Hello, I am Astel, I use they/he/fae. I run a lot of different blogs, most notably: @centers-for-disease-control @goverment-agency-bracket @purplemagnoliapod and the blogs tied to those.
I reblog a lot of leftist stuff, but if you come into my space to start arguments, I will block you. Tumblr is my escape from that stuff, so you will have to find me elsewhere to discuss politics.
I am into a lot of horror podcasts and you will probably see me reblogging a lot of stuff related to said podcasts. If anyone wants to talk about the podcasts I listen to, I am so down. I am very normal about them. Also, I have my own horror fiction podcast called Purple Magnolia that y’all should check out.
I do art and if you are in the market for something, I can do commissions, my commission sheet is attached below.
Also, here is the cat marching video for when I get sad:

theres too many pokemon games where you play as a kid whos full of life and full of potential. there needs to be a pokemon game where you play as a college dropout who lives in a shitty apartment
your starter pokemon are trubbish, rattata and glameow. which symbolise the trash you keep forgetting to take out, the rats living in your walls and the stray cat you keep trying to befriend but it keeps hissing at you.
you guys dont get it its not supposed to be dark and edgy its supposed to be living in a mundane setting and slowly rediscovering the wonder in the world by going on a journey with a magical trash bag that is your friend, its about love and recovery and coping with the stress of your adult life with your friend who is made of sentient garbage
Red Robin: I had sixteen other thoughts going on. Grab my house keys wasn’t one of them. It can happen to any of you guys.
Red Hood: Random thoughts? Like kissing your boyfriend good night?
Red Robin: Hey, he needs my love. He worked a twenty-hour shift. You wouldn't understand.
Red Hood: My girlfriend works!
Red Robin: As a mercenary.
Red Hood: That’s a lucrative side gig. She has four jobs, and none of them are stripping! Yeah, I overheard your conversation with Impulse. You’re just jealous of my love life.
Red Robin: She only dates you for your muscle.
Red Hood: You can't say the same thing. Pete Davidson has more muscle.
Red Robin chuckled at the insult preparing another insult, but the carjacking goon they stopped poorly decided to interject.
A random goon (interrupting): His skin is pasty too.
Red Hood: Who the fuck are you talking to?
Goon (stammering): W- What?
Red Hood: His skin issue isn’t your damn business! He takes care of himself. What’s your excuse?
Goon: But you were just joking about how he forgot some keys. That’s dumb on his part.
Red Hood: You don’t insult him! He forgot his keys, it can happen to anybody. We saw you trying to jump-start a Tesla, you fucking moron.
Red Robin (piling on, arms crossed): You couldn’t even break the window of the car. Tesla windows are terrible. You only got lucky cause the door was unlocked.
Goon (defensive): I’m new to this! Geez! You guys are mean.
Red Hood: And you’re an idiot. Now sit down. I’m taking you in in a minute. Don’t talk again!
The goon pouted, walking away and sitting on the floor, upset.
Red Robin: Thank you.
Red Hood: No problem. Only I can insult your acne issue. Robin already brought up your red nose.
Red Robin: I get a few pimples every few months. I can’t control that. Asshole.

