Be true to your heart

Norman Reedus and Ninja Melissa McBride extended version.

The NFL has made it official that they will now recognize same sex couples on their kiss cam so that everybody can celebrate love

The NFL showcased its first same-sex couple in a kiss cam last year. And in an ad for Love Has No Labels, a campaign created in partnership with the Ad Council and R/GA, it announced its efforts to zoom in on a greater variety of people.

An Icon a Day Makes the Waiting Easier

My first contribution to the Caryl tumblr fandom was a series of 100x100 icons I made and posted one each day. It was initially a way to help make the hiatus go faster - hence, “an icon a day…makes the waiting easier” (playing off “an apple a day…”). The great thing about that was that I approach a ton of Caryl fanartists to ask permission to use their work. I hope I exposed people to the variety and talent that we have. (I also hope I set a good example about how to create derivative works the responsible way.) However, I will be the first to admit that the quality of the icons was often poor, since most were made in the days before I got adobe photoshop. I am embarrassed at how many of them looked.

But, I still love making little graphics, so I’ve gone ahead and remade a bunch of icons. For the new icons I have made them 150 x 150 and used almost all photos of Caryl or McReedus, with very few screencaps. Some of the original were of questionable quality, but I did the best I could. I will also repost a very, very select set of the old icons that I thought were the very best of the batch.

This post will be updated with more icons as I make them.

There is no need to credit me if you want to use an icon. However, crediting the original fanartist or faneditor (if one is noted) is always an appropriate gesture.

So background, for those of you not in the know: My sister has been in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship for over 10 years. This asshole has torn her self-esteem to shreds and had literally ruined every family event ever, and if you need abuse receipts, he’s actually been convicted of domestic violence against her. He’s a horrible piece of shit.

As if that’s not bad enough, they have a four year old daughter, who’s like the best thing ever btw. My sister wants to get her out of that situation before things get any worse. He’s never raised a hand to the kid, but my sister wants to get gone before she starts to think it’s ok for a man to call his wife a “bitch” in public, pick fights over non-existent problems, belittle her about things she likes, aaaaaand so on.

She’s finally, finally ready to leave him, and I’m so proud of her. If you know anything about abusive relationships, you know how hard it was for her to finally make that decision.

But hey guess what, she’s going to need money to get her shit together. She’s one of the hardest working people I know, but waitresses don’t typically make bank. And I’d hate for her to have finally made this decision and not be able to go through with it because she can’t afford it. She’s going to need money for legal fees, and to get a new place set up, and all that.

So oh look hey guess what, she’s set up a Go Fund Me!
