Apparently ICE now has agents posing as utility workers to get into people's homes. The electric and gas companies have posted information on how to tell if it's one of their workers, and numbers to call to confirm whether they've sent someone to do utility work on your house.

Stay safe, friends.

Blog 1: ray toro Big hands

Blog 2: Gerard Way cute little pixie nose

Blog 3: ray toro Broad shoulders

Blog 4: gerard way sweet face little angel

Blog 5: Ray Toro 5’11 6’ 6’1 6’2

Blog 6: Gerard Way tiny itty bitty teeth

Yeah it’s six different blogs bc that’s how prevalent this is. It just makes me uncomfortable how widespread this trend is of talking about/sexualizing their bodies in very specific ways that I don’t think a lot of people consciously clock as racist. Gerard Way also has broad shoulders and big hands. Ray Toro has a soft jaw and a sweet smile.

Like I have seen about 500 posts about the aforementioned cute little pixie nose. Sorry but I’m sick to death of the cute little pixie nose being held up as the pinnacle of beauty and softness and gentleness etc. Where are my Ray Toro nose appreciation posts? It’s all about the muscles in his arms and his dick bulge but that man has a beautiful face. Y’all can reblog a hundred photos saying ‘Ray in the background serving face” but have you ever described his features in loving detail the way you will Gerard or Frank? Because I haven’t seen it. Do you depict them with the same loving detail and commitment to accuracy? If it weren’t for the work of racialized artists, the fanart situation might lead people to believe mcr’s lead guitarist is some random white woman. Lots of people talk about his smile, which is great because it’s beautiful, but the majority of those lean too far in the other direction and dehumanize/desexualize him into a literal ray of sunshine. Like his internal light shines through features you don’t find beautiful.

I love Ray Toro’s face. His features are my features and the features of people I love. It makes me sad that other people don’t love them too. It pisses me off. The exaltation of tiny sweet pixie noses is the reason my sister got a nose job. Ray Toro spent the better part of the 2000s telling people he didn’t like the way he looked because he was taught that his features were ugly and this was reinforced for him regularly, including by fans. Your fandom activities don’t exist in a vacuum.

I’ve been slowly working on illustrating my own Tarot deck about black cats.

I have a long way to go, but I’m nearly done with the major arcana.

Here are some of my favorites:

I set myself a design challenge (as I often do). I wanted to limit the color palette and the brush styles to create a very consistent look.

And since each card focuses on black cats, it forces me to think deeply about symbolism and design to make sure the meaning of each card is clear and each design is unique.

But there’s still a lot of variety coming through. It’s not all class, or all silliness - just like cats

I have a forearm tattoo of the cats in this one ☝️

I’m so happy with how both of these two managed to feel dark, but adorable at the same time.

And then there’s this one absolute diva:

Most of these used my own feline friends for reference.

There are more but I don’t know yet how many I want to share online. If I can actually complete the entire deck I would love to have it made. But I have a ways to go, so for now I continue to chip away, one card at a time.

Some of you think of Cops as kind of a symbolic figure representing "telling you what to do" & you're Posting things like "acab includes fandom discourse" and I thuink the 80% white website needs to remember the reason why we hate cops is because they kill people

We hate cops because they're a weapon for enforcing the state's interests through violence. Like, they kill & imprison people. The antis don't have a Quite Literal boot on your neck please god log off or talk to a Black person or something

To be SO fair like really generous there is something to be said for unlearning the habit of figuratively "policing" other people especially in the context of, like, not being a fucking snitch, "kill the cop in your head" etc etc, but can we not completely lose the plot re: what cops Are

Israel has forced many aid groups in Gaza to shut down. The only aid left for the people of Gaza is distributed by grassroots organisations such as Relief for Rafah, who are working to provide families with tents and winter clothing in the midst of freezing rain and flooding.