do you guys remember when it came out that there was targeted sexual abuse & forced labor of transmasc & other queer perceived-female people at an ICE facility, and like it was very specifically "transmascs getting both sexually harassed, told to wear makeup, actively assaulted to make them act more feminine, while also being forced to do grueling manual labor & being directly told this was a result of them "wanting to be a man""? do you remember when that came out and then it was crickets from the community it feels like.
And now we have the community panicking about “ICE targeting trans people” and it’s like… they already did, you just didn’t care when it was happening to trans men of colour.
At the South Louisiana Ice Processing Center in Basile, detainees say they were forced into hard labor – and sexually assaulted and stalked
“I was treated worse than an animal,” said Mario Garcia-Valenzuela, one of the detainees. “We don’t deserve to be treated like this.”
Garcia-Valenzuela, a trans man detained at SLIPC, has alleged that, as part of the unsanctioned work program, [assistant warden] Reyes forced him to move heavy cabinets and cinder blocks, and to clean using industrial-strength chemicals without gloves or protective gear. When Garcia-Valenzuela complained of injuries from the work program, he said, Reyes and his associates forcefully stripped him naked and mocked him.
Kenia Campos-Flores, who is trans and non-binary, told the Guardian that they suffered from persistent migraines and chest pain after exposure to cleaning chemicals they were made to use during unofficial, overnight work shifts. Campos-Flores also alleged in a complaint they were persistently sexually harassed by Reyes, who entered their dorm and stole possessions including their boxers.
Another trans detainee, Monica Renteria-Gonzalez, complained that a stripper chemical he was told to use to clean the facility floors seeped through his fabric shoes and burned the skin of his feet. On more than one occasion, while Renteria-Gonzalez was bent over cleaning, he said, Reyes came up from behind and inappropriately touched him. The assistant warden also told Renteria-Gonzalez he was watching the detainee through security cameras, including while he was showering.
A fourth detainee, identified by the pseudonym Jane Doe, is a cisgender, queer woman who said that Reyes forced her to perform oral sex on him on a “near daily basis” between February and May 2024, threatening to kill her if she refused, according to her complaint.
Doe, who was deported to the Dominican Republic in January this year, has chosen not to share her name or speak publicly because she fears that Reyes will make good on his threat to find and harm her, her lawyer said. [...]
“This was a sadistic late-night work program,” said Sarah Decker, a senior staff attorney with RFK Human Rights. “It was designed to target vulnerable trans men or masculine-presenting LGBTQ people, who [Reyes] coerced into participating.”
A cis woman was also involved in the sexual violence:
Twice, Renteria-Gonzalez said, Reyes came up behind him and touched him inappropriately. Another SLIPC officer, according to Renteria-Gonzalez, began to sexually harass him as well, sending him explicit notes and showing him pornographic images of herself.
This article includes more from each victim, but I want to highlight this part as well:
Garcia-Valenzuela had fled to the US in 2014 from Mexico, where he was tortured by members of a drug cartel. “I have no choice, that’s why I’m fighting,” he said. “Because I know that as soon as they deport me, I’m going to be handed over to the cartels and I’m going to be tortured and killed – ripped into pieces.”
But in SLIPC he faced a new kind of horror. He alleged that on more than one occasion he was told to move heavy metal filing cabinets back and forth across a room. When he struggled to lift the furniture, Reyes would taunt him, he said, saying: “If you think you are a man, I’m going to treat you like a man.”
In the spring of 2024, Garcia-Valenzuela reported sexual harassment on the basis of his gender, in accordance with Prea. He said he felt targeted due to his gender identity and wanted the fact he is transgender removed from his file, as a measure of protection. But an [ICE] officer responded that “even if we take off your transgender marker, there is no hiding that you are transgender”, noting Garcia-Valenzuela’s physical appearance, he said. To Garcia-Valenzuela’s knowledge, no follow-up investigation into Reyes was conducted.
Renteria-Gonzalez’s complaints were dismissed as well, Renteria-Gonzalez said.
To repeat what was said above: we have the community panicking about “ICE targeting trans people” and it’s like… they already did, you just didn’t care when it was happening to trans men (and nonbinary people and queer women) of colour.

Partner and I were playing scribbl.io with some friends and I got the prompt "minion" and I drew this
And everyone guessed it except my partner, and I kept adding more stuff to it, growing desperate as the timing ran out, and the whole time my partner was like "What is that. I've never fucking seen that. Is that some kind of cereal mascot" and I was getting sooo heated I was like starting to yell irl WHAT DO YOU MEEEAN WHAT IS THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS, DON'T PLAY WITH M-- you're ragebaiting me right now, you MUST be.
I kept adding more shit to it until it eventually looked like:
And finally the timer ran out and the answer was revealed and my partner was like "Ohhh the height seemed a little off" and I swear to you my vision blacked out for a second
I love my partner more than anything but for the remaining like half hour we played every single time they guessed anything right I'd be like "OH? THE HEIGHT WAS CORRECT? WAS IT CORRECT THIS TIME?" and when they guessed wrong I'd be like "AH, I SEE THE HEIGHT WAS INCORRECT. THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE HEIGHT" and they'd be like "You are SO angry"
Forgot about this post! Anyway there's a new Minions movie apparently and every time I see it I get so fucking steamed and I'm like "How's the HEIGHT, does it seem ON MODEL TO YOU" to my partner and they're like "You are still so mad"
i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it
