Heard about the georgia protests and how the cops were using rubber bullets, water cannons and tear gas and more
Then a dude (who I call Firework Man) pulled up with a firework minigun and it brought to mind some metal gear music
I feel like "trump wants to throw away literal dinosaur fossils" would really turn heads if we actually had a functional opposition party in this country to get messages out, but I guess I'll just have to get a paint pen and write it on my car. fine, I'll do it.
So. Today I worked a lot, had to study, and to clean some mold from some of the more isolated parts of my home. Good news is that it is 25 of October. And here in Romania, that is an actual celebration known as Focul lui Sumedru. It is an old celebration, and not one done in many parts anymore. But still, I decided to just draw a fire.
Science: "hey if we don't do something about climate change there's a POSSIBILITY of increasingly catastrophic weather phenomena within our lifetimes, as you know a projected worst case scenario we could mitigate, not saying it's happening on any particular schedule but the trends are alarming! Let's try and reduce those odds!" Media: "hear that??? All the scientists literally said global warming will obliterate swathes of civilization in like 10 years. New York City will be underwater just like in these dramatized movies about it" Conservatives: "ummm it's not happening exactly that way so obviously scientists were WRONG about what we falsely think they were saying and therefore climate change is not really anyone's fault and can't be averted and won't hurt us so let's do more fracking" Climate: *goes ahead and does that shit anyway but somehow that debate continues exactly fucking the same and probably will for the rest of our shittier and shittier lives*
Little evening walk in the woods with Gingko!
Yes yes we all love lynxes and wolves are important.
BUT!!
I don't see any attention for my boy Huso Huso
He is in CRITICAL DANGER!!
LOOK AT HIM!!
HE HAS SEEN HORRORS!!
Today I procrastinated a little, but also worked a lot on other stuff.
So anyway, here is a small October scene I drew.
Six judges invented the US monarchy. Just made the shit up.
Interesting how the public has no access to the Supreme Court. You can't see any case. Yet billionaires can bribe the justices for decades.
Follow the money to Republican oligarchs.
I don’t care where you live. I don’t care if you’re in the USA or not. I don’t care if you’re eligible to vote. If Trump wins, there is a high likeliness of shit going down. It doesn’t matter where you are; the dominos will fall. All it takes is one push.
Gay people, transgender people, ANYONE who isn’t a straight, white, cisgender male is IN DANGER. It doesn’t matter if you’re closeted, it doesn’t matter if you’re voting for Trump because you’re “one of the good ones,” YOU ARE IN DANGER.
And you can cry. You can let tears fall from your eyes if he wins, and you or your loved ones are suddenly in a dangerous situation. You are allowed to be sad. But you need to be mad.
We have been fighting for decades for our rights, and we will fight more. If you can’t do this, I encourage you to flee America if you live there, or if possible, move to a heavy blue state like California or New York.
But I want you to stay. Because there are so many people who can’t leave. People who are trapped in this shithole. That includes me, my friends, and my family. My family has been living in Ohio and North Carolina for generations and we are not going anywhere. So I beg you: stay here.
Don’t let them split us up. They want us to fight. They want us to get into discourse about xenogenders and neopronouns. They want us to vote for Trump because we’re one of the good ones. They want us to be too intimidated to vote. They want us to stay in the closet. DON’T LET THEM HAVE WHAT THEY WANT.
Be loud and be proud. Make your voice heard and let them know that we aren’t going down without a fight. That you are gay, or a woman, or transgender, or a person of color, and that you are a human who will have their human rights even if they have to claw it out of the president’s hands. I don’t think there’s ever been a better time to quote the Hunger Games:
Stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves. FIGHT LIKE HELL. They can hang us in the streets, but not without a fucking fight. If you go down, take one with you. It doesn’t matter where you end up in the end: FIGHT. LIKE. HELL.
Don’t be compliant. Don’t let them arrest you and kill you because you think if you go willingly, they’ll spare you. DON’T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT. FIGHT WITH ALL THAT YOU HAVE.
I want to see you punch them. I want to see you resist arrest. I don’t care if you’re the twiggiest twink of Tumblr, I want to see you biting and clawing. Get acrylic nails, and remember: Thumb out for punching, thumb in for stabbing. Bruises will heal, punctured eyes won’t.
Because remember: If we all go down with a fight, the world will see. Because the world’s eyes are watching. If we sit here and let them hang us in the streets, the world will do nothing. But if we fight. like. HELL. The world will see. And the world will act.
When you fight them, they’ll fight back. The world will see.
When you scream that you have done nothing but exist as they drag you away, they will try to shut you up. The world will see.
The world is watching, and the only way to get people to act, is through their hearts. So FIGHT. LIKE. HELL. Because the world will see.
And remember: It’s totally legal to acquire a gun in the United States of America as of me typing this. Stay strapped because the police are too. Don’t bring your fists to a gun fight.
I am screaming into the void, but please, to any left winger from the USA who happens to see this. Dont fucking risk global stability, or the environment by voting third party. If you split your votes with Third party candidates, you know who will likely win?
Trump.
And you know what will happen if he wins? These things:
-The Palestinian genocide will continue, with even fewer chances of ending, because Biden at least tried to put a ceasefire.
-The Russian fascists will continue to murder innocent Ukrainians, and continue treatening Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
-Project 2025 will happen, and the USA will slide into actual fascism at worst.
-The Environment will be even wrost affected, and all attempts to mitigate the damage the USA does to the environment will be stopped, thus helping bring out a climate apocalypse.
-Worker rights will be ruined even worse in the USA.
-Fascists around the world will be emboldened.
-So much more shit.
And if you think you can fix this with a revolution, do you have any idea how bloody a revolution will actually be? How many people will die in a revolution, and how much a revolution increases poverty? Do you have any conception of the fact that a revolution can actually fail at succeeding and can be squashed by an army?
Do you have any idea how much less damaging and less risky just voting now is?
