is not going to stop.

So, yeah. US democracy is a joke, end the US blockade on Cuba, and fuck genocide joe.

#the americans arent gonna like this one yall #free cuba #end the US blockade #end the US embargo #hands off cuba #hands off yemen #free palestine #free puerto rico #end US imperialism #stop the US war machine

The leftism/anticapitalism leaving people's bodies the zeptosecond you imply that disabled people who aren't "productive" still matter in society and need to be treated like intrinsic equals who have a place in this world:

#disability #disability advocacy #described images #image description in alt #ableism #ableism tw #my full-time job is my disability and you're lucky that i am still 'productive' as-is #your boss doesn't care that you think you're superior for being hired by them. they're still going to treat you like profit machines #it astounds me how people will capitulate for oppression because they place their intrinsic value in their ability to be at the top... #...or at least 'at the top' compared to others. it's the same impulse that makes people think their cisgender status makes them superior... #...you are placing your worth into systems which not only oppress others but offer you no true sense of worth... #...ESPECIALLY if you're also being exploited (even if just a bit)... #...you have a job sure but... do you actually get treated like a human being? are you actually paid? are you actually safe?... #...if the answer to any of those questions and more is 'no' then why do you place your value in capitalistic production. genuinely. #and why would you DEMAND disabled people to have the same exploitation you experience. why do you DEMAND productivity if you are proletaria #yes being a leftist and anticapitalist are linked but. some people still internalize capitalism without questioning it #being a leftist is about challenging that rather than assuming you're correct i think #also scientists were very silly when describing time that's like. less than a millisecond i think

I'm scrolling through some ambient noises to help me write, and it got me thinking. Y'know those white noise machines people use for sleeping?

Do you think there's a very specific brand marketed at Gothamites?

Like everyone else has rainy nights on the beach, whale song, the crackle of the campfire, and everyone's all-time favorite "rickety fan about to oscillate off your shitty ikea desk at four in the morning."

And then there's "The Sounds of Gotham," a nighttime ambiance made up of heavy thunderstorms interspaced with the wail of police sirens and the occasional smattering of gunfire.

If you upgrade to premium, you can get the added sound effect of "small vigilante child dropping onto your apartment roof followed by the heavy pitter-patter of their combat boots as they dropkick a criminal off the fire escape."

Mm. Cozy.

#they go to metropolis to visit a friend on the weekend #ask their friend if it's okay if they use their white noise machine #friend is like 'sure' #proceeds to spend the rest of the night wondering why their guest room sounds like an active crime scene #'oh that' says the Gothamite 'that's just my white noise machine' :) #Metropolites continue to be very worried about their goth counterparts #invests in earplugs from the drugstore asap #batman
