Had to do a double take when I first saw this; I thought the peel was a creature. May I gift you: pineapple dragon?

@elodieunderglass

Enchanting! Thank you! The pineapple dragon would be so well-armoured against piercing attacks 🥹

“Why is this event about LGBT representation in a show excluding my headcanon?!” Because representation is an actual thing that matters and celebrating that a show actually has it is worth doing even if it means you personally can’t participate because you don’t like it when the ships are actually canon.

Sorry that Eddie Diaz is vaguely suffering from heterophobia but allowing an event about canon representation to be about a character that has canonically said he’s straight would be really silly and I support What’s Your Pride’s decision to not do that.

I love that parenthetical aside because they’re really saying that about an event whose banner image is Hen and Karen. You can’t play the race card about queer representation in 911, the black lesbians have been there from the start and if it weren’t for Rockmond’s anti-vaxxer nonsense, there would be two married gay men on the show too.

And anyway Eddie isn’t being excluded from the event. Week 3 includes the prompt allies!

Literally, Stereks grow up to be Buddie fans, lol.

update:

regarding h.r. 9495 is about to be voted on tomorrow. even worse, it's being inserted to a must-pass package, which if passed, will be in law automatically. spam the calls, as this bill is the most dangerous at the moment. if passed, this can, and will give donald trump unrestricted, unauthorized access to full power in congress for the rest of his presidency.

call them, and tell them four things: vote no on h.r. 9495, to not include h.r. 9495 in this must-pass package, tell them to vote for trump to be impeached, and amend, and remove section 112209.

again, this vote starts tomorrow.

this is beyond unconstitutional. call, and email them before it's too late.

call the number now: (202) 224-3121

edit: i was panicking when i made the post. sorry. it's not the final vote, as i once thought.

Another important call-in has arrived.

Last Year's "Non-Profit Killer" bill, HR 9495, is now being brought back not as an individual bill, but as an amendment that House Republicans are trying to shove into their budget reconciliation bill. To the detriment of all. This hidden section would hand over the power to remove nonprofit status from Any organization the administration doesn't agree with.

YES. THAT EVEN INCLUDES WEBSITES LIKE AO3.

You can use this website to send a written message to your Senator AND House Congressperson. And you can use the script that comes with it to call your reps too. Please do so as soon as possible, as this is a matter of grave importance. They want to do these things in secret and rush them so we don't have time to react. This is and has always been their strategy. So please help this now if you can.

You can pare down the script from the above link for a call script. So please help by calling as well if you can. Thank you.

"As your constituent, I urge you to reject the inclusion of Section 112209 in the House Ways and Means Committee's budget reconciliation package — a dangerous provision known as the “Nonprofit Killer Bill.”

This proposed law would grant the incoming administration’s Secretary of the Treasury unchecked power to revoke the tax-exempt status of religious, charitable, and advocacy organizations based on vague allegations and even classified evidence that groups cannot challenge. It would undermine the First Amendment, violate due process, and open the door to politically motivated targeting of nonprofits — including those that speak out against U.S. foreign policy or advocate for Palestinian human rights.

This legislation follows other recent attacks on free speech, such as the Antisemitism Awareness Act and the Anti-Boycott IGO Act, which would suppress student activism and Americans’ right to boycott human rights abuses. Congress must stop this growing wave of unconstitutional overreach.

I urge you to:

1) Support any amendment to strike Section 112209;

2) Vote NO on any reconciliation package that includes this provision.

Publicly oppose efforts to silence protected advocacy and dissent. Please stand up for the First Amendment and nonprofit independence!"

Hello, I wish you all the best. It has been more than four months and we have not reached the goal, my friends. This is because the support is very bad and weak. Therefore, I hope that you will help and donate so that we can reach the goal as quickly as possible, especially since the prices of food and supplies have become very high. We cannot buy flour, wheat, baby milk, or even the most basic necessities that can help us survive, especially since we are now in the winter season and live in dilapidated tents that do not protect us from the cold of winter or even the heat of summer. Therefore, I hope that you will donate, please, and I hope that you will share on the widest scale. You can donate even a small amount, perhaps up to $5. A little bit at a time can enable us to buy milk for our children.

I'll get right to the point. Palestinians have been starving and dying of starvation, but foundations that distribute food have been actual lifesavers for Palestinians. With your help, you can help keep Palestinians alive and fed during this insane blockade!

Netanyahu decided today to continue the war. This means more children will be killed and many lives will be lost.

