they show up in court and just ask the lawyer for the collection company: can you prove where this number comes from? Do you have a contract showing that you purchased our debt? probably luckily for them, a reporter researching a book on the topic showed up and asked the same questions.

10 minutes later they get in front of the judge and the collection company drops the whole case and theyre free to go. story is below, it has a transcript in the link too

WE HAVE NOT YET LOOKED INTO THIS.

... but holy shit it's worth pursuing if you're drowning in debt and these are your circumstances. I'll definitely be adding this to the Big List of Future BGR Topics. Here's more of our advice on debt:

the pitt fandom, how we all doin' 👀?

the finale is almost here, and we are NOT ready. will langdon and robby clear the air? what's up with al-hashimi? will robby get to have a nice holiday instead of...whatever he's been planning? and who, oh who, will help digitize all the patient records?? somehow we're all still here doing unpaid emotional labour over fictional trauma doctors. here’s some fan art of your faves to keep you going.

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

^Community-led Mobilisation to Reject Trans Bill 2026. Please look into it.

THE RIGHTS OF INDIAN TRANS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET TAKEN AWAY IN JUST A FEW DAYS. I THINK ITS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR EVERYONE TO AT LEAST CARE.

I know I was being vague in the original post, and i apologise, genuinely. But to specify, this bill takes away our rights for self identification. Our identity will no longer be in our hands, no longer ours to determine, no longer our own but for medical institutions to determine. It's plain erasure.

Our lives are miserable enough as is in this country so it literally takes nothing for the 90% white userbase of this site to sign a petition or spread awareness. That's all that it takes from your side.

Fellow indian trans people or allies can use this this link to email your member of Parliament about the Trans Bill, made by members of the Queer Against the Trans Bill Collective.

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

i love character design but i'm struggling to expand my horizons to more complex things like embroidery or armor for example. you draw armors and period clothing a lot, do you have sources for references you could share?

the websites and blogs i used to draw inspiration from are either dead or riddled with ai and it makes research for character design feel like a chore... these days i'm kind of stumped on where to find archives of different clothes from different times

i like world4.eu theyve got lots of fashion plates, would also rec looking for books on archive.org on period clothing, plenty of things to be found on archive dot org.

you can also get a lot of good western fashion plates post about 1830 from the met collection: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/libraries-and-research-centers/watson-digital-collections/costume-institute-collections/costume-institute-fashion-plates

and the NYPL database: https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/

most state libraries have an online database that you can access, hometown plugging the MHNSW https://mhnsw.au/collections/state-archives-collection/ though the website can be clunky there are some gems to be found in there if youre very brave

also if youre using pinterest see if you can track down sources for the pics, usually the websites theyre stealing from will have more things

My absolute favourite comic journal by Stevenson. Made me cry my eyes out. Even when I can't articulate it, it gets to the core of what I think love is.

In a memo to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem regarding tribal members recently detained by ICE, Frank Star Comes Out, president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, said:

“This is a treaty violation. Treaties are not optional. Sovereignty is not conditional. Our citizens are not negotiable.”

He added:

“The irony is not lost on us.”
