End of the year thing?
Ask me questions about 2011, or about plans for 2012! I’ll do a voice post that will probably be a bit delirious. Help me ring in the new year? (Since my yearly tradition of being sick on New Years Eve is back with a vengeance. Ugh.)

On Sam Vimes and Authority
Vetinari: I have noted before that you have a definite anti-authoritarian streak, Commander.
Vimes: Sir?
Vetinari: You seem to have retained this even though you are Authority.
Vimes: Sir?
Vetinari: That's practically Zen.

Ugh. Sick Day
So I called in sick today (Only second day off since June, so I have no guilt. And the first time I actually went IN to work anyway and then had to go home). I am stuck in that terrible limbo where I am exhausted, but have slept too much to sleep further (And the house is really noisy) but I have No Brain Whatsoever to do anything, not even photo edit.
Don’t suppose anyone plays worms...

Things we should internalize about racism: Read More
This is brilliant, and points I have to make somewhat regularly around the house- to various degrees of success.
I could use a bit of extrapolation on how racism is only racism if it’s coming from a white person, and not from a person of colour. I understand that racism/privilege as a whole is...
Anonymous asked: I think the answer to that question you posed when you reblogged the white people post would be that it's because we need to recognize racism on a systemic level in relation to power constructs. If a black person (or any other person of color) were to enact that bill it would only be prejudiced because only whites have the systemic, institutional power to make these things normative. Even if...

Dear fellow white people,
yummydick:
Things we should internalize about racism:
We can be “nice,” “smart,” “compassionate,” “caring” and racist at the same time. None of these are mutually exclusive.
It doesn’t matter if we didn’t mean to be racist. Intentions don’t matter. Actions & consequences do.
Just because we “don’t hate people of color” doesn’t mean we’re not racist. Racism is subtle, sub-conscious, and...

Every barrel of oil that comes out of those sands in Canada is a barrel of oil that we don’t have to buy from a foreign source.
Oh fucking really, Perry?
I am sure that my very Canadian second or third cousin (I don’t know which), who owns the machinery used to refine that oil sands oil would like a word with you.
Not to mention our prime minister. This would be the...

elementalsight replied to your photoset: Dad….
…When I finish making Mom, we need to do a photoshoot.
my god…. yes.
I’m just waiting for the wig to arrive. I’m going to attempt to do it as a small beehive to get her silhouette.

You post pics of your own work and people call you awesome. I mean, I am used to it for my photos, since I’m showcasing other people! But it’s way less common for my costumes. WQ’s photoset has gotten more notes than most of my cool photos ever do in like, 7 hours!

Accomplishment!
For the first time in EVER I have officially finished and submitted a challenge fic! I did not default! I did not back out! I didn’t run away and hide in bed for a week!
I am so damn proud of myself. Thanks to EVERYONE who helped me out this last week! I couldn’t have done it without you!

Ladystuck progress: four hours till it’s due, 12,000+ words down and only 3/4 done, fuck my life. You can lead a girl to lesbian make-outs but you cannot make her stop, evidently.

Ladystuck?
So… I need a beta for my ladystuck fic. about 2.5/3k. My usual beta is off at the movies and this is time sensitive.

A few days ago during my two week long winter break, I was to have a photoshoot with a bunch of other Homestuck cosplayers. I was pretty excited since it’s been awhile…
There are stupid people in every fandom, and Homestuck is just lucky enough to have more than usual. I...

how much photoshop is too much?
lifeaccordingtosarah:
like is little touch ups like pimples and fly away hairs okay?
It’s a really, really subjective thing. Some people like a lot of Photoshop - they want to look as much like the character as they can, and that includes taking their cosplay a step further and altering things in Photoshop to get the final product. For some people, Photoshop is just the last tool in...
tartingshop:
Also I want you all to know that I have this urge to stop being anti-social and try to chat with every one of you ladystuckers but if I officially met you all at this time of night it would really overstimulate me and I’d just sort of wander around my room, glassy-eyed, instead of getting any work done
So let’s get to know each other later, okay??
I totally think there should be...

All right, lets do this.
I have 1k of my ladystuck done, and probably about 1k to go. A pot of tea, plenty of good music, and no plans besides FINISHING THIS PIECE.
We are doing this. We are making this happen.

Drawing?
If I wanted to maybe get someone to draw me as the Prince/Queen of Rage as a godtier…would anyone be interested? I really want one, but the awesome contests that are going around I have no chance in heck for so….?
(I am also sad because I comissioned a Dave from someone for a charity thing, and I think they’ve totally flaked.)

Hemostuck, or that fic that makes Amanda cry in...
Hemostuck updated, and I - like a fool - tossed it onto my tablet so I could read it on the way to work.
I repeat: like a fool.
This fic - this fic gives me too many feelings to know what to do with. This fic makes me want to cosplay from the illustrations because I cannot draw or art and it is the only way I know to properly express how astonishing I find every chapter, every character. And...

I really wish people in romance movies weren’t always dating somebody else. Like giving a character a shitty significant other doesn’t ACTUALLY make me want them with together with the other lead more it’s just irritating and unnecessary.
I want to see a movie where they’re already married or together or happy.
I just want to see a...
