Usagi Buzinkai, composer of Homestuck’s “Doctor” as well as many other popular tracks that helped shape so many young people’s lives passed away several days ago.
Usagi was an asexual trans woman in the process of coming out before she died and we cannot let her passing erase her identity.

Okay, this thing’s core concept is so stupid that it feels like a parody of bad kids movies, which is why I urge you to watch this with no further explaination…
At first I was thinking “This actually looks kinda good. I wonder what OP’s problem with it is.
The Democrats won back the House, gained subpoena power, and can now serve as an actual check on 45. This is very very good.
So even if it wasn’t the “blue wave” a lot of people were hoping for, I want you to remember that the GOP no longer will hold as much power as they did. Lots of women were voted into office, LGBT+ candidates were voted into office, more POC were voted into office, two more Muslim women were voted into office, Florida voted to restore voting rights to over one million felons who have completed their terms of sentence, and Massachusetts voted to protect transgender rights. I know there was more but this is what stood out to me.
And right after I finished writing that I learned the GOP supermajority in NC is over and our Governor’s veto powers can now be sustained. And the Dems now hold a 5-2 majority on the state supreme court which means something might actually get done about our horrific gerrymandering and I totally just started crying. I think my anxiety just dropped about sixty pegs.
Despite the gerrymandering and very blatant voter suppression (i see you, Kemp), we did take steps in the right direction today. So take some deep breaths, take the next few days to yourself and get re-centered, and then keep going. Lean on your friends, treat yourself to something nice, come back with a vengeance. We’re in for a long fight.
