“Father… you were the only good thing Rapture ever gave me…”

After 240 hours, I finally finished painting this! Initially, I painted the two scenes separately, then painted the water linking them together in the middle. The parallels at the beginning and end of Bioshock 2 really got me 😭😭😭

Tumblr crunched the image so ummm here are some closeups 🙈 BUT you can view the full-size image here!!!!!

a lot of you really need to internalize that acting avoidant isn't cute at all and that it will cost you experiences and life outcomes if you don't change course

yall know human trafficking isnt just sex trafficking right? right????

The MAJORITY of human trafficking is for labor; factory work, garment/textile work, agricultural work, construction, and domestic work/cleaning.

And that's without counting -legal- human trafficking: Prison labor.

Potentially hot take but one of the reasons we need art and music in schools is that, taught correctly, they are ideal avenues for teaching kids how to do something, kinda suck at it, keep going anyways and improve over time.

And THAT is one of the most valuable skill sets a human being can have. THAT is the skill set that unlocks soooooo many others.

A LOT of people I see with anxiety and depression do not have this skill set. To suck at something is a threat. Proof that they are doomed to suck at it forever. And then, often, that either THEY suck forever or the task must be stupid/useless/pointless (whence we get AI art fans who have decided actually making art is pointless and degrading the labor and skills of others is fine because these are useless skills).

Or you get the freeze- the inability to try things in case you fail. The sudden lancing shame and humiliation or hopelessness. The sense that anything you haven't learned by now you can't learn. Which is so heartbreaking and so untrue.

I just hate it.

"What if I write it and it's bad" "what if I draw it and it's bad" "what if I play it and it sounds bad" DOING IT BAD IS HOW YOU LEARN TO DO IT GOOD! You can't skip the process of leaning and the process is FUN if you let it be what it needs to be!

Congress is now considering the appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security, whose funding runs out at the end of January.

Call your members of Congress and tell them to vote NO on any bill that increases ICE's funding.

Please demand that the DHS appropriations bill prohibit ICE and Border Patrol agents from carrying guns and that it unambiguously declare that agents do not have absolute immunity under the law if they harm civilians.

Also tell them that any bill must restrict ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to conduct dragnet arrest operations and target people based on their race, language or accent. And the bill must clarify that ICE agents are liable under civil and criminal law if they harm civilians.

Do this as soon as you can.

To reach your representative or senator, call the U.S. Congressional Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Tell them the state and city where you live. They will connect you to any member’s office.

hey bro qick question .do i seem like a person to you

Not so long ago, in a galaxy off the West Coast… SEA STAR WASTING SYNDROME has killed billions of Pycnopodia helianthoides. Ocean lovers were stunned by their rapid decline. An alliance of scientists took up the fight to restore sunflower stars to the galaxy.

In partnership with @calacademy, Birch Aquarium, and Sunflower Star Laboratory, we will be sharing their saga all next week.

This is not a trap! Join us for this epic adventure on YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn starting this coming Monday!

Hopefully featuring #PedroPascal 🙏 #ThisIsTheWay
