Random Mind Time

Besides things at my work still going 100mph, I’ve been volunteering a lot more recently. I saw a premier screening of Sorry To Bother You a few months ago and heard the director, Boots Riley, and Danny Glover talk about how words really weren’t enough - that showing up and action are really what brings about change, and it really inspired me to get out more and support organizations working to bring some peace back to America. That, along with several friends of mine (unfortunately) being sexual assault survivors and being so disheartened by the Kavanaugh appointment (myself included), it just brought about this feeling of “either I sit here and let it burn, or I get up and help.”

So, I’ve been doing what I can to get people out to vote and supporting sexual assault survivors, as well as people who are recovering from addiction with the opioid crisis still going strong.

My mantra in life continues to be - “They can pry my kindness from my cold, dead hands!”

That being said, I have been meaning to take a break and have some “me time” back in fandom because it warms my heart and I miss it.

::walks out of my apartment to get something out of my car, eyes firmly fixed on scrolling through tumblr on my phone, not paying the slightest attention to the outside world::

::halfway down hallway of apartment complex, suddenly realizes I can hear the Stargate Atlantis theme playing::

::stops dead in my tracks, wondering if I have finally gone crazy::

::realizes its coming from a neighbor’s apartment but I can’t tell which one::

::creeps back down hallway, pausing at doors, until I find which its coming from::

::memorizes apartment number and vows to become friends with new neighbors::

::goes back to my apartment with new goal::

I was very ambitious with this piece and TBH, it might be my favorite I’ve ever done. I didn’t start out to make a fully-formed piece (and I loathe drawing backgrounds) but I did all of that, including some complicated shading and pattern-design.

I think you wait until posting date, and then they all go up and author's post what art they want

@popkin16 I actually found this email in a previous post, so I think I need to email it in - [email protected]

Question, though - I don’t have the slightest idea on how to post it on LJ? I’m so far removed from the platform. Does anyone know if I should wait to post it before a certain date (I know it says that July 4th is the due date for art) or if there’s a specific way to post it?
