a black woman named zoe amira posted a video on youtube. this video is an hour long and filled with art and music from black creators. it has a ton of ads, and in result will rack up a ton of revenue. 100% of the ad revenue from the video will be dispersed between various blm organizations, including bail-out funds for protesters. it will be split between the following, dependent on necessity
brooklyn bail fund
minnesota freedom fund
atlanta action network

chicago bond
black visions collective
richmond community bail fund
the bail project inc

turn off your adblocker and put the video on repeat. do not skip ads. let it play on loop whether you’re listening or not. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere. but let. it. play.
youtube will donate to blm for you.
Warming up for some big ol @bodycountgame, so here’s my take on Florrie! Dude I am so in love with her and for WAT
I wanted to go for a more subtle design but then I decided that maybe gaudy would fit her vibe more, like I considered making her eyeshadow a different color so it doesn’t blend in her hair, but this lady loves pink, and I just don’t think I can’t take that from her
I made a slightly improved version because apparently the lack of those small details was killing me on the inside
Idk what came over me but have a low quality shit post, featuring the characters of @rkgk-arts, @nyssarose3, @lorelaibeckons, and @elliehasahoodieandaponytail!!
Idk how accurate their characters r but uh
Yeah
Okay originally this was gonna be WAY fucking longer cuz I like to be efficient in my ramblings, however I accidentally posted it unfinished, panicked, and deleted it
So take 2
I'm scared of posting this, not because I'll be hated for saying my beliefs but that does play a small part in it, I'm scared of the possibility I wont be taken seriously, and that I will just cause more harm than good in telling the internet what's on my mind.
However people r saying not to be silent, so I won't
George Floyd was a man whom was killed during an attempted arrest for attempting to purchase goods with counterfeit money by officers, one of which knelt on his neck while he was handcuffed. Though it is being investigated on whether or not he was killed due to suffocation or toxins in his system due to alcohol consumption or allegedly drugs, the officer played a part in his death due to his reckless and stupid stunt, more info can be found here, though if this is not sufficient will gladly scour the internet more for more info. But as we all know his tragic death caused outrage.
At first the protests started peacefully as per usual, but six days after they started a man was killed by national guard when involved in a angry confrontation, in an attempt to disperse the crowds. Again this goes into a little more detail.
Now this is a very gross simplification of the problem at large, and while I'm sure most of us know about it I just like to lay down the issue before getting to the meat and potatoes of this post, the views and opinions of the poster.
Honestly? I'm conflicted, I tried, I really did try to just choose one side (BLM) because my usual neutral stand may not actually do anything at the moment. But I couldn't, there's too many factors on each side to consider, and while I'll admit I'm very biased and mostly agree with the views of BLM, I also didnt like the idea of writing the officers off as,, well officers.
I think police should be held up to their actions like everyone else, I think their definitely needs to be some changes to the organization at large, but I dont like dehumanizing every officer and just saying all of them are ruthless pigs. Whether we all like it or not those are people too, good and bad, and generalizing them, to me, doesnt really contribute anything positive to the problem at hand.
But I get why were doing it.
Were angry, and tired, and just upset that this kind of shit just keeps fucking happening, hell I'm fucking pissed at then myself, I trusted this power to uphold its word and be an agent of justice for us all and it betrayed me, AGAIN. Of course I'm fucking pissed.
But I'm scared too
I'm scared that the police will just keep following their orders and just keep acting on the offensive, I'm scared this will turn into another bloodbath due to racial tension, I'm scared because I want to believe that we've learned from those incidents and want something better.
And I do
In my point of view, humanity IS the world, we all made it and we all change it and ourselves with it, at the moment my world is America since I live here and I've never had an opportunity to go anywhere else. But I want to believe in us and so I do, I'm not trying to be holier than thou, and like I said I dont have an answer for this, I'm only one person.
So that does beg the question on why I made this dumb little tumblr post
My personal beliefs are over all neural, I get it, they dont particularly contribute to anything but their mine, and i wanted to say something about this kinda shit for once.
This has probably been all over the place, and I apologize if it makes little sense, I dont like to say one thing about a big issue like this so I tend to ramble. If there are glaring problematic issues with my point of view feel free to say so! I dont expect you guys to agree with me, but I do appreciate hearing your guys view on the matter as well!
Afterall, if anyone can change the world its the world, and that means everyone of us
Hey u guys wanna see me get dunked on by bot? Cuz I just got destroyed

Force mage gone bloody
(SO IT HAS OCCURRED TO ME THERE ARE TECHNICALLY SPOILERS HERE IM SO SORRY, so here's the disclaimer,,,)
Okay HERES THE THING I WANTED TO POST cuz I really like it, just moments with the soggy man and how he’s doing so far in @bodycountgame which I will summarize below
So far he drinks in social situations to help with nerves but this definitely bites him in the ass laterHas tiny little doodle tats on his left hand that he did himself, including the mushroom fly one on his inner wrist which u could see better in his concept art post, Now has pierced ears with one hello kitty earring because THIS LOSER LOVES SANRIO on an artistic level at least
His impressions on people are as follows: Florrie is super cool and he likes her a lot (also low key cute)
Charlie is also really cool and the messiah
Adegoke is nice and he likes hanging with him he just hasn’t figured him out yet,
Vinh seems cool and he understands why the need to be alone so he hopes to maybe get to know them better later,
and Griff managed to fucking get through at least half of his mental walls and trust issues in under 12 hours due to the sheer genuine want to be his friend and it hit Dakota HARD man, idk about romance yet but he definitely entered into a Bromance with Griff
Also he’s Demi so that’s poggers
Kotone: He’s still going..
Sonya: Ooo! The score’s so high now!
Rei: I could totally do better but I’ll let you have the spotlight, muffin
Lexis: .... (A lot of shiny coins..)
Francesca: *Casually ignoring them*
Some more MC Gang shenanigans! Yes, I’ll draw the many more new MCs in due time, dw but for now have my personal hc of Tachibana being an absolute god at Subway Surfers
Featuring @little-leech-boy,@rkgk-arts and @nyssarose3’s @lemonade-if MCs
OH YEAH ALSO @lorelaibeckons’s children are there i forfor to tag hahaaa
