Meidas Touch covered our Tesla protest and I’m in one of their videos, the movement against MAGA is real. Please, if you see ANY coverage of our protests or town halls, no matter where you are in the world, SHARE THEM. Boost them across all your social media, even tag your local news networks if you think they’d cover it. OUR news? American legacy media? Cronies. Bought and paid for. Collaborators at best, state media at worst.

Fascism is already here. The chill has settled into our major institutions. If it hadn’t, our news networks would be REPORTING ON THE PROTESTS HAPPENING OUTSIDE THEIR VERY HEADQUARTERS. The world should know that the American public is organizing, not doing NOTHING, and we have a high wall of apathy and outright cultism to scale. Please, help us!

For accurate coverage of what’s going on in the States and genuine pushback, consider following:

For takes on how this all is faring from a legal perspective (because I work in municipal law and because so much of the battleground is in the courts system right now):

These are just a handful that are keeping me sane, I’m sure there are many more. Please, throw in anyone else doing good coverage that you may see. Subscribe to them, give them views, like their posts, share them as much as you can because we are up against billionaires who do not want this message to spread. The GOP and MAGA cult are taking the position that these protests are not growing and that they’re made up of “domestic terrorists,” whom they are certain to jail for literally any little perceived slip up. We need your help. Keep yourselves informed, my fellow Americans. Do not let dirty, fucking filthy Nazi scum take us and global stability and democracy down with them. Do not make Putin’s cronies’ jobs any easier!

RESIST.

I am reblogging this primarily for the international crowd because, AGAIN, legacy media is fucking around with the truth.

I spent all day yesterday in our nation’s capital protesting this regime and DOGE, and then marched on ICE Headquarters with Let Gaza Live directly after.

Our media is either not reporting on these protests or they are saying disingenuous shit like “thousands” or “hundreds of thousands” of protesters gathered. It was not hundreds of thousands.

It was millions.

Five million is the most recent I’ve been able to find, but of course it can be difficult to pin down just how many bodies showed up. What we do know is that in NYC, there were only 44 police officers for well over 200,000 people because they DID NOT EXPECT THIS TURNOUT. That alone goes to show just how successful the corrupt and complicit mainstream media has been in repressing our anger and activism. In DC, there were at least three MAJOR protests: Hands Off, Let Gaza Live, and We Are The Flood, which centers veterans and protests Project 2025 at the Heritage Foundation (while also seeking to educate people on Trump’s decades of ties to Russia). Some estimates have DC’s protests tipping 1,000,000. There is another Hands Off this month and intend to go.

The goal is 12 million. Those numbers matter. Those numbers cannot be ignored no matter what legacy media decides to cover. Numbers like that mean that no matter where someone lives in the USA, they’re driving by a damn protest at some point, or at least hearing about it the next morning in the local news. Nobody can feign ignorance with numbers like that. Please, please continue to join us abroad, and my fellow Americans, please attend the next protest if you are physically able. The time for action has already passed, we need you. We need your numbers. Find a friend, make a sign, or just come as you are. That’s what I did. However you are able, just be there.

And I am humbly asking for anyone who sees this and gives a damn about democracy, and the integrity of the human conscience just as much as the global economy, to boost this list of independent media sources based in the US. They continue to topple MAGA red mouthpieces like Fox News, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, and more. Please. A new age of news consumption is dawning in our country. We have to help it along. We have to give fearful people a place to turn so they know they are not alone. So they don’t succumb to despair.

We are not powerless and we are not immobilized by fear. We will not be silent.

Parkrose Permaculture, one of the accounts I listed in the original post, breaks down exactly what I was referring to in the previous post update. Even PBS is being sloppy about this.

My oc and the souls of the Feanorigs (on the palms of my hands is the star of Maglor)

This drawing made me realise that actually I love the comfort zone and I would like to go back into it. Also that I must draw more tigers.

My personal goal is to try and make fanfic binding as accessible to everyone as possible, so here are some resources on how to make a fanfic hardcover for under $25.

This is a barebones bind for the broke college students and such. Happy to field questions, too!

Here's a proposed budget breakdown:

Loosely organized thoughts:

  • Fanfic bookbinders often share typesets amongst each other. Never pay for a typeset for a fanfic.
  • You'll hear a lot about grain direction for your printer paper, but as a newbie on a budget without your own printer, settle for some nice 92 bright paper. If you like the hobby, splurge after but expect to pay at least 2-3x more for short grain paper.
  • Printing is a pain because some copy shops won't let you print intellectual property smut, and it's very expensive. You are better off bartering instead or looking for a free printer on Buy Nothing.
  • You know the thick paper wrapping that comes with online orders? It's a good weight for endpapers if you need to scrounge. Paper grocery bags or gift bags (birthday presents) might work, too.
  • Ask your local library to give you covers from books they are throwing out. Ask for outdated textbooks (those covers are built like tanks) or three-ring binders that are too busted to be binders anymore.
  • Obtain a used book that was mass produced (so your destruction of it does not impede anyone's access) and maybe even become a little vindictive with it.
  • If you can afford it, I recommend the Olfa SVR knife (~$10)
  • If you can afford it, upgrade your ruler to a t-square.

I really hope this resource is helpful! I want to stress how possible this is and encourage people to cherish what they love through art.

If you are interested in fanfic binding and have a little more disposable income, I have an affordable Fan Fiction Bookbinding Starter Pack that I carry on my site. I pack them myself and drop them 1x/month on the 15th.

This is such a great resource for anyone starting out fanbinding!
