Hi everyone, I will be accepting commissions soon. I will be opening my commission form (which you will be able to find in my carrd here) at 10pm 25th July (tomorrow) Malaysia Time! Feel free to send in your submissions if you're interested. ^^

here is a map of the path of the eclipse (from timeanddate)

I feel like Berdly would be a well meaning but ultimately toxic dps.

Asheleth being cute for @chocomd for FE Art Scuffle 😘

No, now get on the horse, Ricken.

We are going back to page 14 of Immortal Fool's prologue, which you can see here: https://immortalfool.thecomicseries.com/comics/14/#content-start

We're deep-diving into this and it will be drawn way better than this era was 16 years ago! This also means i have to jump back into Fawful's North-American-specific regurgitated English, but I am going to intentionally tone it down to make him as accessible to read as possible. Anyone who does not like that can look for other Fawful fan media to enjoy. There is a lot out there. :)

I will be participating in Art Fight again this year. I will be focusing on revenge attacks, including friendly fires. Below are my favorite attacks from previous Art Fights. Attack me and you'll get something similar.

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

This torches everything. And I do mean everything.

A very abbreviated list of its ramifications include (but are not limited to):

ending funding for ALL DEI related initiatives

allowing the government to terminate grants at any point for any reason

preventing researchers from publishing, going to conferences, and being part of academic societies

requiring that topics must support the president’s agenda.

What this means, and if anything I’m under selling it, is the death of science and research in America. It allows the government to restrict any topic they please at a whims notice, putting officials who have no background in the topic in charge of deciding funding continuity. It controls what gets researched and if/how researchers are allowed to share their discoveries. There are no books to burn if the government never allows them to be written. This is fascism plain and simple.

Public comments are not a vote, it is a chance for you to say "here is an issue with this law I think you need to address" and provide justification for legal challenges if it goes forward:

"Comments raise the bar that agencies have to meet when making a rule; “if an agency fails to adequately respond to significant, relevant comments in a final rule, members of the public may seek to challenge the rule in court on that basis and claim it could be struck down.ˮ"

Don't let fear or feeling doomed stop you. If you're overwhelmed that's okay, but take a break, take a breath, talk to someone about how you're feeling, and continue.
