Turtle

I have a few sticker designs now up on my ko-fi! There are some codebreak designs and also some discounted/discontinued designs from fable smp and others ^^

Man it’s been so long since I’ve posted art on here

Commission for @turtle-taetell of Lee and Aspen from Bloodstone SMP :D

I also think that most people can relate to a small, helpless creature trying to get from one place to another and there's a FUCKIN WALL in the way.

But to come back to point 1- Citizen Science fills a hole in the soul that wanted to go out on adventures and discover things when we were younger, but the study of it was hard or we didn't have the money or our schools were garbage. But you don't have to have a degree to do things like... press a button or download and use an app, or count or transcribe notes.

Anyways- here's some Citizen Science links if the Fish Doorbell makes you feel happy and you yearn for more ways to help scientists do stuff:

Foldit (folding proteins)

Fathomverse (sea animals)

Project Monarch (butterflies)

Bioblitz, an event where citizens identify as many species in an area within a period of time

Species Watch (animal species)

BOINC’s Compute for Science

Zooniverse is a website that hosts information on many citizen science projects

Label trees in aerial photos

Count cells in fossils and modern leaves

Digitize Atmospheric Data

Count penguins

US-based Citizen Science Database

eBird (bird identification)

Merlin (bird identification by sound)

iNaturalist (nature identification)

MapSwipe (collaboration between several Red Cross organizations and Doctors Without Borders, update vital geospatial data)

Can I make fan art for you?

Yes. You were born with that right, stop asking.

Can I make a podfic of your fic?

Yes. You were born with that right, stop asking.

Can I make OCs in your universe and play with them, cuz its a cool universe?

Yes. You were born with that right, stop asking.

Can I please ship these 2 characters, can I enjoy this trope, CAN I ENGAGE IN FANDOM?

Yes. You were born with that right, stop asking.

It is a misperception that asking equals politeness. It doesn't. You have the right - don't debase yourself by groveling. That creator is not a god. When you debase yourself and your fandom by asking for permission to engage in your natural rights, you implicitly encourage censorship. Because what will you do if that creator says no? When that other fan dislikes your favorite tropes or ships? Are you going to allow, and even encourage, censorship by obeying those who should not be obeyed?
