So. Today I tried to draw another wolf. After procrastinating. And I drew it in a hurry. Still, I think it turned out better then the last two wolf drawings I did, but now that I look, it has the worst coloration out of the three I did, and it still has some other issues with the limbs. But still, I think I am improving.
what a miserable day.
reminding myself the world is not fundamentally changed. we have elected our own downfall, but there are birds outside, and my little niece is learning to walk, and I need to go grocery shopping.
(people had fulfilling lives during the fall of the roman empire. I'm reading books from the 1930's, the last time fascism almost consumed us. I am reminding myself of the people of the world right now living under unjust regimes. I am looking to minorities in america, past and present, for tips on thriving with a boot on your neck. I am reaching out to the half of the country who is mourning with me today, reminding myself there is good, there are helpers, we are still here.)
in the future there will be protests, bad news, fights (jesus christ, thanksgiving is still ahead). for now I am just trying to remember how to live. in 2016 I completely shut down and retreated from everyone. I allowed myself to be tricked into thinking I was alone. I don't want to do that again. (I don't want to do any of this again.)
this is how you live through tragedies - any way you can.

Halloween. A holiday that is not native to Romania. But one I celebrated since I was little. And this mounth of drawings was part of the celebration.
And the month basically ends as it begun. With a pumpkin.
Today I tried again to draw an owl. But anyway, I was busy, tired, and got in a hurry, and the owl drawing has been even worse then yesterday. Well. Lets hope that tomorrow I do it better.
A true friend is seen in times of need...
Six judges invented the US monarchy. Just made the shit up.
Interesting how the public has no access to the Supreme Court. You can't see any case. Yet billionaires can bribe the justices for decades.
Follow the money to Republican oligarchs.
Heard about the georgia protests and how the cops were using rubber bullets, water cannons and tear gas and more
Then a dude (who I call Firework Man) pulled up with a firework minigun and it brought to mind some metal gear music
I am screaming into the void, but please, to any left winger from the USA who happens to see this. Dont fucking risk global stability, or the environment by voting third party. If you split your votes with Third party candidates, you know who will likely win?
Trump.
And you know what will happen if he wins? These things:
-The Palestinian genocide will continue, with even fewer chances of ending, because Biden at least tried to put a ceasefire.
-The Russian fascists will continue to murder innocent Ukrainians, and continue treatening Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
-Project 2025 will happen, and the USA will slide into actual fascism at worst.
-The Environment will be even wrost affected, and all attempts to mitigate the damage the USA does to the environment will be stopped, thus helping bring out a climate apocalypse.
-Worker rights will be ruined even worse in the USA.
-Fascists around the world will be emboldened.
-So much more shit.
And if you think you can fix this with a revolution, do you have any idea how bloody a revolution will actually be? How many people will die in a revolution, and how much a revolution increases poverty? Do you have any conception of the fact that a revolution can actually fail at succeeding and can be squashed by an army?
Do you have any idea how much less damaging and less risky just voting now is?
Honestly, this is not the actual problem with the american people.
The problem is that they know nothing! There where actually voters who did not know that Biden dropped out, up until they actually went and voted!
They literally did not know!
If there were such voters, how can we expect them to know anything about what Trump or Kamala actually stood for?
The American electorate is HIGHLY uninformed!