And don't forget the difficult humanitarian conditions of hunger and lack of basic resources for life. Let us be understanding and logical and take a serious stand with the oppressed Palestinian people. Let's come together toward justice and humanity. Don't get tired of standing by our side and supporting us financially by donating here and supporting us morally by participating and interacting. From the bottom of my heart, my family and I say thank you to everyone.

Everything you do will stay in our memory.

Many thanks to the donors. I got some hope from the participants as well.

i wake up and go to sleep thinking about palestine.

i brush my teeth and i think about palestine. i get dressed and i think about the weather in gaza. i go to class and i think about the islamic university of gaza. i eat my lunch and i think about the starving children of palestine. i go home and i think about the bombed-out apartments, homes, the piles of rubble, the kitchens occupied by colonizers. i lay down and i think about the hungry, weak, and weary sleeping in tents. i go to sleep and when i dream it’s nightmares about dead children, amputated limbs, starved infants, the gaunt faces of the deathly ill, graveyards upon graveyards upon graveyards. and then i wake up and i do it all over again the next day.

the circular nature of my thought process and my pain is nothing compared to the lived reality of people in gaza. my friend ibrahim is one of those people. he is only 16 and is trying to provide for his diabetic mother, his father with cancer, and his extended family. recently he bore witness to his neighbors being martyred en masse. he is hungry, tired, hurt, and desperate.

i know we’ve asked you for a lot of help. you’ve all been so kind in giving it. and as tired you are of this war, as tired i am of it, ibrahim is far, far, far more tired than we could comprehend.

please help my friend. i don’t want the nightmares i have of him dying to come true.

Share guys everyone share

Nader is still young but due to Israel's attacks on Gaza has had opportunities taken away from him that most kids would take for granted. At night he has to hear bombings, and his family currently lives in a tent. Access to food and water is difficult.

This campaign is 47% to its goal and donations have stagnated, so share this post and donate if you can.

Unfortunately, we are still on our way to reaching our goal of 50,000. Please, my friends, donate to us. The war is still going on, the killing is still going on, the displacement is still going on. Everything is the same, but our situation is getting worse day after day. Everything is very difficult. We deserve life. Please donate to us.

Please help Nader and his family if you can! Every little bit adds up, even if you can only share a small amount it would mean they get that much closer!

No one should have to endure what they have been enduring. It's worth giving up a treat to help them survive!

am i the only one who finds this extremely concerning???

it's giving "don't look at me in that tone"

It’s giving “look what you made me do”

But this is what fandom’s done since the beginning of fandom. “Spock enslaved” and all that, yes, but fandom takes its toxic relationship values and carries it into fic, perpetuating unhealthy ideology with it.

Every year I try to celebrate my birthday in normal circumstances, but This is the second year different... Today I complete 15 years And it started on the 16th of life, but a life filled with killing, destruction, hunger, and loss and sick . This year was the hardest, I lost everything... my dreams, my hopes, and even my sense of security I lost my best friend and I also lost my passion. I need some morale booster.

Please donate.

I appeal to you today, not only for myself, but for my family and everyone suffering in Gaza. We are now at 500 euros, and we only need to cross the 1500 barrier tonight. I know that there are those who could help but did not, and I say to them: mercy is not just a feeling; it is an action.

Hey guys, I wanted to tell you about the Ihyaa' initiative. My friend Mohammed Ayesh, who's been our vetter on the ground in Ghazzah for the last year or so, wants to make a space and provide resources for University students to complete their studies in a proper learning environment, along with providing food parcels, stationary, and other essentials. You may have heard of the Isnad initiative! It's very similar to the Ihyaa' initiative but it's located elsewhere. They had to find the right room to use as a classroom for the Ihyaa' initiative and they're going to be paying rent of 2000$ for it. Mohammed Ayesh has informed me that starting on Monday this rent will begin.

University students are the foundation of a better and rebuilt Ghazzah! If you want to help Ghazzah rebuild, this is one of the first steps you can start assisting with.

Hey guys! Thanks to your efforts we've made it to 500$ in donations for Ihyaa'. Can we make it to 1000$?

Nader is only 17 and his family are sick and starving. Zionists have destroyed their home, and now the Zionists' siege on Gaza has left Gazans without water, food or basic supplies. Nader is exhausted, and so is his father who has cancer that continues to go untreated. they have been sheltering from bombs in old shops, empty of food. please, if you can, share and donate so Nader can get his family to safety.
