I'm not weird on my planet

They complained that a 4% surtax would force the ultra-wealthy people to flee the state. It passed narrowly. Not only are these multi-millionaires NOT fleeing en masse, more of them live here now than before the tax was enacted. It raised almost two and a half BILLION dollars in 2023 alone, funding free school lunch statewide and free community college for state residents.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?

Jenny was originally designed to be a shape-shifting superhero; her “pigtails” are rocket thrusters, and her entire body can morph and shift to create weapons. Given her standard appearance is more to look like a humanoid girl, it seems reasonable that that’s an appearance she chose, rather than her default, especially because we know she can modify her appearance however she likes, albeit restricted to her two base colors unless she gets a new paint-job.

Though her mother learns to be more supportive of her later on, Jenny was originally confined to house arrest save for doing her job, supposedly because the world around her wouldn’t accept her.

She is canonically six-foot-six, which is rather tall, though it seems the average height of humanity has also gone up. So it’s not too uncommon for other men to be taller than her, but she’s also taller than most people. She has so far only dated other men who are taller than her.

She gains two different disguises for looking human. The first one doesn’t pass at all, while the second passing one convinces her to behave like a normal human girl, whispering into her ear to not only look, but behave like a “normal” girl, even if it’s not in her best interests.

It’s evidently quite common for androids to be made from different base personality points- Kenny, a boy she dated for a little while, was a re-purposed dog robot, and still carried over some of his dog traits.

The two most popular girls in school specifically have it out for her, because she’s a robot “pretending” to be a girl.

I’d suspected Jenny was trans coded for a long time, but this scene was what had me 100% convinced. 

Prior to this episode Jenny had always treated Ms. Wakeman as her mother, always referring to her as “mom/mother”; which caused Wakeman to be mocked by her peers. Ms. Wakeman was typically cold towards Jenny, always referring to her as XJ9 (essentially Jenny’s deadname) and usually treating her as nothing more than a defence droid. But in this scene Ms. Wakeman is actually seeing Jenny in danger and rushes to protect her, finally calling her “my daughter” for the first time. As soon as she does, the pure joy and amazement in Jenny’s voice just makes my heart swell. 

I don't know what's changed about how I draw Aziraphale lately, but I'm so happy with how he looks? 💖🥹✨️ I think I'm finally understanding how to capture Michael Sheen's beautiful face a bit more after all of these years!! 💖🤣✨️

how measurements work in canada (ie/ badly)

We were supposed to switch over to metric when I was in school. And I have to admit when they started this was my general thought

And This is how it played out. Cartoonishly

unauthorized fucking thing!!!!!!

(warning: loud chirping throughout)

this incident cannot be separated from comments made by former taoiseach (prime minister) bertie ahern last week about muslim people and african people in ireland, specifically congolese people. he said "the ones I worry about are the africans" while out canvassing in a local bye-election for a fianna fáil candidate.

if you hear friends, colleagues, family members, classmates, neighbours or anyone you know repeating racist comments from the likes of bertie ahern, call them out. do not let their racism go unchecked. a climate of suspicion and hatred against Black people and people of colour makes murders like this more likely to happen. everyone needs to do the work do dismantle this climate of fear and encourage compassion, tolerance and community in its place.
